In Control Resonant, you will spend a lot of time battling paranatural enemies, completing side quests, and taking on fearsome bosses. However, once in a while, you will need to flex those brain muscles if you want to progress further into the game. There are quite a few puzzles throughout the game, and many of them are optional. One that isn't is the Electrokinesis Testing puzzle found when you are exploring The Oldest House with Zoe. This puzzle is mandatory, so if you're struggling to escape and don't know what to do in the Power Core room, here is everything you need to know about solving it. Electrokinesis Puzzle Solution While you're exploring the testing wing of The Oldest House, you will need to restore power to the breaker box. To do so, hit the only active Power Core next to the breaker box to transfer the current to Dylan's weapon, and then bring it to the second floor. Look for the room with all the Power Cores and strike the one next to the door to unlock the door to the electrokinesis testing area. Enter the room and strike any of the Power Cores on either side. This will lock the doors to the testing room, and you'll need to solve a series of puzzles to be able to leave. Despite all the cores, this is actually a pretty simple puzzle. Your goal is to activate only specific cores on the wall. Which ones you need to activate are displayed on the televisions above the active Power Cores. What you'll need to do is piece together the images on the televisions to determine which nodes need to be turned on. For the first test, you will want to electrify the top left, top right, and bottom middle nodes to form a triangle. This will cause the television screens on the walls to change, showing a new pattern. The second pattern is just a square, so deactivate the bottom middle node before powering up the cores in the bottom left and right corners. Inputting this correctly will cause the next pattern to appear on the television screens. For your final test, you will need to create a cross with the electric current. This is done by activating all the cores in the middle column and all the cores in the middle row. Doing so will create a cross and turn all the screens green, unlocking the room. You can now freely take power from two of the cores and bring them down to the breaker room. You can also find a Power Upgrade chest on the second floor in one of the dark offices. Look for the solid red light if you're struggling to find it. There are also several files you can find in the side offices around the main room you can collect. Activating the Power Cores in the breaker room will restore power, unlock the "Perfect" Dr. Darling film, and play a message from the doctor on the screen to your left. When you're ready to leave, head upstairs and go through the door next to the "High Risk Chamber" sign.
