How to solve the Evacuation Zone art gallery secret in Control Resonant
Polygon published two gameplay guides for Control Resonant, offering tips for solving puzzles and optimizing character progression. The first guide addresses the Echo art gallery secret in the Evacuation Zone’s Könstig gallery, a hidden room puzzle similar to other secret hideouts in the game. The solution involves examining an Echo exhibition display and a desk note listing paintings sold that month. Successfully completing this puzzle rewards players with a health point pickup and additional lore collectibles found in a basement room.
The second guide covers weapon and combat ability selection during the prologue, when players must choose primary and secondary weapon forms alongside a combat ability. Three options are available for each category, though players cannot change their selections until reaching the end of the prologue. The game offers no universally optimal choice, with each weapon and ability suited to different playstyles. However, the game provides flexibility through reset items available in a location called the Gap, allowing players to reallocate individual weapons, combat abilities, or talents. Players need multiple reset items to completely rebuild their loadout, since each item only resets one category rather than the entire build.
