CONTROL Resonant Trophy Guide and Completion Roadmap

The efficient route to completion is not to clear every map icon the moment it appears. Finish the story while collecting the traversal tools, complete the side-story groups as their zones open, then use a targeted cleanup pass for zone levels, upgrades, collectibles, and combat conditions. The supplied platform guides list 50 PlayStation trophies including Platinum and 49 Steam achievements; the extra PlayStation item is the Platinum, not a different quest.

One warning deserves attention before any checklist: PlayStationTrophies' roadmap flags Be What You Want to Be during The Party Won't Stop in West Incursion as the one potentially missable choice-based trophy. It says an earlier save can recover it, but the safer approach is to make a manual checkpoint or confirm your save options before that story and follow its choice sequence. Do not assume every side story is equally replayable.

Phase 1: Story, movement and sensible upgrades

Follow the main walkthrough through Contain the Crisis, Jesse Sightings and the Resonant encounters. The Fault missions give movement tools that make later collections far easier. Reach from The Subway Fault and Shift from The Incursion Fault open routes that initially look inaccessible. Trying to force a collectible before these unlocks wastes time and can make a correct guide look wrong.

Spend enough upgrade resources to keep the campaign comfortable. A developed primary form, one complementary secondary, useful Combat Abilities, Health and Power upgrades, and Talents all help against late zones. The build guide explains why some permanent unlocks strengthen overall progression even when not equipped. Track the named boss fights with the boss overview; several feed trophies and ability slots.

Story-stage task	Why do it now?	Related guide
Complete the three Jesse Faults	Opens later story and cleanup routes	Abilities
Defeat each named Resonant	Story gates, combat powers and achievements	Bosses
Complete Pope's Research in Unknown	Required for travel through that area and a later ability slot	Walkthrough
Visit Wardrobes and equip an Accessory	Avoid leaving the simple Out of Uniform task to the final hour	Outfits

Phase 2: Finish side stories by category

Several trophies require an entire group, not one task. For Threshold Researcher, the roadmap lists Crossing the Threshold, The Last Taxi, and Unsupervised Science. The taxi story spans seven zones. Science has six facilities plus its concluding Threshold, so treat the quest log's actual completed state—not merely six interacted consoles—as the finish line.

Panopticon Intern requires five Altered Item stories. The cited roadmap includes Freeze Frame, The Complete Set, and The Party Won't Stop among them. This is another reason to deal with the West Incursion choice when you reach that zone. Budding Mycologist groups the three Carbon Copy parts and New Growth. A grouped checklist is more reliable than trying to infer progress from a single achievement pop-up.

For Dog's Best Friend, reunite the dog with her toy in all seven zones and return to The Gap for the final interaction. The route and the distinction between seven zone reunions and the final encounter are in the dog and toy guide. If the trophy does not appear after the seventh zone, that last visit is the first thing to check.

Phase 3: Zones, items and repeatable work

Goal	Documented requirement	Best way to combine it with other tasks
Diligent Consultant	Complete 20 FBC Tasks	Accept them while traveling for side stories and bosses
Field Control	Reach level 5 in every zone	Combine story, World Feats, Heavy Hiss, crates and tasks
Zone Warden	Unlock 40 Zone Upgrades	Spend earned Zone points instead of just accumulating them
Backroom Espionage	Visit every Secret Hideout	Sweep after movement unlocks
Work-Life Balance	Complete 11 Sketchbook instances	Check each zone during its final revisit
Form Over Function	Obtain 12 outfit items	Story and optional rewards usually cover this without every promotion
Astral	Collect 12 Power Upgrade Points	Testing Facilities from Science help significantly
Paranatural Artisan	Craft 30 Artifacts	Save materials and use rewards, vendors and blueprints during cleanup

The exact trigger can matter. “Unlock 40 Zone Upgrades” is not satisfied by merely earning 40 points; “craft 30 Artifacts” is not the same as holding 30 blueprints. The source roadmap explicitly leaves open whether crafting and dismantling the same Artifact repeatedly counts, so plan for 30 genuine crafts rather than exploiting an unverified loop. For 12 cosmetic items, use the outfit source table; promotional codes are optional alternatives, not required assumptions.

Phase 4: Deliberate combat and miscellaneous cleanup

Once your build is strong and the map is open, handle timing trophies in controllable encounters. The platform guide describes a challenge for three Perfect Dodges in six seconds. Unlock the Perfect Dodge Talent first, find a regular enemy with readable repeated attacks, and avoid overkilling it. Other conditions include Dominance, commanding a Breaker, visiting The Gap multiple times, and a SHÜM activity. Read the exact platform trophy text before attempting each because combat wording is easy to misremember.

A generous custom or Assist setting may make some tasks easier, but verify current platform behavior in game. The supplied guides were captured around launch, when balance and settings were still changing. Treat their hour estimates as planning ranges rather than a promise: a guided story route and full cleanup are very different undertakings.

If your completion percentage appears stuck

First distinguish an unfinished quest from an unclaimed trophy condition. A facility or speaker can be interacted with without completing its concluding quest step; the Science and Complete Set guides spell out those endings. Next check the grouped side stories and the final Gap dog interaction. Finally, compare your current in-game trophy list with your save—not a generic web list—because platform wording and patch behavior can differ.

For a focused next step, go back to the CONTROL Resonant guide hub and choose the exact quest, boss, or system holding up your run.
