Arc Raiders: Where to Find Celeste's Childhood Drawings

Celeste's childhood drawings are a small but potentially hazardous scavenger objective in Arc Raiders. The task sends players across Riven Tides to investigate three separate places: a hotel room in Hotel Panorama Azzuro, a rooftop at the third Customs House, and a final spot at the Quay. The clues are straightforward once the relevant objects are in sight, but the locations are spread out enough that aimless searching can turn a short objective into an extended and dangerous trip.

The important thing to know before setting out is that the assignment does not reveal every step immediately. The search begins at Hotel Panorama Azzuro, where inspecting a map in young Celeste's room opens the remaining two objectives. That means a trip straight to the Customs House or Quay before visiting the hotel room first may not advance the task. Start at the hotel, interact with the correct clue, then move on to the two newly identified drawing locations.

Celeste's childhood drawings: quick route

1. Go to Hotel Panorama Azzuro in Riven Tides.
2. Find room 213 and inspect the map on the cabinet by the window.
3. Travel to the roof of the third Customs House.
4. Inspect the drawing attached to a metal panel in a rooftop corner.
5. Head to the Quay, which may require zooming in closely on the map to see clearly.
6. Locate the two large cable spools and inspect the drawing on a leg of the spool closest to the sea.
7. Extract, then return to Lance to complete the mission and collect the rewards.

Start at young Celeste's room in Hotel Panorama Azzuro

The first stop is Hotel Panorama Azzuro. Your target inside the building is room 213, so there is no need to comb through every floor or open every accessible room. Approach the hotel from the outside and use the external stairs. Once you enter on the second floor, room 213 is the first room you should encounter.

After entering room 213, look toward the window. A cabinet positioned nearby holds the object that matters: a map you can inspect. Interact with it to trigger the next phase of the objective. This is the key progression point for the entire hunt, because it adds the instructions to find one drawing on the roof of the third Customs House and another at the Quay.

It is worth pausing long enough to make sure that both follow-up objectives have appeared before leaving the room. The hotel sequence is not simply flavor or an optional location; it establishes the leads for the other two drawings. Once the map has been examined, the rest of the route becomes a matter of locating two environmental interaction points.

Find the rooftop drawing at the third Customs House

The next destination is the third Customs House. The Customs House buildings form a stack of four on the map. For this objective, the correct building is the second structure when reading that group from north to south. Identifying the proper one saves time, particularly since the goal is not on the ground floor or hidden in an interior room.

Make your way upward until you reach the roof. Once there, search the corners rather than the central rooftop area. The drawing is associated with a metal panel positioned in one corner. When you find the panel, look for the picture that can be examined and interact with it to mark this part of Celeste's childhood-drawings search as complete.

This is a simple interaction, but the roof location can make it easy to overlook if you arrive expecting a more prominent landmark. Focus on the metal panel and check the rooftop perimeter. You are not looking for a separate room, container, or broad search zone. The drawing is the relevant object at that corner panel.

Customs House checklist

• Confirm you are at the second building in the north-to-south stack of four Customs House structures.
• Reach the roof rather than searching the building's lower levels.
• Check a corner for the metal panel.
• Examine the picture on that panel to complete the objective.

Where to find the Quay drawing

The final drawing is located at the Quay. This area can be more awkward to pinpoint than the hotel or Customs House because its map label is less obvious. Zoom in closely on the map if you are having trouble finding it; the Quay is one of the locations that becomes easier to identify at a tighter map scale.

At the Quay, the main environmental markers are two large cable spools. Find the pair, then determine which spool sits nearest to the sea. The last drawing is not placed on top of the spool or in a nearby building. Instead, it is attached to one of the legs of the cable spool closest to the water.

Approach that seaward spool and inspect its supports carefully. Once you see the drawing on one of its legs, interact with it. This finishes the collection portion of the mission. If the prompt does not appear immediately, make sure you are examining the spool nearest the sea rather than its companion, and look around the legs rather than the cable wound around the spool.

Quay checklist

• Zoom in on the map to identify the Quay more easily.
• Locate the pair of oversized cable spools.
• Go to the spool closest to the sea.
• Inspect one of its legs for Celeste's final drawing.

Finish the mission: extract and speak with Lance

Inspecting the drawing at the Quay completes the on-location work, but the mission is not fully finished until you successfully extract. Do not forget this final step after finding the third drawing. Leaving the area and making it back out is necessary before you can turn the assignment in.

After extraction, return to Lance to hand in the completed objective. The stated rewards are Lance's Mixtape, a backpack charm, and three Sterilized Bandages. The charm is the distinctive collectible-style reward for finishing the search, while the bandages provide the additional item payout.

Because the route crosses several points in Riven Tides, efficiency matters. Hotel Panorama Azzuro should always be first because it unlocks the two later instructions. From there, visit the Customs House rooftop and the Quay in whichever order best suits your current position and route. The key is to avoid leaving before every interaction has registered, especially at the Quay, where the drawing's position on the spool leg is easy to miss.

What to remember if you get stuck

If the childhood-drawings objective seems stalled, retrace the chain of interactions in order. First, verify that room 213 at Hotel Panorama Azzuro was visited and that the map beside the window was examined. Second, confirm that the rooftop picture at the third Customs House was inspected at the metal panel. Finally, revisit the two cable spools at the Quay and check the seaward spool's legs closely.

The entire search is built around environmental details rather than large, highly visible quest markers. Room 213, the rooftop metal panel, and the cable-spool leg are the three exact visual references to keep in mind. Once those have all been examined, extract from Riven Tides and visit Lance for the final hand-in.
