The achievement “From the Bottom of My Heart” (English: “Leave No One Behind”) has only been achieved by 3% of players of Baldur’s Gate 3 on Steam. Why you should secure this achievement and how to do it, you can find out on MeinMMO.
In Baldur’s Gate 3, there are numerous ways to tackle the main story and side quests. Even in Act 1, you will encounter important key moments with NPCs that influence the entire continuing story.
The group of NPC tieflings also plays an important role in the course of the game. To achieve the achievement “From the Bottom of My Heart” (English: “Leave No One Behind”), you must save all the tieflings that are important to the storyline.
The process makes the achievement quite challenging as it involves many steps to consider. This begins in Act 1 and extends until the third and final Act.
Spoiler warning: This article discusses an ending of Baldur’s Gate 3 and contains spoilers for all acts regarding the quests involving the tieflings.
In the video, you will find tips on useful features that make your life in Baldur’s Gate 3 easier:
How to unlock the achievement:
To earn the achievement, all tieflings who have an important role must be saved. For some, you must remove enemies that threaten them, and for others, you must convince the enemies or the tieflings of something.
Your consciousness will also demand that Isobel be killed. Resist the urge with dice rolls to prevent all the tieflings in the tavern “At the Last Light” from dying.
Act 1:
- convince Rolan to stay with the tieflings
- The tiefling who threatens Sazza in the cage of the druid grove must not shoot her – he could die.
- Rescue the boy named Micron from the harpies on the beach. You will find him if you go down through the rear of the druid grove towards the sea.
- Save Arabella from the druids by convincing Khaga not to feed her to her snake.
- Once you climb up after the first battle in front of the druid grove, you will find Nadira who is being attacked by a last goblin. Kill the goblin and save Nadira.
All of this must be completed, before you protect the druid grove from the attack by Minthara.
- Do not join Minthara in the druid grove! She has allied with the goblins and wants to kill the tieflings in the druid grove.
- If you want to have Minthara in her group, say in another run of Baldur’s Gate 3, you must fight on the side of the goblins. Alternatively, you can steal an item and cause a conflict, which will cause the druids and refugees to kill each other.
- No tiefling may die in combat
Act 2:
- In a conversation with Rolan in the tavern “At the Last Light,” you learn that his siblings have been captured. He will search for them on his own. After the first visit, go directly to the marked spot to save him from the shadows, as he will otherwise be dead.
- Prevent Isobel from being captured during the attack in the tavern, as this will break her protective barrier and everyone in the refuge will die.
- Tip: I used a scroll to send Kethric Thorm to another dimension. This simplifies the fight immensely.
- In a conversation with the tiefling children, you learn that Mol has been kidnapped.
- Help Arabella find her parents. Arabella is near the house of healing; her parents are dead in the house. Tell her about it, and talk to her again a day later.
- Save Bex’s husband. You find Bex at the edge of the refuge, where you start the quest.
- Rescue the tieflings from the moonlight tower in the basement.
Complete all points, before you proceed to the mind flayer colony and begin the fight with Kethric Thorm.
- In the mind flayer colony, you will find Zevlor in a mind flayer capsule. Free him and ensure that he survives the fight.
Act 3:
- Talk to Danis and Bex in the tiefling refugee camp in Rivington, the starting area of Act 3, to complete the quest “Save the Tieflings.”
- If you choose not to give Lorroacan the Night Song, Rolan must not die in the subsequent fight.
- Speak with Mol in the Thieves’ Guild in the city’s underground. You can get there through the sewers.
Only after finishing the game will the achievement “From the Bottom of My Heart” / “Leave No One Behind” pop up. According to Steam, only 2.9% of players have received it so far.
Why is the achievement worth it? The initial hours in Baldur’s Gate 3 and the first encounters with the tieflings create a sense of responsibility for players not to leave them behind – at least that was the case for me. As a player, you encounter individual tieflings here and there, who simply live their lives, go about their daily routines, and form relationships.
This repeatedly brings little moments of achievement. As a player, you have helped ensure that this small group of good
tieflings continues to exist. Additionally, the tiefling quest line contributes to the overall story of the role-playing game.
Thus, the achievement serves as a nice reminder of the impact players have on the story in Baldur’s Gate 3. Even seemingly small decisions can have far-reaching consequences for individual NPCs or entire groups and can significantly change the course of the game.
And that is something that makes Baldur’s Gate 3 so special. At the Golden Joystick Awards, the game won so many awards that the head could hardly carry them:
