In anticipation of the new year, we want to delight you with a detailed guide on how to complete the secret and incredibly difficult ending in Cyberpunk 2077. Only a few have managed to complete it. Some even resorted to cheats because there are a lot of enemies, and the chances of survival are practically 10%.

In this ending, there are only three autosaves. You won't be able to save the game whenever you want. You also won't have a second chance after you die - the game will roll the credits, and that will be considered the end of the game.

The guide will be long, so grab yourself some tea, get comfortable, and let's begin!

Notes:

- Distribute your weapons and clothing on the roof in advance because you won't be allowed to do it at the beginning of the mission;

- Stock up on healing items. You'll need a lot of them.

So, let's start with the necessary character build (below are the attributes I used):

Minimum level 40 (preferably level 45 because I played at level 42 and it was very difficult for me);

Weapons:

- Skippy (not used all the time, but it's helpful against certain enemies);

- Smart Sniper Rifle "Ashura" (I completed 80% of the way with this weapon);

- Pistol "Nué" (it has good electrical damage);

- Sniper Rifle "Nekomata" (high damage against enemies);

- Anti-Personnel Grenade "Zap";

If you have invested in the blades skill tree, take legendary blades. But I don't recommend playing with them - throughout the playthrough, you'll try to shoot from cover. You'll see why soon.

Skills (I focused on Body, Intelligence, and Technical Ability):

Clothing:

I used legendary clothing from the guide: https://modslab.net/cyberpunk_...

However, you can use any clothing you like, but remember - the armor value should be at least 1000.

Cyberware (very important!):

- Second Heart;

- Visual Cortex Stimulator;

- Camillo Memory Manager;

- Subdermal Armor;

- Arasaka Mk.4 Operating System;

- Smartlink;

- Reinforced Tendons.

Cyberdeck (very important!):

- Synaptic Accelerator (Legendary);

- Cyberpsychosis (Legendary);

- Short Circuit;

- Suicide;

- Grenade Detonation;

- Overheat.

We're all set for the mission to destroy the corporation.

In the beginning, you'll encounter 5 enemies: one at the entrance, two with blades, and two in hand-to-hand combat. Immediately neutralize the guard at the entrance with a headshot, and while the others haven't reached us yet, try to shoot the larger mercenaries in the head with your pistol.

Tactics: Use double jump and smart weapons to disarm enemies with blades. They are the most dangerous and the fastest.

Did it seem difficult to you? Now the hardcore begins.

Two robots will come out. Hide from them in the first hall and periodically peek out to apply "Short Circuit" on them while shooting from the smart rifle. I fought them for about 20 minutes, so be patient.

The most important thing - do not get too close to them!!! They kill with the first hit!

After this technical mess, the bloody part begins:

Johnny will say that you need to take the elevator access key. At this stage, waves of enemies will rush at you. It's best to take cover here:

Now it's time for our grenades. Throw them from behind cover, throw a lot. Periodically peek out and try to disable someone with a sniper rifle. Don't forget about our scripts: it's best to use the "Cyberpsychosis" script. There will be a total of 6 waves of enemies, so be careful and patient.

After dealing with the last mercenaries in the elevator, we need to take the elevator access key. Take the access card from any large dead guard. Enter the elevator, and another robot will appear. Lure it into the first hall and quickly run to the elevator, pressing the down button.

We descend into "Mikoshi." Right in front of us, there will be a turret that can be disabled, but don't rush. First, throw grenades behind the turret at the enemies. Two soldiers will rush out from the left door. Try to hit them directly in the head. Once we deal with them, we have two paths: if you don't have enough strength (13) to hack the door, disable the turret and run through the corridor.

Next, we will face more enemies. Throw grenades from around the corner. They will do their job well. If enemies run towards you, close the door and wait. Try to shoot them in the head to deal with them quickly. Here's another trick I used, but you need to act very quickly! Aim at the camera and press the control override. While the script is loading, close the door and run further. When the script loads, we will see the enemies from the camera. Use the "Grenade Detonation" or "Cyberpsychosis" script on one of them. After that party, finish off the remaining enemies and proceed further. But be careful! In the corridor, on the left before entering the room, kill the guard. He will be standing right at the entrance, so it will be convenient to disable him with a headshot. After you kill him, rush into the room and use it as cover to kill the rest.

Next, we go out to the platform. Don't jump down!!! Stand at the entrance and try to neutralize everyone from here. Use "Short Circuit" on the robots and throw grenades and use the sniper rifle on the others. They will peek out from cover, so it will be convenient for you to take them out.

After that, jump down and run further. And again, there are more enemies ahead. Take cover behind the containers and try not to get too close. Grenades were very helpful for me; I simply threw them at the enemies and waited for them to turn into pieces.

Next, we reach the main server, where there are also a lot of enemies. Just follow the previous pattern: don't get too close, use grenades and the sniper rifle. And don't forget about the scripts. "Cyberpsychosis" is a very useful script when dealing with multiple enemies.

After the second party, we access the hidden server through a computer. Don't worry, Johnny will guide you where to go, so even in a stressed state, you will find the computer anyway.

Run and connect to the server, thereby granting Alt access to "Mikoshi." She will disable the technical security system and neutralize any remaining enemies if there are any left.

Now V is on the verge of exhaustion and proceeds down the corridor. At the end, Alt won't be able to help open the gates, so you have to act on your own.

And here's where the main party of all begins. So to speak, the icing on the cake - Adam Smasher. Honestly, he's not much of a formidable opponent. He doesn't stand out in terms of intelligence or strength. I killed him in 30 seconds. I simply jumped on top of high crates using double jump and turned him into ashes with the smart sniper rifle.

When he falls dead, we have a choice of what to do with him. Personally, I didn't have any hesitation in killing him, so it's up to you.

Well, that's it. Now V is already on their last legs and heading towards their goal. Connect to Alt and enter the network, capturing memories along the way.

The beginning of the journey. What it all started with.

We enter the network. Alt didn't waste any time and composed some kind of poem for us. And to the rhythm of this poem, we ascend to the pyramid of events - to the lair of souls.

When we reach the end, we listen to Alt and Johnny and... we are shocked by what we hear. There won't be any more spoilers because you need to experience it yourself. In the end, you will face the most difficult choice in the entire game. Hopelessness, mixed feelings, and apathy - that's all you need to know about the events in the network.

Thank you for reading this guide; I hope it helps you. I completed the ending 23 times, 10 of which I played through using different methods to compile this guide.

Good luck with the game and Happy New Year!
