Control Resonant Elite Enemy Locations

Control Resonant has 49 Elite Enemies, named Apex Hiss, Mold, and Hedron fights spread across all eight zones. Only 16 are required by quests, while the rest come from Apex Hunt World Feats, failed Mockery feats, arcade final waves, and a handful of open-world guards. The Park has the most at 10, so the Park district map is the busiest stop in the sequel some players still look up as Control 2.

Map Master owner Vlad Susanu pinned all 49 while playing, and the rest of the game’s combat and collectible pages link from our Control Resonant interactive guide. The table pairs each name with its trigger, and below, the 49 are grouped by which you must fight, which you can skip, and where they cluster.

Elite Enemies You Must Fight: 16 Quest Encounters

William is the first, a Riveter Apex required to finish Welcome to Manhattan, and the Watchtower zone map places him in the Underground Supply Route. Central adds Linus during Crossing the Threshold and Sandra, a Mold Blight Apex, during Power Lines, while Eskil guards the top of the Spire in the Underpass Resonant quest.

The Evacuation Zone has the trickiest quest elites: Dan, Anne, and Michelle are invisible in the second room of Into the Sinkhole, and Maria at the bottom of the Sinkhole has a second phase where you lure Alfred along a red light’s path. The Evacuation Zone interactive overview has all nine of the zone’s elites.

The rest are story-bound too: Hannah in Carbon Copy: Part III, the three Specimens in New Growth, Tobias in the Unknown Resonant quest, and three Hedron elites, Factor, Parallel, and Proxy, in the unmapped areas behind the Hedron Links. The Unknown map with the Hedron Links pins the links that lead to them.

Apex Hunt Elite Enemies: 13 World Feat Targets

Thirteen elites exist only for Apex Hunt World Feats: Jan in Central, James in Downtown, Jamie in the Evacuation Zone, Theo, Fergus, and Oliver in The Park, Adam, Steven, and Timothy in the Underpass, and Martin, Mannie, Peter, and Justin in the Unknown. Each one completes a feat and adds Zone XP, as our World Feat locations by zone show.

The Downtown and Evacuation Zone hunts only appear after you beat the Dancer, the Resonant our West Incursion Zone theater map places at the theater, so if either hunt hasn’t appeared yet, the Dancer is the reason. Every Resonant kill also refreshes World Feats city-wide.

Elite Enemies You Can Skip: Mockery Spawns and Arcade Waves

Nine Mockery elites only spawn if you fail a Mockery World Feat, one each in Downtown, Central, the Evacuation Zone, The Park, the Underpass, and the Unknown, plus three in the West Incursion Zone. Destroy the flying objects before the timer runs out and the fight never starts.

Seven more appear only in the final waves of SHÜM cabinets, from Renn and Tim in the Evacuation Zone to Jackie and Patrick in The Park, all part of the SHÜM cabinet final waves. The last four are open-world extras: Lenny, who must fall before the Evacuation Zone’s nearby Hiss barriers drop, Leo guarding the West Incursion Map Kit, Viktorija after The Hedron Link, and Thomas below the northern Underpass Freeze Camera.

Elite Enemies by Zone and Their Archive Records

By zone, The Park has 10, the Evacuation Zone and the Unknown 9 each, the West Incursion Zone and the Underpass map with the Spire 7 each, Central 4, Downtown 2, and the Watchtower 1. By type, 35 are Hiss, 11 are Mold, and 3 are Hedron.

Beating the first Apex of a type unlocks its Archive record: Hiss Apexes fill our Hiss Research records, and Mold Apexes such as Sandra and Timothy fill the Mold Research set. The Central Manhattan overview and the Downtown map with the Oldest House have just six between them, so they’re quick to clear once the Dancer is down. The 16 quest elites can’t be skipped by accident, since the story won’t move on without them.
