Feats
"We Saurians are dedicated to documenting and sharing unique survival tactics" - Resherak
Feats are rewards for completing game objectives or performing pre-determined actions in a game.
You can get Underworld Ascendant feats simply by playing the game. As you perform certain actions in the game, you'll occasionally earn a feat, which also gives you memora points that may be used with Resherak to buy skills: in essence, you are sharing with him the memories of your feats, in exchange for seeing the memories of others', which teach you their skills.
There is considerable overlap between Feats and Steam Achievements, and the differing descriptions and names of one can give insight into how to complete the other.
Feats
The following Feats are available:[1][2]
Some feats can be done multiple times, others are one-shot feats which you get once in the game. those which are confirmed to be repeatable are marked "Yes". those believed to be repeatable but where this has not been reproduced are marked "Yes?". Those known to be one-shots are marked "No".
Name | Repeatable | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Balancing Act | Yes? | Balanced on a plank. | Balanced like a see-saw, or balancing on its end? Unknown. |
Bark & Bite | Yes? | Defeated a Ripper. | Has not triggered when slaying them with swords, fire, missiles... |
Big Spender | Yes | Made a huge purchase from Aelita. | Internal feat name: TradeBuyBig. Exact price required is unknown. |
Bound Trap Kill | Yes? | Killed an enemy with a trap that had been blocked. | Internal feat name: BoundTrapKill |
Box Master | Yes? | Jumped on a levitated box | Does not seem to trigger when using ᚾᛃ (Bind wood) or ᛖᛃ (Move Wood). |
Cash In | Yes | Made a big sale to Aelita. | Internal feat name: TradeSaleMed. Exact price required is unknown. |
Cat Burglar | Yes | Gathered a key item without being detected. | Triggers even if you don't have the side bounty to do so. |
Cautious First Steps | No | Snuck by initial foes without being detected. | Sneak past the first three skeletons of Pluto's Gate (the "sneaking" part of the intro tutorial). If starting a new game just to do this, use "New Game" as "New Game +" mode skips the tutorial levels, so won't work. |
Combo Attack | Yes? | Successfully performed a combo attack. | Possibly not skill dependent after Patch 1, but may require skills such as Bloody Barrage or Fighter's Fury. |
Crawstuck | Yes? | Jammed a trap with an object | Levers which disable traps can trigger this, as can using physics objects. The Trap Impairment skill may help. |
Diverting Behavior | Yes? | Caused an enemy to investigate a sound. | Does not seem to trigger with thrown or carried physics objects. If not bugged, may require a glass vial for distraction. |
Dual Caster | Yes | Cast your first spell. | All spells are two or more runes. "ᚢᛗ" (Heal Person) is the first spell you can cast. Despite the description, this appears to repeat. |
Dynamics of Reversal | Yes? | Reflected projectile. | Unknown spell. Reflect spell MAY be ᛒᛉᛖ. Rune wand is marked as "REMOVED". Internal feat name: ReflectedAnArrowOrMindBlast. |
Explorer | No? | Collected many Compendium entries. | Internal feat name: CompendiumA |
Hard To Reach | Yes | Switched a lever without touching it. | You can obtain this by throwing or firing something at any lever, including in the very first room. You need to do this at least once, in Pluto's Gate, the training level. |
Incite Commotion | Yes | Enemies convinced to turn on each other. | Outcasts attacking monsters does not trigger this. Standing so that a foe is between yourself and a bowman or magic user seems to be the simplest path. Angering a reaper while others are close to it may also trigger it. |
Long Jump | Yes | [None] | Jumping from a height allows greater distance, especially with various jumping skills. A blow from a Ripper can also throw you far enough to achieve this. This feat seems to lack a feat description. |
Meteoric Demise | Yes? | Killed an enemy with a burning crate. | Does not trigger from holding or placing burning crates against foes. May have to beat them to death with the flaming crate? |
Mind Killer | Yes? | A Mind Crippler was killed indirectly. | Internal feat name: MindCripplerDiedWithoutPlayerDamagingIt. |
Night Vision | Yes | Used Night Vision | Requires the Night Vision skill. Crouch in darkness after obtaining the skill. |
Parry | Yes? | Successfully parried an attack. | Requires Parry skill. Hit right mouse button once the foe has begun their swing, and successfully block all damage. |
Pit Fallen | Yes? | Killed an enemy with a trap. | Has not triggered with mechanical traps. Perhaps requires a pit trap? Summoned trap? |
Pounce | Yes | Pounced on an enemy. | Requires the Pounce skill. Jump onto their head, Mario-style, from a ledge, or just from the ground if you have good enough jump skills. Can be a 1-hit kill, in combination with other passives like Ambush. |
Researcher | No? | Collected a remarkable amount of Compendium entries. | Internal feat name: CompendiumB |
Resherak | Yes? | Speak with Resherak to learn new skills | Triggered the first time you meet Resherak: perhaps also when revisiting him. |
Scholar | Yes | Collected an impressive amount of Compendium entries. | Internal feat name: CompendiumC. Re-triggers periodically. |
Silent Assassin | Yes | Killed an enemy without being detected. | You can one-shot people from stealth with damage-boosting skills and weapons. Otherwise, attacking them in darkness can work, as can shooting them from cover. |
Slide Kick Attack | Yes? | Slide Kicked an enemy. | May require Saurean Slide skill, in which case this is the same as "Saurian Slide" Achievement. |
Uncompromising Obstruction | Yes? | Blocked an arrow with a held object. | Hold a crate while you're being shot at. Since this blocks their sight, maybe peek over it until they fire. |
Untouchable Assassin | Yes | Defeated an enemy without being damaged. | Sneaking up behind low-level enemies with a decent weapon can one-hit them, particularly with skills that increase Adept or weapon damage. Ranged attacks also help. |
Water Arrow | No? | A well-aimed water arrow can quench a torch. | Internal feat name: DouseTorches May only trigger the first time, if at all. |
Weaponized Slug | Yes? | Killed an enemy using a Deep Slug trail. | |
Windfall | Yes? | Made a huge sale to Aelita. | Internal feat name: TradeSaleBig. Exact price required is unknown. |
Wrap It Up | Yes? | Made a big purchase from Aelita. | Internal feat name: TradeBuyMed. Exact price required is unknown. |
