Control Resonant official cover art

Find the next route: objectives, gates and Gravity Anomalies

Quick answer

Manhattan is organised into zones. Access can depend on movement abilities, keys, cards or character trust. If a route is blocked, inspect the requirement and current objective before assuming that a difficult jump is the solution.

Reveal the area map

Turn the satellite dishes around the pylon, then activate the central pylon to reveal the area map. Use the world-feats and fast-travel guide for the longer exploration routine.

On screen: With the objective Help with the Mapping Pylon, the player crosses rooftops to satellite dishes on yellow-marked pads and turns each one; the area banner DOWNTOWN 2 then appears over the pylon platform while tutorial cards pop up on the right.

Work through a blocked route

  1. Check whether you are approaching an FBC checkpoint between zones or an obstacle within one.
  2. Inspect the current journal objective and any visible access requirement.
  3. Review the abilities, keys and access cards already acquired. Character trust can also affect how the world opens.
  4. If the requirement is missing, make a location note and follow an available lead rather than repeatedly attempting the same route.

Reorient in a Gravity Anomaly

Remedy names Reach as a traversal ability and Shift as a way to redirect movement in Gravity Anomalies. Tilted roofs or inverted roads can become traversable surfaces. West Incursion Zone is one revealed example of this changing orientation.

  1. Look for the surface that continues the path, including above or beside the apparent street.
  2. Use the movement ability introduced for the obstacle, then reassess orientation after landing.
  3. If you cannot reach it, return to the last safe position and check whether another ability is required.

Keep useful discovery notes

World Quests, bounties and collectibles are confirmed categories. This wiki covers six individual Mysterious Dog encounters, but exact district totals and missable deadlines remain unconfirmed. Hotfix 1.4.2 fixes the full dog quest’s missing Artifact reward; retroactive delivery excludes players who already entered NG+. The saved checklist does not represent total Manhattan completion.

For a future route, record the object’s name, a recognisable landmark, required abilities and the game version. A screenshot with no access context is not enough to support a reliable map pin.

Check a shop or garage before giving up

Arktix demonstrates breakable entrance barriers and a garage operated by a nearby destructible panel. Check for those features first. A clearance lock or ability gate still needs its own requirement.
