Type of trophy: Silver

How to unlock: Use Shape and Fracture a combined total of 100 times

Comment: Shape and Fracture are the names of the new powers that Jesse gains while completing the second story mission The Nail. This trophy is very easy as it does not force you to use Shape or Fracture to attack enemies. New powers can be used in any circumstances:

Shape allows you to pull out ledges and platforms from the walls and activate traps.
Fracture allows you to shatter black crystals.

You can use these powers in any location you choose, even in the same place by repeating the same actions (e.g. by destroying the same crystals or pulling out the same ledge).

Hostile Work Environment

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: Kill 50 Hiss Sharpened Agents.

Comment: skillful Hiss Sharpened is the name of a new variation of the usual opponents which can be encountered in The Foundation DLC expansion to Control. The easiest way to recognize them is that they are able to move extremely quickly, for example, avoid an attack or get close to Jesse.

There's a good chance that you'll earn this trophy after taking care of the game's main and side quests, and while finding secrets. If that's not the case, then simply return to locations where enemies are respawned. There's a good chance that in every major battle, there will be a few Hiss Sharpened agents.

Rush Job

Type of trophy: Silver

How to unlock: Kill 100 enemies with Shield Rush

Comment: This is one of the more time-consuming trophies of this DLC. Try to unlock Shield Rush as early as possible, and you must first purchase your previous abilities. The skill itself requires 4 development points.

Shield Rush is activated by attaching the curtain (hold L1/LB on the controller) and then activating the Dodge (press Circle/B) on the controller - Jesse should move straight ahead without turning the shield off. The rammed opponents will receive severe injuries. Unfortunately they are not that high, so:

Purchase an upgrade for the Shield Rush skill, which increases the damage it inflicts.
Weaken your opponents first with firearms and then ram them.
Look for opportunities to kill ordinary enemies with low health. You don't have to kill enemies only in the Foundation DLC. You can also reach locations from the primary campaign and from the second DLC add-on - AWE.

Niche Position

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: Find all hidden locations in the Foundation.

Comment: secret locations have been listed in a separate chapter of our guide called Hidden locations. There is a total of 10 that can be discovered. It is best to find them only after completing the Nail mission, as discovering some of them requires Shape and Fracture abilities.

Subterranean Research

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: Collect all Collectibles in the Foundation

Comment: Collectibles are just all secret items. We have listed the locations of all types of collectibles the collectibles & secrets chapter of our guide - they are all kinds of documents and recordings. It is best to find them only after completing the Nail mission, as collecting some of them requires Shape and Fracture abilities.

Supportive Staff

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: Your Rangers must kill 5 enemies.

Comment: The perfect location to earn this trophy is the Data Entry and Filing room located on the premises of the Collapsed Department.

Before entering the shown room, you will find a terminal used for calling reinforcements - Control The Foundation: Trophies - Appendix - Control Guide

Before entering the shown room, you will find a terminal used for calling reinforcements. After using it, one friendly ranger will appear.

After entering the Data Entry and Filing room, a large battle begins - Control The Foundation: Trophies - Appendix - Control Guide

After entering the Data Entry and Filing room, a large battle begins. It is a good idea to help the Ranger by weakening the opponents he is currently attacking. The game only takes into account who killed the particular opponent.

If you don't earn the trophy at the shown location, you can find other terminals later in the game or return to the same location later on by using the fast travel. In addition to just respawned enemies you will get access to another terminal in order to summon a companion.

One of Us

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: collect all maneki-neko statues.

Comment: Maneki-neko figurines are one of the types of collectibles and we have described them in detail on a separate page of the guide. There is a total of 8 figurines that can be found, and after all of them have been found, you must additionally reach a secret room in the collapsed department section. The game unlocks the trophy after you enter the secret chamber with cats.

Star Performance

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: complete side mission called Jesse Faden starring in the Swift Platform episode.

Comment: Check our walkthrough to find out how to complete the Jesse Faden starring in the Swift Platform episode side quest. As a reminder, this quest can be unlocked at the Transit Access location and consists in chasing an object of power that's running away.

Astral Plumbing

1 - Control The Foundation: Trophies - Appendix - Control Guide

Trophy type: bronze

How to unlock: discover the toilet in the astral plane.

Comment: it's an easy trophy that you can get even without reading its description, simply by carefully exploring the area. The astral toilet is located on the site of the Collapsed Department. You can get there for the first time while completing the main task - The Nail.

When you open the right toilet, you will notice that it is partially in the astral plane. You don't have to examine the place thoroughly because the game will unlock the trophy straight away.
