Crake complete questline
Evidence: The quest spine and ending requirements are cross-checked against the current site walkthrough, PowerPyx's Firebrand/Manumit pages, and PC Gamer's romance coverage.
Quest order
The Firebrand → Under Watchful Eyes → Shadows in the Woods → Where Loyalty Lies → What Hunts the Night → What Moves the Dead → Who Pulls the Strings → Distant Shadows → A Closer Look → Rise at Dawn.
Route checklist
- Start The Firebrand in Briar Sloughs after Smoke and Ashes; keep Mert alive.
- Complete Under Watchful Eyes, then rescue Sara in Shadows in the Woods before its time-sensitive objective expires.
- Reach Notorious (Infamy IV) for Where Loyalty Lies and enter the Manumit hideout.
- Keep saves before optional Distant Shadows/A Closer Look content and before Rise at Dawn.
- Choose Crake at the finale for The Knyazmaker.
Use the journal for day/night icons and segment costs. Crake's route can run in parallel with Anca and Lacra, but each commitment should have its own save.
