Feats are specific tasks in The 3rd Birthday that can be cleared to unlock various rewards, such as new upgrade parts for weapons, and new cheat codes. Each chapter in the game has a fixed set of feats available in it. Many feat descriptions are at best oblique hints as to what is required; some of the more obscure ones are compounded by tending to need particular strategies to actually meet the requirement, such as targeting certain enemies first, or moving soldiers around in a particular way. Episodes 0 and 6 have no feats.

The infamous shower FMV can be viewed between episodes in either the locker room at CTI HQ or the shower room in Maeda's hideout; the requirement to view it is that Aya must accomplish a particular feat in the preceding episode. The feat required is different on each difficulty level, but if Aya fails the required feat, examining the shower will give an indication of which feat was needed, such as "I can't let those Snatchers take me!" for the first feat of chapter 3-2. Unsurprisingly, the shower scene is not viewable between Episodes 0 and 1, due to episode 0 having no feats; also, between Episodes 5 and 6, there is no opportunity to view it, so Episode 5 feats are not relevant to the scene.

There are five different "ranks" of feat, defined by the BP reward. These will be referred to as ranks one to five in this article (as an alphabetical scale would risk confusion with the game's Episode ranks); the BP rewards are as follows:

	Easy and Normal	Hard (150%)	Deadly (225%)	Insane (337.5%?)
Rank 1	1,200	1,800	2,700	04,050?
Rank 2	1,600	2,400	3,600	05,400?
Rank 3	2,000	3,000	4,500	06,750?
Rank 4	3,000	4,500	6,750	10,125?
Rank 5	4,000	6,000	9,000	13,500?

Chapter 1-1Edit

Rendezvous with team unharmed

Aya must reach the safe room without having taken any damage whatsoever (even if she recovers the HP).
Feat received after entering the safe room.
Rank 3 feat.

Destroy all Wads

Aya must destroy every Wad in the chapter. Two Wads in the last zone before the safe room only appear when Aya approaches the metal mesh fences; one fence is at the start of the zone, and the other is behind the orb.
Feat received after defeating the last Wad.
Rank 2 feat.

Destroy all Slackers

Aya must destroy every Slacker in the chapter.
Feat received after defeating the last Slacker.
Rank 1 feat.

Chapter 1-2Edit

Bring civilians to safety

Aya must take at least five civilians to the safe room by Overdiving into them and returning there. The civilian in the room before the safe room (the one with the first securable platform) counts towards the quota. There are a total of six civilians that can be saved in the chapter.
Feat received after rescuing the fifth civilian.
Rank 2 feat.

Secure platform

In either of the two rooms with soldiers on a raised platform, Aya must kill all of the Twisted before they destroy the platform.
Feat received after leaving the room with the secured platform.
Rank 1 feat.

Chapter 1-3Edit

Escape from Reapers unharmed

Aya must traverse the two zones with Reapers without taking any damage. Furthermore, when the Reapers are in their seraching orb form, them touching Aya and materialising counts as being harmed by them; this is particularly irritating with the second Reaper, which has a tendency to pop up right next to Aya when it's least expected, making it harder to avoid. For the first Reaper, avoiding harm is most easily done by taking the right-hand path when the corridor splits; however, this will deprive the player of the next feat (see below).
Feat received after reaching the safe room after the second Reaper.
Rank 2 feat.

Swift retreat from first Reaper

Aya must take the left-hand path when the corridor splits while fleeing the first Reaper. If she becomes be trapped between the blood walls, the above feat is rendered impossible, as she will be unable to escape until the Reaper touches her; it is, however, possible to "outrun" the walls with well-executed dodge rolls (in particular, repeating two rolls followed by a normal step to avoid the third roll's cooldown), although this may take practice. It is generally easier to enter Liberation just before turning the corner into the left-hand path, then flash-step past the walls. The player should, however, be ready to act fast when Liberation ends, lest the Reaper catch up while Aya is recovering.
Feat received when Aya drops to the lower floor level at the end of the left-hand path.
Rank 2 feat.

Rescue civilian from Reaper

When fleeing the second Reaper, Aya must Overdive into the civilian and take them to the subsequent safe room.
Feat received after reaching the safe room with the civilian.
Rank 2 feat.

Episode 2 (Operation Black Storm)Edit

By achieving at least four feats in this Episode on Hard mode, the "No Evasion Assist" cheat code will be unlocked.

Chapter 2-1Edit

Use Overdive Kill frequently

Aya must use Overdive Kill on at least eight enemies duing the chapter.
Feat received after meeting the quota.
Rank 1 feat.

Swiftly ward off Roller

Aya must destroy the Roller in the alleyway very soon after it spawns.
Feat received after defeating the Roller.
Rank 1 feat.

Swiftly ward off Rover

Aya must kill the Rover before Gabrielle arrives.
Feat received after defeating the Rover.
Rank 5 feat.

Chapter 2-2Edit

Preserve Overdive ability

Aya must Overdive into other people as few times as possible during the chapter.
Feat received after defeating the Queen.
Rank 2 feat.

Use satellite cannon

Aya must kill at least ten enemies using the satellite cannon. Note that enemies by the final trio of orbs will respawn indefinitely while the orbs remain, so one can take the time to meet the quota there before entering the Babel.
Feat received after meeting the quota.
Rank 1 feat.

Swift return from inside Babel

Aya must kill the Queen before it enters the vortex phase of the battle.
Feat received after defeating the Queen.
Rank 4 feat.

Chapter 2-3Edit

Clear out all poison fog

Aya must destroy all of the fog-emitting Stinkers in the chapter. Note that after leaving the street with a high concentration of Stinkers, Aya should return immediately to spawn a new set which must also be killed.
Feat received after clearing the Beans and Stinkers on the roof.
Required for the shower FMV on Easy mode.
Rank 1 feat.

Swiftly breach the orb nest

Aya should focus on destroying the orbs before quickly mopping up the surrounding enemies.
Feat received when all enemies in the orb nest are defeated.
Rank 1 feat.

Episode 3 (Operation Red Fog)Edit

By achieving at least three feats in this Episode on Hard mode, the "No Regen" cheat code will be unlocked.
By achieving at least three feats in this Episode on Deadly mode, the "Level Hold" cheat code will be unlocked.

Chapter 3-1Edit

Avoid Rover battle

Aya must evade all of the Detectors in the chapter, thus avoiding them calling the Rovers into the physical plane. This can become particularly tricky after going down the stairs to the rail platform, especially if the player is also attempting the chapter's third feat (see below).
Required for the shower FMV on Normal mode.
Rank 1 feat.

Destroy all Snatchers

Aya must kill every Snatcher in the chapter. This is quite easy, as killing the first group is preferable to trying to outrun them, and killing the second group is compulsory.
Feat received after killing the last Snatcher.
Rank 2 feat.

Recover all supplies

Aya must collect every ammo recharge and box of grenades in the chapter. The one on the railway platform can be a nuisance to players attempting to avoid Detectors for the chapter's first feat (see above). The first box is easily missed; it is in the alcove behind Aya as she approaches the exit of the first zone.
Feat received after collecting the last box of supplies.
Required for the shower FMV on Easy mode.
Rank 1 feat.

Chapter 3-2Edit

No soldiers taken by Snatchers

Aya must prevent any soldiers from being dragged into the Snatchers' spiderweb wormholes. If a soldier is grabbed by a Snatcher, Aya must shoot it to make it drop them.
Feat received after clearing the Snatcher-filled room after the train crashes.
Required for the shower FMV on Hard mode.
Rank 4 feat.

Destroy all orbs

Aya must destroy every orb in the chapter.
Feat received after destroying the last orb.
Rank 1 feat.

Evade infrared traps

Aya must not make contact with the infrared traps in the chapter.
Feat received after leaving the zone filled with infrared traps.
Rank 1 feat.

Episode 4 (Operation Blue Hail)Edit

By achieving at least three feats in this Episode on Hard mode, the "No Info" cheat code will be unlocked.
By achieving at least three feats in this Episode on Deadly mode, the "Critical Illness" cheat code will be unlocked.

Chapter 4-1Edit

Secure barricade

Aya must not allow any of the orange barricades in the chapter to be destroyed.
Feat received when entering the lift.
Required in order to see the shower FMV between Episodes 3 and 4 on Hard mode.
Rank 2 feat.

Tank team survivors unharmed

At the start of the chapter, Aya must defeat the Worm without the three tanks sustaining any damage. This is best done by quickly eliminating the runt spawn with well-placed missiles, then focusing on the giant Worm. All fireballs should be shot out of the air with gunfire, and even more importantly, the greenish watery orbs should be shot to prevent the spawning of fresh runts. This tactic is also important for the next feat (see below).
Feat received when the giant Worm is killed.
Required for the shower FMV on Deadly mode.
Rank 4 feat.

Swiftly breach tower

Aya must destroy the giant Worm as quickly as possible. In particular, the player should endeavour to prevent the spawning of fresh runts by using the tanks' machine guns to shoot the watery orbs spat out by the Worm. This tactic is also helpful for the previous feat (see above). This feat can be a matter of practice and luck more than most other feats, as aiming missiles at the Worm's mouth is not exactly easy due to its tendency to suddenly move its head.
Feat received when the giant Worm is killed.
Required for the shower FMV on Hard mode.
Rank 4 feat.

Chapter 4-2Edit

Reinforcements survived

After the helicopter segment, Aya must kill the two runt spawn on the top floor without the soldiers dying. If a soldier is sucked into the maw of one of the spawn, the only reliable way to save them is to Overdive into them and then enter Liberation.
Feat received when entering the safe room after killing the two runt spawn.
Rank 3 feat.

Secure air supremacy

Aya must destroy at least twenty Spitters on the building exterior.
Feat received after killing the twentieth Spitter.
Required for the shower FMV on Normal mode.
Rank 2 feat.

Assist with retreat

Aya must kill the first runt spawn seen in the helicoptor segment of the chapter. Note that the opportunity to do so is fairly short.
Feat received after killing the runt spawn.
Required for the shower FMV on Easy mode.
Rank 1 feat.

Episode 5 (Operation Scarlet Snow)Edit

By achieving at least five feats in this Episode on Hard mode, the "Critical Disease" cheat code will be unlocked.
By achieving at least five feats in this Episode on Deadly mode, the "Half Ammo" cheat code will be unlocked.

Chapter 5-1Edit

Conserve ammo

In the zone where there are several barricades and orbs, with Beans, Wads and Rollers, Aya should quickly destroy the orbs before turning her attention to the Twisted. This "conserves ammo" by preventing the arrival of additional Twisted.
Feat received after leaving the zone.
Rank 2 feat.

Sustain reinforcements

Aya must not allow any of the soldiers in the chapter to die.
Feat received after reaching the safe room at the end of the chapter.
Rank 3 feat.

Destroy all orbs

Aya must destroy all of the orbs in the chapter. This should follow by default if the chapter's first feat is accomplished (see above).
Feat received after reaching the safe room at the end of the chapter.
Rank 1 feat.

Chapter 5-2Edit

No allies turned into Twisted

Aya must kill the Mudflaps before they can turn any soldiers into Slackers, and must do so with an Overdive Kill so that they cannot possess a soldier to regenerate.
Feat received when leaving the zone after killing the second Mudflap.
Rank 3 feat.

Act fast in first Mudflap battle

Aya should immediately destroy the three orbs near the first Mudflap, before any Twisted can spawn from them.
Feat received when leaving the zone after defeating the first Mudflap.
Rank 1 feat.

No backup on second Mudflap

Aya must not allow any additional soldiers to arrive when fighting the second Mudflap. The most reliable way to do this is to simply avoid destroying any of the orbs in the zone, although this does mean forfeiting the supplies behind them. Since the soldiers will shoot at the orbs once the Snatchers are defeated, the player should Overdive into each soldier and move them to the entrance, where they cannot target the orbs.
Feat received after leaving the zone.
Rank 3 feat.
