A feature that revitalized the game and brought its community together like never before, MK1 players can unlock an exclusive stage by finding and defeating the pink ninja Floyd. But as you can expect, unlocking the fight won’t be as simple as getting a 25-win streak.
So that you can add the game’s most breathtakingly impractical stage (really, just try facing Cyrax on it) to your collection, here’s how to find Floyd and unlock the Field in Mortal Kombat 1.
How to Unlock the Floyd Secret Fight in MK1
As revealed by the community and confirmed by modder and dataminer , you can unlock the Floyd fight in Mortal Kombat 1 by completing ten challenges among a series of 37. You will know you completed a challenge once a small Pink Floyd icon appears on the side of your screen, followed by its signature guitar riff. The thing is, there’s no way to know which ten will trigger the notifications for you, as each player will be given a random selection.
You can check out all of the challenges below, based on how they are listed in and organized by whether or not they demand specific characꦺters.

Once you go through the list and unlock your 10th Floyd notification, you will either immediately face Floyd or be able to trigger the fight by starting a Player vs CPU battle. To make the process easier, I recommend completing as many tasks as possible while in local P༺layer vs Pla🙈yer. Leaving the non-playable character-locked challenges for last is also a must here if you want to face Floyd with your main duo.
How to Defeat Floyd and Get The Field Stage in Mortal Kombat 1
After triggering the fight, you can defeat Floyd by making the most out of your chances and focusing on blocking until you spot an opening. When the opportunity does show itself, make sure to get the most out of it, as Floyd will have access to caffeine-infused versions of many ninja moves and won’t hesitate to use them to either mix you up or catch you whiffing. On the bright side, once in a combo, his lack of a Kameo won’t allow him to break it.
To make the fight easier, I recommend using your first try to get the hang of the battle. Remember, you will have three chances to defeat Floyd. There’s also no need to worry if you cannot do it, as losing will refresh your challenges and give you another random selection.
Can you unlock Floyd as a playable character?
Floyd cannot be unlocked as a playable character in Mortal Kombat 1. But that does not mean you won’t be able to flaunt your achievements when in competitive matches, as defeating him will reward you with a few Floyd-themed Pallets for both Kameo Scorpion and Sub-Zero, as well as a few themed banners (aka Kombat Cards).
