Control Resonant Mysterious Dogs and Their Toys

Vlad Susanu found every dog and every toy while playing for Map Master, so the pins mark both halves of each encounter. For the rest of the city’s side activities, start from our Control Resonant interactive world map, and use this page for which dogs need which power, and what the quest pays.

How Every Dog Has Her Day Works: Dog, Toy, Basket

Every encounter follows the same three steps: find the dog, find her dragon toy nearby, and drop it in her basket. The toy is usually on a neighboring rooftop or in the street below, and most returns also pay an Undefined Reading on the spot.

The Downtown dog is the only one whose spawn depends on a quest, since she appears after Welcome to Manhattan starts and returning her toy adds the quest to your log. If you want the Bureau’s view of her, the Encounter Report: Strange Dog, one of the Crisis Containment documents in Central, is a Paranatural Encounter form about a mysterious dog.

Mysterious Dogs You Can Reach Early: Downtown, Central, and The Park

Three dogs need no traversal power. Our interactive map of Central Manhattan has the Central dog on a roof south of the Vendor, with her toy in the alley below, where lasers and Hiss make the pickup the riskiest of the early three.

The Park dog is on a northeastern rooftop, but our map of The Park puts her toy higher up, on a roof reached by an exterior elevator. That elevator needs a Power Core first, so check our Power Core Station locations if it won’t move.

Mysterious Dogs Behind Shift: Evacuation Zone, West Incursion, Underpass, and Unknown

Shift, earned in The Incursion Fault, is the key to the other four dogs. The Evacuation Zone interactive map of Control Resonant has the strangest one, where you grab the toy and then flip the roof upside down to reach the basket, while the dog on our West Incursion Zone map for Control Resonant waits on a roof northwest of the Parking Garage.

In the Underpass, the dog is halfway up a stone pillar north of the Cable Car, and the Underpass map of Control Resonant places her toy on an inverted ceiling that needs both Shift and Reach. The Unknown map of Control Resonant locates the last dog near the Maharaja Cinema, and her toy, on a terrace halfway up an inverted building, has its own row in our Control Resonant Key Items.

Every Dog Has Her Day Rewards: The Final Gap Visit and a New Pet

There are seven dogs and eight encounters: one per zone, plus the final visit in the Gap. That last visit completes Every Dog Has Her Day, unlocks the Dog’s Best Friend trophy in our Control Resonant trophy checklist, and rewards the Trusted Spanner, one of the Untapped Artifacts in Control Resonant.

You keep her as a pet, and once The End is finished and Hedron is beaten, she moves into Dylan’s Apartment in the Unknown. No dog is missable, so start with the three early dogs, then save the other four for a single Shift sweep once Reach is unlocked too.
