Celeste’s childhood drawings objective in Arc Raiders sends players across three points of interest in Riven Tides: a hotel room that begins the trail, a rooftop at the Customs House and a small interaction point at the Quay. The important wrinkle is that the initial hotel search does more than provide flavor. Inspecting the correct object there unlocks the two drawing objectives that complete the assignment.
This is therefore best handled as a compact, ordered route rather than three unrelated scavenger-hunt stops. Start at Hotel Panorama Azzuro, interact with the map in young Celeste’s room, then visit the Customs House and Quay drawings before extracting. Once safely out, return to Lance to claim the reward.

Celeste’s childhood drawings: the required route
- Go to Hotel Panorama Azzuro in Riven Tides.
- Find room 213 and inspect the map on the cabinet beside the window.
- Visit the roof of the third Customs House and inspect the drawing on a metal panel.
- Go to the Quay and inspect the drawing attached to the sea-facing cable spool.
- Extract, then speak with Lance to turn in the completed mission.
The task can feel less direct than the list suggests because the Quay is not especially prominent at a broad map view, while the first interaction is tucked inside a precise hotel room. The sequence matters: if the later drawings do not appear to be progressing the objective, make sure the room 213 map was inspected first.
Step 1: Find young Celeste’s room at Hotel Panorama Azzuro
The mission trail starts at Hotel Panorama Azzuro. The room you need is 213, on the second floor. A straightforward approach is to use the exterior stairs. Upon entering the building from that route on the second level, room 213 is the first room encountered.
Inside, do not look for a drawing immediately. Instead, head to the cabinet beside the window and inspect the map there. This interaction updates the objective list with the two remaining targets:
- the drawing on the roof of the third Customs House
- the drawing at the Quay
That map is the mission’s gatekeeper. In practical terms, it turns the hotel from a vague search area into the starting checkpoint for the rest of the route. Players who only enter the hotel and leave without examining the cabinet map will miss the key progression trigger.
Why room 213 is the key detail
Hotel interiors can invite unnecessary door-checking, especially when an objective describes a character’s room rather than highlighting an exact interaction point. Here, the room number removes the guesswork. Use the exterior stairs, enter at the second floor and take the first room: that is room 213.

Once the map has been inspected, there is no need to keep searching Hotel Panorama Azzuro for another childhood drawing. The remaining two items are at separate locations in Riven Tides.
Step 2: Find the Customs House rooftop drawing
The next objective is on the roof of the third Customs House. Of the four Customs House buildings arranged in a north-to-south stack, this is the second building when counting from north to south. That distinction is useful because “third” is part of the objective’s location name, but the visual grouping can otherwise make it easy to head to the wrong roof.
After reaching the correct building, make your way to its roof. The drawing is not presented as a large standalone landmark. Look in a corner for a metal panel; the picture on that panel is the object to examine.
Interacting with it completes the Customs House portion of Celeste’s childhood drawings objective. If the rooftop looks right but there is no obvious progression, re-check both parts of the location: it must be the second building from the north in the four-building line, and the drawing is on the metal panel in the corner rather than simply somewhere on the roof.
A note on objective wording and landmarks
“Customs House” identifies the building cluster, while “third” distinguishes the relevant one within it. The practical landmark is the north-to-south ordering of all four buildings. Meanwhile, the metal panel is the close-range confirmation that you have reached the correct spot. These two levels of navigation—large map landmark first, specific environmental object second—are what make the stop quick once understood.
Step 3: Find the Quay drawing
The final drawing is at the Quay. This is the more easily missed stop because the Quay only becomes visible on the map when it is zoomed in closely. If you cannot find its label at first, zoom further rather than assuming the quest marker is absent.
At the Quay, search for two large cable spools. The drawing is attached to one of the legs of the spool nearest the sea. Examine it to finish the last on-location objective.
This final clue is deliberately specific in a useful way. There are two spools, but only the one nearer the water matters; and the drawing is on a leg rather than lying atop the spool or resting nearby. Checking the sea-facing spool’s supports should keep the search brief.
Extract before turning in the mission
Finding all three relevant points does not immediately place the rewards in your inventory. After the Quay interaction, the next requirement is to extract. In the context of this mission, extraction is the step that ends the Riven Tides run and allows the completed assignment to be handed in.
After extraction, return to Lance. The turn-in rewards are:
- Lance’s Mixtape backpack charm
- Three Sterilized Bandages
The backpack charm is the named cosmetic reward associated with the quest, while the Sterilized Bandages are the additional consumable reward. Do not leave the run without extracting after the final interaction if the goal is to receive both items.
Quick checklist for the full Celeste drawings objective
- Hotel Panorama Azzuro: take the exterior stairs to the second floor, enter room 213, and inspect the cabinet map by the window.
- Third Customs House: use the second building from north to south in the group of four, reach its roof, and inspect the corner metal panel.
- Quay: zoom the map in to locate it; inspect the drawing on the leg of the cable spool closest to the sea.
- Finish: extract and report back to Lance.
The route is simple once the order is clear: room 213 activates the search, the Customs House rooftop provides one drawing, and the sea-side cable spool at the Quay provides the other. With those interactions completed and an extraction secured, Lance can close out the mission.
