How to unlock the Subterranean Research achievement in Control - Definitive Guide

I would recommend playing through the story before focusing on collectibles as you will pick up a lot of them through natural gameplay. The list of collectibles that are required for the achievement are;


This vide guide by 'The Perfect Gaming Zone' will show exactly how to get each collectible, from control point to collectible.

I was at 98% after completing the DLC. When I watched that youtube clip I knew I had missed the "Talented Janitor" collectible. So I went there and got it and the achievement popped no problem. Thanks for the guide! =)

This guide is a godsend. Listing them all that way really helped. I was worried I would have to do the usual "go to every location" way of collecting.

Hey RAGRocha, you go to select mission “Take Control” final mission beat this mission, then the foundation redo doing mission, then you can pick it up any collect in there. You will get an achievement. Same me, too! this will help it for someone if stuck at 98%.

Thumbs up from me. That might be one of the best collectable videos I've seen. Very easy to follow and each shows how to get to the collectable from the nearest fast travel point.

@SuperDarkConker There’s the Endgame mission select so you can go to Foundation straight away. A Hotline didn’t play for me either but it was Out of Options instead of End of the World.

just fyi if the hotline thing bugs like it did to me. doing mission select saves over your previous save basically. so if like me you did everything you lose it all. hopefully I dont regret this for the AWE dlc...

98% bullshit. I see how with the AWE DLC they made the collectibles achievement only collect 80%.

This Guide leaves out The Hotline Collectibles needed for this Achievement. They are Missable & can be got through Replay but should still show there Location & tell us when during the Story they show up.

Was stuck at 98% and thought I was losing my mind until I noticed I had misread what America Overnight recordings I had, I'd been glossing over the actual numbers.

Also that video guide is amazing, I appreciate them going to each collectible from the nearest Control point, very useful

I was also stuck at 98%. I did the End Game mission, got the Log 1 collectible which is the very first collectible that you get, and the achievement unlocked. I had already gotten this collectible prior.

I was at 98% because the Out of Options Hotline didn't play for me so I just restarted the Foundation from the Endgame Mission. Got the first collectible which is Log 1 and the achievement popped up immediately.

DISCLAIMER!!!
If you are going to restart The Foundation, MAKE SURE you have all your achievements first so you don't have to go back and redo them such as Supportive Staff. ONLY RESTART if this achievement is the last one you have to get and it's stuck at 98%. Otherwise, you'll have to go back and redo every achievement that is specific to The Foundation DLC.

I ran into the 98% glitch on the Ultimate Edition. I had everything, including Hotlines. Restarting the DLC and picking up the first collectible (Log 1) worked there as well.

Sorry for the late reply. Start ‘Endgame’ under mission select to restart the DLC. It wipes your post-game progress, so make sure it’s the last thing you do.

I was stuck at 98% as well despite following the walkthrough guide, but thought I'd grab the final Maneki-neko before restarting the DLC.

I fast-travelled to the Transit Access control point and went to the fire door. Turns out I had missed a collectible document in the small room on the left when facing the firebreak, right next to the metal detector on top of the x-ray scanning machine.

This achievement was buggy for me. After completed all the game, I was stuck on 98%. I had to play the mission "Endgame" again. The achievement popped up after getting the first collectible. Unfortunately I lost all my progress after this mission. :-(

Not bugged on series x. Was about to reset my DLC progress until I saw popness' guide and realized I missed one paper which is why it was left on 98%. Took a few minutes to pop once I grabbed the last one.

This was my last achievement and I was missing the Out Of Options Hotline, and as Guile132 said I reset my DLC and collected Log 1 and it unlocked.

I would make note that the Hotline calls ARE required for this achievement. I had gotten all of these before fighting the final boss and thought my game had glitched at 98% like a lot of reports I was seeing. I beat the final boss and both this and the achievement for beating all missions popped. The final collectible I was missing was the Hotline entry "Departure" for The Board. The Hotline Entries are:

Board:
Astral Entities
Departure
Rituals

Marshall
Becoming Director
End of the World
Out of Options
The Foundation
Two Birds, One Bomb

If this Trophy does not pop on your last collectible, back up your save file and then restart "Endgame" from the mission select screen. Play it for a little bit and the Trophy
should pop when you grab a collectible.

*BUGGY*

There are over 40 collectibles in the DLC and I have complied a list in the video on the ones you need to pick up but not the ones you'd receive automatically by defeating new enemies, entering a new area or through cutscenes which you'll get once you'd beating the story-related DLC. If you are just missing a couple, check the video description for time-stamped collectibles. Here is also a CHECKLIST to follow if you can't figure out which one you're missing.

There are over 40 collectibles in the DLC and I have complied a list in the video on the ones you need to pick up but not the ones you'd receive automatically by defeating new enemies, entering a new area or through cutscenes which you'll get once you'd beating the story-related DLC. If you are just missing a couple, check the video description for time-stamped collectibles. Also, follow this checklist to see which one you're missing as the video does not show the ones given to you by the game for continuing the story or killing certain enemies (credit to Redemption Gaming): LINK
 
 

If for some reason the trophy didn't pop after finding all of the collectibles and finishing the story DLC, do the following: Backup your save to either a USB Drive or the PS Plus Save Fie Cloud, then restart the game, select the level "ENDGAME" and replay The Foundation DLC (because doing it this way, you will keep your already found collectibles). Continue as normal until you hit Crossroads (or sooner), because the game will give you some collectibles automatically, making the trophy pop.

Glitch Note:
0
0
If you have collected ALL the items (43 pieces) and still haven’t received the achievement, follow these three steps:

1. Transfer your Control saves to USB or the cloud (for PS Plus subscribers). This can be done in the PS Plus menu > Manage subscription > Cloud storage.
2. Start the game and go to the "Select Mission" section, where select "Final". The game will offer to overwrite saves, agree.
3. Start the Foundation mission as if you have never played The Foundation before. As soon as you get to the Foundation location, pick up the first collectible item - it will be a tape with Ash's recording "Journal 1. Discovery".

Congratulations! Achievement received! Now all that remains is to return the saves back to the system and continue playing from where you left off.

Let me add that many people, including me, still have an item from the “Direct Line Telephone” section - Marshall - that remains unfound. Called End of the World in the English version, it is issued automatically at some stage in the add-on, but due to an uncorrected bug, you can get the trophy in the above way.

It seems like I did everything according to the guide, but the trophy did not fall, I took the advice from the first hint, took the first item, nothing, ran further, took the second and the trophy fell. Apparently they add up, so if you missed a few, you can restart and get it in the second round.

To make it easier to collect the remaining items and not have to run through all the locations, translate the game into English, follow the video in theMiyazakiSoul hint, copy the list of all collectibles from the description under the video and cross out those that you have already collected during the game, you will collect the rest many times faster, than running around the entire video and looking for everything.
