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.

Which ending keeps V alive?

V lives in several endings, most notably the Phantom Liberty "Don't Fear the Reaper" path where they find a potential cure with the help of the FIA (leading to a longer, but still uncertain, survival) and the Arasaka ending (if you refuse to become an engram and go back to Earth, giving you 6 months). The most definitive "V lives long" ending involves the Phantom Liberty expansion's new path where V gets the Relic removed, but faces a life with damaged cyberware and a ticking clock, with hints of a potential cure in the future.

Should I turn Songbird to Reed?

Deciding whether to give Songbird to Reed in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty depends on your desired ending, as it's a pivotal betrayal with significant consequences, often leading to the "King of Pentacles" ending where V gets a potential (but costly) cure, while siding with Songbird leads to the "King of Cups" path. Handing Songbird to Reed offers the NUSA's promised cure, but you lose your combat abilities and friends, while siding with Songbird means a more rebellious path, but no cure and potential betrayal from her.

The saddest Cyberpunk 2077 endings often revolve around losing loved ones, the futility of V's struggle, or the bleak choices presented, with the Suicide ending (The Sun's Path), the Phantom Liberty cure ending where V loses everything, and the Arasaka-backed "Devil" ending (betraying friends for a false promise) cited as the most heartbreaking due to overwhelming loss, isolation, or moral compromises, even as some find the Nomad "Star" ending bittersweet with its limited time and lost connections.

Should I give so mi to reed?

Deciding whether to give So Mi to Reed in Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC depends on your desired outcome, as both paths have significant narrative and reward differences: siding with Reed (giving So Mi) can net you better iconic gear and potentially a less tragic fate for Reed, but results in So Mi being imprisoned by the NUSA; siding with So Mi (killing Reed) offers unique rewards, protects her immediate freedom (sending her to the Moon), but leaves her vulnerable to future control and makes Reed hostile. It's a morally grey choice, with players often weighing personal connection, game rewards, and the fates of complex characters.

What is the secret ending of Phantom Liberty?

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty has several secret/alternative endings, most notably "The Tower", achieved by siding with Reed and betraying Songbird (handing her to him in "The Killing Moon" or refusing to kill her in "Somewhat Damaged"), leading to a cure but locking you out of the base game's endings; and the immediate, quick "President Myers Dies" ending by ignoring her crash after the plane event, making Songbird furious and ending the DLC immediately. The most iconic "secret" ending for the base game, "Don't Fear the Reaper," remains accessible and involves a solo storming of Arasaka Tower after bonding with Johnny.
