How to Get Shift in Control Resonant’s Incursion Fault Quest

Finishing The Incursion Fault, a mission in the Search for Jesse series, grants Shift in the West Incursion Zone. This gravity ability lets Dylan walk across walls, rotated roads, and buildings’ twisted interiors. The route passes through a locked Parking Garage, a nearby laundromat, and a long drop into the Fault itself.

Quick answer: Reach the Parking Garage in West Incursion Zone 1, take the security key from the laundromat, drop through the garage shaft into the Fault, and talk to Jesse. She hands you the Shift ability.

The Incursion Fault location and rewards

The mission sits in the northwest corner of West Incursion Zone 1, at the multi-level Parking Garage near the House of Mirrors. Visions of Jesse start appearing as you head that way, which confirms you are on the right track.

Clearing the Fault gives you the main traversal upgrade plus a few extras. Here is what you walk away with.

Reward	Detail
Shift ability	Align gravity to anomaly surfaces (bound to L1 on PlayStation)
Talent Point	+1, granted on leaving the Fault
Living Shard	+1, on quest completion
“I Feel It”	Echo collectible tied to Jesse’s choice

Reaching the Parking Garage

Following the objective through West Incursion eventually stops you at a stretch of road that rises straight up into the air. You cannot climb it yet, because that takes Shift. The way around is an elevator beside the road, and it has no power.

Enter the House of Mirrors and find the charged power cell inside. Strike it with Dylan’s Aberrant to pick up the charge.

Carry the charge back and hit the unpowered cell next to the elevator before it fades. Once the transfer lands, the elevator switches on.

Ride the elevator up to the raised road, deal with the enemies along the way, and continue forward until the Parking Garage is directly ahead.

Finding the Parking Garage security key

The garage entrance is locked. A note from the security guard on the office door explains that he left for the laundromat, and that spot gets marked on your map.

Run down the street to the laundromat. The front door is locked from the inside, so take the alley on the side of the building to reach the back entrance.

Use Elevate to hover over the Hiss goo in the alley so you do not take damage. Follow it around to the rear doors and step inside.

Take the Parking Garage Security Key from the suspended body inside. You can also grab the Parking Garage Attendant’s Report while the attendant’s recording plays.

Head back to the garage, unlock the security office door, and loot the container inside before moving on.

Dropping into the Fault and meeting Jesse

Step into the elevator in the security office. It carries you up into West Incursion Zone 2 and opens onto the rooftop parking deck.

On the deck you will see the warped parking structure twisting into a deep central pit. Loot the echo container by the payphones, then move to the interior shaft.

Drop straight down through each level of the shaft toward the lowest opening. Fall damage is not a concern here, so aim for the very bottom.

Once you reach the bottom, jump through the shadowy opening to enter the Fault. You land on a leaf-covered platform surrounded by scattered vehicles.

Cross to the glowing CRT TV and interact with it. This pulls Dylan into a vision with Jesse. Follow the linear path and talk to her to unlock Shift.

How the Shift ability works

Shift changes which surface counts as the floor for Dylan. A short tutorial runs right after you gain it, teaching every use before you are sent back to the warped garage. On PlayStation, all of these use the L1 button.

Situation	Input
Wall or sideways road (Gravity Anomaly)	Face it and press L1 to align to it
Anomaly around a corner	Face the visible edge and press L1
Overhead surface (ceiling)	Get in range and press L1
Back to normal footing	Face a floor surface and press L1
Leaving an anomaly	Walk past its boundary to release automatically

Anomaly surfaces show green arrows that point in the direction gravity will pull once you shift onto them. Use those to plan the next jump before you commit.

Completing the ritual and leaving the garage

Follow the roads and trails covered in golden leaves. Shift onto the marked vertical wall, then keep using L1 around corners and overhead surfaces as the prompts appear.

Reach and activate each of the four glowing TV stations along the way. Every one you interact with pushes the ritual forward.

At the final TV near the large ring portal, interact to trigger the closing cutscene of Jesse sealing the door. The quest then completes, granting the Living Shard, the “I Feel It” collectible, and a Talent Point as you exit into the garage.

Before leaving, grab the missed Health Upgrade Point 3/3. Use a vertical wall Shift next to a red car to reach the upper parking level, then open the container in the alcove.

Run up the exit ramp, clear the flying corrupted enemies in the corridor, and follow the exit signs on the walls and roads until you emerge at street level in daylight.

You know it worked when the log shows “Quest Completed / The Incursion Fault,” Shift stays available in your ability set, and the map marks the Parking Garage Fault as cleared. From here, Shift stays permanent, opening the twisted routes and earlier areas that a normal street-level path could not reach.
