The Blood of Dawnwalker Romance Options & Characters
Content updated:
PC Gamer’s playthrough guide identifies three romance options: Anca, Lacra and Crake (also called Marat). Below are their quest entry points and later checkpoints, alongside official character portraits. Quest names are mild spoilers; ending outcomes are not included.
The official bulletin provides the character backgrounds below. For playable romance routes, we use the separately attributed PC Gamer walkthrough rather than treating a portrait as proof of a romance. Bandai Namco: Forging Connections.
Anca: familiarity and knowledge
Anca taught Coen to read and has been a familiar guide in his life. The publisher hints that she carries a secret, without giving a romance trigger or an ending condition.
Lacra: an alliance with questions
Lacra’s private agenda is driven by vengeance. Cooperation does not necessarily mean identical priorities.
Lacra’s history and motives matter to her character — Bandai Namco / Rebel Wolves.
Crake / Marat: trust amid rebellion
Marat leads a rebellion against the vrakhiri. His caution about betrayal makes trust important to his relationship with Coen. Bandai Namco: Forging Connections.
The publisher introduces the rebellion leader as Marat — Bandai Namco / Rebel Wolves.

Follow the linked walkthrough for dialogue choices and prerequisites if your current quest is not listed here. Its authors distinguish romance access from the happiest outcome; completing a romance does not guarantee a particular ending.
Read what a character wants. Where an action shows a time cost, weigh it against other priorities. Keep separate saves before major commitments if you want to compare your own outcomes.
