Managing health effectively is a fundamental priority for players diving into Remedy Entertainment\u2019s action RPG, Control Resonant. Because staying alive against punishing enemies and unpredictable resonants requires a reliable health pool, players must actively track down special items known as health upgrade points rather than simply relying on traditional character statistics. Collecting three of these upgrade points directly increases the protagonist Dylan’s maximum health, making exploration and thorough map-clearing critical components of the core gameplay loop.<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

Health upgrade points are predominantly concealed inside large resource crates scattered throughout the expansive map of Control Resonant. Most notably, these crucial containers are cleverly disguised as ice cream stands, blending into the surreal environments of the game. While some crates sit openly next to vendors or along primary pathways, others are tucked away inside secret hideouts, requiring players to fully explore zones, solve intricate environmental puzzles, and occasionally wait until unlocking specific traversal abilities to reach them. As players progress through the game’s various sectors\u2014ranging from the urban sprawl of Downtown to the hazardous depths of the Underpass and beyond\u2014knowing where to look can mean the difference between survival and repeated defeat.<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

Downtown Zone Health Upgrades<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

The Downtown zone features five distinct health upgrade points, four of which can be acquired without advanced traversal tools. However, obtaining the final upgrade in this area requires the Reach ability, which is acquired later from the Evacuation Zone. The first health upgrade point is remarkably accessible, waiting for players during the prologue itself. Upon exiting the Oldest House, turning immediately right leads to the Urban Fresh Mart, where an ice cream stand holding the upgrade sits inside. <\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

Further exploration northwest of the Oldest House reveals the Atlantis Cafe. Inside, players must solve a puzzle by activating appliances in a specific sequence to uncover a secret hideout containing another ice cream stand. Heading east of the Oldest House allows players who have unlocked the Elevate ability to scale a brick building, finding an upgrade on its southernmost rooftop. Another easily missed health upgrade point rests in an alleyway southwest of the "Outside the Oldest House" fast travel door, positioned right next to a vendor. Finally, utilizing Reach on the balcony at Lookout Point and gliding across rooftops to a southern island uncovers the fifth Downtown upgrade on a remote southern corner.<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

Central Zone Health Upgrades<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

Advancing into the Central zone introduces six more health upgrade points, giving players enough resources to double their maximum health over the course of exploration, though one remains tied to main story progression. As players exit the Underground Supply Route, a subway station storefront houses the first upgrade in this sector. Another can be found by entering the Urban Fresh Mart located northwest of the Field Office.<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

The Central zone also features puzzle-based hidden caches. Entering the Wear’Em & Wash’Em Laundromat northwest of East Park Station requires players to decipher a note and operate washing machines according to specific numerical cues. Completing this puzzle opens a secret hideout containing a health upgrade point. Additional upgrades are located near a vendor southeast of the Patterned Factory and deep within the factory itself, where clearing red masses off pipes reveals a barred door that players can reach by taking a left fork in a nearby sewer tunnel. The final Central upgrade becomes available during the "Power Lines" main quest at the Field Office Station, where utilizing a tuning device and transferring electricity between power cores grants access to a hidden chamber.<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

West Incursion Zone Health Upgrades<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

The West Incursion Zone contains four health upgrade points, most of which are locked behind the Shift traversal ability learned inside the Parking Garage fault. While the Parking Garage upgrade can technically be acquired early, waiting until the fault is completed streamlines the process. By flying over Hiss spikes in an alleyway northwest of the map pylon, players will discover a vendor with an ice cream stand nearby. <\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

Completing the Parking Garage fault and exiting the area naturally leads players to a glowing ice cream stand along the roadway. Another upgrade awaits in the southeast road’s Urban Fresh Mart, where inputting a soda dispenser code into a cash register unlocks a secret area. Lastly, venturing into the resonant within the West Incursion Zone leads to Empire Avenue Station, where the Jumpin’ Joe’s Books & Comics Galore store shelters another health upgrade.<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

Evacuation Zone and The Park<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

Four health upgrade points are scattered throughout the Evacuation Zone, including one that technically bridges into The Park. Near the "Main Street" fast travel door, players can visit the K\u00f6nig Art Gallery to solve a puzzle revealing a secret hideout, or check a vendor situated directly to the east. Progressing through the "Evacuation Procedures" main story quest naturally places another upgrade on the path during the 12th-floor scaffolding platforming sequence. Completing the Subway fault and exploring the area near the "Patterned Metro Tunnels" fast travel door uncovers the final Evacuation Zone upgrade down a blue-doored side path.<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

Meanwhile, The Park holds at least three health upgrade points. After consuming three molds and passing through a moldy gate at the bottom of a pit, players will stumble upon an upgrade along the path to the resonant. Navigating a parking garage on the northeast side of The Park and scaling a giant mold wall leads to a rooftop vendor with another upgrade. In the southeast corner of The Park, an Atlantis Cafe puzzle requires players to log the table orders for tables 1, 5, 4, and 2, inputting the correct letters into the cash register to open a secret hideout.<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

Underpass and Unknown Zones<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

The hazardous Underpass zone currently houses two confirmed health upgrade points. Upon first arriving in the Underpass, following glow sticks and gliding over red Hiss spikes near a wall of desks leads to a vendor and upgrade component. Later, after climbing the Spire into a white area with black pillars, players can branch off from the first save point toward a floating island in the distance, following a path of debris straight to the upgrade.<\/p>\n

\"Health<\/figure>\n

Finally, the Unknown zone contains two late-game health upgrade points that require puzzle solving and completion of the main narrative. Located on what is technically the ceiling relative to the Oldest House, the Pulse Fitness Gym sits at the edge of a chasm. Solving its puzzle involves operating a stationary bike and treadmill at varying speeds while interacting with a vending machine between sets to open a secret hideout. The ultimate health upgrade point rewards players who complete the main story and achieve the highest score on the arcade machine located inside Dylan’s newly acquired apartment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
