Wondering how to unlock Havik in Mortal Kombat 1? NetherRealm Studios’ latest fighting game brings in a roster that rewrites the stories of its legendary characters. Havik is among this list but he’s initially locked. Don’t worry though as you can unlock him without spending a dime.

Havik’s violent playstyle looks incredible thanks to the next-gen visuals on the Xbox Series X|S and the PlayStation 5. Here’s the Mortal Kombat 1 roster tier list if you want to know who he’s up against. And here’s how to do a brutality in Mortal Kombat 1 if you prefer them to fatalities.

How to unlock Havik in Mortal Kombat 1?

Complete the six-hour main story mode campaign to unlock Havik in Mortal Kombat 1. It’s one of the shorter campaigns from the series. Clear all 15 of Mortal Kombat 1’s chapters to unlock this grisly character. Note that the final chapter also includes the credits. You can make this quicker by skipping through cutscenes and adjusting the difficulty level. Having Havik as a playable character lets you access him across modes like Mortal Kombat 1 Invasion.

While PvP players might find it annoying to grind through the campaign, its short length is filled with exciting reveals and deadly fights. It’s a time-consuming method that you can’t quite cheese your way through. After entering the franchise in Mortal Kombat: Deception back in 2004, Havik has popped up in several titles. But he was nothing more than a cameo in the last game, Mortal Kombat 11. So it’s understandable that players are clamoring for his return. Seeing him break his own jaw before dousing an opponent in blood is a satisfying experience in Mortal Kombat 1. 

While he’s not as well-known as fighters like Scorpion, Raiden, and Sub-Zero, he does have his fans. The Cleric of Chaos feels joy in pain, both as he deals it and when he is subjected to it. Havik’s enhanced regeneration allows his moveset to feature some brutal attacks that harm him as well as his opponent. Havik’s face has a deranged smile this time, thanks in part to his burnt jaw due to an injury. The franchise is known to push the standards for age ratings in video games, after all.
