What is The Blood of Dawnwalker?
The Blood of Dawnwalker is a single-player open-world dark fantasy action RPG from Rebel Wolves, set in 14th-century Europe. You play as Coen, a Dawnwalker who lives as a human by day and a vampire by night.
Its narrative sandbox turns time into a resource: hourglass-marked actions advance the story clock, while day and night unlock different abilities, routes, risks, and outcomes. This wiki focuses on practical quest planning, combat mastery, builds, maps, and spoiler-aware progression.

Questions players ask first
Answers compiled from official game information and published walkthroughs. See our sources and editorial notes below. Sources and editorial notes
No. Exploration, combat, looting, and conversation do not move the calendar. Only marked narrative actions spend time, and the hourglass on a choice shows how many of the eight day or night segments you will pay before you commit.
By day Coen is human: directional swordplay, stealth, and hexes such as Burning Blood, powered by Activation Charges. By night he is a vampire with claws, Shadowstep, Planeshift, and Clawride, plus blood hunger. Sunlight does not burn a Dawnwalker.
Blood hunger builds while Coen is in vampire form. Feed on animals or enemies. If hunger is ignored, he can lose control and kill the nearest human, including quest givers. Plan nighttime routes with a feeding option in reach.
PowerPyx lists seven: four main doors after max Infamy (Turncoat, Folk Hero, Patricide, Knyazmaker), two early exits (A Hero They Deserve, Together Forever), and a no-trophy fail if the 30 days close. Keep a manual save before A Deal with the Devil. Month dialogue mostly does not pick the ending. The last quest does.PowerPyx
Three confirmed: Anca, Lacra, and Crake. They do not lock each other. Anca can die if hungry vampire-form Coen talks to her. Lacra's kiss is Night of Horrors; Crake's is on the Manumit chain. Their last jobs are ending doors, not errands.
No. This is an independent fan-made community wiki. It is not affiliated with Rebel Wolves or Bandai Namco Entertainment. Play the game on Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox, and use the official Discord, YouTube, and Community Village for studio channels.
As of Sep 4, 2026, official storefronts and community channels have not published a player-facing redeem-code system. We will not invent codes. If Bandai Namco or Rebel Wolves release any, they will be listed on the codes page with a verification date.
