Find all available Masterpiece Sets and where to exhibit them
Oxide Games / Microsoft

Winning a campaign of Ara: History Untold requires you to obtain more Prestige throughout the match than any other civilization and you can pretty much generate these victory points with all things you can do in the game: Growing your cities, spreading your religion, deploying a large field army, and so on. One reliable way of generating Prestige later in the game are Masterpiece Sets.

Masterpieces are great works of art created by your Paragons, who’ve been assigned to special buildings. Similar to Civilization 6, Ara: History Untold allows you to exhibit these creations in your museums and other buildings as part of Masterpiece Sets, which generate Prestige every single turn. Collecting Masterpieces over the course of the game to be able to fill out as many of these sets as possible, once they are available, is a powerful play to make a late game charge up the rankings.
