In this Control Hidden Ability Points Guide, we will show you where you can get the additional Ability Points in the game that are hidden in certain locations during the main story missions and the side quests.
Ability Points are required to upgrade your Abilities. Upgrading all your abilities with the Ability Points will unlock the “Master Parautilitarian” trophy/achievement. To earn Ability points, you need to complete the missions and side quests. However, this does not give you all the Ability Points and you will have to rely on searching for hidden or secret locations that will contain the remaining Ability Points that you need to get. This is where our guide will help you in finding the secret locations to get the Ability Points.
It is worth mentioning that many of the areas can only be accessed under two conditions. The first is that you should have the Levitate ability unlocked for yourself, and the second is that you need to have played through the areas of some main story and side missions and then return to the locations of the hidden Ability Points. To make things easier, it is best to have completed all the story missions and the side quests before you can go to collect all the hidden Ability Points for the trophy.
