Warhammer Survivors secrets live in two Secrets menus, one for each universe, with 14 riddles and 126 incantation codes between them. You open the Warhammer 40,000 menu with the Book of Tzeentch and the Age of Sigmar menu with the Eye of Tzeentch, and each has an Incantation Entry box for typing codes.
Key takeaways
- Find the Auspex on Desert Wasteland, then the Book of Tzeentch on Death World Invasion to open the Warhammer 40,000 Secrets menu.
- Find the Arcanoscope, then use it to find the Eye of Tzeentch on Gnarlwood to open the Age of Sigmar menu.
- The 14 riddles unlock nine characters, three skin sets and two relics, and the codes can unlock almost everything else outright.
How do you open the Secrets menu in Warhammer Survivors?
There isn’t one Secrets menu but two, and each needs a relic. The menu shows up once you own that universe’s relic, and codes only work in their own universe’s menu.
Warhammer 40,000: the Book of Tzeentch. First pick up the Auspex on Desert Wasteland. It reveals hidden items and marks them on the map on every Warhammer 40,000 stage. On a later run of Death World Invasion, the Book of Tzeentch shows up as a purple book icon on the map. Collecting it earns the Changer of Ways achievement and opens the menu.
Age of Sigmar: the Eye of Tzeentch. Run Gnarlwood and head for the question mark on the map to collect the Arcanoscope, the Age of Sigmar version of the Auspex. Run Gnarlwood again and you’ll see two question marks; the one to the west is the Eye of Tzeentch. The Architect of Fate achievement reads “Use the Arcanoscope to find the Eye of Tzeentch in Gnarlwood.”
Not every riddle is visible straight away. More appear as you make progress, so an empty-looking list early on is normal.
What are all the Warhammer 40,000 riddles?
The Warhammer 40,000 menu has five riddles. Three are secret characters, one is a skin pair and one is a relic.
| Riddle | What to do | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| “Once all relays are active, make an offering to the Tech-Priest of Mars.” | Buy Balphamus Vaulk as a playable character from Balphamus Vaulk | Balphamus Vaulk |
| “With all heroes assembled, one more shall appear, ready to lead them in His name.” | Unlock every standard Warhammer 40,000 character | High Abbess Morvenn Vahl |
| “With the teleportarium secured, ignite the beacons upon each world.” | Activate the Astropathic Relay on every stage | Technoarcheologist Daedalosus |
| “Stay vigilant with a four-legged friend at your side.” | Finish a stage with Max Mahon and K9 in your retinue | Max & K9 skins |
| “Banish the Pale King into the Immaterium.” | Defeat Mortarion, Daemon Primarch of Nurgle | Standard of the Emperor Ascendant |
The Standard of the Emperor Ascendant unlocks Purity Mode for Warhammer 40,000, which strictly enforces weapon and passive limits. Mortarion only becomes available after you beat the universe’s three Extremis bosses. The three character riddles are covered step by step in the character unlock guide.
What are all the Age of Sigmar riddles?
The Age of Sigmar menu has nine riddles: six characters, two skin pairs and a relic.
| Riddle | What to do | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| “The hammer-wielding Blacktalon can summon the Lord-Commander by striking a heroic pose.” | Evolve the Stormcharged Warhammer | Lord-Commander Carthalos |
| “Sign all accords with the zhaktopped Arkanaut.” | Buy a Trade Agreement with Brokk Grungsson on every stage | Lord-Magnate Brokk Grungsson |
| “Bearing a star sigil and a pendant of jet black, the Sunderer calls forth the First Scion of Sigmar to unfurl his wings.” | Evolve Uskavar the Sunderer | Celestant-Prime, Hammer of Sigmar |
| “Sign all accords with the swashbuckling sky-pilot.” | Buy a Trade Agreement with Drekki Flynt on every stage | Drekki Flynt |
| “Cause major trouble with a fusil-cannon in one hand, and a beastly realmstone in the other.” | Morph the Freeguild Fusilier into Captain Docheval | Major Docheval |
| “Hunt down a pair of chained monsters in the Realm of Beasts.” | Defeat a Mangler Squig on Gnarlwood | Yndrasta, the Celestial Spear |
| “The old Witch Hunter must save the day once more, with the help of his intrepid companion.” | Finish a stage with Armand Callis and Hanniver Toll in your retinue | Callis & Toll skins |
| “Seek an honourable death with a legend of the World-that-Was, accompanied by Khaine’s assassin.” | Finish a stage with Maleneth Witchblade and Gotrek Gurnisson in your retinue | Gotrek & Maleneth skins |
| “Lay low the one who cannot truly die.” | Complete Necropolis | Oathstone |
The two evolution riddles need the right passive at max level, which the evolution recipes guide lists. Mangler Squigs are two red monsters chained together that turn up later in a Gnarlwood run. The Oathstone does the same job as the Standard: it unlocks Purity Mode for Age of Sigmar.
How do incantation codes work?
Each Secrets menu has an Incantation Entry with an on-screen keyboard. Type a code and it unlocks the reward next to it. Type them in lowercase with no spaces, exactly as listed below.
Think before you use them. Codes are reported to be permanent, and once something is unlocked by code, you can’t then earn it the normal way without starting a new save. Nothing official says whether codes affect Steam achievements, so if you’re hunting all 51, earn what you can first.
There are 67 codes in the Warhammer 40,000 menu and 73 in the Age of Sigmar menu. The 12 paint pot codes and two relic codes, feelnopain (Broken Sword) and ongoingreserves (Hunting Trap), work in both.
What are the best Warhammer Survivors codes?
These six do the most in one go:
| Code | Menu | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|
| crusade | Warhammer 40,000 | Limitless Mode |
| wargear | Warhammer 40,000 | All standard weapons and passives |
| apocalypse | Warhammer 40,000 | All evolved weapons |
| pathtoglory | Age of Sigmar | Limitless Mode |
| arsenal | Age of Sigmar | All standard weapons and passives |
| stormvault | Age of Sigmar | All evolved weapons |
Limitless Mode normally unlocks when you defeat an Extremis boss. If you only want to skip one grind, the stage codes are the safest choice: each unlocks a stage and its ’Eavy Metal version without touching your characters or weapons.
What are the stage codes?

If Lieutenant Titus won’t unlock for you, rubiconprimaris is the workaround players are using. The developers have said on the Steam forum that they’re aware of the Titus bug and investigating a fix.
What are the relic, skin and paint pot codes?
The relics that matter most are the two menu keys and the mode unlocks: scanner (Auspex), crimsonking (The Book of Tzeentch), fortheemperor (Standard of the Emperor Ascendant), kronuscounter (Arcanoscope), discipleoftzeentch (Eye of Tzeentch) and forsigmar (Oathstone). The full code list has every other relic, plus the 20 tarot and arcana card codes.
Skins: exactionsquad gives Max & K9; undercity or agentsoftheorder gives Callis & Toll; theslayer or theassassin gives Gotrek & Maleneth.
Paint pots, which work in both menus: despoiler (Abaddon Black), liquidtalent (Agrax Earthshade), blackreach (Celestra Grey), sylvania (Drakenhof Nightshade), dawnbringer (Retributor Armour), biggungoboom (Leadbelcher), blueberry (Macragge Blue), basecoat (Mechanicus Standard Grey), sanguine (Mephiston Red), beastlord (Rakarth Flesh), heldenhammer (Reikland Fleshshade) and anvilofdoom (Runelord Brass).
The paint pots are the codes most worth saving for last. Every one of the six paint pot champions needs Abaddon Black or Leadbelcher, and a November 11 hotfix cut the kill counts needed for Reikland Fleshshade and Agrax Earthshade. For the cards, the Emperor’s Tarot guide covers how to earn them in a run.
