Jump: three tracks · main story list · Jesse Faults · Resonants · side stories · Urban Survival / Heart Monitor · tips
Use with what to do first, then peel into Side Stories when you want Platinum mop-up. Story length primer: how long to beat.
The three main tracks
- Contain the Crisis — primary Manhattan story (Evacuation Procedures → Recursions and Iterations → Sever the Hedron Links → Rebuild → Fight to the Core → The End / epilogue The Beginning).
- Search for Jesse (Jesse Sightings / Faults) — Incursion Fault, Subway Fault, Underpass Fault — unlock Shift, Reach, and endgame routes.
- Defeating Resonants — one regional Resonant per zone except Evacuation Zone; all feed the Gap mural and platinum-style completion.
Order is flexible day-to-day, but Faults and Resonants often gate the next story beat. If markers dry up, open Jesse Sightings or the nearest Resonant — not a bug.
CONTROL Resonant main quest list (story missions)
Commonly published Contain the Crisis order (some guides count Notes: Plan of Attack separately, which is why you see 14 vs 15 story totals):
- Orientation — Oldest House → Downtown; early Fault / Rush; beat The Artist (ability pick).
- Welcome to Manhattan — supply route into Central (Power Core checkpoint sequence).
- Evacuation Procedures — Evac Building / Arish rescue.
- Arish’s Briefing — FBC Field Office, Central.
- Power Lines — restore stations — Power Lines guide.
- Into the Sinkhole — probe relays — Into the Sinkhole.
- Enemy of My Enemy — CFD defense; often wants several Resonants already down.
- Recursions and Iterations — Underpass research / Grist; can soft-gate on Reach (see Faults).
- The House in Distress — Oldest House Interactions Lab.
- The Hedron Link — rescue Pope; Hedron Parallel.
- Sever the Hedron Links — Unknown link sites (pairs with Pope’s Research).
- Rebuild — playable dump / slide sequence.
- Fight to the Core — approach the Hedron (Unknown).
- The End — final Hedron confrontation (last mission of the fight).
- The Beginning — epilogue with Jesse at the Oldest House; free roam continues after.
Search for Jesse — Faults / Jesse Sightings
Three Fault quests under Notes: Jesse Sightings. Prioritize them when they open — skipping blocks Theater / Underpass gaps.
| Fault | Where | Unlock |
|---|---|---|
| The Incursion Fault | West Incursion Zone (Parking Garage / roof route) | Shift (gravity walls) |
| The Subway Fault | Evacuation Zone subway (needs Shift) | Reach (grapple / pull) |
| The Underpass Fault | Underpass orange-pipe island (needs Reach) | Story progress (closes Jesse Sightings) |
Roadblock tip: During Recursions and Iterations, if the Underpass path stalls, finish The Subway Fault for Reach, then return via The Spire to clear The Underpass Fault.
Resonant boss quests
| Quest | Boss | Zone |
|---|---|---|
| Orientation / early story | The Artist | Downtown |
| The Central Resonant | The Deserter | Central (Patterned Factory) |
| The West Incursion Zone Resonant | The Dancer | West Incursion (Theater) |
| The Park Resonant | The Collective | The Park (Mold Gate) |
| The Underpass Resonant | The Physicist | Underpass / Astral Plane |
| The Unknown Resonant | The Co-Director | Unknown |
Ability rewards and fight tips: Resonant bosses · boss tips. Hedron is a separate endgame story boss, not this regional set. Evacuation Zone has no regional Resonant.
All CONTROL Resonant side quests / Side Stories
18 Side Stories sit beside the three main tracks. High-traffic ones link to full guides; others are listed so the Quest Log matches what you searched.

PowerPyx / press lists may spell the same 18 with slightly different start triggers. Your Quest Log’s Side Stories tab is the save-truth. Hideout puzzles are separate → Secret Hideouts.
Urban Survival & Heart Monitor
Answer: Urban Survival is the Evacuation Zone Side Story (often started from a file / trapped parking lot south of the zone). Completing it is the usual path to the Untapped Heart Monitor Artifact recipe — a one-time revive style effect when crafted in The Gap. Crafting details: Artifacts.
Practical play tips
- When markers dry up, open Jesse Sightings or the nearest Resonant.
- Unknown travel often wants Pope’s Research advanced alongside Sever the Hedron Links.
- Mission board / FBC Tasks and World Feats are optional/repeatable farm — not the 18 Side Stories. See World Feats and collectibles.
- Nothing major is permanently missable on typical trophy roadmaps (watch karaoke in The Party Won’t Stop) — mop up after The Beginning. Platinum overview: trophies.
