Control Resonant Simon Arish Collectible Locations

Vlad Susanu, who founded Map Master, tracked all four through the story and its epilogue, and the Control Resonant character archive maps cover the zones they span. With a set this small, the hard part is knowing what makes each file appear, not finding the room.

Arish On Morale: The Simon Arish File Behind a Level 2 Door

Arish On Morale is a half-finished memo to the Director, cut off when the lockdown ended. It’s in a locked office in the Oldest House’s Executive Sector hall, and the door needs the Level 2 Keycard, the one you get from Arish himself in the Evacuation Zone, so the Level 2 Keycard hand-off comes first.

That office has more than his memo. Jesse’s Contingency Protocol For HRAs and a Resource Crate are in the same room, so one Level 2 trip clears all three, and the Jesse Faden files in the Executive Sector list the rest of her set in that hall.

Simon Arish Files in the Unknown and Central: The Private Log and Arish’s Note

Arish’s Private Log is an audio log about his wish for redemption. It’s inside the Patterned Field Office on the northern side of the Unknown, a building you reach during The Unknown Resonant, and the Unknown map of the Patterned Field Office building places it before the Co-Director fight.

Arish’s Note, a strange message in his hand, spawns on the Field Office desk after the Co-Director falls. RE-UZ from the Resonant Entities files at the Field Office and Nature of Hedrons from the FBC Research & Records post-boss files appear at the same moment, so one stop there clears three files.

How to Unlock Medical Recommendation, the Last Simon Arish File

Medical Recommendation is the only file in the set that waits for the credits. After The Beginning, visit the spot set aside for Arish in the Field Office lobby, which the Central map of the Field Office’s ground-floor lobby places, then wait for Zoe to call and say someone left a document for Dylan at the Watchtower. It’s a lockdown-era medical note about Arish, and it spawns on the desk beside Zoe.

Skip that lobby stop, and the call never comes, which makes this the easiest Arish file to miss in a 100% run. The Watchtower map with Zoe’s desk shows where to collect it, and the NPC guide to where Arish moves follows him from the Evac Building roof to the CFD Platform during the story.

Simon Arish Collectible Locations: 4 Files in 4 Zones

There are 4 Simon Arish collectibles: one each in Downtown, the Unknown, Central, and the Watchtower. Arish On Morale needs the Level 2 Keycard, the Private Log is on the route of The Unknown Resonant, Arish’s Note needs the Co-Director beaten, and Medical Recommendation needs the lobby visit after the credits.

None of the four are lost for good, because every location stays open once the story ends. If the set stops at three, the post-credits lobby visit is almost always the step you skipped, so head back to the Field Office lobby and wait for Zoe’s call.
