@@Devonimp good point...but jackie was long dead before they hit im with soul killer. They only extracted info from him. Not the way other engrams operate
@@Flameville It... kinda depends how the whole thing works in my opinion. How long is the soul bound to the body after death? Is it until decomposition or immediate? Or something else? If it's immediate, then how did V 'come back' when the biochip kicked in? Did V HAVE a soul at that point or were they just the remains acting out what was contained in the brain? If V DID come back, does soulkiller jumpstart the brain? Would that drag Jackie's soul back? Is this all pointless speculation and there is no such thing in universe as a soul? There's honestly a lot of questions surrounding this whole affair, and I'll be the first to say each answer is just as valid as any other from what I know.
Woulda hit harder without all the bugs and glitches it took to get there. I got the best ending for me the 1st playthrough after watching them all. It says a lot that i STILL enjoyed the game in spite of everything.
Characters really to care about V, this is a great game with a great story, its a shame the mechanics, environmental and AI were not on par with GTAV, RDR2 or TLOU2, but you can't fault the story and the side missions.
Suicide mission: exists Lv 50 V with maxed out items, 10000 armor and a legendary Satori critting for 30k+ damage strutting into the Arasaka tower: "I'm not locked here with you... you are locked here with me"
Walked in with armor packed with maxed armadillo mods and still very difficult. Also I noticed the more you linger before you reach mikoshi your max health drains slowly because of the relic
@@corgansow7176 yeah I know, but personally being able to survive a few hits was more than enough. I was slowing time and executing enemies with the katana, all the perks I invested into movement speed also helped me clearing enemies before they could react
People, plz tell me how not to die from first bullet in that fight ? I got around 3.5 k armour, 43 lvl... Hard difficulty. That's more like real suicide mission in which you die anyway...
Took me 5 tries +2 on Smasher on Very Hard. Lvl 50 with all iconic armor only + Health Booster. Used Overwatch, Malorian, Comrade's Hammer, Divided We Stand. Comrade's Hammer is OP. I just down Smasher to 50% with just Short Circuit
I remember doing that mission with the depressed/scared Delamain. "Epistrophy: North Oak," I think? I would say that was one of my favorite missions. I mostly stayed between 15 to 30 MPH, never peaked more than 50 MPH the entire drive. I feel like I relate to him the most, but that being said, I'm currently playing "Holdin' On." Who knows? Maybe I relate to Kerry more.
I think it's really great that this ending (considered as a suicide) shows how much suicide affects others and is not a good option and a way to go, just like real life. They made a very good job with making you feel like shit because, that's what it feels to others.
It even gave the different type of reactions when someone close commits suicide with Vik holding back his emotions, Judy laying it to bare (which was fucking heartbreaking amazing job from the VA), Panam who’s pissed (while coming from a place of care) that you would off yourself, and Misty who wants to understand and finds a silver lining. If Jackie was alive and heard you killed yourself..... jeez I’m just glad I don’t have to know
@@heyjoji1954 i like the little touch that vik has sunglasses (i dont remember him having them otherwise) which might suggest that hes been mourning V and doesnt want people to see his red eyes.
If suicide is an emotional, sudden, impulsive choice. I agree. However there is another part to suicide. If there's a long term pain you can't survive. Like permanent love sorrow. Losing your children or family. Being terminally ill. Calling suicide selfish in the latter, is plain evil. Because if someone is in a permanent state where the pain of living exceeds any joy and pleasure in life, said person has a RIGHT to choose not to live anymore. If not wanting to live is a choice made when one has exhausted all other options, and having given it time. No one - NO ONE - has the right to guilt trip you into staying alive only to proceed with continued meaningless suffering.
But in both you die soooo the same situation. But you don't have to die, be stronger character and maybe you will do it, endure and survive killing everybody
Well it's a suicide mission, you essentially tried to go after an army alone without asking for any of your friends for help. That's suicide no matter how you look at it.
@@Joel-wx7zk Except it's totally different. People call you to complain about you killing yourself, not for failling a mission which is a totally different thing. It's kind of like the difference between a soldier dying in a heroic, but hopeless, last defence vs just killing himself, one is more acceptable than the other.
@@MichaelDavis-mk4me WIllingly entering a lions den to have a fistfight with it is called suicide, the same way you would call a single guy soloing one of the biggest corps in the 2077 world. If V makes it to Mikoshi, he is a legend, if he dies, he committed suicide.
@@qw8277 It's called a suicide mission, not a suicide, big difference. Suicide: Just give up Suicide mission: Either win glorious or at least die trying. It still counts as suicide cause you intentionally chose a neigh impossible path with little to no chances of success. It's kinda like ME2. The suicide mission there is supposed to end in your death because the feats are against you and you know it but you don't have another choice
Except it's totally different. People call you to complain about you killing yourself, not for failling a mission which is a totally different thing. It's kind of like the difference between a soldier dying in a heroic, but hopeless, last defence vs just killing himself, one is more acceptable than the other.
@@MichaelDavis-mk4me It's still suicidal. You enter a building guarded by an army, on your own. The odds are totally against you. Going in a fight which has a 90% of you dying because you are outnumbered is suicide. Hence it is called suicide mission.
@@19Sephirot93 Yes, but people treating it like a suicide is still dumb. Like the Samurai who fought in the Battle of Shiroyama were suicidal, but they didn't kill themselves, huge difference. Like River saying you blew your brains out is just plain not true or Panam saying you are a coward. So yeah, not a suicide.
Disappointing but then again who would want this as there actual ending like on purpose anyway “how did you finish cyberpunk?” -“oh i wanted to get killed during the suicide mission thought it would be an epic way to die and finish the game”- said no one
I absolutely love Judy Out of all the side characters I feel like at times she’s the most relatable When I chose the Suicide ending I honestly felt so bad after seeing her message the most
I love how the Relic with "Secure your Soul" is right there in front of you on the balcony of Misty's place. Might be a scripted subtlety, nonetheless a nice touch for what's about to happen.
@@tourbean790 I honestly thought you had to actively try to get that, because if even one squad member is alive you get yourself pulled up lol. So you had to have done 0 loyalty missions, 0 upgrades, and chosen the wrong person for every submission.

This hurts me so much that I will never be able to bring it to heart doing any bad ending in my playthrough. Thank god I got the best ending on my first playthrough with Judy and Panam leaving Night City. Especially when V is in a relationship with Judy made me cry in tears of joy.
@@jomama2858 Can’t blame you. I did turn the difficulty to easy just for this mission just to know how it goes so I can play it again with a very hard difficulty later on.
Did it when I was lv 45, Sandevistan Katana build, only adam smasher was kinda annoying towards the end when he starts launching rockets, other than thatI kinda breezed it through that mission lol xD

Judy continues the relationship and joins you on the journey to Arizona if you choose the Panam ending. About the only ending that has a hopeful ending with most main characters remaining.
I over prepared for this mission. I stocked up on all ammo. I had armour in the 2,000s I stocked up on as many maxdocs mk3s as I could. Made sure I had the best cyberware possible with my related attributes And all my weapons were legendary. I died once, and even then I had a second heart to pick me up
As soon as I started this quest, friendship 70 with Johnny, I was so fuckin' hyped. The game hit me hard, the emotions between V and Silverhand just hurt. I loved them. When I first got the gane, I thought that I wouldn't like it, but I did. And the shit that happened because I did. I TRIED EVERYTHING TO MAKE EVERYTHING GO RIGHT. But as soon as I got into Arasaka's tower.... I was killed in 1 shot. Level 21. The end credits are rolling now, in the Russian Localization section, and I'm devastated.
Same, but in the end I gave Johnny my body. He could live out a full life, while V only gets 6 months. Johnny also changed enough with V where he'd be different in his second chance... Sad for Panam, but it seemed the lesser evil here.
@@agentundercover Well it also seems that V lives longer with Panam. Its possible, but until we get DLC that either confirms how thatd go...we wont know 100%. I just hope we get more of a storyline for our romance choices. Judy for women, and Panam for the guys.
In this ending I was so focused when fighting the saka agents knowing there was no back up, no one to come save the day. I figured there were checkpoints but damn, I guess I had a real reason for my heart pumping when i came close to dying several times.
@@StormBringare I know, but after spending 7 minutes clicking back and forth thtu dialogue options, it would've made a better vid to move thru the talking choice a little quicker and at least make something of an effort in the fight lol
@@dustinjones7458 oh it made V a legend alright but for all the wrong reasons. Kinda like where I came from a guy became a legend because he thought he'd be fine if he licked an electric power line, he pretty much fried himself. He was known as a legend in my town. Legendarily stupid that is...
Yup, to me it doesn't make sense tho that V still tries the biggest heist after the soloing arasaka like a mad man since thats probably the most legendary thing anyone has done in night city. I get it in the rogue ending since Johnny was the one using your body and V wanted to be the one to go with alt to survive V wanted to be remembered as a legend and that's what he will become after the heist
@Master Oak I mean after soloing arasaka and comming out alive V should be the biggest legend in night city he doesn't need to stamp his legacy with the space heist
@Master Oak yeah it doesn't make sense that the dude that literally walked thru the front door of the of the most protected place in the city got to there most important project then blew it up and got out basically unscathed would need to prove themselves to anybody is abusrd I mean no one has done anything close as bad ass as that
@@7Kibz But he's not doing the space heist to prove himself. Everyone else thinks thats the case, but its actually because Mr. Blue Eyes promised him some kind of treatment
Lol same, I stayed up for about 2 or so hours trying to beat this ending. I was lvl 41 and had no idea why the enemies where so OP, but evantually I won. Funny enough Smasher was the easiest cause with a melee you just stun lock him.
@@Live.Laugh.Lobotomy no, apparently you need a specific synergy percentage with Johnny, the middle number of the 3. Mine was at 60% after doing all the Johnny side band missions and it does not unlock then. It's all in dialogue.
You have to agree with Johnny alot and do his bands side missions. If your synergy percentage is at 70% (the minimum) then you're good to go. Idk if its important but a video said you have to select the option "the guy who saved my life" when Johnny asks you what you would write on his grave. Then just wait 5 minutes like this video did and you'll start the secret mission
@@obesedragon4922 no one has accomplished it yet. Even on easy mode these enemies will two shot you. It honestly might not be possible, its probably just a suicide mission
Today I tried like literally 3 hours with my netrunner build to pass this mission. Oh my god it was a disaster. Guys FYI you're not gonna pass this missions if you're not either you are lvl 50 or you're a netrunner.
@@jekavactv I did all the steps except saying that "the guy who saved my life" would be his tombstone. I got to 60% and can't get the extra dialogue to trigger. Do you know if i would have to replay the whole thing or is it possible to get any more % with him? finished the side missions with him & rogue.
@@axeldrive4646 It seems like the % with Johny doesn't matter at all (which really sucks and is misleading imo). It all comes down to VERY specific dialogue choices you make during the end of "Chipping in". There are guides out there that show the correct options for the dialogue. I also didn't know this my first playthrough and got locked out of the ending. Did a second playthrough (which I was going to do anyway) followed one of guides for the dialogue and got it to trigger. The ending you get from it is identical to the one where you charge in with Rogue anyways, with exception of Rogue being alive. So all in all you don't miss anything. It's just a fun challenge to do.
@@01imh Not surprising considering this game is very broken when it comes to optimizetion. Saw a guy do 20k damage with one shot with just a pistol. You can also one shot anything with the arm launcher's tranquilizer rounds.
Wonder if it's possible with don't fear the reaper if Johnny makes up with rogue, V going in alone and defeating everyone but then choosing to let Johnny have the body. If Johnny would be in bar with rogue instead of V for the secret ending? Anyone tried that?
ruclips.net/video/ZVLelRSF9Fg/видео.html&ab_channel=ramzzrulezz Here is a video of one person who did it. Advice, get to lv 50, get good equipment, fully upgrade them all, and switch to a dps build (sneak is useless and hack is comparatively unreliable). Also bring full ammunition before the attempt. You can't craft anything once you are in. You will have to destroy a minimum of two robots so having good melee might be useful. Alternatively play on Easy. It should be more manageable. Hopefully.
@@PuchimonExtreme wrong you can craft while you’re in there i kept crafting pistol ammo also from when i did it i had to fight 3 big robots but its easy just shoot the left and right guns and you take like 80-90% of its health also getting high level is “very”useful in this case but not necessary just takes careful dogging jumping and shooting and lots of grenades
@@ProgressMakesPerfect Seriously? I couldn't craft (I tried to make EMP grenades which I later found out on my second try was also worthless) and I wasted all my ammo on the big robots. Broke the left and right arms for about 25% dmg. (after which I did chip dmg). Then I went melee, slipped up once and died in 1 hit. I was lv 42 though and the robot had the skull on the head for "too high lv for u". Meanwhile the humans died in 1-2 headshot from my pistol and sniper. For crafting, maybe I did not have the chance to drop out of combat. For the bot. I seriously have no fkin idea. Either that thing tanks way too much or the fully upgraded legendary Crash pistol is worthless.
@@PuchimonExtreme I did this ending just a few hours ago at level 37 (Normal difficulty). Took a max upgraded satori and defense build to finish the quest. Would be advisable if you take a lot of meds and few emp grenades. Also, your health keeps decreasing every moment cuz of the relic malfunction.
Is there just me kinda wishing there was just a merge ending, kinda like corp route but without taking away the relic just to see what would actually happen, because while everyone told you what’s gonna happen they don’t really know as it seems that that sort of thing never happened before and if your friends with Johnny you’d think he’d at least keep V as a sort of engram or they would switch place unconsciously. I don’t know just thinking.
I feel it's very unfair on V , she tried everything and she didn't killed herself , she died trying , fighting ! There's no good ending to this game anyway
i’m level 50, manage to beat Dont Fear The Reaper without dying, my trusty weapon was actually Legendary Crash (river’s gun) and Legendary Tinkerbell 🤣 then i did Rogue Ending and beat Adam Smasher with Caretaker’s Spade. Melee weapons are the best!
Wish they would have said that they heard what happened in Arasaka on tv/radio or something instead of the same suicide ending dialogue Also i did what the description said to do to get the 70% but im at 60% wtf
I called him a terrorist and raging asshole at his grave for the lolz and I regret it so much now because it robbed me of the 10% and now I need to replay the whole game to get 70% with him, other than that I treated him like a friend but damn I thought the terrorist and a raging asshole was like a friendly joke but I guess not
@@another_generic_username404 yeah i did all that already. maybe it bumps to 70 when i start the last quest? idk i did the grave stuff already and he seemed pretty happy. did all the rogue stuff too hmmm
So, when you reload back to the save before entering the mission after dying from this, can you still do the secret ending, or are you locked out from it?
so, wait, theres more than one secret ending? I thought the "secret ending" was going into arasaka alone with johnny and then deciding between keeping the body or giving it to him. so theres theres more sub secret endings than that?
@@JaM-R2TR4 They can’t scratch me on very high danger missions 😂..and I’m immune to burn,shock and poison..and I have a second heart top of that..but I’ll will give this a try now

Do we not hear it cause there's no afterlife...
Or cause Arasaka used SOULKILLER on Jackie's body.

@@agentundercover Well it also seems that V lives longer with Panam. Its possible, but until we get DLC that either confirms how thatd go...we wont know 100%.
I just hope we get more of a storyline for our romance choices.
Judy for women, and Panam for the guys.
@@SoulKiller7Eternal and River and Kerry, but otherwise 100% agree with you about wishing for more
Good fucking night samurai. We have a dream to watch.
In this ending I was so focused when fighting the saka agents knowing there was no back up, no one to come save the day. I figured there were checkpoints but damn, I guess I had a real reason for my heart pumping when i came close to dying several times.
Tbh running in with a bat and dying immediately is soured this vid for me.
It was made to showcase this specific ending though.
@@StormBringare I know, but after spending 7 minutes clicking back and forth thtu dialogue options, it would've made a better vid to move thru the talking choice a little quicker and at least make something of an effort in the fight lol
"Time to die like a legend."
_Gets beaten up by Araska Receptionists_
@@dustinjones7458 oh it made V a legend alright but for all the wrong reasons.
Kinda like where I came from a guy became a legend because he thought he'd be fine if he licked an electric power line, he pretty much fried himself.
He was known as a legend in my town.
Legendarily stupid that is...
I'm pissed, literally got killed as soon as I walked in the door. Didn't even get the chance to save.
So if you die storming the tower, you get the suicide ending, but if you survive, you get the rogue ending without rogue dying?
Yup, to me it doesn't make sense tho that V still tries the biggest heist after the soloing arasaka like a mad man since thats probably the most legendary thing anyone has done in night city. I get it in the rogue ending since Johnny was the one using your body and V wanted to be the one to go with alt to survive V wanted to be remembered as a legend and that's what he will become after the heist
Kinda sucks that you cant just leave with the nomads if you do survive.
@Master Oak I mean after soloing arasaka and comming out alive V should be the biggest legend in night city he doesn't need to stamp his legacy with the space heist
@Master Oak yeah it doesn't make sense that the dude that literally walked thru the front door of the of the most protected place in the city got to there most important project then blew it up and got out basically unscathed would need to prove themselves to anybody is abusrd I mean no one has done anything close as bad ass as that
@@7Kibz But he's not doing the space heist to prove himself. Everyone else thinks thats the case, but its actually because Mr. Blue Eyes promised him some kind of treatment
Holy moly, I didn't know this was an actually possible ending WTF
Great job thanks.
I kinda dont want to experience it tho just to have played it lol
Ah kinda disappointed now after watching all of it. It's just the same as if you choose suicide.. well it kinda was the same as suicide I guess..
That was the first ending I did, just out of curiosity, and ended up crying like a bitch
Lol same, I stayed up for about 2 or so hours trying to beat this ending. I was lvl 41 and had no idea why the enemies where so OP, but evantually I won. Funny enough Smasher was the easiest cause with a melee you just stun lock him.
The amount of people in the comments who didn’t read the title is ridiculous
Misty: take your time
V: no, I don't think I will *rushes arasaka tower*
I grinned like an idiot as soon as Johnny‘s theme started playing haha
Don't mind me I'm just hypnotized by Johnny's dog tags having independent physics
So just idle for about 5 minutes and this'll just happen or did you select the option?
I’m pretty sure you just idle
@@Live.Laugh.Lobotomy no, apparently you need a specific synergy percentage with Johnny, the middle number of the 3. Mine was at 60% after doing all the Johnny side band missions and it does not unlock then. It's all in dialogue.
You have to agree with Johnny alot and do his bands side missions. If your synergy percentage is at 70% (the minimum) then you're good to go. Idk if its important but a video said you have to select the option "the guy who saved my life" when Johnny asks you what you would write on his grave. Then just wait 5 minutes like this video did and you'll start the secret mission
@@reinborn8667 I got this ending
jahbama what was your synergy level at?
then at the end a final vid:
delamain: V one of my vehicles went dark near your location
If you planning to die on this ending, do it after you smashed Adam Smasher.
Smasher mission is a bit “harder” in this since your health reduces every few minute due to relic but it’s still not hard at all.
Doing the ending this way is kinda good in its own tragic way. And more realistic, as doing all that alone with no help would be impossible
I tried to do this ending and I got clapped right away and I was flabbergasted when I saw everyone at the end😭
bro was shook when he found out he couldn’t respawn
This is the only ending I have yet to do. As a high level Netrunner with some unique hacks I plan on casually walking through it like a boss.
I mean... is it possible to beat all enemies and get more out of this ending??
yea
@@mimu3240 Then what happens?
@@obesedragon4922 no one has accomplished it yet. Even on easy mode these enemies will two shot you. It honestly might not be possible, its probably just a suicide mission
@@subjectdelta17 No it's been done, it's the John Wick ending as i like to call it lol where you solo a fucking Megacorporation and win.
@@Foogi9000 We need hackers to make a mod now
Kerry's and Judy's calls affected me the most. But all of them are absolutely nailed
That’s the same response voice messages that I got when I had V un-alive herself
Today I tried like literally 3 hours with my netrunner build to pass this mission. Oh my god it was a disaster. Guys FYI you're not gonna pass this missions if you're not either you are lvl 50 or you're a netrunner.
The obligatory soundtrack for taking this one last battle is "See You, Space Cowboy" from the last episode of «Cowboy Bebop»
So you do have to wait the entire 5 mins before it procs.
I think the further you get into the tower before dying the dialog should be different not the suicide dialog.
Yeah this almost change my dream of being a special forces and go to a heroic suicidal mission and have a cool looking grave
You don't need 70 percent it can be 50 to 60 and 70
@@jekavactv I did all the steps except saying that "the guy who saved my life" would be his tombstone. I got to 60% and can't get the extra dialogue to trigger. Do you know if i would have to replay the whole thing or is it possible to get any more % with him? finished the side missions with him & rogue.
@@jekavactv I have
@@jekavactv Alright, ty for the help. It's a shame 1 dialog option can decide whetever you can get it or not :S
@@axeldrive4646 It seems like the % with Johny doesn't matter at all (which really sucks and is misleading imo). It all comes down to VERY specific dialogue choices you make during the end of "Chipping in". There are guides out there that show the correct options for the dialogue. I also didn't know this my first playthrough and got locked out of the ending. Did a second playthrough (which I was going to do anyway) followed one of guides for the dialogue and got it to trigger. The ending you get from it is identical to the one where you charge in with Rogue anyways, with exception of Rogue being alive. So all in all you don't miss anything. It's just a fun challenge to do.
It worked for me at 50 that's weird
this is message for people who have suicidal thoughts
Misty is cute like always, but sad too...
If you make it through everyone seems pretty happy in the calls
What happens if you beat smasher solo
Someone did it on RUclips, with a fucking samurai sword 🤩🤩 was epic. Probably used a trainer or something cuz my man did not die once
@@01imh it's pretty easy to get super over powered if you grind a lot. A lot of the melee build you become near invincible once you're build enough.
@@01imh Not surprising considering this game is very broken when it comes to optimizetion. Saw a guy do 20k damage with one shot with just a pistol. You can also one shot anything with the arm launcher's tranquilizer rounds.
my build that i ran was doing 50k plus damage with a single headshot, so i kinda breezed through it.
Nobody has answered question
NC legends! know where you'll find most of em? *THE GRAVEYARD*
Can't believe how true this is now.
"Fear the Reaper"
interesting to see that both suicide endings are the same.
Wonder if it's possible with don't fear the reaper if Johnny makes up with rogue, V going in alone and defeating everyone but then choosing to let Johnny have the body. If Johnny would be in bar with rogue instead of V for the secret ending? Anyone tried that?
johhny leaves the city, anyone who knows he took V's body is mad at him, rogue tells him to never come back to the city
Anyone actually managed to finish this ending so far?
ruclips.net/video/ZVLelRSF9Fg/видео.html&ab_channel=ramzzrulezz
Here is a video of one person who did it.
Advice, get to lv 50, get good equipment, fully upgrade them all, and switch to a dps build (sneak is useless and hack is comparatively unreliable). Also bring full ammunition before the attempt. You can't craft anything once you are in. You will have to destroy a minimum of two robots so having good melee might be useful. Alternatively play on Easy. It should be more manageable. Hopefully.
@@PuchimonExtreme wrong you can craft while you’re in there i kept crafting pistol ammo also from when i did it i had to fight 3 big robots but its easy just shoot the left and right guns and you take like 80-90% of its health also getting high level is “very”useful in this case but not necessary just takes careful dogging jumping and shooting and lots of grenades
@@ProgressMakesPerfect Seriously? I couldn't craft (I tried to make EMP grenades which I later found out on my second try was also worthless) and I wasted all my ammo on the big robots. Broke the left and right arms for about 25% dmg. (after which I did chip dmg). Then I went melee, slipped up once and died in 1 hit.
I was lv 42 though and the robot had the skull on the head for "too high lv for u". Meanwhile the humans died in 1-2 headshot from my pistol and sniper.
For crafting, maybe I did not have the chance to drop out of combat. For the bot. I seriously have no fkin idea. Either that thing tanks way too much or the fully upgraded legendary Crash pistol is worthless.
@@PuchimonExtreme I did this ending just a few hours ago at level 37 (Normal difficulty). Took a max upgraded satori and defense build to finish the quest. Would be advisable if you take a lot of meds and few emp grenades. Also, your health keeps decreasing every moment cuz of the relic malfunction.
Yep. Was hard as nails. Funny part is that the last enemy is easier than the rest (no spoilers).
If this ending is required to get the platinum trophy then i dont think i want it anymore
Can someone try this mission with an infinite health cheat
Why?
So everyone thinks that you killed yourself when in reality you just got killed by guards?
One of the saddest endings in the game (especially for the people v romanced)
Wow only one life for that mission
same video messages as the suicide option
Is there just me kinda wishing there was just a merge ending, kinda like corp route but without taking away the relic just to see what would actually happen, because while everyone told you what’s gonna happen they don’t really know as it seems that that sort of thing never happened before and if your friends with Johnny you’d think he’d at least keep V as a sort of engram or they would switch place unconsciously. I don’t know just thinking.
Właśnie! Zawsze myślałem że jak Johnny przejmie ciało V to V zostanie engramem
Tried storming in at level 28 and died instantly
Weird, I did everything to get this synergy level to where I can do this and I still can’t get this ending. Kinda disappointing
Dying in the tower isnt a bad ending for me
What happens if u defeat them?
I never thought about it until now, but Panam looks awfully similar to Parvati from _The Outer Worlds._
I feel it's very unfair on V , she tried everything and she didn't killed herself , she died trying , fighting ! There's no good ending to this game anyway
that's the point
Does it delete your saves or can you just reload and try again
i’m level 50, manage to beat Dont Fear The Reaper without dying, my trusty weapon was actually Legendary Crash (river’s gun) and Legendary Tinkerbell 🤣 then i did Rogue Ending and beat Adam Smasher with Caretaker’s Spade. Melee weapons are the best!
Wish they would have said that they heard what happened in Arasaka on tv/radio or something instead of the same suicide ending dialogue
Also i did what the description said to do to get the 70% but im at 60% wtf
I called him a terrorist and raging asshole at his grave for the lolz and I regret it so much now because it robbed me of the 10% and now I need to replay the whole game to get 70% with him, other than that I treated him like a friend but damn I thought the terrorist and a raging asshole was like a friendly joke but I guess not
What’s the song playing during the dialogue at the end
I really feel like Victor liked V, in a more-then-friends way
Def get "son I never had" vibes off Vic
But can you restart this mission from scratch and replay the ending? Or is it this and no return to night city?
Do you just wait for him to offer you the suicide run?
If you say "hold on I need a minute" first, does it ruin it?
Im very courius what if you made it to the Mikoshi ?
Lets just say you use a trainer and make yourself immortal. Is it possible or not ?
I'm at 60% with Johnny with over 90+ hours into the game and a finished playthrough already. How do I get to 70??
@@another_generic_username404 yeah i did all that already. maybe it bumps to 70 when i start the last quest? idk i did the grave stuff already and he seemed pretty happy. did all the rogue stuff too hmmm
So, when you reload back to the save before entering the mission after dying from this, can you still do the secret ending, or are you locked out from it?
so can u try again after the credits like in the normal endings?
you cant
yes you can i actually tried so dont lie pls
WHY DID YOU WAIT SO LONG TO ANSWER JOHNNY 'S QUESTION
you have to wait 5 minutes numbwit
So he gets the secret ending
IF you survive, what happens?
same as rogue ending
When you died in this run, were your able to reload and try again?
Yeah, just skip through the ending voicemails/credits and it'll ask you if you wanna go back to your last save
panam is just mad
has anyone completed the tower alone ?
Yes there are videos of it
@@machofriz857 send a link

@@machofriz857 it’s fine I found one
can you not reload last save?
Nope. You have to idle another 5 minutes for another try.
If you can make it to the elevator, you have a chance to save.
so, wait, theres more than one secret ending?
I thought the "secret ending" was going into arasaka alone with johnny and then deciding between keeping the body or giving it to him.
so theres theres more sub secret endings than that?
Yep, nomad ending being the best of them
It was on very hard and I died to a glitch man I’m so sad
But did you start again in night city? Or is it like... You can't reload a game
Glad they can’t kill me because I have 4000 armor 😂
they will still kill you, because 4000 armor is just 100 DPS reduction...

Ffs the it won’t even let you do stealth forced u into combat at the start
i mean no point in it being a suicide mission if you just do stealth, kinda would defeat the purpose imo.
