Once Human has a pretty memorable story, but what people love the most about the game isn’t the main quest. The side quests, puzzles and hundreds of other activities spread out around the huge open world captivate the players’ hearts and keep them coming back to the game.
Devious Painting is one of these side activities you can complete for some cool rewards. In this quest, you’ll have to hunt down Devious Paintings in all six regions and interact with them to get a map that you can track down to claim your rewards. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to complete all the Devious Painting puzzles in Once Human. Let’s get started.
