Mortal Kombat Armageddon Fatality Guide (aka - The Art of Maiming)
So here we go, due to a few questions I get on my vids, I have put together a ‘How-to’ on doing ultimate fatalities. I will just list how to do the ultimate fatalities I have on youTube at the moment, and give a few pointers into the timing and tricks that make it easier. First off, look at this: http://db.gamefaqs.com/console/ps2/file/mortal_kombat_armageddon_finishing.txt. Credits to Hayashizaki(IGN) and M2V3A(IGN). This is basically what I used to figure it all out. How to do all the moves are in there, it also has all the info you need about character classes and whatnot. Anyway, on with the show….
Here are things you need to know:
- Although the ripping moves look great, they take time to do. And since your time runs out quickly in the end, they are better off done at the start.
- Some of these start out the same, its because the movements are piss easy, I try to do my fatalities forward move, back move, up move, down move just cos its easy to remember
- When in doubt, FINISH HIM. As long as you have a finisher you will get Koins. 6 hits with money means more than a failed ultimate
- You can only pull 2 arms off Goro and Kintaro. I have spent ages trying to get all 4. It doesn’t work.
- Speed is the key, I tend to use a lot of UU1, DD1 type moves cos they are so quick it is an easy way to add hits to the fatality in the middle
- Draw your sword. Just pulling out the sword is 1 hit counted. Then a quick FF1, FF2, they have no arms and you have 3 hits already.
Thats all I can think of at the moment. On with the guide to my MKA Fatalities. Before I start, here are the buttons -
PS2:
1 - Square
2 - Triangle
3 - X
4 - Circle
Xbox:
1 - X
2 - Y
3 - A
4 - B
Fatality 1 - Moloch - 11 Hits
This fatality is the easiest one in the game, it works with all boss-type characters and is also a big glitch. Unlike all other characters, boss types get a hit counted for transitions like knocking them face down, turning them around etc. To do this one:
FF1, UU1, FB1, DF1, FF1, DF1, DF1, DF1, DF1, DF1, FF4
Have a play around, but this is a really easy way to get money, or just to show you can do one.
Fatality 2 - Ashrah - 11 Hits
Okay, Ashrah is a type 3 sword character. The only other is Cyrax. I have no idea why, but it’s cos that guide says so. It means they have limited transitions and some different finishers. Her fatality is:
Not too shabby. But I deliberately did this to show what was unique about type 3, ie the head impale. You will notice theres 12 moves in the actual fatality, To do this:
FF2, BB2, FF1, DD1, BB1, UU1, UDU1, FF1, FF1, DB2, FF1, FF4.
Fatality 3 - Dairou - 11 Hits
Dairou is a Sword type 1 character, same as Sub Zero, Scorpion, Li Mei and Kenshi. The signature move, the dreaded shish kebab. Take a look:
FF2, DD2, FF1, UU1, BB1, DD1, FB1, UDU1, FF1, FF2, DF1, FF4
Fatality 4 - Mavado - 11 Hits
I was particularly happy with this one, the hooksword made it look quite vicious. Mavado is a Short Sword character, so is Kano, Kira and Mileena. The short sword characters can do face down transitions and have a decap finisher, but I thought I would show the impale, cos theyre naice.
To do this:
FF1, UU1, BB1, DD1, UDU1, FF1, FF2, BB3, DD3, UU3, DB2, FF4
Fatality 5 - Jarek - 11 Hits
Jarek is the ONLY axe character in the game. Why isn’t Ermac you ask? How the hell should I know? Kabal isn’t in the same class as Mavado for weapons either, and according to the story, Mavado uses Kabal’s hookswords. Maybe we weren’t meant to ask those questions…. Anyway, for this fatality, I just did the decapitation cos having an axe makes it look awesome.
Here’s how to do it:
FF2, BB2, DD2, FF1, BB1, UU1, DD1, UDU1, FF1, FF2, FF4
Fatality 6 - Ermac - 10 Hits
Ermac is a completely standard character, cant draw a sword. Or his axe….. But I did this one to show a really standard one, nothing flashy. I tried to make the movements pretty simple, I kind of forgot what I was doing in the end, so if its done quickly it should look awesome.
DD2, UU2, UU3, FF1, BB1, UU1, DD1, DB1, UU1, FF1, DD2, FF4.
So there you have it, 6 fairly simple ultimate fatalities for Mortal Kombat Armageddon. Have a look at that guide and play around, let me know what you come up with if you want. Or if you want to see something happen, email me and I will give it a go. Hope you enjoyed the read, heres a cmpilation vid and an extra fatality I screwed up

please tell me how to do scorpions ultimate fatality please
June 5th, 2007 at 3:51 pm
Scorpion is a type 1 sword character, so you can use the movements for Dairou and it will work for him. I let my mate borrow the game so when I get it back I will make one and record it for you.
June 5th, 2007 at 4:04 pm
[...] Although I have said this before, just thought I might mention I will take requests. As long as I have/have access to a game, I will put up a video of something someone has requested. At the moment, these are just Mortal Kombat Armageddon fatalities. I have my guide set up, but I only did 5/6 characters. That leaves a grand total of 54 others. So far I have a Scorpion fatality lined up. I might even put a video up per character if I get enough requests. So there you go, Mortal Kombat Armageddon fatality guides and videos at your demand. Just post a comment here, on the fatality guide or email me. [...]

[...] If you’re wondering, ay, I saw a link to this site at the end of a youTube video, you’re probably wondering where the moves are to do a few Ultimate Fatality sequences for Mortal Kombat Armageddon. They will be up shortly, I am trying to do a few more before I post another guide. I have 2 more characters to do then there will be 7. In addition to the first guide that should be almost 15…. wait… maybe 13… i dunno, you should be on your way. So check back tomorrow, or the next day, maybe even the one after. The new guide will be up soon. [...]
June 23rd, 2007 at 2:25 pm
[...] If you’re reading this, then you should know what to expect, I won’t give an intro or tips like the first guide, im just putting it all here. [...]

June 24th, 2007 at 3:19 am
im begginer to the game and i might sound like an idiot but how do you get into the fatality mode screen/when it goes black thanks
June 24th, 2007 at 6:43 am
hey mojo, unfortunately you cant do any sword moves cos characters you make are all standard, no way to change it. pretty lame eh?
mike: dont worry man, everyone’s a beginner in the start. you just start any fatality combo and it will change black automatically
June 30th, 2007 at 9:27 pm

so I’ve been reading your page and you have some amazing stuff here. PLease please put up a complete guide to all the ultimate fatalities, but if I could make a request, I love fighting with the girls. If you know some ultimates for some of the other girls you haven’t posted that would be totally awesome!!
July 11th, 2007 at 2:17 pm
thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. im working on fatalities for a few of the girls at the moment, so i will try to get them sorted soon. i’ve decided ill try to get a massive guide to show 1 for each character but between fulltime work and other stuff it might be a while yet. but i could around 20 to play with at the moment. check back soon though!
July 15th, 2007 at 12:09 pm

February 20th, 2008 at 9:50 am
yeah man, times they are a-becoming quite different. as fun as it was to do the guide i kind of hope they bring back the older ones next game
March 27th, 2008 at 3:03 pm
dang, you’re good man, the most iv gotten is an eight hit fatality, im still learning the branching for knocking your opponent on their knees, and on their belly, plus pulling pout your sword, so im still getting there.
March 27th, 2008 at 3:06 pm
hey, when you rip both arms off with BF2, how do you slap them with both arms?
March 27th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
BF3 mate. you can do it 2 times but you have to do it pretty early on cos it takes a lot of time. If you are really tricky you can rip both arms off, hit them twice, then hit them 2 more times with 1 of the arms. Check out the Kobra fatality in the main guide
March 27th, 2008 at 3:27 pm
ultimate fatality for scorpion… (kinda difficult, but it can be done.)

September 20th, 2008 at 5:39 am
Hi I’m not new to mortal kombat I can do the fatalities, but my trouble is the transition moves. such as knees, face down, face up etc. plus how to draw a sword during the fatality stage. If you could help me with the buttons used for which transition phases could you. I know that db1 dropes, and db1 also lifts them back up, but thats all I can figure out. thanks for your time
September 29th, 2008 at 12:00 am
i did an ultime fatality whit shang tsung here is how i did
FF1 UU1 BB1 DD1 DB1 FF1 FF2 UDU1 FF1 DB1 FF1 FF2 AND FF4
if you wish you can change the last part (FF4) for UU4 OR BB4 but I prefer the FF4 because that’s a decapitation with a short sword jejejejeje
November 2nd, 2008 at 10:06 pm
