How to Solve the Echo Art Gallery Secret in Control Resonant

The Kön人stig art gallery in the Evacuation Zone conceals the Echo exhibition puzzle in Control Resonant. Solving it opens a hidden basement room containing a health point and several lore collectibles.

This guide explains where to find the gallery, how its four switches work and which artworks must be illuminated.

Finding the Echo art gallery

Inside the Kön人stig gallery, look for the Echo exhibition sign on the wall. The exhibition is credited to artist Charlie Meecham. A note on the desk lists the paintings sold during the month: Journey, Windows, Thunder and Tides.

The room contains four switches, each connected to three artworks. Activating a switch cycles through its three paintings in sequence. Your objective is to light the artwork representing each of the four words written on the note.

Echo exhibition puzzle solution

For a straightforward route around the room, begin with the group of paintings to the left of the front desk and move clockwise. Treat each group as having a left, middle and right position.

The required paintings appear in this order:

1. Middle: a country lane bordered by hedges, passing beneath a large tree.
2. Left: spiralling tree branches in a forest setting, with brown leaves across the ground.
3. Left: a solitary tree in a field, with two huge branches extending from its short trunk.
4. Middle: a dead tree lying across a rippling river, with its roots exposed.

The four paintings to activate

These four images correspond to Journey, Windows, Thunder and Tides, the titles named on the gallery note. Select the matching painting as each switch cycles through its set.

Once all four correct artworks are lit, the wall at the rear of the gallery slides aside. Enter the newly revealed hideout and head downstairs to collect the health point and the additional lore items.
