Control - What a Mess Plant locations, Mold locations and how to unlock the Janitor's Assistant Uniform

Publish date: 2022-10-05

What a Mess: Talk to the Plants, What a Mess: Clear the Mold and What a Mess: Even more Mold are the last three missions Ahti the Janitor will ask you complete in Control.

Ahti's not a hard task master, however, and once you complete these missions, he'll let you take a break. What a Mess: Take a Break involves doing just that and will reward you with the Janitor's Assistant Uniform. This is one of the outfits Jesse can wear in Control.

Like the previous What a Mess missions, you'll also be rewarded with Ability Points, Material and new Mods - both Personal and Weapon.

Plant locations for What a Mess: Talk to the Plants in Control

This time Ahti needs you to talk to the plants in Central Research.

Head back to the Power Plant and use the Control Point there to fast travel to Central Research.

You need to talk to 6 plants scattered around Central Research. These are the plant locations:

By the desk near the Sector Elevator
Next to the door to Dr. Darling's office
Next to Ahti's cart on the lowest floor of Central Research
To the left of the entrance to the cafeteria
At the bottom of the stairs next to the shelter on the lowest floor
By the desk in front of the Parapsychology department

When you find a plant, walk up and talk to it to boost its self-esteem.

Make sure you kill any attacking Hiss as well. They clearly don't like plants, because you can't talk to a plants when the Hiss are around.

Once you've talked to all the plants, the mission will be completed.

Ahti wants you to eradicate the Mold from the Medical Wing in the Containment Sector.

To reach the Medical Wing, head back to the Power Plant and use the Control Point to fast travel to the Logistics department in the Containment Sector.

From there, head through the northern doors into Security and go down the left-hand pathway to reach the Medical Wing.

To eradicate the mold you must destroy 6 green, glowing, mold balls.

You can destroy these mold balls by either using your Service Weapon or by launching an object at them. Keep an eye out for any Hiss forces too.

The location of these mold balls are:

In the storage room accessible through the left-hand door in the main room of the Medical Wing
On the ceiling just above the stairwell to the mold infested area of the main room
On the ceiling above the door leading to the stairs to Security
In the far-left decontamination shower
In the office left of Ahti's cart - run to the doorway nearly blocked by mold and you'll be able to see it attached to the wall in the next room

Destroying all six mold ball will complete the mission.

Ahti has some more mold that needs removing around the Coolant Pumps in the Maintenance Sector.

Your destination is the NSC Coolant Pumps Upper Level, which is quickly reached via Fast Travel.

Once you're there, you need to destroy 6 more green, glowing balls.

Like before, these mold balls can be destroyed with either your Service Weapon or your Launch powers. You'll also want to make sure you keep an eye out for any attacking Hiss forces.

The locations of the mold balls are:

Directly above Ahti's cart
Directly above the doorway you enter the upper level of the Coolant Pumps by
