The decisions made in this mission will ultimately lead to the same endings. The only difference is that Rogue will be alive.
If you choose to cross the bridge with Alt in Mikoshi, you will receive the Temperence ending in which V will enter the Cyberspace forever and have their consciousness erased while Johnny Silverhand takes over their body, leaving Night City for good.
If you choose to enter the well and go back to your body, you will receive The Sun Ending. V returns to Night City and retains ownership of the Afterlife bar. Rogue greets V as they embark on a new adventure.
The Sun ending is typically preferred to other ones simply due to the fact that V is alive in his own body at the end of the game. He is dying, but the last big job he intends to complete foreshadows that their may be a way to stop him from dying.
Our playthrough of getting through Arasaka Tower!
Below is a list of the gear we used while going through Arasaka Tower. We recommend using this gear .
| Weapon | Comrade's Hammer |
|---|---|
| Quickhacks | Short Circuit, Contagion, Overheat |
| Cyberware | Projectile Launch System with Tranquilizer Rounds |
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. You'll want to be sure to max out all your levels and stats, and that you are prepared with the Best Weapons and Best Clothing before attempting it.
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.
After heading down towards the control room, be sure to always stay behind cover. If you use the Projectile Launch System strategy, wait for an opening and focus on taking out one enemy at a time. Watch out for firing off your rocket at close range, as it will do massive damage to youself as well.
After clearing out the control room, you will walk out onto a platform with another mech and many robots. Take cover behind the door and use quickhacks on the robots. They will be in close proximity to each other, so grenades or a cyberware that applies quickhacks to multiple enemies can be highly effective here.
Applying the Cyberware Malfunction quickhack will leave Smasher virtually defenseless. Use this opening to lay on damage. Other quickhacks such as Short Circuit and Overheat are also effective against him.

Just wanted to let you know your information about "Don't Fear The Reaper" is out of date. It is now know & confirmed that all you have to do to gain access to this ending is say specific things to Johnny while at his grave during the side quest "Chippin' In". If I remember correctly, it was, "The Guy who saved my life", "No, you F*cked that up too" and "Okay, one last chance". I know this works, I used it earlier on the day I wrote this. Keep up the good work tho. Your guides have helped a lot.
