The Konstig Art Gallery can be found in the Evacuation Zone, somewhat near the Railyard Street Station. You've probably explored this area before as part of the Power Lines main quest, but if not, we've included the exact spot on the map screenshot below.

Once you get close to the area, look for the "secret" indicator on your map, which is a symbol in the shape of a question mark.

Once you get to this location, the door to the Art Gallery will be blocked by red barriers. You will need to clear the waves of enemies outside first. After doing this, the blockade will vanish and you will finally be able to enter the building.

How to Solve the Art Gallery Puzzle & All Rewards

When you first enter the building, you should be able to see a letter on the front counter. Pick it up to read it. It will have four different words listed - Journey, Windows, Thunder, and Tides.

Each of these four words corresponds to a different painting that has been sold in the last month, and are the key to completing the Art Gallery puzzle.

The puzzle involves toggling the lights around the art gallery displays to shine on the correct four paintings. Don't worry if you're unsure about which ones are these mysterious 'journey' or 'thunder', though, we've got you covered with the correct order below.

To make things easy, let's label each of the walls 1 - 4.

Short Answer:

  • Painting 1 (Middle) - the trail heading towards the tree.
  • Painting 2 (Left) - the painting with the curved branches.
  • Painting 3 (Left) - the large tree with a blue sky and grassy terrain.
  • Painting 4 (Middle) - the painting of the water and fallen trees.

From the front desk, turn to the wall on the left. Let's call this one wall 1. The correct painting choice for this wall is the middle painting - the one with the trail/pathway running through the middle towards a tree.

Now walk forward to the back wall - wall 2. The correct painting for this wall is the left side painting, with the twisting, circular branches.

Now turn to your right and you will be facing another long wall with two sets of paintings. First, head to the leftmost set of paintings - let's call this one wall 3, and the rightside most of paintings wall 4.

The correct choice to light up for painting 3 on wall 3 is once again the left painting, this time capturing a large tree on some grassy terrain.

Lastly, walk right down to wall 4, and light up the final painting. The correct choice from this trio is the middle painting, which shows some fallen trees and water.

After successfully lighting up these four paintings, the lights will now flick on to all the paintings, illuminating every artwork in each trio. This is your signal that you successfully completed the puzzle, and as a result, a new pathway inside the building will now have opened up.

Follow the path and take the stairs down to the basement. In here you will find some documents, which may come in handy if you're going for the completionist approach and trying to collect them all. These documents are titled as follows:

  • Workshop Journal Entries
  • Proposed Enforcement

More importantly, though, there is a loot crate with a Health Upgrade Point inside, marking one of the three total hidden throughout this zone. Pretty solid loot for just a little bit of lighting work, no?
