Despite making her debut more than a quarter of a century ago, Tanya is one of the most under-utilized kombatants in the Mortal Kombat franchise. It's for this reason that some were a little surprised to see her included in the starting roster of Mortal Kombat 1, though as is often the case when she's selected, the enigmatic Edenian definitely doesn't disappoint.
She boasts one of the game's most beginner-friendly move sets as well as some of its finest finishers. Those hoping to learn how to perform all of Tanya's Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1 will need to put a little bit of work in, but the rewards for doing so are well worth the effort. This guide will not only provide instructions for performing these Fatalities, but also a few videos showing exactly what they look like.
The videos featured in this guide contain graphic scenes that have been rated 'Mature' by the ESRB. Viewer discretion is advised.

Tanya's first MK1 Fatality can be carried out by pressing down, back, down, front kick while at close range. It sees Tanya hit her opponent so hard that their head spins right around and then ram her staff straight down their throat. The titular helping hands then appear and help her force the staff further down before pulling it back out and yanking the other kombatant's head clean off of their shoulders. After that, Tanya celebrates with her Kameo fighter ahead of the next challenge.

To perform Tanya's second Fatality in Mortal Kombat 1, players will need to press back, forward, down, back punch while at medium range. Inputting these commands correctly will lead to Tanya summoning her helping hands, which lift her victim up into the air. She then throws her staff like a javelin, managing to remove the other fighter's head and split their body in two. The staff sticks into the ground and the severed head slides slowly down its shaft. It's one of the more brutal MK1 Fatalities and a humiliating way to lose.
Mortal Kombat 1 is available now on PC, PS5, Switch, and Xbox Series X|S.
