They were formed when one of the gods, jealous of his peers, took their creations and twisted them into something bizarre and unnatural and then set them free to wreak havoc on the land.

They are hostile on sight to all other intelligent life. The Dredge are the colossal, armor clad ancestral enemies of the Varls since the beginning. Starting this game without an imported save is probably how to get this achievement without issues.Lore Unlike the Humans and the Varls, the Dredge are a completely different race.

This game and part 2 do have some buggy achievements where the game will grant the renown bonus for getting the achievement but it won't actually unlock for a few hours, or upon restarting the game, or sometimes having to do it twice, but not with this one. I had already unlocked the Sole Survivor achievement and prior to writing this post I went for the ending (to be thorough) where Eyvind goes nuts and kills absolutely everyone and that didn't work either so I'm really at a loss here. This is probably the most common way of doing this achievement too which was now really frustrating me. Apostate and Castaway were both alive on this save file so I proceeded to lose the battle against Bolverk which killed them, and went for the good ending - still nothing. At that point I figured it was possible that a save file with Apostate dead from the previous game was not registering him as being dead in this one, so I loaded a different save slot back to Chapter 20, and did not let Bastion in. So I loaded back to the Dredge Godstone and this time had the timer on Arberrang expire and completed the game with the Ravens alive - except for Apostate and Castaway of course - still nada. I thought maybe the dredge baby was voiding this somehow? Even though I couldn't find anything on any forum suggesting this. I went for the good ending and had Iver convince Eyvind to sacrifice Juno and Arberrang survived. This seemed like the most sure fire way to go about this but it did not pop. The imported save file I used had Apostate killed in part 2 by Bolverk, Iver killed Castaway, and I did not open the gates for Bastion. The first time going for it was during my 'Scrape By' run though.

I posted this on another forum and no luck. Played this game a year ago but not getting this achievement really irked me as it's the only one I'm missing for all 3 games.
