ARC Raiders: Celeste’s Childhood Drawings Walkthrough (Riven Tides)

Lance assigns the Riven Tides quest Celeste’s Childhood Drawings. Added in the Frozen Trail update, it takes you back to the coastal resort map instead of the newer Pendola Pass. The objectives only require inspections, so you leave without a physical item and face little risk, even on a hard map.

Quick answer: Check the map inside room 213 at Hotel Panorama Azzurro. After that, examine a drawing on the third Customs House roof, then one on a Quay cable reel’s support leg. Extract and turn the quest in to Lance.

Before you queue into Riven Tides

Riven Tides is rated 5 of 5 for difficulty and opens after 20 rounds played. ARC and Raider forces press harder here than on newer maps, so expect resistance. All three inspection points sit on this map, arranged roughly west to east, which makes finishing them in a single raid the fastest approach.

You can return using one of five points: Customs Elevator, Hilltop Hatch, Saltswept Hatch, Seaside Elevator, or Weighbridge Hatch. After logging both drawings, head out via the nearest option; there’s no item to carry.

Find Celeste’s room and inspect the map

Hotel Panorama Azzurro is the large resort on the western side of the map. If you have run earlier quests here, it is the same building you cleared before.

Go into the hotel and make your way to its central lobby. Climb the broad staircase to reach the second floor. Keep an eye on the stairs, where explosive rolling ARC drones may patrol.

On the second floor, move to the southeastern wing and follow the door numbers past 205, 206, and 207 until you reach room 213. Step inside to complete the first objective, “Find young Celeste’s room in Hotel Panorama Azzurro.”

Walk toward the far wall with the windows. A map lies flat on a low wooden cabinet table set between the two windows. Hold the “Inspect the Map” prompt to complete “Search for anything significant in Celeste’s Room.” Two drawing objectives then appear on your tracker.

Record both drawings

Drawing on the third Customs House roof

Exit the hotel and travel east to the Customs House complex. Its towers form a row near a rooftop extraction point. Starting at the southern end, choose the third tower; when facing the fronts, it is second from the left. Climb the exterior metal stairs to the roof.

Near the containers at the roof’s rear, find a vertical metal panel coated in rust. Hold Inspect while targeting the little painting on it to register drawing one.

Drawing at the Quay

The Quay sits on the far eastern edge of the map, directly east of the Harbor and the Stacking Yard. The waterside platform is northeast of the stacked shipping containers and just south of the Supply Call Station.

Go out onto the platform and find the row of large, corroded cable reels beside the tall red cargo cranes. Use the reel at the south end—the second in the row. The drawing is on the base’s upright metal support leg on the side facing land, not on the spool or its surface. Hold Inspect there to record drawing two and complete the objectives.

Once both drawings are on your tracker, use any extraction point or Raider hatch to leave. You don’t need to safeguard anything during the exit.

Turn in the quest and confirm completion

After extracting from Riven Tides, return to Lance at his vendor station and turn in the quest. The tracker clears and the reward screen appears to confirm it is done. Completing it unlocks the follow-up quest, Celeste’s Teenage Rebellion.

The payout includes 5,000 XP, three Sterilized Bandages, and the Lance’s Mixtape backpack charm.

Sterilized Bandage reward stats

Classified as Rare quick-use medical items, these three Sterilized Bandages restore health gradually rather than in one burst. That makes them useful in the prolonged fights of tougher Frozen Trail raids. This is how the item works.

Attribute	Value
Rarity	Rare
Healing	5/s over 10s
Use time	1.5s
Weight	0.2
Max stack	3
Sell value	2,000 Coins
Sold by	Lance for 6,000 Coins

Since the whole run is inspection only, treat this as a safe reward trip. Bank the charm, keep the three bandages in reserve, and you are set for the harder quests waiting on Pendola Pass.
