How to unlock the Insular Telekinesis achievement in Control - Definitive Guide

This is related to the side quest called A Good Defense (available after finding "Home Safe Tests" document in Maintenance sector NSC Energy Converters computer room).

The actual quest is located in the Training Course. First, you need to complete a timed obstacle course - you need to shoot targets and fling energy cubes to the receptables to proceed to the next rooms. You have to be quick, though.

Once you are on the other side of the blast door in the actual chamber with the Safe, you need to break the barrier with launched objects (will need several). Cleanse the Safe, and complete the Astral Plane challenge, which is a relatively trivial task of just moving forward and deflecting the enemy fire with your new cn_LB Shield ability.

For some reason this hasn't unlocked for me but can't find this as a known issue anywhere!

This gave me tramatic memories of the Titanfall 2 speed trial. So I finished the game without this skill.

To be honest the hardest part for me isn't on the solution. To access Training Course you First need to destroy 3 glowing red blocks to make the red barrier disappear. It was hard because I didn't notice the blocks and thought the passageway would be naturally unlocked during story progression. So I totally ignored the quest after trying to go to Training Course using another routes without success.

@EYEHUNTER 42 Go to Maintenance sector than look for a corridor to the north of NSC Power Plant. You will find a blocked door to the left, that you need to destroy 3 red blocks to make the "corruption" goes away.

I had previously grabbed the collectible without realizing the side quest was tied to it (before knowing there were side quests actually!) but the quest was not showing up for me in the menus as of yesterday. Today, I decided to make sure I did in fact grab the collectible and upon returning to the computer room, the collectible was gone and the quest became available?!? Completed it after a couple attempts so it wasn’t that bad... spent more time trying to figure out where the quest was! lol... toast

Story-related; unmissable

This one can be obtained during the third main mission, "Directorial Override" as it appears as a side mission - "A Good Defense."

If someone suddenly has difficulty passing the training room for a while with a regular pistol, you can take a “charge” type weapon (analogous to a grenade launcher) and shoot it approximately in the direction of the targets; due to the large area of ​​destruction, the target is activated.

It will take a long time for the charge to open. You can easily walk through with fragments, the main thing is not to forget to use an accelerated jerk.
