Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty: Time To Decide To Side Either With Songbird Or Reed
The Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty occurs during the final scenes in the Firestarter quest. As you're talking with Songbird, who is activating the device, you'll be presented with two options:
- Help Songbrid escape: "I'm with you."
- Help Reed capture Songbird: "One more second.."
Think carefully before choosing to support either of them without understanding the consequences each choice holds for you. And most importantly: Save manually before you choose anything!
So let's get into it!
Side With Songbird
Once you sided with Songbird the events come thick and fast and that's what's happening:
- Alex will kill Hansen, and you won't need to worry about him anymore.
- Songbird will aid you by using her hacking abilities as you make your way out of the stadium.
- Once you've cleared out the entrance area, do not go down the elevator.
If you'll take the elevator into the basement, Reed will be waiting for you down below. He'll instantly kill you on sight, as you betrayed him.
After you escaped the stadium, Songbird will contact you eventually and give you the next quest, "The Killing Moon". Where another particular decision will wait for you...
Side With Reed
Once you sided with Reed, things will go down an entirely different road:
- Hansen will kill Alex, and you'll have to escape the stadium on your own.
- Hansen will show up later on, and you need to fight him.
- You'll then ride the elevator and escape inside Reed's vehicle.
After the events, you two will see Songbird captured by Night City's security forces, but this isn't the end... right?
Correct! This finale has two separate missions you need to complete in order to move forward. After completing the mission "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" and "Somewhat Damaged", you'll witness the conclusion of the Phantom Liberty expansion and have access to the new ending for the main campaign as well.
It's not easy, but you can handle it!
