How to unlock the Finish What You Start! achievement in Mortal Kombat - Definitive Guide

You only have to do one fatality per fighter, so using the fatalities in each character's "Move List" should net you this achievement. It must've been some HORRIBLE glitch, but this achievement didn't unlock for me until I performed the last fatality possible and the only one I hadn't performed (Quan Chi's Stage Fatality). All fighters have 2 Fatalities, 1 Stage Fatality and 1 Babality, so I've listed them all for us MK fans that want to see all the humor and all the gore!

Here is how you can perform the finishing moves:
- Fatalities can be done in Fatality Trainer, Arcade, Versus or Online.
- A Babality cannot be performed in Fatality Trainer.
- A Stage Fatality cannot be performed on Fatality Trainer.
- Stage Fatalities work on Living Forest, Pit, Hell, Street, Deadpool and Subway.
The Stage Fatalities can be done quicker by using a 2nd controller and going to Versus mode. At the character selection screen, hit the Y-button to choose a stage that a Stage Fatality can be performed on.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that while you can perform fatalities in Fatality Trainer, they will not count toward the achievement. In this case, the Fatality Trainer is for just that: training. BABALITIES DO NOT COUNT EITHER!

The 1st Fatalities can be found in your "Moves List" while paused.
Here are the 2nd Fatalities, Stage and Babality for all characters:
The distance in which you need to stand and face buttons are in parenthesis.
Remember that F = forwards, U= up, B = backwards, D = down and Block = RT.
Hold RT to keep from jumping on finishers that require you to hit up.
That is hold block, input finisher and quickly release block. It takes practice.

The fighters have been rearranged in alphabetical order for your convenience.

You sure you have to do all finishers for everyone? as it seems people have got this by just doing each characters 1st fatality

Just got this achievement. I can confirm that you do not need to do all of each characters -alitites, just 1 Fatality (Regular or Hidden) for each is enough to unlock.

That's weird. The reason I wrote that was because the achievement didn't unlock for me until I did the only fatality I hadn't done: Quan Chi's Stage Fatality. Why me?!

Looks like I'm heading down the long road as well. I've done at least 1 -ality of each character, but no achievement yet.

Holding the RT (Block) is just a helpful tip. It can make inputting commands with "Up" much easier.

The achievement also didn't unlock for me right away. I did everyones fatality in training but it never popped so I went to my players stats and whatever character's fataility said 0 I just went into ladder match and did their fatality you listed and it popped in no time. Thanks for the guide.

Yup, just got it and i can say that fatality trainer DOES NOT work. All you have to do is go to Nekropolis and look at the stats for each character. It has to have at least 1 beside "Finished". Just go to ladder on beginner with the matches set to 1 round and do any fatality with anyone left.

I can confirm that you can do these in 2 player mode, but not fatality trainer. In addition to that, doing Babalities do not count. I looked in Nekropolis and noticed all my characters had fatalities done but I didnt get the achievement. Just do arcade ladder and do all the characters first fatalities and move on, then switch characters.

Just to add for me at least, I had to do them with the 1st controller. I had 2 controllers in versus but the fatalities only counted if I used the first controller (player 1). WTF?

@fadedninja77

The game saves the number of fatalities done per character based on the profile signed in (check the Nekcropolis for those numbers), so the only fatalities that were counted toward the achievement were those done under your profile.

Also, I can confirm for the nth time that all fatalities done in the fatality trainer don't count toward the achievement. Any of the regular and stage fatalities done outside of the trainer definitely do count, though.

Strange. While playing vs mode with my friend last night I successfully pulled off one of Kano's fatalities. However, I've just gone into the stats screen on the Necropolis and it does not appear to have registered it. Can anyone possibly offer an explanation for this at all? Cheers.

Thanks Grizzly Grip, I didn't even think to look at my player stats,..duh right? lol! I saw the final character I need to get a Fatality with was Sheva and it did not work on Fatality Trainer either. It unlocked when I did it on the Ladder. Good solution even though it is not completely accurate. Thumbs up anyways for posting all the finishing moves for everyone.

Now I have gone through and done all of their secondary fatalities and still no achievment... I even have a check list that I double checked, but I still know that I have done all their secondary fatalities because they don't show up under the move list until you have done it, and they all have them showing.... :-\

Ok, I went back and checked again through my list and apparently there was one character I had that was showing in the moves list menu that the secondary was unlocked, but I hadn't performed it yet from my paper list. Finally got it.

Could you note that Babalities dont count towards this achievement? I did every single one and got the achievement for doing so but this achievement didnt pop as well. Shame this vital piece of info wasnt mentioned in your guide.

I've done at least one fatality with all of the fighters in fatality trainer for Komplete Edition. It doesn't work that way. My best guess is that it has to be done in a non-training environment.

I believe I may have the same issue, I just did a fatality everyone in the ladder and it didn’t work, the only two character I did babalities with were Liu Kang and Sindel but I made sure to do a fatality with them too. Maybe I’ll have to do ALL fatalities for every character.

I'm having difficulties with this one as well... I even looked through all the stats of all my characters and they all show at least 1 fatality performed, which they should anyway because I have done all of their "hidden fatalities" and gotten that achievement. Guess I'll work on doing them all for each character now

More of a tip than a solution, but you only have to do ONE fatality for each guy if you need to check your progress.... Go to extras, Necropolis, and just check each persons stats to see how many fatalities you've done with them! Hope this helps =]

I found this acheivement easy in versus tag team match all you have to do is set up another controller then beat the pulp out of him you can do all your throws and x-ray attacks in this mode too, Then restart on the other controller and jump to the alt' charactor repeat the kick ass then back to charactor select to repeat the process with all charactors beware that some fatalitys are only activated in the right place, not too close, not too far. Good luck :)

All I did guys was played 2 player game one match did everyones first fatality and freaked out when I read all that you had to do. But it poped for me and I don't have everyones 2nd fatalitys unlocked or all babalitys done or stage fatalitys it must have glitched cause I did the challange tower and I was cyrax and I babalityed kabal and it poped.

The best thing to do would be to use another controller, go to versus mode; and also try to squeeze in the "e-X-cellent!" and the "The Grappler" achievement.
(For the purposes of this - go to options and change the rounds to win to 1)

First do both your forward and backward throws, then take charge of the other controller and beat yourself up (this is necessary, because your meter fills up faster when you're getting beat up. Once your X-Ray meter is full do the X-Ray attack. Then finish their health.

Once the finish him screen comes up, go to moves list, select your fatality and do it.

Also another quick note
Touching is when you're literally touching the opponent and theres no space between you and the opponent
Sweep is sweeping distance, where you would usually stand for a sweeping attack
Jump, is jumping distance, stand at touching distance and do one jump backwards.
Fullscreen is where you and your opponent occupy the full screen of your television.
Shouldn't take you more than 2 hours or so.

I'm just adding a tip to what everyone else said. I went through after not getting the achievement to unlock and went through the character list making sure to do everyone's number two fatality. I dont know if it makes any difference, but I originally didnt unlock this after combing a bunch of fatality number ones, two, and stage fatalities. When you go through the list do everyone's first fatality, second, or stage in a group. Don't mix and match them.

SIDE NOTE -also when going for achievment with two controlers in any mode beaides TRAINING(NOT COUNT), remember to sign in the second profile. Cuz i didnt, just presed start button to launch the game. Oviously had to do whole thing all over again. ;)

This will come naturally if you perform a Fatality with every character whilst going for the Arcade Champion trophy. It's also possible to use the touchscreen to perform the Fatality to avoid making the mistake of jumping or hitting the defeated opponent instead. All characters have two Fatalities each, with the exception of Scorpion, Sub-Zero and Reptile, who have an extra third. Once you perform a Fatality with all 32 characters, the trophy will unlock. The moves are listed in the spoiler below and must be performed at the distance specified from the opponent for each one. If using the touch screen, just input the directions alone at the appropriate distance.

Fatalities are the final moves done at the end of each battle by the winning fighter. After the announcer shouts "Finish Him!" you must perform a specific combination of buttons to do the fatality. Distance is a key factor. Press and select Move List to see how to perform each Fatality or read this thread for a complete move list. If the Fatality requires you to press up on the d-pad, hold the Block button while inputting your combination so you don't jump.

You can keep track of this roughly in the Nekropolis by checking how many "-alities" a specific character has (beware, this also counts babalities), by keeping a checklist, or by running through all the characters in order. The Sans Power code again speeds things up.

This can not be done in Fatality Trainer.

You need to keep track of your fighters and perform a single fatality with every 28 characters; training DOESN’T count. You can keep track of the fighters in the Nekropolis. Pause the game once you see the “Finish him” label in the screen and go to the move list to see how to perform them. You can download this CHECKLIST to help keep track of the moves and fighters.

You won't be able to complete this trophy in training, so you'll have to do it in battle. The best way is while working on the ARCADE CHAMPION trophy

The fastest way to get this trophy is 1vs1 settings 1 round 30 sec at the start code 044 440 one hit and we do a fatality =) IMPORTANT GO TO NECROPOLIS AND LOOK AT WHICH PLAYERS THE FATALITIES HAVE BEEN DONE 0-3 TIMES ON THOSE AND START DOING IT, IT SIGNIFICANTLY SAVES TIME
