To pursue Lacra in The Blood of Dawnwalker, keep her alive and allied with Coen, continue her personal quests, and reach The Night of Horrors. The mandrake sequence there opens the key romantic opportunity, but it does not force intimacy: following Lacra, accepting her drink, and agreeing to the kiss are separate choices. This guide names quest milestones and scene outcomes.
How Lacra’s romance route works
PC Gamer identifies Lacra as one of three romanceable characters and reports that Coen can pursue all three rather than selecting an exclusive partner. The route is tied to progressing Lacra’s personal questline, not to a single early dialogue choice. [PC Gamer’s romance guide]

Progress through Lacra’s quests
Keep Lacra alive and allied
Do not take a branch that kills Lacra. An independent walkthrough says her death prevents continuing her personal story and romance route. [Independent Lacra walkthrough]
#1 Best Overall
- Day 1 Edition includes the Base Game Disc, Steelbook, and World Map.
- Make The Story Your Own - Experience and shape the plot the way you want. Embark on the quest to save your family, or swear revenge on your sire and destroy everyone standing in your way. Discover ancient secrets lurking in the valley. Rush in head first or risk taking time to prepare. Go alone or search for friends and forge unlikely alliances.
- Day And Night - Experience two different gameplay loops, offering distinct abilities to choose from, mysteries to uncover, and varying ways to achieve your goals. Experiment with different approaches and discover how the world reacts to your actions.
- Every Action Matters - Every action - and inaction - shapes the world around you. Your family’s days are numbered, and every time you take on a quest, time moves forward, compelling you closer to the end. Choose carefully whom to help and whom to leave behind. You will not have time for everyone. The world waits for no one. And neither does the villain.
Complete the route milestones
PC Gamer names Hive and Seek, Our Rotten Roots, and The Night of Horrors as milestones in Lacra’s route. In Hive and Seek, the guide reports that responding “Now you’re just showing off” and then “Quite so” adds flirtation. It also says the Kobold choice does not affect the romance.

Handle the memory dispute with care
The independent walkthrough says respecting Lacra’s warning about her private memory avoids an argument. If Coen enters the memory anyway, apologizing can repair her attitude; showing interest during a later swamp conversation is described as another way to qualify for the later invitation. Because the game’s hidden checks are not officially documented, treat these as guide-reported recovery options rather than guaranteed rules. [Independent Lacra walkthrough]
Rank #2
Reach the mandrake scene in The Night of Horrors
After the search for Isbrand, return to Lacra’s personal quest. The independent walkthrough describes following the quest through the swamp to Kallias’s crypt, where Coen encounters the mandrake decision. The game’s time system makes optional relationship activities compete with other quests, so keep track of access to Lacra’s questline as you schedule your progression. [Independent Lacra walkthrough]
Choose each intimacy branch separately
The mandrake is not a one-button commitment to romance. The walkthrough distinguishes four decisions in sequence:
Rank #3
- NEW GAME MODE: Expand your Blood Rage experience with the Gods of Asgard Expansion, introducing an entirely new game mode that brings the mythical deities of Norse legend into the fray.
- POWERFUL DEITIES: Embrace the might of 6 awe-inspiring Norse gods, each represented by a highly detailed figure and a unique set of cards to aid or hinder the various clans.
- STRATEGIC INFLUENCE: These powerful deities will impact your strategies, offering opportunities for alliance or rivalry as their whims dictate.
- IMMERSIVE DETAIL: Experience the rich world of Norse mythology with intricately designed figures that bring these legendary gods to life on your tabletop.
- ENHANCED BATTLE: Elevate your battles with the influence of the gods, adding layers of complexity and strategy to your quests for ultimate glory.
- Accept or refuse the mandrake. Accepting opens later choices; it does not by itself commit Coen to intimacy.
- Follow Lacra or leave. Following continues the scene.
- Drink or refuse the offered drink. Refusing can end the evening without the intimate scene.
- Agree to the kiss or decline. Declining can also end the evening without the intimate scene.
Those branch outcomes are reported by the independent walkthrough; the developer has not published a Lacra-specific list of romance flags. [Independent Lacra walkthrough]
Quick Recap
Rank #4
- New Dark Souls: The Board Game adventures await in the Explorers expansion
- New enemies, new encounter cards utilising those enemies, and new treasure cards for characters to discover along their adventures
- Components for one new mini boss encounter and one new main boss encounter further enhance players’ options and provide fresh challenges.
- The Explorers expansion also includes 18 terrain miniatures to replace all of the gravestone, barrel, bonfire, and treasure chest tokens from Dark Souls: The Board Game,
- The new Mimic ambush rules mean each chest could turn into a dangerous (but rewarding) foe!
Quick route checklist
- Keep Lacra alive and allied with Coen.
- Continue her personal quests through The Night of Horrors.
- Do not assume the Kobold choice in Hive and Seek blocks the route.
- If you entered Lacra’s private memory, the walkthrough describes an apology and later interest as possible recovery steps.
- At the mandrake scene, decide separately whether to accept, follow Lacra, drink, and kiss.
