How To Unlock Saint Celestine - Warhammer Survivors

To unlock Saint Celestine in Warhammer Survivors, you must either locate and rescue her on the Imperial Shipyard map or enter a specific secret code in the game's menu. In the gameplay method, players must defeat a group of six Beast of Nurgle enemies that spawn upon approaching her captive location to successfully add her to the roster.

Unlock Methods for Saint Celestine

There are currently two confirmed ways to add Saint Celestine to your character collection. While the gameplay method provides an in-game challenge, the incantation method offers an immediate unlock for players who prefer to skip the rescue mission.

1. Rescue on Imperial Shipyard

The primary way to obtain Saint Celestine is by finding her during a run on the Imperial Shipyard stage. Unlike standard characters who may be purchased with currency, Celestine is a captive who must be liberated.

• Location: Navigate the Imperial Shipyard map until you find the captive character icon.
• The Encounter: As you approach the captive for the first time, a specialized ambush will trigger. Six Beast of Nurgle enemies will spawn immediately around her.
• Completion: You must survive the encounter and successfully rescue the character. Once the rescue is complete, Saint Celestine will be unlocked for future runs. Note that once she is unlocked, the captive version of her will no longer appear on the map.

2. Secret Incantation Code

For players who wish to bypass the Imperial Shipyard requirement, the game includes a "Secrets" menu where codes can be entered.

• Menu: Go to the Secrets menu in the game interface.
• Code: Select "Enter Incantation" and type in: faithandduty
• Result: This will immediately unlock Saint Celestine as a playable character.

Starting Weapon: Ardent Blade

Saint Celestine begins every run with the Ardent Blade. This weapon is tied to her identity as a Living Saint of the Warhammer 40,000 setting and serves as the foundation for her high-damage potential.

• Base Weapon: Ardent Blade.
• Evolution: The Ardent Blade can be evolved into the Weapon of the Matriarch.

Evolving the weapon typically requires specific passive items or level thresholds common to the survivors-like genre, though the specific evolution recipe is often discovered through experimentation within the Imperial Shipyard and other stages.

Base Stats and Growth

Saint Celestine is characterized by high mobility and a unique "Redeployment" mechanic that allows her to return to the fray with increased power. As of the November 10, 2026 release version, her base stats are as follows:

Unique Ability: Divine Growth

Saint Celestine possesses a passive ability that scales throughout a match. She grows in both Chance and Strength every time she levels up. Furthermore, her ability ensures she "Redeploys stronger," making her "Redeployment" stat (+2 base) a critical resource for surviving late-game waves.

Level Bonuses and Veterancy

Saint Celestine features a unique leveling curve regarding her "Veterancy" stat. Unlike other characters who might see linear growth, Celestine’s Veterancy fluctuates at specific milestones, potentially representing a cycle of martyrdom and rebirth.

• Level 20: Gains Veterancy +100% (Total: +100%).
• Level 21: Receives Veterancy -100% (Total: +0%).
• Level 40: Gains Veterancy +100% (Total: +100%).
• Level 41: Receives Veterancy -100% (Total: +0%).

This pattern suggests that players should maximize their offensive output during the "power spikes" at levels 20 and 40, as the bonus resets immediately upon reaching the subsequent level.

Game Availability and Version

The details provided in this guide are based on the release version of Warhammer Survivors dated November 10, 2026. While the game features characters from the Warhammer 40,000 setting, such as Sergeant Furan and Knight-Commander Pask, the specific platforms, developer names, and control schemes have not been independently confirmed in the available documentation.
