Can you save V's life?

Yes, there are ways to save V in Cyberpunk 2077, primarily through the Phantom Liberty DLC's "The Tower" ending, which allows V to live long-term but lose abilities and relationships, and through fan theories suggesting V could transfer their engram to a clone or new body, but the only guaranteed in-game survival path with hope for a new life is The Tower. Other paths, like The Sun/Secret endings, involve V becoming a legend but dying from the Relic's effects, while The Star (Nomad) leaves V with only months to live.

Is it possible to save V in Cyberpunk?

Yes, V can survive in Cyberpunk 2077, but it's never a guaranteed happy ending, relying on specific choices, especially in the Phantom Liberty DLC, with options ranging from short-term survival with nomads, becoming an AI construct, or signing with Arasaka, all leading to different levels of compromise or a potential new life, with the DLC offering the best chance at longer life, but at a cost. The core issue remains the Relic chip, which slowly kills V by overriding their brain, but some endings (like The Star or The Tower) offer ways to postpone or potentially overcome this, though often with major sacrifices.

Is there any way to keep V alive?

To keep V alive in Cyberpunk 2077, the best options involve specific endings like "The Star" (Nomad) or "The Sun" (Rogue/Johnny), where V seeks cures with allies, or "The Tower" (Phantom Liberty), which offers extended life but with new challenges, while generally avoiding "The Devil" (Arasaka) for best odds, though some theories suggest even that ending allows for engram transfer to a new body with help from contacts like Mr. Blue Eyes. The key is finding a way to fix V's brain damage after the Relic, often by exploring paths with the Aldecaldos or Rogue/Johnny for hope beyond Night City's limits.

Is there any ending that V lives?

Yes, V can live in some endings, most notably the Phantom Liberty "The Tower" ending where they get a cure (but lose everything else), and potentially in "The Sun" (Star Ending) or "The Devil (Arasaka)" (Return to Earth) if you interpret the lore/epilogues as hopeful paths where V finds a way to survive long-term. Most other endings involve V dying soon, becoming an engram in Mikoshi, or sacrificing their body to Johnny.

V Could Survive EVERY Ending of Cyberpunk 2077 - Here's How...

Can both V and Johnny survive?

In Cyberpunk 2077, V and Johnny Silverhand can't both live in the same body long-term; either V dies, Johnny dies/merges with Alt, or V gets a few months to live before dying, but the Phantom Liberty DLC offers "The Tower" ending where V lives but loses the ability to use cyberware, while Johnny effectively dies, and there's also an ambiguous ending where V goes to space, potentially "living" with Alt digitally, leaving Johnny in the body. The closest to a shared life is the Temperance ending, where Johnny takes V's body, and V's engram goes to Mikoshi, but that's not both living together.

Do you fight Adam Smasher in every ending?

Does V actually get cured?

Yes, V can get "cured" in Cyberpunk 2077, but it's never a perfect, happy ending; the main methods involve a costly NUSA surgery in the Phantom Liberty DLC, resulting in a two-year coma and loss of cyberware, or potentially surviving with limited time via Arasaka or other means, but always with significant sacrifices or uncertain futures, fitting the game's bleak cyberpunk theme.

Do you need 70% Johnny for Secret Ending?

Johnny and V's Relationship

Supporting him, helping him on missions, and generally siding with his values will increase your relationship. Remember that the required affinity threshold is 70% or higher, so if you've been too hostile or dismissive toward Johnny, this will lock you out of the secret ending.

Is V canonically a netrunner?

No, V isn't canonically a pure Netrunner; V is a versatile mercenary (Solo) who uses quickhacks (combat netrunning) effectively but isn't a deep-dive cyberspace explorer like dedicated Netrunners (T-Bug, Nix, Songbird), needing chaperones for complex Net dives, showing they're great at using hacks in the field, not being a Netrunner in the traditional sense.

What's the worst ending in Cyberpunk?

The "worst" ending in Cyberpunk 2077 is subjective, but often cited are The Suicide Ending (Path of Least Resistance) for its bleak finality, and The Devil Ending (Arasaka Deal) for V's soul-crushing betrayal and exploitation by the corporation, even if it offers a technical "cure". The Phantom Liberty expansion adds the King of Pentacles ending, considered objectively bleak as V loses friends and connection for a cure, perpetuating Night City's harsh cycle.

Can you let Adam Smasher live?

Yes, in Cyberpunk 2077, after defeating Adam Smasher in the final mission, you get a choice to either kill him or spare him, though lore-wise he's likely rebuilt by Arasaka, and sparing him mostly impacts your playthrough's moral choices rather than major story changes. Sparing him can be for pacifist runs, to keep a potential future character, or because some players see him as just doing a job.

Should you give Johnny your body?

Deciding whether to give Johnny Silverhand your body in Cyberpunk 2077 is a major story choice, often considered the "Temperance" ending, with fans debating if it's a selfish act by Johnny or a chance for his redemption, allowing him to live while V's consciousness might join Alt, though it means V's friends grieve, and V faces a potentially bleak fate or digital non-existence, with no universally "good" outcome but different ways to conclude V's story.
