Follow this comprehensive walkthrough to complete the 'Take Control' mission in Control, including delivering mail, cleansing Dylan, and defeating enemies.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Check the noticeboard for tasks. You'll find three mundane tasks: Deliver Mail, Tidy up coffee cups, and Deliver the Director's mail to his office.
  2. 2
    Deliver Mail: Go from desk to desk and interact to place a letter until the gauge fills. This task will reappear; ignore it and do something else.
  3. 3
    Tidy up coffee cups: Go to the area where Dr. Underhill is working and pick up cups. Return to the main office for more. When the bar fills and the job returns, stop and pick up a delivery from the red, glowing pneumatic tube.
  4. 4
    Deliver the Director's mail to his office: Follow signs to the Director's Office and place the delivery in Trench's inbox.
  5. 5
    Pick up the Director's mail: Take the tube from Trench's outbox for a scene, then return to the dream world.
  6. 6
    Check the noticeboard for tasks (again): Pick another task from the noticeboard.
  7. 7
    Scan the forms: Head to the photocopying machine and scan. When the bar fills, pick up the delivery from the pneumatic tube.
  8. 8
    Deliver the Director's mail to his office (again): Return to the Director's Office and place the tube in Trench's inbox. Listen to his words.
  9. 9
    Pick up the Director's mail (again): For another scene.
  10. 10
    Check the noticeboard for tasks (one last time): Skip this. The delivery tube is waiting; pick it up.
  11. 11
    Deliver the Director's mail to his office (one last time): Trench's words are less coherent. After his ranting, pick up the Service Weapon and shoot him. Dr. Darling will then contact you, and your objectives will update.
  12. 12
    Find Darling's Office: Go back to Executive Affairs and find a new door by the pneumatic tubes. Enter and pull the light switch cord three times.
  13. 13
    Traverse the Oceanview Motel: Go to reception and ring the bell once. Enter the third room for a Darling Presentation, 'Dyna-mite'. Pick up the key and unlock the door across the way.
  14. 14
    Turn off the Slide Projector: You've escaped the dream world. Levitate through the shifting room, avoiding walls, until you reach a structure to climb. The Slide Projector is on top; interact with it to switch it off. This unlocks the 'Slide Projector' Objects of Power entry.
  15. 15
    Reach Dylan: Negotiate several platforms with tough enemies. Use your superpowers to defeat them quickly. Climb up to Dylan and cleanse him for the final scenes. The 'Take Control' trophy unlocks as the credits roll.
