friend achievement

[CitadelFinch]

Does anyone know if this achievement requires karma lvl5?
Also, I'm in the chimney and accidently had a pink lizard slept with me for two nights without being friend...(he was chasing the slugcat) but I didn't get the achievement. Do we have to be friends to get the achievement? I thought just sleep for one night is enough.

I think it's a least 3 nights if my memory is correct (it might be 5). If you're not getting any progress showing up when you sleep though, then I would say you probably do need to befriend the lizard first. This achievement does not require any karma, you just need to feed a lizard enough (or save one from a predator) and he'll start following you around.

Oh so you need to sleep with multiple nights with lizard? I thought just one will be okay...thanks!!
It has taken me hours to try befriend a lizard but...I guess I suidicide so many times, that only few lizard spawns at chimney...I tried to save them from vulture, which is a one-time deal, but I always threw the explosive spear at vulture's wings (where it won't drop the lizards), or totally missed...
I made it three times, first lizard bited me after I saved him >:( second just ran away...they are both blue lizard so I guess this type are just unfriendly...Third time I got a pink lizard, it followed me well, but I think there was a glitch that when I hold a spear and facing it, I suddenly died...no bite/throw sound, have no idea what happened. And my friend ate my body after thinking for a while.

Chimney Canopies can be a rather challenging region in general since it has so many lizards and vultures, so somewhere like the Outskirts or Shaded Citadel might be a lot easier to get this achievement. The way I got the achievement was super easy (found by luck) - go to the Shaded Citadel through the entrance from the Industrial Complex. There will be a pink lizard in that region, along with lots of food for the slugcat and lots of lantern mice which can be easily killed and fed to the lizard - there are also no other predators in the area, so you won't need to worry about being eaten. You'll have a lizard friend in no time (fair warning, give the lizard at least 2 or 3 mice before getting too close, they can still be a bit grouchy at first) - good luck :)

Hmm thank you for the suggestion...I might want to try that way.
I just save several other pink lizards from vulture, but all of them followed me nicely only for a while; like we walked together across a screen, if I stand in front of him for 5 secs he'd just take a bite and end our friendship ;-; this game is too cruel...
