In Cyberpunk 2077, which is essentially getting a second launch, I’m trying to decide which guides are worth reading again when I just remembered something from my own gameplay that I’ve been forgetting about for almost two years.
The covert conclusion of Cyberpunk 2077.
Many different endings in Cyberpunk 2077 centre on Arasaka, Johnny, the Aldecaldos, or any mix of them all. While some endings are very straightforward to reach—for example, you can’t ask Panam for help if you haven’t explored all of her side stories—there is one that can without a doubt be categorised as a secret, and it’s ridiculously simple to overlook due to the way it was introduced into the game. Additionally, it may be the best ending for some people.
This conclusion, in which Johnny offers to storm Arasaka alone, was concealed by CDPR behind essentially only one very particular chat with him. To synergize with Johnny at a 70% level, which you can monitor on the main character screen, you must have this dialogue. If you mess up this one dialogue, like I did on my first playthrough, you’ll be stuck at 60%. You can’t go back and correct things.
No matter how much you disagree with Johnny throughout the rest of the game, this one scene in one mission—which starts with the song “Chippin’ In,” in which Johnny commandeers the V and makes contact with the road—is what will ultimately reveal where Johnny’s body was dumped in the Oil Fields decades earlier.
This one chat that sets off the ending starts when you arrive at the Oil Fields. The ending won’t begin after this; in fact, it could not even appear until a dozen or two hours into your game if you don’t get this portion right.
You must select one of the following specific discussion options throughout this section:
[Enter Johnny’s initials here] “Let’s take action to fix that.”“The Man who Gave Me a Chance.”
“Nah, screwed up that too,”
What do you require of me?
“OK. On the other hand, this is your final opportunity.”
“You were a real dick at first,” she said.
When you claimed that you betrayed your buddies,
Smasher business definitely affected her.
Yes, I’ll give Rogue a call.
Therefore, you should try to be kind to him without going overboard. I also have no idea how anyone figured this out the first time.
You must also complete the remaining portions of this questline in order to arrive at the Samurai reunion concert, which will bring Johnny and V closer together by allowing them to see each other again. Really, all you need to do is complete the quest and watch the show, and then you’ll be at 70% and prepared to meet Hanako at Embers.
There is one more challenging step left. You must first decide on the resolution that allows Johnny to travel with Rogue before you may brainstorm your final strategy on the rooftop of the Vic clinic above. When there is a choice to “put this to rest,” you should choose to do nothing. Simply wait for a few seconds, and Johnny will ultimately suggest the suicide run assignment on his own. And that’s how you make things happen.
Why is that the best conclusion? Well, it’s the only one that guarantees you won’t lose any additional companions, and it features the most intense battle, which some people may argue makes it the ideal option for the conclusion. In addition to being challenging, dying at any time means that the game is over and that you will reach the credits. Therefore, before all of this begins, make sure you quicksave.
This tutorial is provided since getting to the finale is an outrageous process that is very simple to miss. After missing out on it for two years, I was finally able to complete it on my third try without messing anything up.
