In The Blood of Dawnwalker, players can pursue a romantic relationship with Crake, the leader of the anti-vrakhiri rebel group known as the Manumits. This romance becomes available after reaching Infamy Level 4, a status referred to as 'Notorious,' which unlocks the quest 'Where Loyalty Lies.' Completing this quest allows players to join the Manumits, initiating the opportunity to romance Crake.
The path to romancing Crake involves successfully completing all Manumits-related quests that follow 'Where Loyalty Lies.' Throughout these quests, players should select any flirtatious or romantic dialogue options that become available when speaking with Crake.
Quest Dialogue and Choices
During the 'What Hunts the Night' quest, players can choose any dialogue options but should ensure they comfort Crake regarding Sara's fate rather than assigning blame. In 'What Moves the Dead,' the objective is to escort Crake out of the ruins and back to the hideout, then assist him with his injuries. For 'Who Pulls the Strings,' players should inquire about Crake's preparations. The 'Distant Shadows' quest requires players to proceed undetected and to avoid extended conversation with Ascar, though offering him assistance is optional.
The pivotal quest for the romance is 'A Closer Look.' During this quest, specific dialogue choices are crucial. Players should select: 'May I join you, then?', 'I'm worried about you. What's wrong?', 'I know what this is about.', 'Ascar is your father, isn't he?', 'Why?', and finally, 'Hey. Nothing you can say can change the way I see you.'
Following these precise dialogue choices in 'A Closer Look' will lead to an option to kiss Crake, solidifying the romantic progression. This interaction concludes both the Manumits' questline and the player's romance with their leader.
