When it comes to new, highly engaging open-world dark fantasy action RPGs in 2026, only a few games come close to The Blood of Dawnwalker. Many players favor this game because of how challenging it is to play. The game offers a tense experience by increasing enemy pressure while lowering the options for error. The Lunar Game quest is one of the most engaging and challenging parts of the game. This quest is challenging because it forces you to navigate a dangerous maze while stripping you off your gear. While beating Bakir, many Dawnwalker players report experiencing a crash as they try to drain the boss’s blood.
The Problem:
One highlight of The Blood of Dawnwalker is that it has many terrible characters. One of these annoying people is Bakir, a huge vampire popularly known for torturing humans.
Bakir is the enemy you’ll be challenging when you get to Level 30. Surviving the Lunar Games or beating Bakir requires having the right skills. However, even with the right skills, many players are still reporting an annoying issue that comes with fighting this beast. The affected players said they could beat Bakir. Where the issue lies, however, is when they try to drain Bakir blood—here, many Dawnwalker players report facing a crash issue. As such, the game forces them to repeat the fight with Bakir.
When describing the issue, a Redditor annoyingly said the fight with Bakir is the worst in the game. Another PlayStation 5 player said:
“I like the idea of being stripped bare and seeing how well you have the mechanics down. Tedious but I got through it. I had just drained Bakir when… game crashed. Reloaded and I’m at the beginning of the fight with the 5 he sends out just before you fight him. So tedious I had to put it down for a little bit.”
Looking at different reports (1, 2, 3), it seems this issue affects players on both PlayStation 5 and Xbox. I also noticed that this issue mostly occurs when players drain Bakir or one of the boyars in the game.
How to fix Dawnwalker Bakir crash issue
You have a couple of options when it comes to fixing the Dawnwalker Bakir crash issue. The first workaround, suggested by an affected player, involves using Performance mode and skipping the transition until you reach Anachora. You can apply this workaround by following the steps below:
- Switch to Performance mode before fighting Bakir
- After beating Bakir and draining his blood, continuously press the skip bottom to exit the cutscenes.
- Keep skipping through the transition until you get to Anachora.
With the aforementioned steps, you should be able to get past the Dawnwalker Bakir crash issue. But you need to keep in mind that this workaround doesn’t work for everyone. However, if switching to Performance mode doesn’t work, you can consider using Story difficulty before fighting Bakir. Many players reported using this workaround to bypass the crash.
