While exploring the surreal architectural anomalies of Control Resonant, you’ll occasionally stumble upon an enigmatic canine perched atop seemingly inaccessible rooftops. Interacting with this mysterious hound kicks off the delightful “Every Dog Has Her Day” side story quest, which requires you to track down missing playthings scattered across multiple districts. To successfully finish this multi-zone hunt, you’ll need to locate every hidden toy.

Editor’s Note: This guide is actively evolving alongside our progression through the game. We will continuously refresh this walkthrough with new toy coordinates as they are discovered.

Where to find the mysterious dog’s toy in Control Resonant

This elusive dog manifests in nearly every major sector of Control Resonant, always resting remarkably close to her designated missing item. Fortunately, regardless of which zone you are currently investigating, the object of her affection remains identical: a teal toy dinosaur adorned with striking purple spots.

Whenever you begin your search in a new district, scan the surrounding skyline for a prominent Chowrap advertisement hoarding. These billboards serve as reliable visual indicators and are consistently positioned within direct line-of-sight from the dog’s resting spot.

Consult the detailed region breakdowns below for step-by-step directions to every single collectible.

In the bustling Downtown sector, the missing dinosaur rests on a rooftop directly across the thoroughfare. Pivot toward the southeast from the dog’s viewpoint to spot the toy. Seamlessly chain together your Rush, Elevate, and mid-air dodge abilities to bridge the gap, pick up the item, and deposit it into her makeshift bed to clear this stage of the mission.

You will find this particular canine lounging atop the roof of a skewed, sideways structure situated northwest of the local parking garage. Accessing this area requires you to resolve the spatial anomaly inside the parking structure, granting you the Shift traversal power, which is essential for traversing inverted and vertical surfaces.

Orient yourself toward the southern horizon to locate the Chowrap billboard, then cast your gaze slightly left to find the toy resting securely on a rooftop air-conditioning unit. Secure the object and return it to the waiting hound.

Evacuation Zone mysterious dog toy location in Control Resonant

Reaching the Evacuation Zone animal demands that you first clear out the Subway anomaly nestled in the northeast corner of this sector. Completing this objective unlocks Reach, empowering you to tether onto light-warping orbs anchored above neighboring rooftops.

Proceed to the street running just north of the fast-travel checkpoint and vendor kiosk, then utilize your new Reach ability to ascend onto the rooftop.

The dinosaur toy sits directly on this upper level. Grab it, then look toward the crimson-lit zone overhead to spot the dog. If you previously unlocked the Shift ability from the West Incursion Zone, you can easily leap and transition directly to the opposing roof.

Alternatively, because you cannot deploy Reach while holding an item, navigate up the incline ramp positioned just below the animal. Leap upward toward the dog’s resting nest, creating a brief window of opportunity to toss the toy directly into her bed.

This particular dog waits patiently on the roof of a building featuring a Chowrap billboard in the southeastern corner of the Central sector.

Peer down into the laser-filled alleyway below to discover another Chowrap hoarding, with the missing toy waiting directly beneath it. Pick it up and return to street level.

Because you cannot utilize Reach while encumbered by the toy, you must leverage manual platforming to ascend back to the rooftop. Climb up the wooden scaffolding framework, transition to the suspended rigging platform, and finish climbing to the top. Drop the dinosaur into the waiting bed, and remember to reward yourself by petting the dog!

The Park mysterious dog toy location in Control Resonant

The Park’s mysterious canine rests within the northeastern district corner. Fast-travel to the “Mold Factory” checkpoint and trek northeast across the rooftops until you locate her.

The corresponding toy is situated across the street. Look eastward to spot an elevated cargo lift accompanied by a Chowrap hoarding and the missing item. Though the lift platform hangs slightly too high for a standard vertical jump, you can employ one of two distinct methods to reach it:

Activate the lift mechanism by interacting with the power cell located in the parking lot southwest of the dog.
Launch yourself off the ramp on the building directly south of the canine to glide across (requires the “Extended Rush” upgrade).

If utilizing the power cell method, activate the block and use Reach to scale the northeastern building. Sprint over to the elevator, strike the terminal with your weapon, and summon the platform downward.

For the ramp approach, execute a sprinting leap off the terminal edge to glide forward with Rush engaged. As you begin to lose altitude, quickly chain two forward air dodges to carry yourself precisely onto the elevator ledge (this maneuver may require a couple of practice attempts).

Grab the toy, leap back across to the dog’s roof, drop the item into her bed, and deliver a well-earned pat.

Underpass mysterious dog toy location in Control Resonant

The Underpass dog makes her home at the absolute apex of the towering pillar located northeast of the Research Site.

To ascend this vertical climb, approach the cable car infrastructure. Use Reach to mount the primary anchor pillar, then hop across the series of phasing platforms leading to the adjacent column.

Scan the upper northern wall for another valid Reach anchor point. Hook onto it to advance to the next column, then shift toward the northern side. Look upward once more to spot a final Reach target that brings you directly to the canine.

The toy rests stubbornly overhead on the ceiling. You can either take the red-carpeted pathway looping behind the animal to reach it, or leap onto the white rectangular container northwest of the dog, execute a maximum-height jump, and Shift directly onto the overhead surface.

Grab the dinosaur toy, perform another high vertical jump, and release the item so it drops close to the hound. Finally, look southward toward the nearby Reach target to reposition yourself back onto the dog’s platform and place the toy neatly inside her bedding.
