What Is Celeste’s Childhood Drawings in ARC Raiders?
Celeste’s Childhood Drawings is a quest added with the Frozen Trail update on October 8, 2026. Despite being about Celeste, it is actually given by Lance — he wants to surprise her with reminders of her childhood to help lift her spirits.
The quest sends you to Riven Tides, not the new Pendola Pass map. You are looking for three things: Celeste’s old hotel room in Hotel Panorama Azzurro, a childhood drawing left on the roof of the third Customs House, and a second drawing painted on a large cable reel at the Quay. None of these are physical items you carry out — each is inspected in place.
This is a clean, low-risk quest. No Safe Pocket needed, no combat requirement, no item to protect. The challenge is simply knowing where each location is, since the drawings themselves are small and easy to miss without knowing exactly what to look for.
Completing this quest unlocks Celeste’s Teenage Rebellion, the next mission in her Frozen Trail storyline. For the full picture of every quest available, see our ARC Raiders complete quest list.
Before You Start – What to Know
- Accept the quest from Lance, not Celeste. It is easy to go looking in the wrong NPC’s menu. Lance holds this quest in Speranza.
- Free Loadout works perfectly. You extract with nothing. Save your gear for something riskier.
- Start at the hotel. Room 213 is the first objective and the one that reveals the two drawing locations. Going to the Customs House or Quay first without visiting the room first will not work — the drawing objectives are locked until you inspect the map inside the room.
- The three locations go west to east. Hotel Panorama Azzurro (west) → third Customs House (center-east) → Quay (far east). Follow that route and you avoid backtracking across the whole map.
- No single-run requirement. Progress saves between raids, so you can split this across multiple sessions if needed.
Celeste’s Childhood Drawings – All Objectives
- Find young Celeste’s room in Hotel Panorama Azzurro
- Search for anything significant in Celeste’s room
- Find the drawing on the roof of the third Customs House
- Find the drawing at the Quay
Step 1 – Find Young Celeste’s Room in Hotel Panorama Azzurro
Deploy into Riven Tides and head to Hotel Panorama Azzurro, the large resort building on the northwestern side of the map. It is one of the biggest POIs on Riven Tides and hard to miss — a sprawling multi-floor hotel overlooking the beach.
Enter the hotel and go to the second floor. Once there, make your way to the southeastern wing of the building. You are looking for Room 213. The room number is marked on the door — scan the hallway and it should be straightforward to locate.
Enter Room 213. This is Celeste’s childhood room. Stepping inside updates the first objective automatically.
Step 2 – Search for Anything Significant in Celeste’s Room
Inside Room 213, look at the back wall — there is a map pinned to it. Interact with the map to search it.
This is the key step. The moment you inspect the map, two new objectives unlock: find the drawing on the roof of the third Customs House, and find the drawing at the Quay. Without doing this first, those locations will not appear as objectives on your tracker.
Once the map is inspected, the hotel portion of the quest is complete. Head out and make your way east.
Step 3 – Find the Drawing on the Roof of the Third Customs House
Leave Hotel Panorama Azzurro and travel east toward the Customs House area of Riven Tides. You are looking for the third Customs House specifically — there are multiple in this zone, so check your map and count to the right one.
Ascend to the roof of the third Customs House. Once you reach the top, look around near the edge of the rooftop. You will find the drawing on a wall next to a crate — it is a small, faded piece of art, so look carefully rather than running past it.
Interact with the drawing to register it. The first childhood drawing is now found. One more to go.
The drawing itself depicts a Wasp — one of the ARC machine types. A little window into Celeste’s childhood during ARC-dominated times. For details on facing the Wasp enemy in the field, our Trifecta quest guide touches on dealing with it as part of Shani’s early missions.
Step 4 – Find the Drawing at the Quay
From the Customs House, continue east all the way to the Quay, which sits on the far eastern side of the Riven Tides map, just east of the Stacking Yard.
When you arrive at the Quay platform, look for a large metal cable reel. The drawing is painted directly on the side of it, sitting northeast of the stacks of shipping crates in the area. It is another small, faded piece of artwork — look for the painted surface on the drum-shaped reel rather than scanning for something obviously displayed.
Interact with the drawing to complete the final objective. All four objectives are now done. You do not need to carry anything out — extract from any point on the map and head back to Speranza.
How to Finish and Claim Rewards
Extract from Riven Tides however you prefer — any extraction point works. Back in Speranza, find Lance and speak with him to turn in the quest. Remember it is Lance you are reporting to, not Celeste.
For help with extraction options on Riven Tides, see our extraction guide.
Celeste’s Childhood Drawings – Rewards
Speaking with Lance after completing the quest gives you:
- 1x Lance’s Mixtape Backpack Charm
- 3x Sterilized Bandages
Lance’s Mixtape is a unique cosmetic backpack charm — limited to this questline and a nice collectible for players following the Frozen Trail story. The Sterilized Bandages are a solid consumable for any loadout. Completing this quest also unlocks Celeste’s Teenage Rebellion, the next step in the Celeste questline on Riven Tides.
Tips for Celeste’s Childhood Drawings
- Do Room 213 first, always. The Customs House and Quay drawing objectives are hidden until you inspect the map on Celeste’s wall. Going to the other locations before visiting the room will leave you with no objectives to complete there.
- The drawings are small and easy to miss. Both the Customs House and Quay drawings are faded, painted artwork on surfaces — not glowing quest markers. Look carefully when you arrive at each spot rather than expecting an obvious visual.
- Use the cable reel as your landmark at the Quay. The Quay has a lot of industrial clutter. Lock onto the large drum-shaped cable reel northeast of the shipping crates and check its side.
- Use a Free Loadout. There is no reason to risk your gear here. Nothing to fight, nothing to carry out.
- Stack this with other Riven Tides quests. Since the route goes west to east across the whole map, you can combine this run with other objectives in the same zone and cover everything efficiently in one raid.
- The third Customs House is specifically the third one. The Customs House area has multiple buildings. Open your map and make sure you are heading to the correct one — climbing the wrong roof just costs you time.
