Currentlythere are mixed reports. There are a few Reddit threads tracking anecdotal reports of when it does/doesn't trigger--here's one I've been using--which mostly agree on major points and bring up a few that may or may not count.

Since some people report the achievement not triggering when tieflings not on the list die, there is a nonzero chance of a bug having been present at some point; there are also a few moments of chaos where it's easy to miss a single refugee fatality.


The tiefling refugees pop up in all three acts, and most of them also have either a quest or a conversation in each act that requires player follow-up. The actual saving generally occurs in Acts 1 and 2, but it looks like you have to tie up all loose ends by finding and speaking with each group of the survivors in Act 3 to properly trigger the achievement.


In Act 2, no refugee tieflings can die in the raid on Last Light. No tiefling prisoners can die in the escape from Moonrise Towers prison level--some reports claim that the prison break must occur the same 'day' you discover it (before you long rest), others simply say it must occur before the Shadowfell cutoff of all unfinished business.


The tiefling by the makeshift prison threatening a caged goblin with a crossbow. She needs to be talked out of killing the goblin in revenge for her brother's death; if she is not, she seeks further vengeance outside the Grove and ends up dead. She does not reappear in later Acts.


Act 2, you can find her in Reithwin in the Shadow-Cursed Lands, looking for her parents, who have not survived. Tell her what happened and send her to your camp. She will be upset, and after discussing with Withers, will depart in a calmer state of mind.


Act 2, you have to speak with Rolan in Last Light to get the quest to find his kidnapped siblings in the Moonrise Towers jail. Then, you have to find and save Rolan in the Shadow-Cursed Lands in a proximity-based encounter with shadows.


If he survived until the endgame, the player has access to his Hellrider platoon in the climax of Act 3 and can call them as allies in the fight up to the Netherbrain. Zevlor appears with his platoon and can be killed if called in battle, so he must survive whichever fight you use him in.


The following tieflings have received mixed reports as to whether or not they count; some reports claim they did and others say the achievement still triggered even without interacting with them at all:


(Notably, mixed reports here are frequently reports where the achievement triggered despite not being aware of the character's existence at all. Since the initial encounter for her seems to be on a proximity-based trigger, not getting close enough to trigger the encounter in the first place may count as 'saving her life'. This is not confirmed.)


I can confirm that at least the Hellriders DO count. I summoned them, they died, beat the game, no trophy. Saw a few threads saying they counted, so I loaded a save from right before the last battle, didn't summon them, and the trophy popped.


Ad Bex and Danis: they do show up in Last Light inn, you need to walk around on the edge of the water to find Bex there. After you free Danis from Moonrise prison, they both will be at the same spot (down by the river) for a quest-closing cutscene and dialogue


String of Pearls were one of the very first plants I got when starting my plant parenthood journey / addiction. What's not to love about those cute round green peas? They make you happy just looking at them. Like something out of Dr Suess. However String of Pearls was also one of the first and few I've managed to kill. Not so happy after that.




With one dead, and one down to a single, sad strand, balding and bare at the base, I almost gave up. But motivated by everyone else's photos of lush, long strings of plump pearls, I changed almost everything, and tried again.




And wow. Success! Easy peasy (now I know what to do - and not to do). I give String of Pearls a care rating of 1 out of 5. Yes. Really. That easy. Here's what I learned so yours don't end up with the same fate as my first.




Speaking of, below is one of my many String of Pearls today. Don't give up if yours are down to one sad strand like mine was. This girl below is my Variegated String of Pearls who was in the same state not long ago, and look at her now! Talk about major glow up. One of her all-green pea buddies is even flowering right now (which smell delicious).








Let's start at the bottom. Soil is super important for these vining peas. Okay, they aren't peas, they're succulents. But a happy String of Pearls should be plump and almost completely round, like a pea. More about what the shape of your Pearls is telling you at the end in the String of Pearls Problem Solving section.




Although we're used to seeing them vining at home, in their natural habitat in the deserts of East Africa, they are actually ground cover. If your SOP is really happy, you'll get delicate, miniature dandelion-like flowers too, which smell like a mix of vanilla and cinnamon. Delicious. The flowers can last a good month or so too. One of mine is flowering right now (in the middle of winter).




Being a desert-dwelling, ground-cover plant, you've probably clicked now why a free-draining, light soil is so important. String of Pearls definitely don't like wet feet. Grab a bag of succulent mix or a fine soil-free aroid mix - I use the Bio Leaf Soil-free Fine Blend for mine - or you can DIY your own mix.






Those pretty pearls are prone to root rot, so as well as light, free-draining soil, make sure the pot they're in has good drainage ideally multiple drainage holes so water doesn't pool and collect at the bottom. Terracotta is so-so for these guys also to keep things dry (I find it keeps the mix too dry at my place, but it depends on your conditions). Mine are all in clear plastic nursery pots and thriving, but terracotta's a goody for over-waterers or for soil-based substrates. Pearls have a shallow root system too, so a shallow wide pot is great for them (and looks fantastic), combined with a finer grade of substrate.








A common issue to watch out for, that can cause Pearls to struggle and slowly turn bald at the base, is when your soil level is too low, causing your pearls to be down below the edge of the pot.




The crown of your Pearls should be potted high enough so they're the same level as the pot edge. Think falling and spilling over the edge. They shouldn't have to climb up and over. Too low down and light might not reach the crown, plus as your Pearls thicken up at the top, air flow reduces if they are down below the edge of the pot, both the reduced light and air flow can lead to the stems rotting and balding at the soil level.




Rather than fully repot though, you can carefully tip your pearls upside-down, soil and all, out onto your palm or a towel, add extra potting mix to the bottom of the pot, and carefully tip the pearls back in, now sitting higher. Don't add more soil to the top. The roots are shallow and instead of more airflow you'll smother the stems.




The appeal of String of Pearls for many are their long strings of unusual pea-shaped leaves. Look closely and you'll see little clear 'window' in each pea. That's because being round is a clever design when you live in a desert. Minimum surface area outside reduces water loss due to sun and wind, and gives you maximum water storage inside.






Only that causes a problem. Minimal surface area also reduces those wee pea's ability to photosynthesize. And that's where the 'window' comes in. See the thin dark stripe running down each pea below? That 'window' lets sunlight in to enter the leaf so it can get enough light, even when partially shaded, growing under a rock, in the desert, without losing precious water. Speaking of water...








Just because SOP are a succulent, doesn't mean no water. Not at all! Where my gang-of-peas hang out now, they need watering about weekly in warmer months, and about every 3 weeks in winter. In fact compared to other succulents in my collection, my pearls have a higher than normal requirement for water. BUT that depends on all other conditions being right.




Provide the right sunlight conditions, then aim for lightly-moist in summer, and borderline dry in winter. Overwatering is a big no no for String of Pearls. In in doubt, best to wait, not water. They handle being too dry far better than too wet.




When you do water, give your Pearls a really good drench until water runs out the bottom, then let it fully drip dry. No sitting in water. Put down that spray mister. Definitely don't 'water lightly'. More about food coming up, but do feed your Pearls when you water too.






My pearls need watering every week to fortnight on average, but that doesn't mean yours do. Water to match your own conditions. Water when the soil is dry, sure, but don't parch your poor pearls and leave them dry too long or you may end up with shriveled wrinkly peas!




If your pearls are super healthy, they are probably covering the top of the soil, making it difficult to stick a finger in to check the soil. If in doubt, lift the pot and check the weight compared to normal, or just get yourself a colour-changing Sustee, or Crew Soil Sensor, to pop down into the substrate and check for you.




If your Pearls are shriveled, wrinkly and dry this is normally due to a watering issue. They're thirsty! However if they are shriveled and soft, squishy or mushy, that's overwatering. Keep in mind younger Pearls tend to be thirstier than established plants.
