Coen is certainly going through it, but Blood of Dawnwalker offers a smidge of succor by not making him face the onslaught of horrors alone. You've got three potential romance options for him—one of which seems more 'canonical' than the rest—and the vampy RPG doesn't make you choose just one. When it comes to games like this, I love to kiss and tell. So here are all three of your options for love in a breezy Blood of Dawnwalker romance guide.
Spoiler warning: While we keep details as minimal as possible, this guide follows all three romance plots through the end of the game. That includes details on how to ensure your lover shows up in the epilogue, so keep that in mind before you go skimming through the text.
The Blood of Dawnwalker has three romanceable characters: Anca, Lacra, and Crake. Coen isn't limited to just one partner either, so don't fret over fumbling your shot. RPG veterans won't find much out of the ordinary when it comes to wooing your fantasy lover, but here's the gist of how romance works in Blood of Dawnwalker:
Spoiler warning: It's worth highlighting that one romance is clearly favored as something long-term for Coen. I'll highlight which character gets additional screen time with minimal spoilers in the details below, but it's worth noting if you only make time to romance one option.
Anca is Laslea's friendly local witch and a lifeline for people in need of medieval medical attention. The Blood of Dawnwalker prologue introduces you to her almost immediately through the main story by tasking Coen with retrieving medicine for his mum. Anca grows just the herb she needs (plus a whole lot else), and if you've got time to spare, Coen can flirt a little with her on day zero.
I'll lay out the path to romancing her below. Not all of these dialogue options are necessary for the romance, but they include flirting and confessions, so I'll include them below each step:
Note: While other romanceable characters can appear in the epilogue, Anca is the one who will always appear, and who gets the most screentime. She's kind of framed as the canon romance, while Crake and Lacra are more one-night stands.
Crake (or Marat) is the mortal rebel leading the Manumits against the Vrakhiri Court lording over Vale Sangora. He's well aware his adversaries wield otherworldly powers, so he (understandably) has trust issues. Win him over by demonstrating just how far you're willing to go to rise against Brencis, and Crake may show you his vulnerable side. His romance is very simple to achieve:
