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[edit]
The following Feats are available:[1][2][3]
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".
Currently (checked in September 2021), even the repeatable feats do not grant skill points more than once. They only grant a "point" in a post-quest summary.
Name | Repeatable | Description | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
Arcane Regeneration | Yes? | Heal 1000 total damage with Arcane Regeneration skill. | To get Arcane Regeneration skill, you'll need at least 6 other skill in the magic tree + Seer's Balm. |
Bark & Bite | Yes | Defeated a Ripper. | Triggers normally, when Ripper is killed with fire, arrows, melee weapons. |
Big Spender | Yes | Make a 5000-silver purchase from Aelita. | Internal feat name: TradeBuyBig. It does not have to be one item, you just need to spend 5000 silver in one transaction. |
Block/Parry | Yes? | Successfully parry an attack. | You need to acquire a Parry skill and use it. Hit right mouse button once the foe has begun their swing, and successfully block all damage. |
Bound Time Kill | Yes? | Killed a Bound enemy while time is slowed down. | Weaken the enemy first, if needed. Use ᚾᛖ spell to slow time, use ᚾᛏ to bind an enemy (if he's undead)and finish him off while he's bound. It's good to have both spells prepared in wands/bag, so you can switch fast. |
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 | Make a 500-silver sale to Aelita. | Internal feat name: TradeSaleMed. It does not have to be one item, you just need to sell stuff worth 500 silver in one transaction. |
Cat Burglar | Yes | Gathered a key item without being detected. | It can be any quest item (a key for one of the main quests, a memora for a side quest etc.). Triggers even if you don't have the side bounty to do so. |
Cautious First Steps | No | Sneak by initial foes without being detected. | Sneak past the three skeleton archers of Pluto's Gate in the "sneaking" part of the intro. In patch 2, a few skeletons were added before this point. If starting a new game just to do this, "New Game +" mode skips the tutorial levels, so can't get this feat. |
Cheat Death | Yes | Avoid death 3 times with the Iron Shirt and/or Shadow Step skills. | Acquire Iron Shirt skill from a fighter tree or a Shadow Step from a rogue tree. Afterwards, plant the seedling near some enemy to have an easy resurrection spot and let him punch you until you get the feat. |
Combo Attack | Yes? | Successfully performed a combo attack. | You need any attack skill that combines a movement key with an attack key (e.g. Fighter's Fury). After you acquire it, just use it to kill an enemy. |
Crawstuck | Yes? | Jammed a trap with an object. | Levers which disable traps can trigger this, as can use of the physics objects. The Trap Impairment skill may help. |
Dead Eye | Yes? | Deal 10000 total damage with ranged attacks. | Easily dome with arrows/throwing knives. |
Death Dealer | Yes? | Deal 15000 total damage with melee attacks. | Seems bugged. Possibly it only counts sword attacks, not all melee attacks. |
Dynamics of Reversal | Yes? | Reflect a projectile. | Unknown spell. Reflect spell MAY be ᛒᛉᛖ. Reflect wand is marked as "REMOVED". Internal feat name: ReflectedAnArrowOrMindBlast. |
Executioner | Yes? | Deal 10000 total damage with axes/maces/hammers. | Triggers just fine with axes. |
Explorer | No? | Collected 25 Compendium entries. | Internal feat name: CompendiumA. |
Firestarter | Yes? | Kill an enemy with fire. | Works fine with Flaming Orb spell, as well as burning objects. |
Fists of Fury | Yes? | Deal 10000 total damage without weapons. | Just use unarmed attacks (by default bound to 0 key). |
Four Runestone Spell | Yes? | Cast a spell with 4 runes. | You will need a high enough skill to at least cast a 2nd level spells without penalty, so you can attempt 3rd level spells. |
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 have to do this during the main quest 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. |
Inventive Wall Run | Yes | Execute a Wall Run off something other than the walls. | You need a Wall Run skill from the fighter tree. Jumping at the wall of a box works fine. |
Long Jump | Yes | Leapt a horizontal distance of 15 meters. | You will need a jumping skill to achieve this, just jumping off a cliff down doesn't work. A blow from a Ripper can also throw you far enough to achieve this. |
Massive Firestarter | Yes | Kill 5 enemies with fire. | Works fine with Flaming Orb spell, as well as burning objects. |
Master Archer | Yes? | Deal 10000 total damage with arrows. | All kinds of arrows (except Water Arrows) work for this. |

Multi-Trap Kill | Yes | 5 enemies were killed by traps | For this, tripwire does not count as a trap. Those have to be traps found in the environment. Rollers, blades, pits - all work fine for this. |

Tripwire Kill | Yes? | An enemy was killed by a tripwire you placed. | You can buy a tripwire from Fane and Aelita - they sometimes have it in stock. You can also find it lying around. Place it in any corridor and lure the enemy in. If you don't have tripwire damage boosting skills from the rogue tree, you'll need to weaken the enemy first. |
