Control Resonant is not a game you can go into blind. Full of weird, wonderful and at times utterly bizarre encounters and quests, you’ll have to keep your head screwed on if you want to have a clue as to what’s really going on. That is definitely true of the quest in the early game titled ‘Crossing the Threshold’, and if you’re here, you’re likely struggling with figuring out exactly how to complete it. By the end of the guide, that’ll no longer be a problem and you’ll be on your way!
How to Complete Crossing the Threshold in Control Resonant
The first step is finding the quest! During the main story, Zoe will send you to the Field Office in Central, so you can grab a security card, but also as a place to go about your activities. Inside the main operating centre of the FBC outpost here is the Medical Centre, and after you’ve obtained the security card to be able to move a little more freely, you should head over there to it. Head inside and to the top floor, and then report the headless body to Zoe.
After a brief discussion about the weirdness of a randomly left, headless body, you’ll be in control of Dylan again, and able to move freely. Look to your left and report back to Zoe about the unopened locker. She won’t have the codes, but will direct you to the Security Station. It’s not well signposted, but this is the other building made of shipping crates directly opposite.
One click and you're done. Thank you!
Head there, and again to the top floor. In the backroom is a PC which will contain the code you need 0665, and now you can head back to the Medical Centre, and open up that locker. Once you do, another quick chat takes place and now you have two locations to investigate; the Dig Site Threshold and the Loading Docks.
Dig Site Threshold
The Dig Site Threshold is behind the Field Office, but to get to it, you’ll need to head down an alley covered in graffiti, until you emerge on the other side and see the Dig Site on your right, beneath you. Head on down and collect the various notes and tapes (which will explain a lot of what’s happening) that you can, and then report yet another headless body back to Zoe. Pick up the keycard next to the body, and then head up to the building door above you.
Open the door and pick up the Threshold Site Recording to gain even further explanation, and another chat with Zoe. Next up, we head to the Loading Docks.
Loading Docks
The Loading Docks are just in front of the Central cluster of buildings, in an alley nearby between the Field Office and the Central Supply Route Station. Hit the button on the building to open the shutter on the left, revealing another dead body with a exploded head, just like the first. Report both this and the Security Camera in the corner to Zoe, and then head back to the Security Station to view the footage.
On the same level of the Security Station as the earlier visit is another PC. Interact with it and watch the footage of what happened in the Loading Docks. Now, you’ll know what you’re up against, and we’re off to find Wilson at the Warehouse.
Wilson at the Warehouse
Now, you’ll need to head over to the Warehouse to find Wilson. Sounds easy in practice, but several big encounters stand between you and the Warehouse itself, so level up where necessary and make your way there.
When you arrive at the Warehouse, you’ll immediately be plunged into a chaotic and difficult boss battle with Linus. Depending when you’ve done this side mission, it’ll either be extremely difficult, or, if it’s later in the game and you’re a higher level, considerably easier. Either way, you’ll likely need help navigating this battle, so head over to our guide on bow to beat Linus in Control Resonant for that.
Atrer you’ve beaten Linus and cleared out the Warehouse, you’ll now be able to talk to Wilson. It turns out he’s not the perpetrator he was made out to be. After a longer chat explaining the actual situation with Wilson, you’ll now need to talk to Cox, or what was Cox, and become the new host of the entity. Now, we head back to the Dig Site one final time.
The Second Dig Site Visit
Retreat your steps back to the Dig Site and walk straight into the glowing Yellow square, and thus return AVP-3 back to its own dimension after the accident brought it here. And that is how you complete the Crossing the Threshold quest in Control Resonant. For your troubles, you’ll get the following rewards:
- Untapped Practice Knot
- Sensory Restraint Hood
