Remedy Entertainment wants you to upgrade and experiment with Jesse Faden’s abilities. In order to upgrade your abilities, you need to get as much ability points you can. You can get these points by completing different missions as well as accessing hidden locations. Our Control Hidden Locations guide is here to explain how to get access to Hidden Locations in Control.

Control Hidden Locations

Many of the ability points can be gained via side missions and main missions. However, Hidden Locations in Control are a great way to max out Jesse’s abilities. There are over a dozen Hidden Locations, if there are more, we will update this guide.

Each location gives you one ability points which means you can get over a dozen from just accessing these locations. Getting all abilities unlocked not only makes you powerful but also lands you the Master Parautilitarian achievement.
