Are you looking for Lacra in The Blood of Dawnwalker? This fiendish vrakhiri–a potentially romanceable character at that–has been stalking her prey all over Vale Sangora. If you know the right people to ask, you might just learn of her whereabouts.
A Friend Like This – Where to find Lacra in Svartrau City
The quest where you find Lacra in The Blood of Dawnwalker is called A Friend Like This. It’s not available right from the get-go. Instead, you have to put in a bit of effort by heading to Svartrau City.
There, you’ll meet a benign vrakhiri named Vicho, who wants your help in solving a murder. You can learn about the details in our A Study in Crimson guide. After killing Doctor Simeon, Vicho will mention another vampire that’s roaming around the capital.

From the streets to the rooftops
If you check the journal entry for A Friend Like This, you’ll see that there are three spots in the northern part of the city that you need to check. Walk along the streets near the city’s gates and activate Focus Mode. You’ll see glowing objects, such as blood spatters, destroyed barrels, and fallen tiles.
Keep following your lead until you spot roof tiles that have been damaged. If it’s nighttime/you’re in vampire form, simply Shadowstep/Planeshift onto the roof. Traverse the buildings, all while using your Focus ability to search for more tiles. Eventually, you’ll reach a small house in a walled-off section of the city.

Lacra boss fight
Your first meeting with Lacra in The Blood of Dawnwalker is actually a boss battle. Once you step inside the building, you’ll have a short conversation with Lacra, before she turns hostile. Be careful when fighting her since she has quick strikes with her claws. She can also transform into a wolf, leaping at you for a deadly bite.
Note: If you attempt to use Voracious Bite on Lacra, she’ll just elbow you in the face. You have to use other vampiric healing methods to stay alive.
Lacra will shred you with her sharp claws.
The uriashi interrogation
After the bout, talk to Lacra once more until she addresses the uriashi in the room. You can spare the poor fella if you’d like:
“Gladly, but we’ll actually talk.”
“What happened? Tell me your side of the story.”
“You have my word.”
“I promise.”
“You’re not killing him.”
Talk to Lacra for the next part of her quest arc.
This concludes The Blood of Dawnwalker A Friend Like This quest. After this part, you’ll be able to travel to the hidden uriash village to the southwest. We discuss it in our Song of the Mountain guide. Oh, and don’t forget that Coen can romance Lacra as well.
