Crossroads

CONTROL Ultimate Edition guide · Stabilize the Crossroads to access the deeper Foundation

The Crossroads is the primary central hub of The Foundation expansion, connecting several distinct paths across the Astral bleed. Jesse Faden returns here multiple times throughout the story to align the locks of the massive central Nail by undertaking rituals in nearby sectors. Stabilizing the Nail at the Crossroads gradually restores access to the deeper portions of the cavern network and astral platforms.
