How to perform a Mercy in Mortal Kombat 11

Mortal Kombat 11 is out now and we’ve got a handy guide to perform a Mercy if you’re feeling generous to your opponent.

The Mercy move can be used when you see “Finish Her!” or “Finish Him!” onscreen and will give your opponent a bit of their health back. You’ll receive 15,000 points for the finisher… but you can also chain a more fruitful Fatality or Brutality after you beat your foe up again for even more points.

To perform a Mercy, do the following at mid-range: Hold L2 + Down, Down, Down + Release L2

If done correctly, you’ll see a beam of light restore some health to your foe. Beat ’em up again and then use our handy Fatalities guide to rip their head off or something.

Mortal Kombat 11 is available on Windows PC, Xbox One, PS4 and Switch.

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
