Appears in
The Lunar GameThe Lunar Game is the boss quest for the boyar Bakir, a deadly contest at Lunar Manor that unlocks once his anger is maxed. Smart prep before the maze makes the rivals much easier to handle.- Midnight ReckoningMidnight Reckoning is the last quest in Lacra's questline and the ending path where you storm Greifberg Castle with her. Keep a manual save first, because starting the attack locks you into an ending.
- Our Rotten RootsOur Rotten Roots is the fourth quest in Lacra's questline and takes Coen into Anachora, a realm built from memories. It pays out well, with 1000 XP, a skill point and the Piercing Shriek vampire ability.
Good to know
- He takes part in fights in Our Rotten Roots and Midnight Reckoning.
- His duel comes at the end of The Lunar Game, in his treasure room.
- His kick and punch combos can be parried to stun him.
- Revealing who you really are starts a much harder fight against his whole clan instead of him alone.
- Draining him unlocks Shadowstorm, a night power that slows time around Coen.
- You can still loot his body and his treasure after draining him.
How to beat him
Fight from mid-range. If you stand on top of him, you have no room to sidestep his blood line when he teleports. When swirls of blood appear he vanishes and sends waves at you, so dodge left or right. Around half health he calls blood birds that fly at you one at a time. Wait until each is close, then dodge. He is open for a moment after these attacks, which is your damage window.
Starting the fight
In the treasure room Bakir asks what you want. Guides point to the aggressive sword line to start a one-on-one duel. Choices earlier in The Lunar Game can change the setup, so save before the conversation.
DrainingSpoilerShow
Coen can drain Bakir's blood after the fight. It unlocks Shadowstorm and does not cost you his loot, so most guides call it the better pick.

Brencis, the vampire Knyaz of Vale Sangora, is the final challenge of the story. You can only face him properly once his three Boyars are dealt with, so plan your court quests around him.
