Trophies: The Foundation

Unlock all the Trophies in Control Ultimate Edition's Foundation DLC! Get tips on finding Hidden Locations, collectibles, Maneki-neko cats, and mastering abilities.

Alright, let's talk about grabbing all those sweet Trophies in The Foundation DLC for Control Ultimate Edition. It's mostly about exploring and using your powers, so don't stress too much. Most of these will come naturally as you play, but a few require a bit of focused effort. We'll break them down so you know exactly what you're aiming for.

Trophy Breakdown: The Foundation

• Make/Unmake

  This one is super chill. Just use your Shape or Fracture abilities a total of 100 times. Honestly, you'll probably hit this number without even thinking about it while you're blasting through the Foundation.

• Hostile Work Environment

  You need to take down 50 Hiss Sharpened. Don't worry, you'll encounter way more than that during your time in The Foundation, so just keep fighting the good fight.

• Rush Job

  This is where things get a little grindy. You've got to kill 100 enemies using the Shield Rush Ability. To even use this, you'll need to invest at least eleven Ability Points (or fourteen if you grab Shield Barrage first). Once unlocked, you hold down Shield (L1) and then use Evade (circle button) to dash into an enemy. Be warned, this will likely lead to a lot of deaths as you try to get the hang of it and rack up those 100 kills. Seriously, 100 kills with this move is a lot!

• Niche Position

  Keep an eye out for all the Hidden Locations scattered throughout The Foundation. The main walkthrough will point these out, but remember you actually have to open the loot containers within them for the trophy to count. Don't just find the spot, grab the goodies!

• Subterranean Research

  This trophy requires you to find every single collectible within The Foundation. The walkthrough will list them all, so stay sharp and make sure you're not missing any hidden areas or items.

• Supportive Staff

  Here’s a fun one: you need to have one of your summoned Rangers kill 5 enemies. Just deploy a Ranger and let them do some of the dirty work for you.

• One of Us

  Get ready to hunt for cats! You need to find all 8 Maneki-neko cats hidden within The Foundation. Again, the walkthrough will guide you to each one, so just follow along.

• Star Performance

  This trophy is awarded for completing the side mission titled "Jesse Faden starring in 'Swift Platform'". Make sure you tackle this specific side mission.

• Astral Plumbing

  Head towards the exit of Data Filing and Entry in the Collapsed Department. You'll find some toilets nearby. Head into the men's room, and you'll discover a hidden section of the Astral Plane. Just interacting with this area should net you the trophy.

• A Strong Foundation

  This is your big one for The Foundation. To earn this, you must complete the main Pyramid mission and also finish all the side missions available in this area. Make sure you've cleared everything!
