CONTROL Resonant Platinum Trophy Roadmap — Interdimensional Protector
Panopticon Intern: Finish all six Altered Item side stories — Panopticon Service Request, The Party Won’t Stop, Complete Set, A New Directive, Valley of Death, Freeze Frame. Dog trophy: Every Dog Has Her Day.
Threshold Researcher / testing facilities: Shut down all FBC Testing Facilities in Unsupervised Science (Broadway, Downtown Reade, etc.) plus related Threshold work / Last Taxi. Backroom Espionage: all 6 secret hideouts.
Panopticon Intern: Complete the Altered Item chain — Panopticon Service Request, The Party Won’t Stop, The Complete Set, A New Directive, and Freeze Frame. Psychic Domination / Breaker: unlock Command from the Unknown Resonant, then Command a Breaker → Breaker guide. Threshold Researcher: Testing Facilities + Last Taxi. Backroom Espionage: all 6 Secret Hideouts (incl. gym puzzle).
Quick answer: CONTROL Resonant’s Platinum is Interdimensional Protector — earn the other 49 trophies. Expect about 40–50 hours (faster with Assist Mode), one playthrough, fully offline. Difficulty doesn’t matter; NG+ is not required. Free-roam after the story covers mop-up. Unofficial companion — roadmap distilled from PowerPyx / community trophy guides.
This is the short roadmap. For line-by-line trophy text, see PowerPyx; for collectible routes stay on collectibles cleanup and Secret Hideouts.
Roadmap at a glance
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Difficulty | ~3–4/10 (Assist Mode makes combat trivial and still unlocks trophies) |
| Time | ~40–50 hours normal · ~30–40 with heavy Assist |
| Playthroughs | 1 minimum |
| Missables | Essentially none — permanent saves after main quests act like chapter select. Semi-watch: karaoke choices in The Party Won’t Stop (Be What You Want to Be) |
| Hardest cluster | Graffiti Artist — all Resonants + story so the Gap Mural completes |
Step 1 — Finish the story (~20–30 hours)
Push the three intertwined tracks: Contain the Crisis, Search for Jesse (traversal), and Defeating Resonants. See zone order, missions list, and boss primers. Grab Health (“Clown Box”) and Power (“Metal Box”) upgrades on the main path — you need a dozen of each for progression trophies, and the critical path usually supplies enough.
Step 2 — Side stories & collectibles (~20 hours)
These trophy chains are the real mop-up. Our companion already covers several:
- Dog’s Best Friend — Every Dog Has Her Day (8 dogs + Gap finish)
- Threshold Researcher — Testing Facilities + Last Taxi (7 taxis)
- Freeze Frame / Instant Photos — cameras (also feeds Panopticon Intern set)
- Panopticon Intern — set of Altered Item side stories (Freeze Frame, Party Won’t Stop, Panopticon Service Request, Complete Set, A New Directive, Into the Valley of Death)
- Budding Analyst — Pope’s Research balloons (Unknown)
- Budding Mycologist — major Mold incidents (New Growth / Carbon Copy)
- Work-Life Balance — 11 Dylan Sketchbooks
- Backroom Espionage — 6 Secret Hideouts
- FBC Tasks — noticeboards (1 for Recruit, 20 for Diligent Consultant)
- Up to the Task — complete any World Feat (often automatic during story)
Archive documents/audio generally don’t matter for Platinum except Dylan’s Drawings / Sketchbooks.
Combat & craft cleanup
- Intense Precision — keep Dominance active 60 seconds (Assist One-Hit Falters helps).
- Psychic Domination — use Command (Unknown Resonant reward) on a Breaker enemy.
- Artifacts / Aberrant Strength — craft toward the ~30 Artifact trophy and Strength 100 via form skills; see Artifacts.
Useful options
Assist Mode (Settings → Assist) can enable immortality / one-hit kills without voiding trophies. Automatic Rush makes traversal less tedious. Profile slots on the title screen can be duplicated as soft backups.
