There are 12 Bakir Court activities to complete in The Blood of Dawnwalker. They include attacking Bakir’s forces, freeing prisoners, demolishing distilleries, and handling transportation caravans. This task will help you build up some infamy and weaken Brencis and his vassals, which is necessary for achieving your aim of saving your family. Some tasks will also provide you with additional quests, so it is worth completing all of them.
All 12 Bakir Court Activities
The Bakir Court is a series of tasks in Blood of Dawnwalker which will help you raise your reputation and earn the attention of Brencis and his vassals. The completion of these tasks is necessary for reaching your main objective of rescuing your family from the Vrakhir.
While completing tasks from the Bakir Court, you will gradually reduce Brencis’ power and defences. Eventually, you will manage to confront Brencis’ vassals and defeat them in boss fights, giving you an opportunity to meet with Brencis himself and rescue your family.
Note: All Bakir Court activities will take up 3 Time Segments, so plan accordingly if you are running short of time. You don’t need to complete all quests to anger Bakir, and you can check his anger meter in the Court tab after each quest. You can come back for the remaining incomplete quests even after killing Bakir.
