## Key points

- Guide details how to romance Anca, Lacra and Crake in Dawnwalker
- Wrong choices or quest order can permanently block a romance
- Anca can be accidentally killed if approached in vampire form at low health

## Summary

This Polygon guide explains how to romance the three companions available in the vampire RPG The Blood of Dawnwalker — Anca, Lacra and Crake (also known as Marat) — and warns that choosing the wrong dialogue or tackling quests out of sequence can accidentally lock players out of a romance. All three romances can be pursued within a single playthrough in any order, and there is little risk of missing any of them entirely unless players rush through to finish the game early, though certain missteps can permanently close off a specific romance path.

Anca, met during the prologue, poses the highest stakes: approaching her in vampire form while at very low health will kill her outright, permanently ending both the romance and her questline, so care is needed once that transformation is available. Lacra, a vampire found in Svartrau City via the "A Friend Like This" quest, carries her own point of no return — after "Our Rotten Roots," players must complete "The Night of Horrors" before "Midnight Reckoning" or lose the chance to romance her, and must then pick specific dialogue at its conclusion. Crake's romance requires more groundwork, beginning with "The Firebrand" and "Shadows in the Woods," reached by inspecting Vlad's house in Laslea Glen after the prologue; the guide sets out the precise quest order and dialogue choices needed to reach each character's concluding romance scene.
