How to unlock Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1

In Mortal Kombat 1, each character initially has one Fatality unlocked. However, to unlock their second Fatality, you’ll need to increase the Mastery level for each character. You can achieve this by playing various game modes, including Towers and Invasions. Remember, you don’t need to unlock the second Fatality to perform it if you already know the correct inputs.
