How to Fight Pink Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1

Floyd is a secret enemy that can only be unlocked by completing 10 Floyd challenges. There are a total of 37 Floyd challenges, but you only need to complete 10 to attempt a fight against him. All Floyd challenges can be completed in VS mode against yourself, besides the few challenges that require you to play specific game modes.

You’ll get the following Pink Floyd notification whenever you complete one of his challenges in Mortal Kombat 1. You will be assigned 10 out of 37 challenges randomly, and each player will get 7 random challenges: 1 Finisher/Fatality challenge, 1 Story Mode challenge, and 1 Towers of Time/Daily Quest. Furthermore, it’s possible these challenges change for each player on a daily basis.

Note that it’s possible to complete multiple challenges in the same fight, but you’ll only get a notification for having completed one challenge, so we advise against this as it makes them harder to track. If you’re using 2 controllers, make sure the Pink Floyd notification appears on the left side, indicating Player 1. Floyd will also appear at the start of fights sometimes to give you a hint about one of his challenges, but this does not mean that the challenge is active.

While you can complete Floyd’s challenges in most game modes, it’s not possible to complete them in Invasion Mode.

Thank you to TheTiny for data mining and compiling this list of all Floyd challenges in MK1. Furthermore, you should note that it’s possible that the challenges are rate-limited with a daily cap to prevent players from finding Floyd easily within a single day. However, this is not confirmed.

How to beat Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1

Once Floyd appears you will have to fight him using the character you completed the 10th challenge with. You will have 3 attempts to defeat Floyd and if you lose all three, you’ll have to complete 10 challenges all over again to fight Floyd again.

We suggest taking this fight slowly and playing more defensively. This is because Floyd has a massive arsenal of powerful abilities from various fighters. He has Sub-Zero’s slide, Scorpion’s Hook, lightning abilities, invisibility, and a Rainbow Wall to prevent you from backing off. If you get too aggressive, he will punish you. Therefore, it’s better to stay on the defensive, block his attacks, and then punish him with a full combo whenever he overextends.

  • Stage: Field(Sunset)

Can You Unlock Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1?

No, Floyd is a non-playable character who only appears as an enemy after you complete his challenges. There is no way to unlock Floyd or play as him. If you see footage of people playing as Floyd, it’s likely they modded him in on PC. You can, however, unlock his color palette and costume to play with Online.
