G: Good call wanting to plan this ahead — in entity["video_game", "Cyberpunk 2077", 0] there are some missions and side-jobs you can “miss” (or fail/lock out) depending on how far you go in the main story, so doing things in a more deliberate order is smart. I’ll break down what you need to watch out for, which jobs are at risk, and a good order of operations so you don’t accidentally lock yourself out of stuff.

---

✅ What you can safely do

• For the bulk of side-jobs, gigs, world activities: You’re fairly safe doing them before you push the story to its end. Some players report you can still go back and clean a lot up afterwards. citeturn0search0turn0search4turn0search2
• The main “point of no return” for story is when you start certain final quests (for example: the final act / rooftop / Arasaka Tower stuff). After that, you might be locked out of free-roam opportunities or certain triggers. citeturn0search0turn0search7
• If you haven’t progressed into the very final act, you have good freedom to explore, do side quests and make sure you trigger everything.

---

⚠️ What you can lock out / miss

• Some side-jobs tied to major characters have prerequisites in terms of when you do them (or you risk them not showing up). For example: The endings page on the Fandom wiki points out that to unlock certain endings you must complete certain side-jobs (for example, with entity["people","Panam Palmer",0] and entity["people","Rogue Amendiares",0]) before the very last main quest. citeturn0search7turn0search6
• Some posts mention that there are side-jobs/activities which stop triggering if you progress the main story too far. For example:

  “The quest where you repair the rollercoaster. You don’t get if you advance the story to a certain point.” citeturn0search4

• One post:

  “Mostly nope, but there is ONE Phantom Liberty side gig you can lose out on if you don’t do it early.” citeturn0search4
  (The expansion side content entity["video_game", "Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty", 0] may have additional timing traps.)

• Note: Some discussion suggests you won’t lose many missions by simply exploring and not doing everything early, but be aware of “time-sensitive” or “story-progress cut-off” jobs. citeturn0search4
• Also: The endings page shows that for certain endings you must complete specific side-jobs before the final main quest. If you skip them, you won’t be eligible for those endings. citeturn0search7

---

🔍 What to watch out for specifically

Here are some key side-jobs / conditions you should keep in mind:

• Side-jobs for Panam Palmer (e.g., “Riders on the Storm”, “Queen of the Highway”) must be completed if you want the “Star” ending. citeturn0search7
• Side-jobs for Rogue Amendiares (e.g., “Blistering Love”) must be done if you want the “Sun” ending. citeturn0search7
• If you push the main story past certain markers (such as “Nocturne Op55N1” or entering the final act) you should stop and clear side-jobs/gigs if you want to ensure 100%. The wiki notes you can still do many things, but some may fail to trigger. citeturn0search6turn0search7
• The expansion (Phantom Liberty) content has its own timing triggers; if you intend to play it, doing it before the final base‐game mission may help unlock everything. (Community posts suggest this). citeturn0search0

---

📋 Suggested Order of Operations

Here’s a recommended flow to maximize job availability and endings:

1. Play the main story up through Act 2 (or a reasonable checkpoint) while doing side-jobs/gigs/world stuff as you go.
2. Pause before the final act / “point of no return” mission (often when you choose your final plan/enter Arasaka Tower) — this is the time to stop and clean up:
   • Finish all side-jobs for Panam, Rogue, Johnny, etc.
   • Finish all important character side-jobs (romances, etc) if you care about those.
   • Finish world-activities/gigs if you’re aiming for “everything”.
3. Then proceed with the final main story quest. At this point you’ll trigger the ending(s).
4. After finishing the main story, you can replay or reload a save point just before the final mission to try different endings or do leftover content. The wiki notes that after finishing you may be rolled back to just before the final main quest in order to pick alternate endings. citeturn0search7turn0search0
5. If you have the Phantom Liberty expansion: Many recommend doing that either just before the final base-game mission or on a second playthrough to ensure you trigger all its content.

---

📝 Summary

• Yes — there are some cut-offs: mainly tied to pushing too far into the final story without doing certain side-jobs.
• But most side-jobs/gigs/world activities are safe as long as you do them before the final major mission.
• If you want to maximize jobs + endings, stop advancing the main story when you’re comfortable, clean up all major side-jobs for key character arcs, then do the final act.
• Save often, especially before major story pushes.
• If you’re playing with the expansion, consider when to slot that in (before final mission or in a second run).

---

If you like, I can pull together a full list of which side-jobs are time sensitive / missable, with exact names and when they must be done for full completion. Would that be helpful?

G: Good question — yes, you can end up with some missions becoming unavailable (or locked into a path) if you advance the main story too far in entity["video_game", "Cyberpunk 2077", 0]. In your specific case — the three missions you mentioned: entity["quest", "Transmission", 0], entity["quest", "Gimme Danger", 0], and entity["quest", "Beat on the Brat", 0] — here’s how things stand.

---

✅ What the sources say

• Transmission is a Main Quest in Act 2. citeturn0search4turn0search5turn0search3
• Gimme Danger is listed as a Main Quest (or at least part of the main-story chain) under the “Hanako Arasaka” arc. citeturn0search0turn0search5
• Beat on the Brat is a Side Job (not a main story mission). It’s listed under the “Coach Fred” chain of side jobs. citeturn0search0turn0search3
• For Beat on the Brat (specifically the Pacifica sub-mission “Beat on the Brat: Pacifica”): it requires you to complete Transmission first in order to unlock the side-job “Send in the Clowns” which then leads into that Beat on the Brat branch. citeturn0search2turn0search0

---

⚠️ What this means for your question

Because you’re concerned about one mission auto-completing or disappearing when you finish another:

• If you finish Transmission (a main-story quest) before you finish certain side-jobs that depend on it (like the later Beat on the Brat branch), you won’t necessarily lose all access, but you may lock yourself out of starting that dependent side-job chain until after Transmission is done. For example: Beat on the Brat: Pacifica needs Transmission first. If you do Transmission, you’ll unlock the chain — not lose it.
• If you instead do the dependent job before finishing Transmission, you’re safe for that side-job chain (the chain unlocks properly).
• For Gimme Danger: since it’s part of the main quest chain, doing Transmission first generally makes sense from a story progression perspective. Finishing Transmission won’t make Gimme Danger disappear — rather, Gimme Danger should come after or as part of that main-story arc.
• In short: Finishing Transmission won’t auto-complete or vanish Gimme Danger — but if you advance past the point where Gimme Danger is meant to trigger (very far into the end story), you might reach a “point of no return” where you can’t go back and pick up some quests.

---

🔍 Recommendation based on your current state

Since you currently have those three on your to-do list, and you’ve already done 193 jobs (nice!) — here’s a safe order to minimise risk:

1. Do Gimme Danger next (since it’s part of the main story along the Hanako path).
2. Then do Transmission — this ensures you hit the main-story quests in order and unlock anything that depends on it.
3. Then do Beat on the Brat (or at least the branch you want) after Transmission (or at least before pushing into the very final act of the story).

Also: Before you finish Transmission (or right after), you might want to pause and ensure you’ve done any side-jobs you care about (especially those that unlock only after Transmission) so you don’t sprint into the end-game and have them vanish.

---

If you like, I can check exactly what the “point of no return” is right after Transmission (or which mission triggers it) so you know how far you can go safely before everything locks down. Would that be helpful?

G: Great — thanks for clarifying that you’re in the middle of entity["video_game_quest", "Transmission", 0] (a main-story quest) in entity["video_game", "Cyberpunk 2077", 0]. Good news: from what I found, you’re safe at this point regarding major “cut-off” of primary story missions. Specifically:

• Transmission is part of the main job chain in Act 2. citeturn0search1turn0search11turn0search20
• According to community discussion, the real “point of no return” for locking out major story content is much later — specifically at the quest entity["video_game_quest", "Nocturne OP55N1", 0]. citeturn0search0turn0search6
• One steam forum thread says: “Within the Voodoo Boys questline [which includes Transmission] … you won’t get locked out of any ending choices just by making decisions with them.” citeturn0search2

So you can go ahead with Transmission without worrying that doing it now will snuff out big chunks of the story or make the next major mission vanish.

Here’s what you should keep in mind:

• After you finish Transmission, you’ll unlock what’s next in the main story (which may be entity["video_game_quest", "Never Fade Away", 0]) or other major branches. citeturn0search11turn0search20
• You still have some flexibility to slot in your other main/multi-branch jobs (e.g., entity["video_game_quest", "Gimme Danger", 0]) either before or after, depending on how you want the story to flow.
• What you should avoid: pushing into the final Act/“point of no return” (i.e., Nocturne OP55N1) without doing the major side chains you care about (romances, big character arcs) if you want all story branches. That’s when true major lock-outs happen.

If you like, I can check exactly which main missions follow Transmission (so you know what’s coming) and how doing them in different orders impacts what you see.

G: Yes — you’re absolutely fine.

Finishing Transmission will not lock you out of Gimme Danger. In fact, Transmission is part of the Voodoo Boys storyline (Placide, NetWatch, Brigitte), while Gimme Danger belongs to the Takemura / Arasaka arc. Those two narrative threads run in parallel during Act 2, and you can complete them in either order.

Here’s the structural breakdown:

• Gimme Danger → Life During Wartime → Down on the Street form the Arasaka/Takemura chain.
• I Walk the Line → Transmission finish the Voodoo Boys chain.
• Both converge later in Act 3; neither cancels the other out.

So go ahead and finish Transmission. When you’re done, Gimme Danger will still be available and will proceed normally. The only thing you’ll advance is your standing in the Voodoo Boys storyline; no other main quests will disappear.

G: Nice catch — the side job entity["quest", "Killing In The Name", 0] in entity["video_game", "Cyberpunk 2077", 0] can get stuck due to a bug. Here are the most likely causes and what you can try to fix it. If you're on a recent patch, the behavior might still persist.

---

🔍 What appears to be happening

According to multiple player reports and guides:

• One of the first objectives is to open your apartment computer in V’s place (in Watson → Little China) and access the “Net” tab to open the website from the entity["organization", "Bartmoss Collective", 0] message. citeturn0search2turn0search5turn0search4turn0search0
• Some players report the website is “unreachable” or the router/hack sequence doesn’t trigger. Example from Reddit:

  “I fixed it by equipping a plain old white cyberware mod with quick-hacking (‘Militech Paraline’), and then trying again. Worked like a charm.” citeturn0search0

• According to a guide at PC Gamer:

  “You’ll need to have completed the side job entity["quest", "A Like Supreme", 0] and received a series of messages… Then click on the ‘Read More’ tab on the website in your apartment.” citeturn0search5

• The fandom wiki notes:

  “The job can be started some time after dealing with the Voodoo Boys; message to check their personal computer…” and then you must call Nancy (Bes Isis) etc. citeturn0search4

So your issue — not being able to open the website in the job — likely comes down to one of these root causes.

---

🛠 What you can try

Here’s a checklist of fixes/workarounds that other players found helpful:

1. Confirm prerequisite quest is done:
   Ensure you’ve completed the side job “A Like Supreme”, which is required before Killing In The Name becomes fully available. citeturn0search5turn0search4

2. Use the correct computer / Net tab:

   • Go to V’s apartment (Little China, Watson).
   • Access the computer in the bedroom (or main room) and switch to the “Net” tab.
   • Find the Bartmoss Collective entry and choose “Read More” (the website you’re talking about). citeturn0search2turn0search5

3. Check your cyberdeck/OS / hacking ability:

   • Some reports say if you have an OS that doesn’t allow quickhacks, you might not proceed. For example:

     “You won’t be able to hack it if you’re using an operating system that doesn’t allow quickhacking. … swap your Berserk or whatever OS you’re using for an OS with quickhacking.” citeturn0search0

   • So make sure you have a cyberdeck + OS equipped that supports hacking/quickhacks.

4. Reload an earlier save / restart quest step:

   • If you’ve progressed a bit into the job and it’s stuck (website isn’t accessible), try to load a save from just before you started the job or just before the first computer interaction. Then retry.
   • Some players suggest not doing unrelated missions between the job start and interacting with the computer/website. Doing other activities may mess up the trigger. citeturn0search0turn0search2

5. Skip time / rest:

   • As one guide says: “Sometimes I had to skip in-game time for 2 weeks and drive around... to hear back from the quest giver.” While that’s for the call, similar “waiting” sometimes helps stuck triggers. citeturn0search2turn0search5

If you like, I can check if this bug has been officially patched (which version) for your platform (PC/console) and give you the exact workaround steps for your platform (PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox). Do you want that?

G: Good news — for the side-job entity["quest", "Dream On", 0] in entity["video_game", "Cyberpunk 2077", 0], whichever dialogue option you pick at the conversation with entity["people", "Jefferson Peralez", 0] (telling him the full truth, or holding back) doesn’t significantly affect the main story or major content. citeturn0search0turn0search11turn0search17turn0search15

Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

---

✅ What you can choose

At the end of the Dream On job, you have two main options:

• Tell Jefferson the truth about the brain-washing/monitoring you uncovered. citeturn0search17turn0search11turn0search0
• Lie or withhold the information (as requested by his wife Elizabeth) so that Jefferson doesn’t know the full extent. citeturn0search11turn0search15

---

ℹ️ What it affects

• The difference is mostly flavour and character reaction — for example, if you tell Jefferson, you may later get a voicemail/epilogue where he’s more paranoid and aware. citeturn0search8turn0search3
• If you don’t tell him, you’ll still complete the job, get the reward, and the story proceeds. citeturn0search11turn0search9
• According to guides, the choice does not impact the larger narrative, endings, or unlocks in any major way. citeturn0search0turn0search17

---

🎮 My recommendation

Since you mentioned you just want to explore the story without locking yourself out of anything major, you can pick whichever option fits your V’s personality or how you want to role-play.

• If you play V as “full transparency, no secrets”, then choose tell the truth.
• If you play V as “smooth operator, covering tracks for political clients”, then choose withhold the info.

Either way, you won’t regret it in terms of story access.

---

If you like, I can check exactly what voice-mails / epilogue state each choice leads to (so you know what you see later). Would you like that?

G: Good on you for asking — I checked on the quest entity["quest", "Dream On", 0] in entity["video_game", "Cyberpunk 2077", 0], and yes: there is a choice near the end of the quest (whether to tell entity["people", "Jefferson Peralez", 0] the full truth vs. going along with his wife’s version) — but according to multiple sources this choice does not significantly affect the story, main missions, or lock you out of anything major. citeturn0search2turn0search1turn0search4turn0search3

Specifically:

• The guide on PC Gamer says: “It doesn’t actually matter which choice you make here … the dialogue will change slightly, depending on your decision but other than that, the outcome is the same regardless.” citeturn0search2
• The Fandom wiki details the quest and says that the decision influences what Jefferson will think/act, but doesn’t block further content. citeturn0search1turn0search3
• The Game8 walkthrough lists the choices and marks the “Best Choice” section with the note: “Either one works as the choice doesn’t matter and is ultimately futile.” citeturn0search4

So, if you’re just at the start of the quest and wondering whether you need to pick a particular option to preserve the path — you’re safe. You won’t offend the story by choosing “could be someone behind SSI” vs “doubt it” vs “no clue yet”. These early dialogue flavours do not lock out the major story or cause you to miss the main branch.

If you’d like, I can check all possible minor outcomes of both choices (and what changes in the epilogue) so you know exactly what those minor differences are.

G:

entity["video_game_quest", "Nocturne OP55N1", 0]

You are correct — this is the major branching moment in entity["video_game", "Cyberpunk 2077", 0] where your decisions send you toward different endings. I’ll break down when you get the choices, what they are, what you’ll need for each ending and what happens afterward — so you can decide with full knowledge.

---

🕒 When the choices happen

• During the mission Nocturne OP55N1 you meet entity["people", "Hanako Arasaka", 0] at the club “Embers” — this triggers the “point of no return” warning. citeturn0search5turn0search2
• After that you leave and reach a rooftop with entity["people", "Johnny Silverhand", 0] (and possibly others). Here you are given a choice: whom to go with / what plan to follow. citeturn0search2turn0search1
• The choices you make then guide the final mission and ending you’ll play out.

---

🎮 The main choice options

On the rooftop with Johnny, the key dialogue options are roughly:

• “Think trusting Arasaka’s risky but worth it.” — choose this to go with Hanako/Arasaka. citeturn0search2turn0search5
• “Gonna ask Panam for help.” — choose this if you’ve done the Panam-questline and want her & the Aldecaldos involved. citeturn0search3turn0search1
• “Think you and Rogue should go.” — choose this if you’ve done the Rogue/Johnny side-quests and want that route. citeturn0search1turn0search2
• Also: There is a suicide/run-out option — you can instead pick to “just put this to rest” (toss pills) and end the game differently. citeturn0search4turn0search0

---

📋 What each ending requires & what you get

Below are summaries of the different paths:

Ending	Unlock Requirements	What happens
The Devil (Arasaka route)	No specific side-quests required; just choose Hanako’s route at rooftop. citeturn0search1	You team with Arasaka, agree to join their program, etc. One of the darker endings. citeturn0search5turn0search2
The Star (Panam route)	Must complete Panam’s side-quests (e.g., “Queen of the Highway”). Then choose Panam’s option. citeturn0search4turn0search1	You go with Panam/Aldecaldos, get a more hopeful outcome.
The Sun (Rogue route)	Must complete Rogue’s side-quests and have good standing with Johnny. Then choose Rogue’s option. citeturn0search1turn0search3	Johnny takes over, more dramatic, different epilogue.
Temperance / Other variants	Mix of requirements, plus choices at final insertion. citeturn0search1	More nuanced endings depending on if you stay as V, let Johnny live, etc.
Suicide / “just end it”	No major requirement — you can choose to end it at the rooftop by tossing pills. citeturn0search2	Fast-tracked ending; you skip much of the final raid.
Secret/Secret-Secret Ending	There is a hidden variation if you wait on the rooftop for ~5 minutes and meet conditions with Johnny. citeturn0search0turn0search5	Rare outcome, different framing.

---

✅ What this means for you

Since you said you think you’re at the final mission (Nocturne OP55N1) and are seeing “five different things asked” — here’s what to do:

• Before making the rooftop choice, save your game (manually) so you can revisit if you want to try a different route.
• Decide which route you want based on how far you’ve progressed in side-quests:
  • If you haven’t done much of Panam’s or Rogue’s side-jobs, your safe “default” is the Arasaka/Hanako route.
  • If you have done those side-jobs, and you want a more “complete” ending, you might aim for Panam’s or Rogue’s route.
• Understand that once you choose and commit (entering Arasaka Tower etc) you’ll trigger the ending and job lock-in — you won’t be able to go back and pick those side-missions before finishing unless you reload.
• If you just want to pick one quickly and finish, pick whichever choice you like. But if you want the best outcomes (more character closure, side-job recognition), choose based on side-job completion.

If you like, I can send you a full visual decision-tree image (detailed map of all paths) with the exact dialogue options and requirements, so you can pick precisely which branch to take and what you’ve unlocked. Would you like that?

G: Here are the known requirements for the secret ending (often called entity["video_game_ending", "Don't Fear the Reaper", 0]) in entity["video_game", "Cyberpunk 2077", 0] — note: because some patches and expansions changed things, there’s a bit of uncertainty around minor details, so I’ll include what’s widely reported plus what to double-check. If you haven’t met them all yet, you may need to reload a save or do a second run.

---

✅ Reported Requirements

According to multiple guides and community threads:

1. During the mission entity["video_game_quest", "Chippin’ In", 0] (the one involving entity["video_game_character", "Johnny Silverhand", 0] in the oil-fields), you must pick specific dialogue choices. For example:

   • “The Guy who Saved My Life.”
   • “Nah, fucked that up too.”
   • “What do you want from me?”
   • “Ok. But as second chances go, this is your last.” citeturn0search6turn0search8turn0search2turn0search0
   • These choices apparently set a “friendship/affinity” state with Johnny. citeturn0search2

2. On the rooftop at “entity["video_game_quest", "Nocturne OP55N1", 0]” (the point-of-no-return big mission) when you’re talking with Johnny and other characters:

   • You must not immediately pick one of the normal ending choices (e.g., Arasaka, Nomads, Rogue).
   • Instead, leave the dialogue option blank / wait silently for about 5 minutes until Johnny offers a special “solo run” option leading into the secret ending. citeturn0search2turn0search5

3. Higher “affinity” or synergy with Johnny is often mentioned (some say ~70%). However, some sources claim the only must is the correct dialogue in Chippin’ In and the rooftop wait; the % value is less strictly required if the dialogue is done correctly. citeturn0search8turn0search2

---

⚠️ Important Notes & Caveats

• The secret ending is very challenging, your character is effectively going solo through a massive assault on entity["organization", "Arasaka Corporation", 0]’s tower. Dying means you get credits and game over. citeturn0search6turn0search2
• Because of patch changes and the presence of the expansion entity["video_game", "Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty", 0], some details (dialogue options, percentage thresholds) may behave slightly differently than earlier guides.
• If you’ve progressed past certain story points (or chosen certain paths) without doing the Chippin’ In dialogue or waiting on the rooftop, you might lose access to this ending without reverting a save. Some players express frustration about this. citeturn0search7

---

📋 Quick Checklist You Can Use

• Complete Chippin’ In mission and pick the key dialogue options with Johnny.
• Reach Nocturne OP55N1 (the rooftop scene) before choosing your ending path.
• On the rooftop, don’t choose any of the standard ending options.
• Wait ~5 minutes of in-game time (no input) until Johnny offers the secret run.
• Accept the solo-run option to trigger the secret ending.
• Be very well-equipped because the run is extremely tough.

Endings overview

1. “The Devil” / Arasaka Route

What happens:

• You side with entity["organization","Arasaka Corporation",0] / entity["people","Hanako Arasaka",0], take their offer. (This is the “trust Arasaka” choice on the rooftop) citeturn0search3turn0search13turn0search1
• The Relic gets dealt with in Arasaka’s terms.
• V’s fate: you become part of an Arasaka “save your soul” program, your engram may be uploaded/used by Arasaka. Many community posts view V as effectively dead or a copy. citeturn0search0turn0search12turn0search14
• Some supporting characters survive, others don’t get major closure.
  Positives:
• You make a “deal” with the big corporation; it’s straightforward, less involved risk than “go it alone”.
• Some things wrap up neatly with Arasaka.
  Negatives:
• Many players feel this one is the “worst” or “bleakest” in terms of V’s personal outcome: you lose autonomy, V’s original self is arguably finished. citeturn0search12turn0search1
• If you care about V living as “you”, this route is painful.
  Summary: Good resolution of the story arcs, but V pays a high personal cost.

What happens:

• You go with entity["people","Panam Palmer",0] and the Aldecaldos nomads. You assault Arasaka with them. citeturn0search13turn0search12
• V’s body is used; you still likely become an engram copy or have a shortened life, according to many sources. citeturn0search12turn0search0
• Some of your nomad allies survive; the vibe is more hopeful.
  Positives:
• Strong emotional payoff if you’ve done Panam’s side-quests.
• More of a “freedom” ending, less corporate deal.
  Negatives:
• Still heavy cost to V; the “you” of V may not fully survive. citeturn0search12turn0search0
• Not totally clean or perfect; there’s risk, loss, ambiguity.
  Summary: One of the “best” emotional outcomes for many players, but still bittersweet.

What happens:

• You pick the rooftop option to go with entity["people","Rogue Amendiares",0] (and Johnny) into the final assault. citeturn0search3
• Johnny takes over V’s body (in some story interpretations), V’s original self is effectively gone. citeturn0search12turn0search0
• Rogue and others survive with varying results; more hero-style ending.
  Positives:
• Very cinematic, dramatic.
• If you liked Johnny’s arc, this hits hard.
  Negatives:
• V loses control/blends with Johnny; may feel like you’re playing Johnny more than V.
• Again, the survival of your version of V is dubious.
  Summary: Strong finish, especially for Johnny-fans, but heavy on sacrifice for V.

4. “Temperance” / Give Up V’s Body to Johnny

What happens:

• V willingly gives their body to Johnny and exits (goes beyond the Blackwall) with entity["people","Alt Cunningham",0]. Many see this as V sacrificing themselves so Johnny can live. citeturn0search7
• V’s body lives (sort of) with Johnny in control; V loses their place.
  Positives:
• High emotional and thematic resonance: sacrifice, “what it means to be yourself”.
• Less “corp deal”, more self-determination (in a weird way).
  Negatives:
• If you cared about V staying as V, this is deeply bittersweet.
• You give up the character you’ve been playing.
  Summary: One of the more philosophical endings; heavy, not easy.

• The credits roll; major characters’ arcs may not resolve optimally.
  Positives:
• Very tragic, very definitive.
• If you want a dark closure, this one nails it.
  Negatives:
• Almost no “up-side”; V dies.
• Many questions remain unresolved.
  Summary: The bleakest ending; effective, but emotionally heavy and not “happy”.

6. Secret Ending (“Don’t Fear the Reaper”)

What happens:

• You trigger it by meeting specific requirements (dialogue with Johnny in Chippin’ In + waiting silently on the rooftop). citeturn0search1turn0search3
• V and Johnny assault Arasaka Tower solo (no big teams). The outcome is a more “legendary hero” style ending.
• The actual survival risk is very high; you're on your own.
  Positives:
• Feels like a “best of both worlds” for many: heroic, high stakes, big payoff.
• Greatest emotional satisfaction for many players.
  Negatives:
• Very difficult to trigger.
• Still not a “safe” perfect ending; V’s survival is still ambiguous in deeper lore. citeturn0search12
  Summary: If you managed the prerequisites, this is arguably the “coolest” ending story-wise.

Final thoughts & guiding you

Since you already have done 200+ jobs and are deep into the story, here are my suggestions based on how you want to feel about your ending:

• If you want heroic and emotional payoff, aim for The Star or Secret Ending.
• If you want dramatic Johnny resolution, go for The Sun.
• If you want philosophical or “meaningful sacrifice”, go for Temperance.
• If you want straightforward corporate outcome (with heavy cost), The Devil.
• If you are ready to close the book with no hope of playing on, the Suicide route works.

One key thing: in almost all endings, V’s original self is arguably gone in one way or another (either through engram upload/soulkiller or by handing over their body). Many threads emphasise this. citeturn0search12turn0search1 So if one of your priorities is “V lives as V”, you’ll want to choose carefully (and possibly aim for the DLC/expansion path) but that gets into more lore than you asked.

---

If you like, I can pull together a compact table with each ending and who survives/dies/what state they’re in (for major characters: V, Johnny, Panam, Rogue, Hanako) so you can compare side-by-side quickly.

G: Good summary instinct — and yes, you’re right to ask. The answer is:

The core objective (assault on Arasaka Tower and what happens after) stays conceptually the same,
but each ending’s mission is a distinct variant — different allies, infiltration method, dialogue, and epilogue scenes.

Here’s the breakdown of what changes and what doesn’t:

---

🧭 What Stays the Same

• Goal: infiltrate Arasaka Tower and deal with the Relic / Mikoshi problem.
• Final Decision Point: you always end up choosing whether V or Johnny keeps the body.
• Tone: all routes climax in the same location and resolve the Relic plotline.
• Structure: infiltration → climactic fight → Mikoshi decision → epilogue.

So narratively, you’re still completing the same story arc.

---

⚙️ What Changes (Major Differences per Route)

1. Arasaka / The Devil

• Mission Name: Totalimmortal
• Allies: Arasaka forces; you walk in as their guest, not an invader.
• Gameplay Style: infiltration is clean and corporate, then turns on you near the end.
• Tone: cold, political, no freedom.
• Ending Variation: sterile, corporate-controlled lab environments.

2. Aldecaldos / The Star

• Mission Name: We Gotta Live Together → Forward to Death → Belly of the Beast
• Allies: Panam, Saul, Mitch, and the Nomads.
• Gameplay Style: full-scale assault with vehicles, mechs, and Nomad firepower.
• Tone: family, hope, rebellion.
• Ending Variation: open-sky finale and heartfelt goodbyes; feels like freedom.

3. Rogue / The Sun

• Mission Name: Changes → Belly of the Beast
• Allies: Rogue, Weyland, and Netrunner support.
• Gameplay Style: high-tech infiltration from above, guns blazing with Johnny leading.
• Tone: cinematic, rock-star rebellion energy.
• Ending Variation: climactic death scene for Rogue (if you pick her route), massive explosions, very Johnny-focused.

4. Secret / Don’t Fear the Reaper

• Mission Name: same as The Sun variant, but solo.
• Allies: none — you go in alone.
• Gameplay Style: extremely difficult — you fight every Arasaka guard solo with no checkpoints.
• Tone: pure legend, “one-man army.”
• Ending Variation: same Mikoshi branch choices, but unique dialogue acknowledging your solo run.

5. Temperance / Give Up V’s Body

• Mission Name: depends on route you took to get there, but the epilogue is completely different.
• Gameplay Style: same as your chosen route’s infiltration, but ending shifts to Johnny’s POV.
• Tone: reflective, philosophical, somber.
• Ending Variation: Johnny living as V; visits a guitar shop, symbolic closure.

6. Path of Least Resistance / Suicide

• Mission Name: Path of Least Resistance
• Gameplay Style: none; it’s an immediate end choice.
• Tone: tragic, abrupt.
• Ending Variation: direct cut to credits.

---

🎮 How Replayable It Is

If you do two or three full runs:

• You’ll see completely different final missions for at least the Arasaka, Aldecaldo, and Rogue routes.
• Epilogues are unique — even the same route changes slightly depending on whether V or Johnny survives.
• The Secret Ending uses the Rogue mission map but plays entirely differently because you’re alone.

---

In short:

Each ending feels like a separate mission with distinct tone and allies, even though the core goal is identical.

If you’re planning multiple runs, you’ll get new gameplay and emotional beats each time — not just dialogue swaps.

G: Exactly right — “Temperance” isn’t its own route, it’s the final fork that appears after you’ve completed the final mission of whichever route you chose (Arasaka, Panam, Rogue, or Secret).

Think of it like this:

Each ending path (Star, Sun, Devil, Secret) leads you to the same destination — the Mikoshi interface.
There, you face the ultimate decision: who keeps the body.
That’s where Temperance comes from.

Here’s the structure clearly laid out:

---

🧩 Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. You choose a plan on the rooftop (Hanako / Panam / Rogue / Secret).

   • This determines how you assault Arasaka Tower and who helps you.

2. You fight through the final mission.

   • “Belly of the Beast” and “Totalimmortal” are examples, depending on route.

3. You reach Mikoshi — the digital transfer point run by Alt Cunningham.

   • Alt offers you a chance to separate Johnny and V completely.
   • At this moment, she opens two “doors”:
     • One for V’s engram (your consciousness).
     • One for Johnny’s.

4. You decide who steps through which door.

   • If V enters Mikoshi (and gives up the body):
     → Johnny stays in the body, alive in Night City.
     → This outcome is labeled Temperance.
   • If Johnny enters Mikoshi (and gives up the body):
     → V stays in the body, possibly with a short lifespan.
     → Depending on your route, this yields The Star, The Sun, or The Devil ending.

🎭 Meaning of “Temperance”

It’s the tarot card name for the “Johnny keeps the body” resolution.

• It’s not a separate mission or approach.
• It’s an epilogue variant available after completing any of the main assault routes (except the suicide one).

---

🧠 Quick Summary

Phase	Choice	Result
Rooftop (Nocturne OP55N1)	Who leads the attack? (Hanako / Panam / Rogue / Secret / Suicide)	Determines mission path
Mikoshi Interface (final decision)	Who stays in the body?	Determines epilogue variant
	V keeps the body → Star, Sun, or Devil ending	V lives on (limited time)
	Johnny keeps the body → Temperance ending	Johnny lives on, V gone

---

So, to answer directly:
Temperance happens after you succeed.
You’ll know it’s coming when Alt opens two glowing doors and says something like “It’s time to choose.”
That’s the final, irreversible moment of the entire game.
