There are plenty of characters to unlock in Warhammer Survivors, and the key to recruit some of them is hidden behind their rescues. You can find these characters during your runs, the first task is to rescue them. Then, you can use your in-game credits to add them as companions/playable characters.
Let’s find out how to rescue all the characters.

How to rescue all 40K universe characters in Warhammer Survivors
First, let’s look at how to rescue all the characters that are present across the 40K universe stages.

| Character | Stage | How to Rescue |
|---|---|---|
| Bartosz Kozlowski | Imperial Bastion | To find Bartosz, you have to either go directly to the north from your starting spot, or to the south. In my case, I found him at a crossroads south from my starting location. He will be surrounded by enemies, and look for ones with blue outline. Kill all enemies with the blue outline to get a pointer, and then approach it to unlock the champion. Bartosz will automatically join you as a companion on your run. |
| The Legend of Catachan | Imperial Bastion | To find this champion, you need to go five grid squares right, and then move five grid squares up. Hacing the Auspex Relic is going to make things easier for you. Once you’re at the correct location, you’ll find him near the turret. |
| K9 Mastiff | Gallowdark | Go right from where you start in Gallowdark, and look for the metal platforms. You’ll find one in every grind, and you need to check these platforms until you find K9 Mastiff. You’ll find six monsters around the character, and you’ll have to kill all of them. |
| Sebastian Yarrick | Ork Stronghold | Move four grid squares to left, and then go four grid squares up. You’ll find Yarrick in the northwestern corner, surrounded by six mini-bosses. |
| Saint Celestine | Imperial Shipyard | Once you reach Level 50 in Ork Stronghold, you’ll then need to begin your rescue of Saint Celestine. First, go to the north and use the Level 1 elevator. Go to the left, and take the Level 2 elevator. Go right, and use the Level 6 elevator. On Level 6, go all the way to the right, and you’ll find Saint Celestine surrounded by enemies. |
How to rescue all Age of Sigmar characters in Warhammer Survivors

Rescuing the characters in Age of Sigmar stages are more straightforward.
| Character | Stage | How to Rescue |
|---|---|---|
| Armand Callis | The Great Parch | Go left from your starting spot, and then turn south. Continue going south until you spot Armand. |
| Hanniver Toll | The Great Parch | Go three grids to the left and then five grids to the top, and you’ll find Hanniver in the southwestern edge of the grid. |
| Gotrek Gurnisson | Skrappa Spill | Go right from your starting spot, and you’ll eventually reach Gotrek, who will be surrounded by enemies. |
| Rostus Oxenhammer | Bloodwind Spoll | Go five grid squares to the north from your starting spot, and you’ll locate Rostus surrounded by enemies. |
I have yet to rescue two other champions that are available in the Age of Sigmar universe. I will update their locations on the table above once I have managed to save them.
