The Molded — Control Ultimate Edition Walkthrough

The Molded — Control Ultimate Edition Walkthrough

The Molded is a recurring side quest in Control Ultimate Edition that introduces Jesse to a particularly unsettling and dangerous manifestation of the Hiss's influence. This quest often involves tracking down and eliminating these creatures, which are grotesque and resilient foes.

The Molded are not a single enemy type but rather a group of Hiss-corrupted entities that have taken on a fungal, amorphous form. They are often found in damp, dark, or neglected areas of the Oldest House, suggesting their origin from corrupted organic matter. Their appearance is typically slimy, pulsating, and unsettling, reflecting their parasitic nature.

The quest typically begins with Jesse receiving a tip or finding a clue about the presence of The Molded in a specific sector. Upon reaching the desated area, Jesse will need to locate and engage these creatures. They often appear in groups, making them a sificant threat, especially in confined spaces.

Combat against The Molded requires a strategic approach. They can be quite resilient, and some variants may have unique abilities. For instance, some Molded might explode upon death, releasing a cloud of toxic spores, while others might have a melee attack that can inflict damage over time. It's crucial to utilize cover effectively, as they can sometimes overwhelm Jesse with sheer numbers.

Jesse's supernatural abilities are invaluable when fighting The Molded. The Launch ability is particularly effective for dealing with groups, allowing her to throw environmental objects or even the Molded themselves. Levitation can help Jesse gain a tactical advantage, allowing her to evade their attacks and target them from a safer distance. The Service Weapon's different forms should also be utilized, as some might be more effective against their tough, organic hides.
