Warhammer Survivors Secrets Guide: How to Unlock the Secrets Menu, All Codes & Riddles

Preferred Source Add TposeGaming on Google

on

You’ll find Warhammer Survivors secrets in two hidden Secrets menus, one for Warhammer 40,000 and one for Age of Sigmar. You open the 40K menu with the Book of Tzeentch and the Age of Sigmar menu with the Eye of Tzeentch. Inside, you get two things: riddles that point to real objectives, and incantations, which are codes you type for instant unlocks.

The November 11 hotfix (v2.1.6) also changed some unlock requirements. Steam got it first and other platforms follow the week after. If a condition below doesn’t match what you see in game, that is probably why.

How to Unlock the Secrets Menu in Warhammer Survivors

The menu isn’t there from the start. You need a specific relic first. You must grab the first relic in one run and the second one in a later run, not in the same run.

Warhammer 40,000: Auspex to Book of Tzeentch

Find the Auspex on Desert Wasteland. It’s the scanner relic. In a later run, go to Death World Invasion and collect the Book of Tzeentch. That opens the 40K Secrets menu.

Age of Sigmar: Arcanoscope to Eye of Tzeentch

Find the Arcanoscope which is in Gnarlwood. In a later run, use it to find the Eye of Tzeentch on Gnarlwood. That opens the Age of Sigmar Secrets menu.

Finding the Scanners Faster

Auspex and Arcanoscope also give you a Detailed Map view on later stages, which shows hidden passives, weapons and items. It would be much better if you go after them first. Relics also seem to stay gone once you take them, so don’t waste a run looking for the same one twice. And get the two menu relics the normal way before you try the codes that give the same relics.

How the Secrets Menu Works: Incantations vs. Riddles

Each universe has its own menu. A 40K code only works in the 40K menu, and an Age of Sigmar code only works in the Age of Sigmar menu. The 12 paint pot codes are the exception and work in both.

What are Incantations?

They are codes. You type the exact code into the entry field, lowercase with no spaces, and the unlock is instant. You skip the requirement completely. There are about 126 documented codes.

What are Riddles?

They are cryptic lines in the menu. Each one points to a real objective. By doing them you will unlock the rewards. Some also show up in the normal Objectives menu. There are 14 documented riddles, 5 in 40K and 9 in Age of Sigmar. Nine give characters, three give skins and two give relics. Some character riddles also need you to reach certain stages or meet merchants first.

These conditions are based on the November 10 release database. The hotfix changed some unlocks, so expect some minor changes.

Age of Sigmar Riddles (9)

All Warhammer Survivors Secret Codes (Incantations)

Type every code exactly as shown. Lowercase, no spaces, in the matching menu. The codes are community data-mined, and they give instant unlocks. A few unlocks have two codes, like Daedalosus, Drekki Flynt, Brokk Grungsson and both skin pairs in Age of Sigmar. Either one works.

Relic Codes (26)

Hidden Relics and Map Secrets

The four menu relics are the big ones: the Auspex on Desert Wasteland, the Book of Tzeentch on Death World Invasion, the Eye of Tzeentch on Gnarlwood, and the Arcanoscope. The devs confirm that relics are permanent discoveries that can unlock extra mechanics or even playable characters. They are more than a boost for one run.

The code lists name plenty of other relics, like the Book of Woe, Teleportarium and The Emperor’s Tarot in 40K, and the Celestial Orrery in Age of Sigmar. Stage locations for most of them aren’t documented yet. One source also says passives like Codex Astartes and Tactical Rock are map secrets the scanners reveal.

Paint Pots

There are 12 Paint Pots, and if you collect all of them you’ll get the Steam achievement Parade Ready. They show up as glowing jars, often behind breakable objects or out on the map edges. The only stage given is Abaddon Black on Imperial Bastion. Leadbelcher is worth grabbing early because it shows up in several character sets.

Exploring Before the Swarms

I suggest you search the outer edges of the map early, before the heavy swarms hit. Also destroy glowing objects and kill elite mini-bosses early on, because they can drop loot or trigger things.

Character Rescues

Some characters are rescued on specific stages. You beat the enemies around them to free them. These characters are the Imperial Bastion for Kozlowski and the Legend of Catachan, Gallowdark for K9, the Ork Stronghold for Yarrick, and the Imperial Shipyard for Celestine.

Merchant Purchases and Trade Agreements

Merchants sell characters and deals. Balphamus Vaulk sells himself as a playable character. Drekki Flynt and Brokk Grungsson each need a Trade Agreement on every stage for their riddles, so don’t skip them when you see them.

Paint Pot Characters

Six characters are tied to Paint Pots. Lieutenant Titus needs Abaddon Black, Agrax Earthshade, Celestra Grey, Reikland Fleshshade, Retributor Armour and Macragge Blue. Chief Librarian Mephiston needs Abaddon Black, Leadbelcher, Mephiston Red and Rakarth Flesh. The other four are the Black Templars Castellan, Maleneth Witchblade, Lyssa Revenya and Valius. The devs also lowered the requirements tied to D6 Dice and Nuln Oil for Reikland Fleshshade and Agrax Earthshade in the November 11 update, so older kill counts may be wrong.

Tips for Finding Warhammer Survivors Secrets Faster

Get the menu relics first. Run Desert Wasteland for the Auspex, then Death World Invasion for the Book of Tzeentch. For Age of Sigmar, check Gnarlwood and Twin-Tailed City for the Arcanoscope, then go back to Gnarlwood for the Eye. Once the menus are open, the riddles tell you what to chase.

Some riddles stack nicely. Take pairs like Max and K9, Callis and Toll, or Gotrek and Maleneth in your retinue when you clear a stage. Grab the relays and Trade Agreements as you play each stage instead of going back later. Gnarlwood is a good stage to farm since it has both the Eye of Tzeentch and the Mangler Squig for Yndrasta. Necropolis gives you the Oathstone.

If you just want everything, the codes are the fast path. If you want the achievements and the real unlocks, do the riddles.
