Collector

**Collector** is a side quest in INSOMNIA: The Ark. Sadly it appears that this quest is bugged, at least in the current version of the game (1.7). Although Estlund Ro asks you to look at "a couple dozen paintings", however many pictures you interact with, he always says, "you haven't even seen half!" and the quest never progresses.

Not all pictures can be interacted with; in particular, none of those in the House by the Sea, and only one in the Sleeping Quarters of the Vulture's Nest.

The shadow of Estlund Ro, near The House by the Sea on the Coast

## Quest target

* Look around at the Paintings in the Exhibition

## Typical Journal entry

Estlund Ro, a shadow from the house on the coast, has been collecting art for many years. He asked me to look at a couple dozen paintings, before he decides how to organize an exposition. He states that the paintings from his collection are scattered around the world—well, it hardly makes sense to argue with a shadow.

## List of pictures in the game

There are currently 30 pictures on this list, although not all of them can be viewed in one playthrough: the Wax Cell and Prophet's Ascent quests, each of which has one picture, are mutually exclusive.

The images below are taken directly from the game while interacting with the picture; these images are not necessarily particularly clear, as not all pictures are well-lit, and in many cases are seen at an angle, rather than head-on.

* Vulture's Nest
	+ In Hyne's room in the Sleeping Quarters
	+ On the wall in Riebel's office
	+ On the wall above the lit desk in Redden's room
	+ To the left of Darsye, who's sitting in the Quartermaster's room
* Checkpoint B-10/2
	+ Near one of the explosive charges in the tunnels. To find it, go upstairs and left from the area where you were first attacked; once you've dealt with the enemies here, follow the path and the picture is on the right.
* Zone D-96
	+ On entering the room with the Rupture, go left: the picture is near a purple toxic pool. Beware of the nearby "dogs".
* Crematorium
	+ When in the room with the Orruns during On the Verge of Despair, the picture is above a desk near a corpse that is being examined
* Reservation D-106
	+ On the wall in Livye's office
	+ In Thyper's Shelter on the upper level: immediately opposite the entrance is a generator; repair this (which requires 20 Capacitors, 20 Simple Parts and the Mechanics 2 skill) and follow the only path. Just to the left of the exit door is this picture.
	+ There are two pictures in Zarden's room during the Ghosts of the Past quest.
	+ In Opherod's room, on the wall opposite his television set
	+ In Zers Morakh's room, to the right of the vault door
	+ In the Prophet's Ascent quest (which is only available if you side with Opherod), the picture of Borka Morakh in his mausoleum
	+ In Doctor Groph's room, where Darat is being treated
* Zone B-27
	+ On the wall in the field headquarters, where you meet Riebel for The Lower Depth
	+ In the left-hand residential room of the upper level during the quest The Lower Depth
* Wild Grove
	+ Found near Meliba and the other hunters, at the other end of the room, in The Hunt Begins
* Gralem Hall
	+ On the right-hand wall in the side office from the gallery, on the way down from the entrance to the ground floor
	+ Another just on the left of the door as you go in to meet the Antiquist
* Square of Glory
	+ On the wall in Gobse's office in Liquid Sky
	+ In the Wax Cell quest (which is only available if you side with Zers), in the room where you find Scuffler, on the right of the door as you enter
* Tunnel B-52/79S
	+ Leaning against the wall opposite Vathos during the Nothing Personal quest
* Sulfur Geyser
	+ From the entrance, take the first right and follow the path to go through a hackable door; at the far end of the passageway, the picture is concealed by a refrigerator.
* Casino Amakord
	+ There's a picture on the right, immediately through the first door
	+ When you enter the upper floor of the Casino itself, turn left: there's a picture above tables set out with drinks
* Antique shop
	+ You can interact with the picture behind the Antiquist
* Abandoned zone H-27/55
	+ On your way out of the location, you climb several flights of stairs to a door you have to hack. This seems to lead to the ticket office you passed near the start of All Flesh is Grass. There's a picture in another of the rooms here.
* Rusty arena
	+ Above the bed in the room where Dorma is having a bath.
* Old Eatery
	+ Seen during the interlude in an Old Snack Bar with Merchant Briggo. The picture is at the far end of the location, to the left, above a table with a lamp near a couple of Citizen Soldiers.

## Notes

You can interact with a Poster in Thyper's Shelter; it's not clear whether this counts as one of the pictures Estlund Ro has asked you to look at, though presumably not.
