1. Investigate the Steam Coming From the Factory in Central
2. Follow the Scorch Marks and Deal with the Steam
3. Kill the Resonant in the Factory

Starting Location: The Central Resonant Quest

In the north of Central Zone, go where it shows the text “Patterned Factory” on the map. On the south side of the factory, you will see an “eye” icon on the pipes, press L1/LB to inspect it. This will start the quest if you haven’t already obtained it elsewhere.

Investigate the Steam Coming From the Factory in Central

Climb up the platforms on the east side of the Patterned Factory to reach the roof.

On the roof destroy the wooden door and go inside.

Clear out the enemies in the factory and then use the elevator.

Follow the Scorch Marks and Deal with the Steam

Follow the underground path until you reach a corridor with flames.

If you want to make a shortcut here – you can temporarily turn on Assist Mode > Immortality and simply run through the flames, thus saving some time (disable immortality again after if you like).

The intended way is to destroy the red glowing orb on the other end of the room, opposite the flames (where you came from). Then follow the path to the side where the hot pipes are, and keep destroying the red dots in the tunnel section to turn off the flames. Once the flames are turned off you can walk through normally.

Kill the Resonant in the Factory

Defeat the boss and then use the button prompt to finish it off. Afterward you can pick from two Abilities Ignite & Inferno, but you can change these anytime later in The Gap by interacting with the Mural.

This finishes The Central Resonant in Control Resonant.
