The Devious Painting Puzzles can lead to all sorts of cool treasures, not to mention the useful Stellar Planula to get those extra Starchrom Crates. This short guide will help you solve all the Devious Painting Puzzles you come across in Once Human.

How to find Devious Painting Puzzles

You’ll want to keep an eye out for the burnt out buildings shown in the above screenshots, as they contain the Devious Puzzle hints. Head inside to find an artists’ diary and interact with it.

Once you’ve done that, hit Q to activate Space Time and you’ll see a painting appear on a nearby easel. Interact with that to reveal a map where you’ll be able to find the treasure you’re looking for. Don’t worry about remembering it, you’ll be able to pick it up from a loot crate straight after.

Now all you need to do is match the map with your world map, find the spot, and you’ll see a glowing spot on the ground when you get there.

Grab it, and you’re done!

That’s all there is to solving these puzzles. If you’d like to take a break from exploring and work on your build, I have a build guide for Shrapnel, and a build guide for Fast Gunner (weakspot Dmg) on the site, too!
