Feats Guide
Untouched
Description: Destroy all checkpoints in a single stage.
How to Obtain: This one is pretty straightforward once you're comfortable with the game's flow. Honestly, picking one of the easier stages, like Pridemoor Keep, is a good bet. Don't stress too much about dying; it won't prevent you from getting this feat. Just make sure every checkpoint you encounter gets a good ol' shovel whack!
Untouched
Description: Emerge unscathed from a battle with any knight of the Order of No Quarter.
How to Obtain: This can be a tough one to get on your first playthrough. If you're going back through levels after you've gotten a feel for the game, it'll be much easier. I'd recommend trying this against King Knight – he's generally considered the easiest to manage. Just be super careful of his confetti attack; it can catch you off guard!
Shovel Economy
Description: Finish a level and swing the shovel blade fewer than 20 times.
How to Obtain: This is a neat challenge that encourages you to rely on your other abilities. The best way to tackle this is to equip your full set of relics and use them liberally. Consider using the Conjurer's Coat relic, as it'll help you manage your magic. For this feat, your shovel should really be a last resort, only used when absolutely necessary. Stages like The Plains are good candidates for this.
On a Diet
Description: Finish a level without eating any food.
How to Obtain: Simple enough: just don't consume any food items for an entire level. This isn't too difficult. You'll want to actively avoid all food platters and any large enemy gem piles that might drop food. Again, The Plains is a pretty forgiving stage to try this on.
Sparker
Description: Finish off any boss using the Ground Spark technique.
How to Obtain: Head back to The Plains and find the Black Knight. Get him down to just one hit left. Then, make sure you drink a health vial to restore your health, and finish him off with a Ground Spark. It's a flashy way to end a fight!
You're Fired
Description: Finish off the Black Knight with a reflected shot.
How to Obtain: This feat is pretty much self-explanatory. You need to reflect one of the Black Knight's purple energy projectiles back at him to land the final blow. Timing is key here!
Pungent
Description: Listen to all of Croaker's Puns.
How to Obtain: Brace yourself, this one might test your patience! You'll need to find the frog, Croaker, in the relic seller's room and listen to his puns repeatedly until the feat unlocks. It can be a bit of a grind, but that's the price of completion!
Juggler
Description: Impress Mona with your skill.
How to Obtain: From what I can tell,
