Ahti’s not a hard task master, however, and once you complete these missions, he’ll let you take a break. What a Mess: Take a Break involves doing just that and will reward you with the Janitor’s Assistant Uniform. This is one of the outfits Jesse can wear in Control. Like the previous What a Mess missions, you’ll also be rewarded with Ability Points, Material and new Mods - both Personal and Weapon. On this page: Need more help in your quest through the Oldest House? Then check out our Control walkthrough hub, with links to all our Control guides. Head back to the Power Plant and use the Control Point there to fast travel to Central Research. You need to talk to 6 plants scattered around Central Research. These are the plant locations:
By the desk near the Sector Elevator Next to the door to Dr. Darling’s office Next to Ahti’s cart on the lowest floor of Central Research To the left of the entrance to the cafeteria At the bottom of the stairs next to the shelter on the lowest floor By the desk in front of the Parapsychology department
When you find a plant, walk up and talk to it to boost its self-esteem. Make sure you kill any attacking Hiss as well. They clearly don’t like plants, because you can’t talk to a plants when the Hiss are around. Once you’ve talked to all the plants, the mission will be completed.
