Mortal Kombat 1 Players Figure Out How to Summon and Defeat Hidden Fighter Floyd

gamingbolt.com:

Mortal Kombat 1 players have seemingly deduced how to finally face off against legendary secret challenge opponent Floyd. A self-confessed “Floyd chaser”, TheThiny, took to social media platform X to post a video of a fight against Floyd.

According to TheThiny, the way to get Floyd to fight against you is to keep completing Floyd challenges, which then make him appear. The video posted by TheThiny was seemingly captured by another player who managed to trigger the fight against Floyd in Mortal Kombat 1‘s Tower game mode.

TheThiny themselves have been quite active in the datamining community for Mortal Kombat 1, and has since also posted an entire shared doc that outlines the challenges players will have to complete to start a fight against Floyd. These challenges range from completing matches without taking a single hit with specific characters, to winning a match using not but throwing attacks.

While several players have since been able to take on Floyd, the character is still shrouded in quite a bit of mystery. Players are now trying to figure out Floyd’s moveset, which seems to have quite a bit of range. Floyd also uses a host of different elemental attacks, including lighting and fire. Defeating Floyd for the first time also comes with an extra reward in the form of a new stage.

Before Floyd was finally discovered by the Mortal Kombat 1 community, Ed Boon himself had been teasing the character earlier this month. Boon took to X to post about lyrics from the song Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd, and referring to these lyrics as part of the “ninja oath”. Assets for Floyd’s existence in Mortal Kombat 1 were also discovered, lending further credence to the character being in the game somehow.

Boon had also revealed earlier this week that Mortal Kombat 1 had been quite successful, having sold more than 5 million copies. The game was also in the top 15 of the most-played PS5 games.
