Hakkon

Hakkon is the Alpha of the Sub-Guh'Nir, a species of powerful, tentacled creatures found in the subway facilities of Akra. He is a formidable warrior who, despite his intimidating appearance, possesses a childlike innocence and curiosity about the world.

Role in the Story

Hakkon is a recruitable crew member. He is initially encountered as the final boss of the Eradicate the Sub-Guh’Nirs quest.

Recruitment

• Location: Sub-Guh'Nir's Den, Akra Subway Facilities.
• Trigger: You will confront Hakkon (as the Sub-Guh'Nir Alpha) at the end of the "Eradicate the Sub-Guh’Nirs" quest for Galiano.
• Event: After defeating him in combat, you are given a choice: \
  • "Finish it off": You kill Hakkon, and the quest is completed for Galiano. He cannot be recruited. \
  • "Try to communicate with the creature": You spare him. This initiates a dialogue where you learn about his species and their plight. You can then offer him a place on your crew in exchange for him ordering his people to stop attacking. He will agree and join you.

Personality

Hakkon has a very simple and direct personality. He is driven by basic needs and curiosities, such as eating and understanding his purpose. Having lived his entire life underground, he is naive about the galaxy and often asks blunt and childlike questions, most notably asking if he can impregnate various crew members, as he is trying to understand reproduction.

Despite his naivety, he is a powerful Alpha and commands the respect of his kin. He is fiercely loyal to the player for sparing his life and helping his people. He is also shown to have a humorous side, particularly in his interactions on Erebus-1 where he finds the radiation-filled "spicy wind" to be tasty.

Combat Information

As the Alpha of his species, Hakkon is an incredibly powerful combatant.

• As an Enemy: The Sub-Guh'Nir Alpha boss fight is a difficult encounter. He has high health and devastating melee attacks.
• As an Ally: If recruited, Hakkon is one of the strongest members of the crew. He is a frontline fighter who excels at dealing and absorbing massive amounts of physical damage. He uses his powerful claws and tentacles in combat.

Fun Scenes & Interactions

• Naming Hakkon: When you introduce him to Galiano, Galiano will suggest several "mighty sounding" names for him. The alpha will choose the name Hakkon.
• Erebus-1 Expedition: If you take Hakkon with you to the irradiated planet of Erebus-1, he will have unique dialogue. He is immune to the radiation, which he calls "spicy wind," and will attempt to eat the radioactive rocks, which he finds "tasty." You will have to stop him from eating the hazardous materials.
