Control Resonant Jesse Faden Collectible Locations

Director Jesse Faden is missing when the story begins, and the 13 Jesse Faden collectibles are the notes, reports, and echo videos she leaves behind for her brother. Ten are in Downtown, mostly in the Oldest House, and five unlock automatically as you finish key missions. If you expected this sequel to be called Control 2, Jesse is still at its heart, and the Downtown map of Jesse’s office in the Oldest House leads you to where her trail begins.

Vlad Susanu followed Jesse’s trail to the end for Map Master, and the Control Resonant story Archive maps link every other document set. Only eight are physical pickups, since the other five arrive on their own when a mission ends, so the set is mostly about knowing which rooms to search.

Jesse Faden Echoes That Unlock Automatically

Five records land in your Archive without any searching. I Have to Go arrives after the ritual in Orientation, and I’m Sorry, the last echo of Jesse, follows The House in Distress. The other three are videos from the Faults Dylan opens while looking for her, and the Underpass map of The Underpass Fault marks the one that ends with Before I Leave.

The other two Fault videos come earlier. I Feel It, where Jesse explains the choice she faces, closes The Subway Fault, which the Evacuation Zone map of the Subway Fault places. Repeating, Refracting, on her premonitions, closes The Incursion Fault, and the West Incursion Zone map of the garage where Shift unlocks marks where that Fault begins.

Jesse Faden Collectibles in Jesse’s Office

Three files are in Jesse’s office, and you pass it before you ever leave the Oldest House. It’s at the end of the corridor to Thomas Street, just after the elevator and the combat tutorial, and it has her ID, her Notes To Self, and a letter from Emily Pope to the Director. That’s nearly a quarter of the set in your first minutes.

Dylan’s side of the story runs through his own drawings and files. The Cat Picnic, one of the Dylan’s Sketchbook drawings, is signed “For Jesse,” and the Bureau’s case files on Dylan show how the FBC saw the two of them.

Jesse Faden Documents Behind the Level 1 and Level 2 Doors

Two files wait behind locked offices in the Executive Sector’s large hall, past Jesse’s office. The Memo On The Role Of The Director needs the Level 1 Keycard from Central, and the Contingency Protocol For HRAs needs the Level 2 Keycard Arish hands over during Evacuation Procedures.

The hall is one of the best single stops in the game. With Levels 1, 2, and 6, its six locked offices give up 13 Archive files from seven sets plus six Resource Crates, including Pope’s Research & Records notes on the Board and three Dr. Raya Underhill files behind Level 6.

The Last Jesse Faden Collectibles After The End

The final three only exist once the story is nearly over. Medical Report On The Director, a neurologist’s report on Jesse’s condition, appears in the Oldest House Lobby after The End and the fight with the Hedron, so check the Lobby whenever you pass through after that point.

The last two are in the P6 holding cell beside Jesse’s bed, which you visit during The Beginning, the final mission. Notes on ???? contains redacted theories about a disappearance, and the Incident Report: Jesse and Dylan Faden closes the set. The cell also has Aberrant, the final FBC Research & Records file, so search the whole room before you leave.

Jesse Faden Collectibles by Zone and in Story Order

Downtown has ten, and the Evacuation Zone, the West Incursion Zone, and the Underpass have one each, all of them Fault videos. Five unlock automatically, three are in Jesse’s office, two need a keycard, and three wait for the ending, so the keycard pair is the only one that needs a planned return trip.

Nothing in the set is missable, because the Oldest House, the keycard offices, and the P6 holding cell all stay open after the credits. Every echo and document you unlock can be replayed from the Archive, so once the set is complete, you can follow Jesse’s story from her office to the holding cell in order.
