After completing Control's A Matter of Time side quest, players will receive another optional mission called The Enemy Within. This quest begins with an instruction to investigate the Safe Room in the Sealed Threshold Hall, and it concludes with a boss battle unlike any other in Control. For those players that find themselves stuck on one of these portions of The Enemy Within, this full walkthrough looks to provide assistance.

As previously stated, the first part of this Control quest asks fans to investigate a Safe Room that is found in the Sealed Threshold Hall. Players that are working on this mission should thus fast travel to the area's entrance and make their way to the room in which Jesse Faden previously encountered the Japanese Paper Lantern. In the back of this room, fans will find a large metal door with the word Shelter written upon it, and beyond this door is the Safe Room.

As players make their way deeper into this Safe Room they will come across what is perhaps the most puzzling part of the quest: a large gap. While it is technically possible to cross the gap in Control's The Enemy Within side quest using the Dash ability alone, it is much easier to make it to the other side with Levitate. As such, it is recommended that players that have not already unlocked Levitate in Control progress further through the game's story and return to The Enemy Within when they have earned the ability.

After crossing the chasm in the Safe Room, fans will receive a new instruction, and they must now defeat the Anchor in Control. To do this, players should take careful note of the Anchor's movements, as it follows a very strict pattern. More specifically, this boss continually rotates clockwise, spewing out a barrage of small clocks every time it moves 90 degrees.

The strategy here is to move counter-clockwise to a platform that has a large clock upon it, lift that large clock, and then wait for the Anchor to turn toward the platform. When it does, players should wait for the Anchor to open up and then launch the large clock at its red core before it has time to fire the smaller clocks. This will deal a significant amount of damage to the Anchor, and players should simply repeat this process, being mindful to eliminate the Hiss as soon as they spawn, until the boss is defeated.

Control is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
