Unlocking Cyberpunk 2077's Secret Variation of "The Sun" Ending
In Cyberpunk 2077, there exists a secret variation of "The Sun" ending, where V and Silverhand embark on a daring mission to storm Arasaka Tower alone.
To access this hidden ending, follow these specific steps during the "Chippin' In" quest when conversing with Johnny in the oilfields:
Choose the dialogue options in the following order:
"Nah, fucked that up too."
"What do you want from me?"
"Ok. But as second chances go, this is your last."
Upon selecting the last dialogue option, Johnny's affinity will increase to 40%, unlocking the secret ending.
Note that only this sequence of dialogue choices will lead to the secret ending. Alternatives or achieving a higher affinity through Johnny's side quests will not affect the outcome.
Once you've reached the 40% affinity mark during this specific dialogue, you have the freedom to pursue any quest, even if you decide to go directly to Hanako after completing "Chippin' In."
Exploring the 5 Ending Options
As you progress through the game, eventually leading to "Nocturne Op55N1," you'll find yourself on the rooftop with Misty, engaging in a conversation with Johnny.
At this juncture, you'll have several options to choose from:
You can ask Hanako (or Rogue and Panam if you've completed their quests) for help, leading to different ending outcomes.
Alternatively, if you remain patient without selecting any of the choices, after approximately 3 minutes, Johnny will consider V's silence and present one more option.
Opting to accept this new option will trigger the "Don't Fear The Reaper" quest, where V and Johnny embark on a daring "suicide run" by infiltrating Arasaka Tower through the front door, taking on the enemy alone.
Consequences of V's Fate
In Cyberpunk 2077, if V meets their demise at any point during the game, it will result in the game's credits rolling and an ending where all characters react as if V had chosen to end their own life.
However, if V successfully uploads Alt and connects to Mikoshi, this pivotal decision will lead to either "The Sun" or "Temperance" endings, depending on how V chooses to handle their own body.
Notably, this is the only way Rogue will make an appearance in the "Path of Glory" ending, emphasizing the importance of your choices throughout the game.
