Unravel the cryptic challenge “Destroy the World” in Mortal Kombat 1’s Invasion mode by mastering a secret fatality that literally blows up the battlefield. Ready your Kameo Cyrax and prepare to unleash his devastating Annihilation Fatality to break through the barricade and claim your victory.
As with other Invasion Klues (such as “Toasty” and “Flipping Out”), you’ll need to execute a special move in the middle of a fight to solve it – a special Kameo Fatality, in this case. After you solve these Klues, you’ll get a chest filled with free, randomized loot.
In this Mortal Kombat 1 guide, we’ll help you find the Destroy the World Kombat Klue and solve it.
Where can you find the “ESDORYT TEH DWLOR” Klue?
You can find the “ESDORYT TEH DWLOR” Klue at the very start of Fengjian Village during the Damn Sand fight against the Time Construct (Geras) in Mortal Kombat 1’s Invasion mode. This Klue is a scrambled phrase that reads “DESTROY THE WORLD.” To solve it, you need to finish the fight by performing Cyrax’s Annihilation Kameo Fatality at mid-range, which involves the input Forward, Back, Forward, plus the Kameo button. Successfully doing this will destroy the barricade blocking your path and unlock the Sub-Zero Kameo for use.
At the very start of Fengjian Village (on the Mesa’s third combat), you’ll encounter your first Kombat Klue in the Damn Sand fight against the Time Construct (the character Geras). The Klue says “ESDORYT TEH DWOLOR” which, unscrambled, reads “DESTROY THE WORLD.”
What is the solution for the “Destroy the World” Klue?
To solve the “Destroy the World” Klue in Mortal Kombat 1, you need to equip Cyrax as your Kameo and finish the fight by performing his Annihilation Fatality.

Successfully doing this will cause Cyrax to destroy the entire planet in a dramatic cutscene, clear the barricades blocking your path, and unlock the Sub-Zero Kameo for future use.
This Klue probably sounds pretty cryptic if you haven’t messed around with the various Kameo characters and their unique Fatalities, but it’s pretty simple to solve once you know what to do.
Equip Cyrax (the yellow cyborg) as your Kameo fighter; your main fighter doesn’t matter here. Head into the fight and defeat the Time Construct like normal. When you get to the “FINISH HIM” finisher stage of the fight, use Cyrax’s Annihilation Fatality to kill the Time Construct.
