By following this guide you should be able to get 100% achievements in Control Ultimate Edition.

This guide is quite big and can be hard to navigate. You can use search option in any browser (including Steam client) by simply pressing combination CTRL+F.


First of all, enjoy the game. There are no missable achievements and you can get what you missed after you finish the game.

As upgrades go I recommend that you upgrade your Launch ability and Energy capacity first adding a bit of Health upgrades here and there.

Launch is powerfull ability and will be your main weapon agains enemies.

To get all achievements you will need to play through all Story Missions (10 in total) and all Side Missions (18 in total).

Side missions will grant you Ability Points for upgrades and some will unlock new abilities.
I highly reccomend playing those missions as soona s they are available:

A Good Defense - Shield Ability (check out Insular Telekinesis Achievement)
A Merry Chase - Evade Ability (check out Shifting Positions Achievement)
A Captive Audience - Seize Ability (check out Psychic Occupation)

There are 250 collectibles in the main game. To get all related achievements you only need 120.
There will be no video here because you should be able to get that 120 with ease. Some collectibles you get automatically by defeating enemies, some by entering an area and the rest lays all around. Every time you see a dot indicate interaction that's probably a collectible.

While on a mission "My Brother’s Keeper" you will run into gent Phillip staring at Refrigerator. He's on the fourth floor of the Panopticon in the Containment sector. He'll ask for your help but you must finish your mission first. After you find Dylan's cell go back to Phillip and talk to him. Than go talk to
Langston, Panopticon Supervisor. He'll open door to Refrigerator.
While clensing it you will meet FORMER in the Astral Plane.

Aim at his glowing eye. He will throw some black energy balls at you that you can catch and Launch back at him. He will also try to hit you with his arms. This attack is easy to avoid but it will most likely destroy the floor and it's super easy to fall in that hole. SO start your evasion at one side of the arena and always evade in the same direction.

In Logistics sector you will find soldier named Horowitz. He will ask you to find his friend.
Go through the Oceanview Motel to new area and help his friend.
In motel you have to set clocks in rooms to the same time as clock in reception.

Unlocks after completing “Fridge Duty”.
You have to cleanse 4 Altered Items.

Japanese Paper Lantern

First you have to play through the “A Matter of Time” Side Mission to get acces to this area.
Lantern is among clocks in one of the rooms.

Traffic Light

It's on 4th floor of the Panopticon. Move when the light is green, stop and don't move on yelow and red.

Hand Chair

In the Medical Wing (Containment sector) there is a room full of Mold. Chair is there on the ceiling, attack it to get in downit and cleanse it.

Moving Letters

In Dead Letters in Executive sector. Use my video to get their locations.

After part 1 you will get another set of items to cleans

Flamingo

Use Levitate and Evade to fly through the holes. While cleansing it you will be taken to Astral Realm to face FORMER for the second time. Strategy is the same as before.

Mannequin

It's located in Prime Candidate Program. After interacting with it you will have to find it in this area now covered in bunch of mannequins. My video shows location of the one you seek.

Rubber Duck

There's a secret passage that will get you to the Rubber Duck. It will vanish and you'll have to find it. It quacks rather loudly so it shouldn't be a problem. Chase it around using evade.

Speakg with Ahti in his office as part of Mission 3 “Directorial Override”. He will give you a series of Side Missions as you progress through the game. You can find them on coarkboard.

This mission will be availble later in the game. Check the coarckboard regullary.
In this mission you must find and talk to 6 plants in Central Research.

Very simple mission.
Go to the Water Pumps and to a small side room.
Solve power puzzle and shoot some tentacles.

This mission will be availble later in the game.
Go to the Medical Wing in Containment sector and shoot 6 Mold growths.

This mission will be availble after compleating Clear the Mold Side Mission.
Go to the NSC Coolant Pumps in Maintnance and shoot anothe 6 Mold growths.

Just sit down and relax, you'll get the Janitor's Assistant outfit.

Altered Manifestations May Occur - Defeat esseJ



To start this Side Mission you need Mirror Supplement file that can be found on your way to Prime Candidate Program in a guard station.

To get to the Mirror you must open some shutters on both sides of the corridor. Camera feed will tell you which one should be opened (or watch my video).
In mirror dimension you will have to fight esseJ, your mirror self.
I hid behind the wall on the left side of the room and shoot her from there.

After mission 6 "A Brother’s Keeper" go talk to Emily in the Board Room, then go talk to Arish. He'll ask you to find his friends.

You can find this mission in abandoned elevator shaft in Central Research. It's that big hole with mold all around it. You will need Clearance Level 4 to get there to Dr. Underhill but you will need Levitate for boss fight.
Finishing this mission will grant you modl immunity.

You get this mission after completing Old Growth side mission.
You will be asked to kill some Mold Hosts around the Research Department.

Head of Communications - Defeat Mr. Tomassi



After you finish Mission 7 “The Face of the Enemy” talk with Emily Pope.
This is your second and final fight with Mr. Tommasi. This time you will fight in a big arena with little cover. I found that fighting him Obi-Wan Kenobi styl (having higer ground) works best.
At top level you can find some cover and you should be safe from soldiers at the bottom. They will find their way up though so be carefull.
Max out your Launch ability to make this fight easier.

Living Archetypes - Defeat the Anchor


To unlock this side mission you neet to compleate A Matter of Time side mission first.

To get to the anchor you need Levitate ability so you will probably need to progres a bit in the main story if you don't have it yet.

Fight itself is not very hard.
Anchor is shielded all around but it will open iot shield spit clocks. This is a great opportunity to deal a lot of damage and cancel it's attack. Charge with some blast radius upgrades also works when fired from the side in to it's "mouth".
After you deal some damage additional enemies will start to spawn so clear them quickly as they can easily distract you and Anchor will surprise you with it's attac dealing massive damage or even killing you.

After mission 6 take Jukebox Token lying on the table near Central Executive Control Point and talk to Arish. Then complete Tier 1 expedition.
Check out my strategy in Expedition Gear Outfit down below.

This is the first fight with Me. Tomassi.
Hide behind the pillar to get a cover from his attacks and shoot him down while launching stuff at soldiers helping him.

After you finish Mission 7 “The Face of the Enemy” talk with Emily Pope.
This is your second and final fight with Mr. Tommasi. This time you will fight in a big arena with little cover. I found that fighting him Obi-Wan Kenobi styl (having higer ground) works best.
At top level you can find some cover and you should be safe from soldiers at the bottom. They will find their way up though so be carefull.
Max out your Launch ability to make this fight easier.

You will run in to this enemy first time during Old Boys' Club Mission. You can't kill him so you have to trap him. Get inside that big hangar and seal the exit. When Astral SPike gets close to you shoot him to stun him and quickly seal him inside.

You will run in to this enemy first time during Threshold mission.
He will disappear and attack from hiding.
Grab some stuff with Launch ability and just as it attacks launch items at him at him and at the same time avoid his attack if case you fail to be quick enough. If hit monster will stop his attack and dissapear again.

Hide behind some cover and use your gun and Launch ability do tefeat her.
If she fires a rocket you can grab her with Launch if you have upgrade for grabbing grenades and rockets.

Anchor is shielded all around but it will open iot shield spit clocks. This is a great opportunity to deal a lot of damage and cancel it's attack. Charge with some blast radius upgrades also works when fired from the side in to it's "mouth".
After you deal some damage additional enemies will start to spawn so clear them quickly as they can easily distract you and Anchor will surprise you with it's attac dealing massive damage or even killing you.

Levitate to avoid it's attacks and keep Launching explosive rocks at him.
If you run out of energy shoot it with your gun but mainly use Launch ability.
I highly recommend upgrading it to the max level as soon as possible.

You will run into Salvador during My Brother's Keeper Main Mission.
He will protect himself with a shield and throw stuff at you.
Attacking him with Launch will destroy his shield and leave him open for attacks for a short time.

Not really a boss fight but somehow it fits in this section.

In red level avoid touching the ground. Standing in shadow should be fine.
In phase two you must fight your way through a bunch of enemies.

To get this outfit you have to compleate Expedition Tier 3.

Expeditions are special timed missions avaible in Jukebox. You will need special Jukebox Tokens to activate them, tier 1 costs 1 token, tier 2 costs 2 tokens and tier 3 costs 5 tokens.
After mission 6 you will find one token on the table near Central Executive Control Point. Pick it up and talk with Arish.
Additional tokens drop from enemies and can be crafted. Also succeeding on expedition will refund your tokens.

No mather what tier you play area and tasks you have to do will always be the same so my strategies below aplay to all tiers.

Each time you activate expedition there will be some kind of modifier in play. If you have a lot of tokens you can abandon the expedition at Jukebox to randomly generate a new set of modifiers.

If you die on expeditionyou will respawn at the start of Formation (area of expeditions). This can be used to your adventage. If you die AFTER comleating all objectives in given area you can save some time.

There are 4 areas that must be compleated. Going from the right as you start

Area 1 - cleanse 3 satellite dishes, avoid enemies and run straight for satelite dishes, defend there. You cleans them by standing on them for a short time.

Area 2 - fight 3 waves of enemies. I like to hide on a left side of this small arena launching stuff at enemies.

Area 3 - recover biometric logs - you must recover biometric logs from 3 dead soldiers. Look for beeping and blinking bodies. One is always straigh from where you came.I recommend that you locate all bodies before interacting with them. As soon as you try to grab a log enemies start spawning. It's not necessary to fight them but you can kill few to get some healing if needed. After you take third log fall down from the edge, this will teleport you to the begining of this area.

Area 4 - burn hiss nodes. Enemies will start spawning after you gram a node or after few seconds in this area so you can use this time to locate nodes - that red, glowing cubes. Grab them and launch at the furnace. Don't waste your time on enemies as they will continue to spawn endlessly.

Boss Fight

After compleating all 4 areas return to the starting location. Now you have to face the boss of Formation - Distorted Tourist.
I found an easy way to defeat this boss. Jump on the tower remains and then levitate on one of the lamps. He won't be able to his you there. Use Charge with some blast upgrades to damage him and force him to drop his invisibility. Use that opening for Launch attacks.

Available after you defeat esseJ in Self-Reflection side mission.

Easy to get as it's on your way while on "The Face of the Enemy" mission.

This one is important one a sit gives you 2 ability point needed for Master Parautilitarian achievement.

To get this outfit you need clearance level 5 to get to thew roulette room in Luck and Probability department.

Once here you need to score 7 on roulette wheel and to do this follow those steps:


1 - turn on 4 lamps
2 - make sure balls are not moving
3 - horseshoe must be faceing upwards
4 - Cat must be waving
5 - transfer clover to the roulette room
6 - move gold fish to the red carpet
7 - spin the weel and step out of the carpet

You'll get this as a reward for completing side mission What a Mess: Take a Break

Rewarded for completing main story.

Rewarded for completing main story.

In-depth Investigations - Find 80% of the Collectibles in the Investigations Sector


As in main game you only need 80% of all collectibles so it shouldn't be a problem. Some are preatty well hidden but in obviouse places. There are 5 or more in the last area so if you miss 5 or so for achievement before final boss battle don't worry.

If you missed it, here's the location of Coark Board with all Another Fine Mess side missions.

Quick walkthrough for Return to Sender Side Mission that you can unlock by picking up a letter from the tubes near AWC Loading Bay Control Point. First copy it 3 times, then sent those copies out and find and cleans Altered Item to finish this mission.

This mission will unlock automatically after your encounter with Hartman in Fra Mauro AWE.
I'm not sure if you have to give him those two items found near the prison cell so you can skip that part and go straight for the helmet. It's at the start of the level protected by some named enemy.

This mission will unlock automaticaly as you finish encounter with Hartman in Eagle Limited AWE
Get inside the train and interact with items in this order:

Briefcase
Driver's hat
Violin
Meal
Hammer
Scrap

Airborne Rangers are new type of enemies. Kill 25 for this achievement.

Vending Spree - Destroy 80% of the Altered Vending Machine instances


Every vending machine in Investigations has a chance to turn alive. It will turn red wen damaged and will start running away from you. You have kill 4 of those.
It can be a bit annoying as it's a random event but turns out you can farm those machines.
Simply find few good spots with 2-3 machines nearby and teleport from one spot to another. If machines stop respawning simply quit to menu, load, and start your run again.

Farming Guide

Familiar Methodologies - Fight off Hartman



Put Power Cores in sockets.
Note that while in darkness your energy will be slowly depleting.

There are some buttons on the left side, fortunately in those lighted areas.
Use those buttons to move the light mounted on the crane. You must burn the darkness covering two power cores and place those power cores in sockets. Placing one in the lower socket will activate another light that will burn the darknes from the upper one.

Move train wagon across the hall. Use cranes light to move safely between platforms.

Your goal here is to put 4 Power Cores in Sockets. Power Cores are protected by some Hiss Nodes and few enemies. You will loose energy on darkness so move fast from light to light. Also, every time you remove a Power Core a light will go out making things slightly harder.
After you get all four Cores push the button and the fight is over.

This is your final battle with Hartman.
Phase I - First phase is easy, just put all power cells in sockets and turn on the lights.
Phase II - In phase two you have to fight Hartman. He has a powerful melee attack that heals him if he hits you. He also teleports all around so stay away from him. He also has two ranged attacks that he telegraphs by glowing red. One is a short range blast and second is a long range missile attack.
Phase III - After you bring down his health bas he will knock out two power cells from random sockets so you have to put them back. He will be shielded from your attacks so don't bother.
Phase IV - it's the same as Phase II.

Subterranean Research - Collect all Collectibles in the Foundation




WARNING - This achivement is buggy.
It is highly probable that after collecting all collectibles from my video and all automatic unlocks you will be missing one - Hotline record called Out of Options. Luckily there is a workaround.
First make sure this is in fact the collectible you are missing. There's a checklist for your convenience below.
To be safe finish all other achievements for the entire game before trying this.
Backup your save files. Contro's Steam saves are stored in \Steam\userdata<whatever_big_number>\870780\remote.
From menu go to mission select and start from End Game mission.
Go to Foundation and through the first cave. Achievement should unlock after first Marshal communication through the Hotline.
Now go to Main Menu, DO NOT EXIT GAME, switch back your backed up saves and hit continue. You should be where you finish your playthrough (still missing that one Hotline collectible though).
If you're not where you finished, turn of your connection to the internet, exit game, wait for Steam cloud synch to fail and turn internet back on. Delete your save files from Steam folder, start the game and it should load saves from the cloud.

Now, for the collectibles.
This video contains all collectibles that must be picked up. There are automatic unlocs and you will have to finish all side missions to get those.

You will be asked to pick one new ability Shape or Fracture. I picked Shape, another ability you will receive after performing second ritual. I recommend to take Shape if you want to easily follow my video, otherwise order in witch you will be picking up collectibles may be different.
But don't worry, none are missable and you can get them after you finish this DLC.
