How to Save Every Tiefling Refugee in Baldur’s Gate 3

An achievement guide for “Leave No One Behind.” Arguably the most difficult achievement to obtain (because it requires running a whole campaign again).

Introduction

I have been having an absolute ♥♥♥♥♥ of a time trying to get this “Leave No One Behind” quest. I have ran the game three times now and had it nearly 100% completed achievement-wise (the 2nd time I’ve ever done this so I’m kinda hype) and I couldn’t get this damn achievement. Finally, on my fourth run I was determined to 100% this mofo. I made sure to strictly do everything “right” with the Tieflings, but just in case I was going to document everything because I was ready to throw hands on the forums to get answers. Irregardless, I was able to complete it. I’m actually pretty proud of pulling this off, but I figured I would share my final journey to complete this obnoxious achievement for folks who are interested or are also having difficulties knocking this one out.

You obtain this achievement at the beginning of the credits. Which means you have to try and dig through your entire save history to figure out where you screwed up!

Game set-up (If anyone was curious.)

1. The only companions on took on this play-through were Shadowheart, Lae’zel and Karlach.
2. I ran on “Balanced” difficulty as a custom-origin, high-elf Wizard.
3. I didn’t interact with any other potential companions in Act 1.

Act I

1. Spoke with Rolan, Cal and Lia and persuaded them to stay in the Grove.
2. Saved Arabella from Kagha (and spoke with her parents afterwards — nicely).
3. Saved Mirkon from the harpies and visited Mol to get her thanks.
4. Spoke with Arka and stopped her from killing Sazza — nicely.
5. Spoke with Zevlor and told him I would kill the goblin leaders.
6. Spoke with Larkissa, encouraged they would survive and made the bet they’d make it to Baldur’s Gate.
7. Saved Nadira from the bugbear assassin.
8. Saved everyone at the Goblin hideout and killed every goblin on the map without any friendly casualties.
9. Did NOT reveal Kagha as a shadow druid.
10. Saved Halsin.
11. Took Halsin with me to Act 2 (to save the Shadow-Cursed Lands).

Act II

1. Took the route through Grymforge just to skip the forced creche storyline with Lae’zel.
2. Became allies with Jaheira and spoke with all the Tieflings in Last Light Inn:
   • Bex
   • Dammon (just in case)
   • Cerys
   • Alfira
   • Rolan
   • The kids (Mol, Mattis, Umi, Ide, Mirkon)
3. Activated the “Save the Tieflings” quest.
4. Saved everyone during the kidnapping attempt with Marcus.
5. Saved Rolan from his failed rescue attempt.
6. Met Arabella at the House of Healing and found her parents and told her about it at camp.
7. Saved the Tieflings and Gnomes from the prison and went with them to Last Light Inn.
8. Spoke with all the rescued parties to clear the quests:
   • Bex
   • Cerys
   • Alfira & Lakrissa
   • Rolan, Cal & Lia
   • Barcus & Wulbren
9. Spoke with Arabella again in camp to complete her “Find Arabella’s Parents” quest.
10. Saved Thaniel and merged him with Oliver.
11. Spared the Nightsong.
12. Saved Zevlor.
13. Killed Kethric.
14. Went back to Last Light Inn… Danis, Lakrissa, Cal, Lia, Mirkon were the only ones there. Didn’t say much.
15. At camp spoke with Arabella one more time.

Act III

1. Spoke with every Tiefling I could find in the refugee camp:
   • The kids (Umi & Ide)
   • Zorru
   • Cerys
   • Bex
   • Danis
2. Spoke with Mirkon and Mattis by the donations barn.
3. Killed Arfur and found the suspicious toys in the barn.
4. Camped in Wyrm’s Crossing, found a letter from Arabella.
5. Spoke with Lakrissa in the Elfsong Tavern, then Alfira on the roof of the tavern.
6. Spoke with Silfy in Heapside Strand.
7. Spoke with Mol in the Guildhall.
8. Ran the whole “High Harper” questline with Jaheira because there’s a point where the Zhentarim attack the Guild and I just wanted to be safe and make sure Mol didn’t get hurt.
9. Spoke with Rolan in Sourcerous Sundries and initiated the whole Nightsong thing with Lorroakan.
10. Brought Dame Aylin to Lorroakan and fought him
11. Spoke with Rion (with Jaheira in my party) and asked her to help the refugees.
12. Saved the Guild from the Zhentarim; made sure Mol survived.
13. Spoke with Mol. Didn’t seem to realize they were just attacked or had a concussion or something because she wanted to talk about the same stuff as earlier.
14. Saved Orpheus and he turned into a mind flayer.
15. Did NOT use Zevlor and his Hellriders during the raid up to the Netherbrain.
