What happens to Takemura at the end of Cyberpunk?

Goro Takemura's fate in Cyberpunk 2077 depends entirely on your choices, particularly whether you save him during the "Search and Destroy" mission; if saved and you side with Hanako in "The Devil" ending, he helps V fight Arasaka and survives, appearing at the orbital station; but if saved and you choose other paths, he commits ritual suicide (seppuku) out of shame, sending a final message; if not saved, he dies in the ambush, and you get Anders Hellman instead in the Arasaka ending, missing out on his support and "The Devil" achievement.

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.

Can V survive 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 V dead after Dex shoots him?

Yes, V technically dies when Dexter shoots them in the head, but the biochip (Relic) containing Johnny Silverhand's engram activates, resuscitating V by essentially overwriting their dying brain with Johnny's copy and nanites, making V a "cybernetic zombie" fighting for control with Johnny's personality, meaning V is "dead" in a sense, but kept alive by the chip's programming, setting up the game's central conflict.

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.

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.

Who should I betray in Phantom Liberty?

In Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty, you ultimately betray either Songbird (So Mi) or Solomon Reed, depending on your choices during the "Firestarter" mission and later, but betraying Songbird by handing her to Reed often leads to considered "worst" outcomes, while siding with her to help her escape to the moon (betraying Reed and NUSA) unlocks a different path, with major story branches affecting V's cure, rewards, and character arcs, but no ending is perfectly happy.
