Quest Mode (simply "Quest") is a new gameplay mode in Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. The mode consists of eight warriors gaining powers to rescue the Demi-God of Rock after he was imprisoned by the Scourge of Rock.
Each character chapter has a number of songs that match the genre of the character, and 3 other characters (a singer, a drummer, and a bassist) whom fit the character; for example, Johnny Napalm is a punk-rocker, so his band mates are also punk-rockers. For each chapter the player has to collect a certain number of power stars before the character changes into their warrior ego, and their band mates take on similar appearances. For example, Austin Tejas transforms into a headless horseman and his band mates then resemble ghosts, and Casey Lynch transforms into a snake-woman and her band mates then don reptile costumes. Each character also has an ability to help collect power stars. Once they have transformed into their warrior forms, their abilities are upgraded to "+" state, wherein the effects of the power are boosted.
Quest Mode can be played solo, or with band play. However, since, song list is arranged by difficulty for the guitar, the difficulty for the other instruments won't remain consistent.
Domination[]
After completing the game and unlocking the Demi-God of Rock, the player is all-powerful, and has all powers combined. Domination is where, with all powers, the power collects all 40 stars in every song. Chapters dominated glow with fire. Domination can be done on any difficulty.
