Control Hidden Ability Points Guide – Where to Find Hidden Ability Point Locations (1)

In this Control Hidden Ability Points Guide, we will show you where you can get the additional Ability Points in the game that are hidden in certain locations during the main story missions and the side quests.

Ability Points are required to upgrade your Abilities. Upgrading all your abilities with the Ability Points will unlock the “Master Parautilitarian” trophy/achievement. To earn Ability points, you need to complete the missions and side quests. However, this does not give you all the Ability Points and you will have to rely on searching for hidden or secret locations that will contain the remaining Ability Points that you need to get. This is where our guide will help you in finding the secret locations to get the Ability Points.

It is worth mentioning that many of the areas can only be accessed under two conditions. The first is that you should have the Levitate ability unlocked for yourself, and the second is that you need to have played through the areas of some main story and side missions and then return to the locations of the hidden Ability Points. To make things easier, it is best to have completed all the story missions and the side quests before you can go to collect all the hidden Ability Points for the trophy.

Below we have detailed all the places where you can find the hidden Ability Points in the game.

Location #1

To get this Ability Point, you need to go to the Communications Department in the Executive sector. To get to the secret location, you will need the Levitate ability. Once you are here, you will have to climb the flight of stairs that are to the left of the pillars and the series of pipes.

From the top of the stairs, turn right and you will find a room at the end. Enter the room to get the Ability Point.

You can find another secret location in the Communications Department of the Executive sector. The area where the secret location is requires you to have played the Old Growth side quest beforehand.
