How to Get the Secret Ending of Phantom Liberty

There are 2 different ways to get the secret ending of Phantom Liberty. One is available whether you side with Songbird or Solomon Reed during Firestarter so players can rest easy when making the choice.

Surrender Songbird to Reed During the Killing Moon

If you helped Songbird retrieve the Neural Matrix during Firestarter, you will unlock her final mission called The Killing Moon. During this mission, Songbird reveals that she double-crossed you and that the Neural Matrix can only cure one of you.

To unlock the Phantom Liberty secret ending for the base game, choose to Call Reed after Songbird passes out during the tram ride. Tell him you want to surrender Songbird to the FIA in exchange for a cure.

Don't Kill Songbird During Somewhat Damaged

If you helped Reed buy time during Firestarter, Songbird will go full cyberpsycho. This descision takes you through a lengthier series of quests that concludes with Somehwat Damaged - an Alien Isolation style mission that has you looking for Songbird's body.

Once you do reach Songbird, she will ask you to kill her. To get the secret ending for the base game, choose That's no solution and Won't do it. This triggers the next quest that has you surrender an unconscious-but-alive Songbird to the NUSA.

Call Reed During the Point of No Return

Regardless of which option you chose, wait for Reed to contact you about the procedure. Once he confirms that you're cleared to get it, progress to the point of no return by meeting Hanako at Embers during the quest, Nocturne OP55N1.

At the rooftop of Misty's Esoterica, choose the option to Call Reed to unlock the new ending called, The Tower.

Note: Choosing this ending locks you out of the Arasaka Tower assault. This means that you will also be unable to get any of the iconic weaponry and rewards of the original ending once you get booted back to pre-Nocturne in the post-game of Cyberpunk 2077.

V is Cured But They Can Never Be a Merc Again

By calling Solomon Reed and cashing in on the operation to remove the Relic, you will unlock the Tower ending of Cyberpunk 2077. In this ending, the FIA operate on V, successfully removing the Relic from their brain and saving their life in the process.

However, the catch is that V can no longer use cyberware due to the damage to their brain. Naturally, this means V can no longer chrome up and continue being a merc; forced into the quiet life after being dealt a bad hand.

Another complication during the operation was that V lapsed into a 2-year coma after it was completed. Despite V telling everyone they knew and loved that the operation would only take a few days tops, they end up missing from Night City for 2 whole years.

V's Friends Will React After You Call Them

Upon waking up from their coma, V has the option to call all of the people they met before the point of no return. Here is a summary of all their endings and reactions after V is cured:

• Panam: If you call Panam, she will be unreachable. No interaction can be had with her during this ending.
• Judy: Judy will tell you that she is no longer in Night City. After you went missing, she moved to Pittsburgh and got married to someone named Bianca.
• Vik: The old ripperdoc is still in Night City. He offers to look you over after you tell him your body can no longer handle chrome.
• Kerry: Kerry is glad you're alive but is also in the middle of a music tour. He promises to see you again but is very noncommital during the call.
• River: River's life is in shambles. Since he needed money for Randy's rehab, he hashed out a deal with Trauma Team by selling them police secrets. He ends the call after you offer to help him out.

V Returns to Night City to See Viktor

After V leaves the FIA facility in Langley, the scene cuts to them riding a Delamain cab into Night City. The city is worse than it was before especially with Arasaka pulling out during your time away.

Upon arriving at Viktor's clinic, you will see that Misty's Esoterica is gone and in its place is a Zetatech clinic from which Vik now works out of. During your reunion with Vik, he tells you that nothing can be done after all and that the doctors in Langley were right.

Once V leaves the clinic, they will be mugged by two Night City thugs. Despite trying to put up a fight, V is soundly beaten and left by the curbside.

Misty Tells V the Hard Truth Before She Leaves

When V wakes up, it is to the sight of Misty. She tells them that she was on her way out of Night City. During the conversation, she tells V a hard truth. Instead of a blaze of glory, V is now one of the many faces in the crowds of Night City. The scene ends with Misty leaving and V retreating and fading into the rush hour crowd.

Choose the Correct Dialogue Options During Chippin' In

In order to get the option for the Don't Fear the Reaper ending, V will need to choose the following dialogue options during the Chippin' In quest in Act 3. These will appear when you talk to Johnny in the oilfields after trying to find where Adam Smasher buried his body.

1. Nah, fucked that up too.
2. What do you want from me?
3. OK, but as second chances go, this is your last.

Regardless of your approval rating with Johnny, picking these dialogue options will allow you to get the option to storm Arasaka tower by yourself.

Wait for Five Minutes During the Point of No Return

Once you reach the rooftop of Misty's Esoterica during the base game's point of no return, wait for 5 minutes when presented with ending options. Once the 5 minutes are up, Johnny will suggest a different way of assaulting Arasaka Tower. Choose the following dialogue options to assault Arasaka Tower by yourself.

1. Let's hear this plan.
2. Means goin' out with a bang - I like it.

Assault Arasaka Tower By Yourself

Getting through Arasaka Tower in the Secret Ending is one of the toughest challenges in the game. If you die during the raid, the credits will roll and you'll have to go back to a previous file for another attempt.

To get through this gauntlet, you'll need to make your way through Arasaka Tower's main entrance, find an elevator, and then reach Mikoshi via the Netrunners Operations area.

It can be a good idea to practice with the Rogue Ending first to get familiar with the layout, as you'll pass through these same locations in this ending as well.

Unlocks the Suicide Ending Option Each Time You Die

Dying during Don't Fear the Repear will also give you the option to pick the Suicide Ending. Players who want to opt out of the difficult combat mission can choose this ending as a last resort.

Pick Between a Modified Sun and Temperance Ending

Once you reach Mikoshi, you can choose to join Alt or have Johnny go with her. Joining Alt across the Blackwall will unlock the Temperance ending where Johnny takes over your body.

If you let Johnny go with Alt, the scene will cut to a modified Sun ending. Since you didn't assault the tower with Rogue, she will be alive when you enter the Afterlife.
