Every Health Upgrade Point chest in Control: Resonant around Downtown, including the full Roadside Shop puzzle hiding a secret room north of the Oldest House.

Your first Health Upgrade Point is sitting in a convenience store, of all places.

Health Upgrade Points in Control: Resonant raise Dylan's max health, and Downtown hides several of them — some behind nothing more than an open door, others behind a full puzzle sequence. This guide covers every confirmed chest in the opening zone, including the complete Roadside Shop puzzle walkthrough.

What Health Upgrade Points Do

Collect three points and Dylan's health climbs one tier. The first tier you bank pays out a trophy (listed as Core Ability in translated sources), and pushing all the way to four health upgrades earns a second one (Self-Improvement). If you are dying often in the opening zone, this route is the fastest fix.

Location 1: The Store by the Oldest House Gate

Directly across from the Oldest House's main entrance is a small convenience store. Walk in, open the chest, done — one Health Upgrade Point, no strings attached.

Open the chest inside the store for point one.

Location 2: The Roadside Shop Puzzle

North of the Oldest House, follow the street to its end and hop over the wall — a hidden explorable area opens up. One of the shops along it sells drinks, and its back room hosts the Roadside Shop puzzle. The payoff is a chest with a Health Upgrade Point plus some collectible documents.

Read the document on the table — it holds the puzzle's core clue.

The puzzle, step by step:

Pull the breaker switch on the wall first. Nothing works until the power is on.
Devices must now be activated from smallest to largest. Get the order wrong and the whole sequence resets.
The smallest device is a radio, and it is not with the others — it hangs on the opposite wall, on the side with the dining table. The radio always goes first after the breaker.
Activate the remaining five devices in ascending size order. The refrigerator is always last.

Breaker first — the entire sequence is dead without power.

The radio hides across the room by the dining table — smallest device, first in line.

Five devices left after the radio — climb the size ladder, fridge finishes the set.

Once the order is correct, a secret room opens on the left side of the shop. Inside: the chest with your Health Upgrade Point and a few documents worth grabbing.

Location 3: The Alley Merchant

An alley elsewhere in Downtown holds a merchant — and right next to his stall, a chest with another Health Upgrade Point. Stock up on supplies while you are there.

The alley merchant — his neighbor chest holds point three.

Grab the chest before you leave the alley.

Location 4: The Rooftop

The last confirmed point needs a climb. Make your way to the marked rooftop and open the chest waiting there for Health Upgrade Point number four.

The climb up pays for itself.

Fourth point, fourth chest — a full upgrade tier.

Tips

Three of these four points require no combat at all, so they are safe to grab right after the opening boss.
If a chest looks unreachable, check whether a wall, breaker, or device puzzle is gating it before giving up.
