At the Könstig Art Gallery in the Evacuation Zone, follow the note’s order—Journey, Windows, Thunder, Tides—and set the spotlights to second, first, first, second. The sequence opens a hidden area.
Painting puzzle solution
- Read the note at the front desk. It lists Journey, Windows, Thunder, and Tides.
- At each artwork group, use its nearby switch to cycle the spotlight among the three paintings.
- Match the words in the note’s order, choosing the paintings in these positions: second, first, first, second.
The position numbers refer to each group’s three paintings, not to a single sequence of paintings around the gallery.

Which painting matches each clue?
TechWiser’s room-route descriptions identify the paintings as follows:
- Journey — second: a country lane passing beneath a large tree.
- Windows — first: spiraling branches and brown leaves.
- Thunder — first: a lone tree in an open field.
- Tides — second: a fallen tree across a river.
Where to find the puzzle
Walkthroughs place the Könstig Art Gallery near the center of the Evacuation Zone, just past the Fast Travel Door. Look for the Echo exhibition sign at the entrance; these are guide-reported directions rather than official map data. A note at the front desk provides the clue words, and each of the four artwork groups has a nearby spotlight switch.

What solving it unlocks
Completing the sequence opens a wall to a hidden room or area. Guides report a Health Upgrade Point among the rewards. They differ on the other documents or collectibles, so an exact total of additional items is not established.
Walkthrough sources agree on the clue words and selection sequence, but the answer is corroborated by secondary guides rather than an official game source. TechWiser also reports that choosing an incorrect painting has no fail state, so you can cycle the spotlights again if needed.
