CONTROL Resonant Recursions and Iterations — Reach Soft-Lock Fix
Quick answer: Recursions and Iterations sends you into the Underpass after the Sinkhole arc. If you soft-lock at a glowing gap / orange-pipe island, you need Reach from The Subway Fault (Evacuation Zone). Then finish The Underpass Fault if required and continue power / Grist / final probe. Not a bug. Unofficial companion.

Get Reach — The Subway Fault
- Requires Shift (Incursion Fault) first.
- Evacuation Zone → Railyard Street Station / subway distortion (northeast Evac).
- Traverse mold tunnels / phantom trains → CRT / Jesse ritual.
- Unlock Reach (grapple to glowing points).
The Underpass Fault (orange pipes)
During Recursions you may get “investigate Jesse on the island of orange pipes.” Leave, finish Subway Fault, return via The Spire / Tubes Island approach, clear the mold chamber, jump the glowing platform into the Fault. Completing it advances Notes: Jesse Sightings.
Finish Recursions after Reach
- Cross the Halfway Trail Reach gap back to the research beacon.
- Restore power for Ayad (carry charges), find Grist, defend the transmission tower.
- Cable-car / chasm crossing → follow relay beacons → place the final probe relay in the Deepest Underpass (activate until the tree reacts).
