The Experiment — Beyond: Two Souls Walkthrough

Master the controls and mechanics of Beyond: Two Souls. Learn how to effectively switch between Jodie and Aiden, utilize their unique abilities, and navigate the game's interactive elements.

1. Jodie's Controls: Jodie moves with the left stick. The right stick is used for actions, often requiring movement towards a on-screen dot. Some actions involve timed button presses (e.g., L1 then R1) or repeated button mashing.

Aiden is tethered to Jodie and can interact with objects marked with orange glows (using L1) and blue dots (using L1 and both analog sticks). Aiden can nudge people (blue dot on body), possess individuals (orange aura), choke/kill enemies (red aura), heal wounds (green spot), create an energy shield (hold L1 and R1, pull sticks apart), channel spirits (connecting a line between an object/body and Jodie's head), and destroy evil spirits (lock, ANALOG STICKS DOWN, push towards dot).
3. Gameplay Loop: A typical chapter involves Jodie undertaking a mission, using her skills while Aiden manipulates objects, defeats spirits, possesses people, or heals others. Jodie acts as the carrier, while Aiden is the offensive/support unit.
4. Duo Mode & Smartphone Controller: Duo Mode allows two players to control Jodie and Aiden with separate PS3 controllers. The Beyond Touch smartphone app can be used as an alternative controller, requiring connection to the same Wi-Fi network as the PS3. This mode offers a more intuitive,
