The Park Resonant is a side mission in The Park district that asks Dylan Faden to break through a sealed Mold Gate. The gate stays shut until Dylan consumes four hidden pieces of Delicious Mold scattered across nearby storefronts, after which he can enter the chamber and fight the boss known as The Collective.

Quick answer: Eat the Cafe, Gym, Minimart, and Pizzeria mold pieces to open the Mold Gate, then defeat The Collective (30,000 HP) behind it to complete the quest.


How to start The Park Resonant

Head to The Park near the FBC Base and drop into the mold-infested crevasse below street level. At the bottom you will find a sealed circular Mold gate blocking a tunnel.

Interact with the gate to use the Report Mold-Blocked Entrance prompt and contact Zoe over the radio. This triggers the quest and reveals the first mold in the small cafe right next to the gate.

All four Delicious Mold locations

Each mold piece sits inside a different storefront in The Park. You can grab them in any order, but the quest points you toward them one at a time.

MoldWhere to find it
Cafe MoldSmall cafe next to the Mold Gate, on a round table
Gym MoldOffice inside the gym building, north-west of the base, on a desk
Minimart MoldUrban Fresh Mart, in a cardboard box by the checkout counter
Pizzeria MoldParadise Pizza Place on Nomad Avenue, on a booth table

Eating each mold starts a trance sequence where you pick single-word prompts to stay conscious. The choices do not block progress, so any selection lets you continue.


Eat the four mold pieces

Enter the cafe beside the gate and inspect the Piece of Delicious Mold on the round table. Consume it to trigger the first hallucination.

During the Cafe Mold trance you can pick from Protect, Search, or Grow before Dylan snaps out of it.

Inspect the Second Piece of Delicious Mold on the office desk and eat it. This grants +1 Talent Point and shows the word options Bond, New, Sprout, Shape, Sample, and Spread.

Cross the rooftop mold bridges toward the convenience store, clearing the flying and ground mold monsters that block the street. Press the FBC control button to open the access door, then move through the interior courtyard to Urban Fresh Mart.

Eat the Third Piece of Delicious Mold from the cardboard box by the counter. The trance shows Seedling, Enter, Plan, Horde, Energy, and Sprout.

Travel south-east toward Nomad Avenue Station and fight through the mold snipers and floating entities on the way to Paradise Pizza Place. Approach the booth table and consume the Fourth piece of the delicious mold, choosing from Get sick, Part, Become, Seedling, To, and Soil.

Open the Mold Gate and defeat The Collective

Once you’ve cleared mold number four, your objective becomes Kill the Resonant Behind the Mold Gate. Retrace your route along The Park’s streets and through its crevasse, ending at the original Mold-Blocked Entrance.

With Dylan’s infection at threshold, the organic gate dilates and opens. Move into the tunnel and grab the floating Health Upgrade Point (1 of 3) before dropping down the organic pipe into the central chamber.

The Collective is a massive stationary Mold face with 30,000 HP. Drive needles into its exposed weak points to stun it, then keep applying damage to finish it off. Needles apply Mold Damage and build the Infected status, which deals damage over time and explodes when combined with Burn.


Rewards and how to confirm completion

Beating The Collective opens the Combat Ability Selection screen so you can acquire Spore Burst, which rapidly fires Mold projectiles to build up Infected (Damage 22-220, Falter 2-18, 20% Crit Chance, Power Cost 200).

You will know the quest is done when the Insidious Growth trophy unlocks and the screen displays “Quest Completed: THE PARK RESONANT.” The final rewards are:

  • Spore Burst combat ability
  • Insidious Growth trophy
  • Untapped Face Mask
  • +3,000 Source
  • +1 Reset Item

Once the trophy pops and the rewards register, The Park Resonant moves to your completed quest log, and you are free to return to the district’s other side stories.
