The tables above will be updated over time as we find and unlock new champions.
How to Find and Rescue All Characters in Imperial Bastion
Imperial Bastion is the game’s first stage, and it’s available by default. You can unlock two characters by exploring this region: Trooper Bartosz Kozlowski and The Legend of Catachan.
You can learn the locations with the Auspex Relic, collected from the Desert Wasteland stage after unlocking the ‘eavy metal mode. Or, you can follow the exact locations below.
For Bartosz Kozlowski, go north from your starting spot on the map, get beyond the first military building, and you will find the character at a crossroads. Just follow the images above, and you will spot the character surrounded by enemies.
To rescue Bartosz Kozlowski, you need to defeat all the enemies with a blue outline around them. Once they are wiped out, a pointer will mark the champion, and if you approach it, Bartosz will be unlocked. The good news is that he will join you as a companion for the rest of this run, and as you upgrade your character’s default weapon, Bartosz’s weapon will be upgraded as well.
Things aren’t that easy for The Legend of Catachan, though. The probability of randomly stumbling upon Bartosz Kozowski is pretty high, but The Legend of Catachan is in a pretty distant location:
To find this champion, you need to move 5 grid squares right and 5 grid squares up. When you reach the target square, you will find The Legend of Catachan on the left side of a turret, surrounded by multiple mini-bosses that you should defeat. The video above shows you the location.
It’s worth noting that items like Magnet will also always spawn in the same spot. So, you can use them as a guide to reach Catachan’s location.
How to Find and Rescue All Characters in Gallowdark
K9 Mastiff is the missing character on Gallowdark. When you begin a run at Gallowdark, you always start on a metal platform with two eagle icons on it. All you need to do is keep going right.
The map has a repeating pattern, and every grid square hosts one of those metal platforms. So, you just keep going right and keep checking those metal platforms until you find the K9 Mastiff in the middle of one of those platforms with eagle emblems.
As soon as you spot the dog, 6 giant monsters will spawn next to it. Killing these monsters is not going to be easy. Storm Eagle Rocket is the best weapon to get rid of them. So, if you ever get the offer during your level-ups, make sure to take it and upgrade it as many times as possible.
If you are not lucky enough to get Storm Eagle Rocket, then you should rely on pick-ups such as Blast Templates or Promethium Canisters.
How to Find and Rescue All Characters in Ork Stronghold
The champion trapped in Ork Stronghold is Commissar Sebastian Yarrick, with a cool claw weapon that is great for opening up a path ahead when the screen is filled with enemies.
To free Yarrick, you should move 4 grid squares to the left, then 4 grid squares up. The champion is inside an arena-like spot, in the southwestern corner of the target grid square.
Yarrick is guarded by 6 black-armored mini-bosses, known as Meganobs. The good news is that these are not the top-tier Meganobs, but you will still have to burn so much time to kill them with any weapon except for Storm Eagle Rocket.
Yarrick’s weapon only deals damage horizontally. So, if you want to have good coverage of your surroundings after rescuing him, you’d better pick a character that is capable of dealing vertical damage. This will result in a much better combo for the rest of your run.
How to Find and Rescue All Characters in Imperial Shipyard
The last champion to rescue is located in Imperial Shipyard. To unlock this stage, you will first need to reach Level 50 in the Ork Stronghold mission.
When the run begins, move to the north and use the Level 1 elevator. On the new level, go a little to the left, and you will spot the Level 2 elevator. Use it to reach another level. Here, move right and use the Level 6 elevator.
Now that you are on Level 6, move all the way to the right, and you will spot Saint Celestine surrounded by the same monsters that had K9 Mastiff trapped.
Again, Storm Eagle Rocket is the best weapon to destroy them and free the champion immediately. If you have already unlocked the Banish and Reroll passives, you will have an easier time getting the rocket as a level-up offer.
How to Find and Rescue All Characters in The Great Parch
You can find the locations of these characters without help if you defeat the Plague Furnace in The Great Parch to get the Arcanoscope Relic, but this is only for the Gnarlwood stage.
Armand Callis is pretty easy to locate. Just go left a little when the run begins. It doesn’t even need to be a whole grid square. Just one-fourth of a grid square is enough. Then, start moving south until you spot Armand.
The second character is located in the northeast of the map. From your starting location, move 3 grid squares to the left and 5 grid squares up. You will find Hanniver Toll at the southwestern corner of the target square. Kill the highlighted enemies around the champion to hire him as a companion.
How to Find and Rescue All Characters in Skrappa Spill
Similar to the Gallowdark mission, you should just keep going right, and you will eventually come across Gotrek Gurnisson surrounded by some mini-bosses. These enemies are not too strong. Leveling up your weapons to 4 or 5 should already deal enough damage to get rid of them.
However, the problem is that Skrappa Spill is a narrow map, and there are a lot of minions coming from the left and right. So, you are strongly advised to equip weapons that are good at crowd control.
How to Find and Rescue All Characters in Bloodwind Spoil
Traversing this map could be a little difficult, but the character is located in an easy spot. All you have to do is go north by 5 grid squares. You will find Rostus Oxenhammer on the southwestern corner of the target grid square, surrounded by enemies.
The spot where the trapped champion is located is pretty small. Similar to the Skrappa Spill, you will need to rely on good crowd-control weapons like Nebulous Sea-Fog, Tempest Axes, and Boltstorm Pistol. It’s strongly recommended that you upgrade all these weapons to level 4 or 5 before going to rescue the character.
This guide will be updated with location guides for two more champions from the Age of Sigmar universe.
