How to Use Seize in Control

Before you can go ahead and use this ability, you’ll first need to unlock it. We’ve broken down everything you need to know below.

What It Does & How to Unlock It

Seize is an ability in Control that allows Jesse to control the minds of weakened enemies. Once you’ve done some damage to them, you can use it to control them.

To unlock it, you need to complete the A Captive Audience side mission, which only becomes available to you once you reach the main mission called My Brother’s Keeper.

At that point in Control, you need to go to the Hypnosis Lab, which is near the parapsychology elevator. Then, you’ll see that the room to the Object of Power is locked.

At the back right part of the lab, you’ll find a room with a puzzle that’ll unlock the door to the Object of Power. Use the puzzle’s controls to get the shape to match the one in the image below.

Once you’ve done that, cleanse the Object of Power to begin another trial. Then, once it’s all done, you will unlock Seize.
