My favorite ending. V enters true legend status, the one capable of the impossible, only because every moment from this point forward, is at the intensity of his final flourish. He has accepted his end, and there is no fear left, only rage. His indomitable will sees him through the most impossible of odds to the nth degree because he’s angrier and he wants it more than you
@@bossmitchell3455 panam ending is only good if you're playing as a male character and romance her. As a female v rather just do fear the reaper and skip the aldecaldo ending even though it is the most wholesome by far. That ending shot riding on the car with panam holding the bullet chain before it flies off. The symbolism as if losing the last piece holding you to night city as you don't look back and start a new life, love it
@@95v37 the story reward is just getting the sun ending with rogue still alive tbh. Even without that though its my favorite way to end the game because of how challenging it is and how amazing the music is and how terrified the saka goons are of you for singlehandedly wiping them out
V walked into Arasaka Tower, fully expecting to die. But in the end, he did what even Morgan Blackhand, a team of elite Militech troops and the best mercs in Night City couldn't do. And for it, he became a Legend. V the Solo, risen from death, because the Reaper feared him.
Goddamn this ending is such a power fantasy, I love what V says though "If I gotta die, rather fall into my grave gun in hand and on fire, and not drag anyone down with me." V got himself into this mess, only fitting he's going to be the one to get him out of it.
The rooftop scene at 18:30 is absolutely thrilling. V finally committing to his terminal fate, Johnny enthusiastically nodding to V's deathwish, Johnny ditches his cigarette as he stands to pick up V, bass starts to drown out the depressing synths, V's breathing shortens and intensifies, adrenaline is pumping. Amazing
V realizes the fact that, no matter what happens, he is going to die from the relic sooner or later. There’s no risk at all in raiding Arasaka solo, since the only possible consequence of such a raid is already an inevitability. V has absolutely, positively nothing to lose.
if you have done everything the game has to offer before getting to this point, you have effectively become the most dangerous solo within NC. V has nothing to lose at this point and he won't drag those around him on a chance that he might live. It makes sense.
Option A: "Put the life of your loved ones at risk" Option B: "Trust Hanko Arasaka" Johnny S.: "You know I once killed three men at a bar with a pencil"
The final moments of this game are incredibly touching, the scene here where he's flying towards the Crystal Palace, and the scene where he's flying on the salt flats with Panam are both so well done
Still the best ending so far V singlehandedly destroy arasaka and become the legend of night city the new ending is kinda suck tbh i rather go down for all times in a blaze of glory.
@@froilanflorentino1252i sent songbird away, angrily, betrayed but still committed to my goal to giving this girl a chance at life, and immediately after decided this was the ending I wanted. You’re correct, the emptiness and contempt for absolutely everybody I had at that point, I just resolved to end everyone involved with that whole shitty job that killed Jackie and put a timer on V’s life. The corpo fucks and everything they built must burn for the pain they caused V and Jackie and Johnny, and if the platoons of federal agents V mowed down in Phantom Liberty couldnt stop him, this wouldnt
@@eduardobrigas4177 It is at 1st but not as bad when we think about the other lore. Bioware ( nanotech) does exist and even though its not exactly as powerful as cyberware, its still superhuman status feats. And kerry said he could help money wise but just on tour at the moment and cant physically be there. So he can help finance bioware procedures and a trainers to get your body back into shape since 2 years in coma is why we are that weak. The new ending isnt that bad
Would have loved to get 2 expansions 1 that fleshes out the life path opening. And one that tackles the endgame choices! Just gonna have to see what they do in the sequel game.
Was thinking the same thing. The expansion is cool but a full life path DLC woulda been really cool. Would’ve been cool to see a DLC that starts with toy waking up in mikoshi and planning this whole thing and going through with it.
@@Josephhhhh2077he’s saying if the game came out completed like it is now, they’d have more room to work on it rather than just one dlc and one expansion
This ending is so good, seeing v float towards the casino with so much dedication and doubt and want, because i feel like he wanted to be with panam but he put that aside, was fucking fantastic.
They should've kept 70% instead of Specific dialogues. It makes more sense for Johnny to trust you with a suicide rush and asking you to go down guns blazing with him while ur friendship with him is high. So you can be a total jerk to him the whole game but choose those specific dialogues at the grave and suddenly he would choose to die with you guns blazing? Man I wanted to play this ending so badly.
If you're on PC you can use console commands to activate the requirements needed to get Johnny to offer this ending during the sitdown on the rooftop. Did it last night when i realized I failed to make the right dialogue choices back in Chippin' In and it worked like a charm.
@@MR.LMR1996 I did this 5 minutes ago, since I'm replaying it on PC, does this disable achievements? Because I plan to let Johnny tale control at the end.
@@tendo7801 I'd say for safety u should use the console command before you go meet with Hanako - the 2nd to last mission before you hit the point of no return in 2077's main story.
What i love about this ending is that badassnes doesn't come from a moment or characters, no it comes only from you. You alone going against impossible odds against the world that treated you like shit and emerging victorious, that is the coolest thing you alone can do in entire game.
I ended up giving my body to johnny and damn, shit actually made me cry, first time in fuckin years that a game of all things, had me cryin. props to cd projekt red, hell of a fuckin game they got here
Most people say the star ending is the best. However to me this is actually the best ending, you don't drag any of your friend down with you, your relationship with panam still hasn't broken yet. You are the only living legend in night city. And in the end, you got to participate in a mission that if you pull off, the chance of you surviving is much better than meeting panam's friend. Wish i chose the correct dialogue with johnny to unlock this ending
Honestly i wish i became the living legend of night city, instead i decided johnny should take the wheels, it was bittersweet but in the end im satisfied
My head canon is that since johnny can see everything V does and control his body, while V is actively in control, johnny will influence his actions to things V see's but doesnt fully process. So with groups of enemies, V has his mind focused on 1 person, while Johnny is focused on everything else and will take control to handle the other threat. So they literally fighting as one.
The only thing I got against this ending is it culminates to V just chilling in a mansion. After screwing over NUSA, Arasaka, Barghest and Netwatch? I was hoping V would be more of a John Connor-figure resistance leader against the corps and the feds, somewhere in the desert in a secret underground safehouse planning things out with this comrades.
No it doesn't, he's up there because he has all the eddies and resources he could want, but the whole time he was planning a heist on the Crystal Palace. You can play V however you want, but his defining trait is his fight for survival, Mr. Blue Eyes himself said as much: "You know why I hired you? Because you'd do anything at all even for the faintest chance of survival."
@@Aristocrat1cs Sure, because V would totally not have been neck deep in FIA assassins, Arasaka cyberninjas, Netwatch netrunners and Barghest hitsquads at this point, and yet he just chilling right out in the open. If it was me I would have taken my network to the underground and do my work a little bit on the down low. I would have been surrounded by all the folks I helped as well as my friends, doing jobs and still being able to plan the heist. Definitely a better ending than pretending nobody is going to try to kill me while I just do this one job.
@@Josephhhhh2077 If this ending actually considers the course of the main game and the DLC, V would be dodging snipers under that nice couch right about now, or steering from rockets on his ride to the Afterlife, where Arasaka ninjas would be waiting, and Netwatch agents on security camera, with Barghest placing bombs on V's car. V fucked with the corps, no way they would let him just get off scot-free like this, especially when everyone in the city knows where V lives and work. Not to mention all the indie Solos or crews would love to get a piece of V.
my only problem with all these endings is that V is an engram..... sooo its not even really V its just a copy of V that is living in his body. The real V died when he plugged into Micoshi
@@GAMEXdoker yeah I guess he did technically “die” but I guess as long as the brain is partially still there he may still be considered himself. Whereas putting an engram of himself in his head means he is truly just code now
This is canon ending imo. Like wouldn’t it make sense? V is dying anyway so why’s not go all out before you go? Ain’t no way he gonna let history erased his name. Plus, It’s all start here. He accept that damn deal from Dexter which is the beginning of everything. Beginning of his journey to the end, Beginning of losing one close to him like T-bug and Jackie and where Johnny has made big legend so it would suit more for them to ended what have they done. Plus, With this ending, We finally can avenge for David and Rebecca lol.
My favorite bit about this ending is that it cements V as a true living Legend, course' he won't be alive for too long but he achieved his promise to Jackie about getting into the big leagues. Not only did he become a legend, he became THE LEGEND that took down Arasaka tower, singlehandedly along with Adam Smasher against a small army of Arasaka soldiers that ganked him with Adam Smasher. Then somehow jacked into Mikoshi, didn't get killed by anyone from the outside while he was in cyber space, left the cooling area of Mikoshi and walked out of the same front door without any issues whatsoever outside of his usual concepts. The man told the reaper he did not fear death, only fearful that his friends would die in the suicide run for Mikosh, then proceeded to not only cheat death but also walk out of the front door unscathed outside of a few minor scrapes or bruises. It took David Martinez is a fucking MECH SUIT to do even anything REMOTELY similar and lost to Adam Smasher despite having very advanced anti-grav tech. Our V did it with hardly anything that advanced.
If there’s ever a sequel I hope this is the canon ending. In my opinion it would be coolest lore wise to have Johnny’s engram on the relic slowly take over V’s consciousness to the point where he not only convinces him but they both use V’s body to single handedly storm the tower
I remember the first time i played this mission on ps4, i was so fucking desperate against Adam because i was out of ammo and the only weapon i had was Johhny's pistol, so i basically killed him with punches LOL
This is my first and original ending (first play). That was for the natural choices I make. Then I looked for the others and finally realized that there are second and third best, but I chose the best ending.
To me that was the best ending for me but with Rogue and i let Johnny take control so he could get revenge on Adam Smasher and i let Songbird die and not let Reed and the FIA to not have her... Reed is a puppet and FIA is well the FIA...I cant let Songbird go to the moon neither because Mr Bleu Eyes will have her which IS NOT GOOD if you know who/what Mr Bleu Eyes really is... so the best option is to complete the mission by sticking with Reed. Fight Hansen(bad ass bossfight) Fight the Maxtac(bad ass bossfigh) Run from the Blackwall Robot(metal Gear vibe) and free Songbird by letting her die.
i like to think v actually died in the coolant and now that alt is in control of mikoshi she played this scenario for v to live out and become a legend on her relic.
I love this ending for a bunch of reasons. Not only does it shoot V into legendary status in NC, but it feels just right if you do Street Kid V. By choosing to tackle it with Johnny, you not only spare the people you care about, but you follow in Jackie’s footsteps by choosing to find the courage to bet on yourself.
All I did wrong is a single sentence in the middle of the game, and I have to replay the entire game to get this ending. Absolutely hilarious design. I can't think of any worse, ever, and I have played hundreds of games...
Does this mean your new output is Rouge?! I fucking love it! ❤🔥🤟Preem. But for reals, if you do this ending, which I am w/ my darn CORPO Male V and I'm not exactly ... into chicks lol I know the whole V is kinda like Johnny or whatever now or something but Johnny seemed so pissed off and so did V at the end they were NOT in a place that made me feel for them like I do with Fem V & Johnny & Rouge and the whole storyline about the Afterlife endings. You don't have your man or your woman at the end so its so cold and BLAH... anyways AWESOME fights though so we'll see! I best have KERRY! Lol I always go for the Nomad leaving Night City with Judy & The Aldecaldos. First playthrough was STREETKID Fem V & I ended up with the Caldo ending and then I gave Johnny my body at the end. Seemed the only logical thing to do, your still gonna end up dying if you dont sooooo YEAH I got the for the first time tonight, I BETTER STILL HAVE MY KERRI-BEAR 🖤🖤🖤🖤
49:58 You know, for a second I thought you'd change your mind about it all... Interesting, would Johnny still be dragging you away from the bridge to let you live your life if you go further there? I mean, after choosing the "I want to live" option? So you can get the double portion of drama 😅
As good as this ending looks from a "legendary merc fantasy" point of view it is not a good ending, the only way to survive and run away from Night City is to get rid of chrome and become normal human being. Also, you could combo Don't fear the Reaper ending with Phantom Liberty without a problem cdpr just blocked us from having the true good ending.
I agree. In my head cannon, I see V seeing the dangerous lengths Songbird went to survive as a cautionary tale and to go their own route solo to fight for surviving without sacrificing friends
Ridif000lous is correct, Hugeboss is wrong. Those Chippin in choices are the only things that matter. If you fuck up everything else you can still get Don't Fear the Reaper.
Ok someone help I can’t proceed with my play through after I did don’t fear the reaper ending I watched the credits and it not letting me continue it just putting me back at the end of the path of glory Aka the end of don’t fear the reaper ending
I think it boils down to if you and Johnny made a promise to each other. You have to call him out but still give him one more shot to help you survive. I recommend a video for the specific choices
I'm so sorry. You need to go back to the quest Chippin In with these dialogue options at the end when you're at Johnny's grave - it has nothing to do with relationship with Johnny: "Nah, fucked that up too." "What do you want from me?" "Ok. But as second chances go, this is your last." this just happened to me on my replay build so I went through the game again with a melee Sandevistan/Berserk build, but honestly ending this in melee was worth it since it make Dont Fear the Reaper feel impossibly cool
you can use a save editor and unlock the secret ending, I didn't find out it was specific dialog options until it was too late with 80h already into my run.
In the Chippin side quest there are specific options you need to choose 1. Guy who saved my life 2. Nah fucked that up too 3. What do you want from me 4. Ok but for a second chances it’s your last You should not be too hard or too friendly to Johnny and these are the options to stay neutral. Check some websites it had mentioned clearly.
You know, I have to say I think this ending, in addition to being not what I thought it was. I feel like I've already seen the ending before in a similar story play thru without going at arisaka alone. I think with everything considered, I prefer Panams ending. Also, how you gunna have it be called don't fear the reaper and not have at least a cover of the song in the ending? I'm actually a little disappointed. Like I said I think I experienced this ending already once before and to go through so much s*** just to get to this ending is..kind of a let down.

Nice moves, man! Pleasure to watch.🤩
In the words of Patrick Swayze from Red Dawn, “We’re all gonna die. Die standing up”.
Local man too angry to die 😡🔫
This is my first and original ending (first play). That was for the natural choices I make. Then I looked for the others and finally realized that there are second and third best, but I chose the best ending.
This ending works so well with the street kid life path
To me that was the best ending for me but with Rogue and i let Johnny take control so he could get revenge on Adam Smasher and i let Songbird die and not let Reed and the FIA to not have her... Reed is a puppet and FIA is well the FIA...I cant let Songbird go to the moon neither because Mr Bleu Eyes will have her which IS NOT GOOD if you know who/what Mr Bleu Eyes really is... so the best option is to complete the mission by sticking with Reed. Fight Hansen(bad ass bossfight) Fight the Maxtac(bad ass bossfigh) Run from the Blackwall Robot(metal Gear vibe) and free Songbird by letting her die.
i betrayed reed and then immediatly betrayed songbird when she said there was only one cure 😭
The only ending for me, to punish those who make everyone suffer
Time to party like its 2023.
i like to think v actually died in the coolant and now that alt is in control of mikoshi she played this scenario for v to live out and become a legend on her relic.
Sheeeet.... I've been playing this game wrong all this time. This looks so much more fun than my playthrough.
this game is a work of art
Grab your iron - LET'S MOBILIZE! (goosebumps every time... whole map cleared, maxed lvl, build is GODlike - rip arasaka)
Sub 4 More
I love this ending for a bunch of reasons. Not only does it shoot V into legendary status in NC, but it feels just right if you do Street Kid V. By choosing to tackle it with Johnny, you not only spare the people you care about, but you follow in Jackie’s footsteps by choosing to find the courage to bet on yourself.
18:45 let's fucking gooooo!!
V was always a badass before becoming a Merc as a street kid and nomad street kid gutted a mugger at 13 nomad v shot a raffin in the eye at 16
Other ending: sad music play at the begining
This: a build up
Wish the endings could have been combined. Would have done this ending, establishing the legend of V only to leave with the Nomads
How does Yorinobu Arasaka keep Adam Smasher on a leash like a good dog he is?
He’s the boss. Infinite power and influence to buy, control and rule anyone’s life for the right price.
I've done all Johnny's quests (culminating in the concert) and have an 85% relationship... He ain't saying shit to me lol
Probably picked the wrong dialogue choice when visiting Johnny's grave
You need to say “you used me” so like use the passive aggressive options
we all think it's johnny silverhand but its just john wick in disguise
Best ending in the game and possibly cannon
26:48 I love how in this path its the only one where the enemies are actually terrified of you and for good reason. 😂
doing this shit with 250 health and Jhonny's gun and rebecca's shotgun with the arasaka smg is a nightmare
Just finished this on very hard and holy fuck it’s something else after the update
i did this ending in early 2021 in ps4 and it was pretty easy, but is it harder now?
@@voodoo2006 bro, what? The games had so many updates since then LOL have you not followed cyberpunk?
All I did wrong is a single sentence in the middle of the game, and I have to replay the entire game to get this ending. Absolutely hilarious design. I can't think of any worse, ever, and I have played hundreds of games...
I think instead of don't fear the reaper... This should be called Blaze of Glory ending
Cyberpunk 2077, only sadness
I messed up I don't have that slow motion thing
Peaceful life or a blaze o' glory?
Anybody else stubbornly stuck on this quest while underleveled
Does this mean your new output is Rouge?! I fucking love it! ❤🔥🤟Preem. But for reals, if you do this ending, which I am w/ my darn CORPO Male V and I'm not exactly ... into chicks lol I know the whole V is kinda like Johnny or whatever now or something but Johnny seemed so pissed off and so did V at the end they were NOT in a place that made me feel for them like I do with Fem V & Johnny & Rouge and the whole storyline about the Afterlife endings. You don't have your man or your woman at the end so its so cold and BLAH... anyways AWESOME fights though so we'll see! I best have KERRY! Lol I always go for the Nomad leaving Night City with Judy & The Aldecaldos. First playthrough was STREETKID Fem V & I ended up with the Caldo ending and then I gave Johnny my body at the end. Seemed the only logical thing to do, your still gonna end up dying if you dont sooooo YEAH I got the for the first time tonight, I BETTER STILL HAVE MY KERRI-BEAR 🖤🖤🖤🖤
Ending only viable in the StreetKid ending. Seems poetic.
Time to party like it's 2023😂
I did this on Very Hard with the Gold Plated Bat, Berserk, and Grenades.
freakin legend!
15:50
48:41 can anyone remind me when V promised this?
is this with path tracing on?
how you can get this ending?
49:58
You know, for a second I thought you'd change your mind about it all...
Interesting, would Johnny still be dragging you away from the bridge to let you live your life if you go further there? I mean, after choosing the "I want to live" option? So you can get the double portion of drama 😅
This shit hit harder w male V. Female v only good for rizzing Judy
THANK YOU!!!!! The female v is only there to get females to buy the game
@@willbaggiins9441 ong
Female V is a better voice actress tbh, especially with the corpo lifepath
Exactly
fuck no, lol. i played as both, and the voice actress is like 10 times better than the dude.
why is does the malorian have different recoil when ads?
Bro why doesn't your Adam Smasher teleport every second?
As good as this ending looks from a "legendary merc fantasy" point of view it is not a good ending, the only way to survive and run away from Night City is to get rid of chrome and become normal human being. Also, you could combo Don't fear the Reaper ending with Phantom Liberty without a problem cdpr just blocked us from having the true good ending.
Nah choom. Grab your iron let’s mobilize
This is still the best ending, fuck Phantom Liberty 🔥
I agree. In my head cannon, I see V seeing the dangerous lengths Songbird went to survive as a cautionary tale and to go their own route solo to fight for surviving without sacrificing friends
*his
Vincent > valerie
I got 75 percent relationship with Johnny and still didn't get this ending option?
When Misty leaves and you need to make a choise wait 5 minutes, then Johnny will offer up to go out guns blazing against Arasaka.
@@luzifer9976 thanks but they changed it for phantom liberty, I did the suicide option and Johnny offered it right away.
How do you get the "dont fear the reaper" ending ?
Gotta have 70 percent with Johnny and wait for a few mins and Johnny proposes a plan.
@@Hugeboss01 A little more complicated than that. Really it boils down to a specific set of dialogue during the quest "Chippin' In"
@@Ridif00lous
Also the other choices in game before. I already did chippin in and I got Johnny to 85 percent.
Ridif000lous is correct, Hugeboss is wrong. Those Chippin in choices are the only things that matter. If you fuck up everything else you can still get Don't Fear the Reaper.
@@Paragon231 Thanks choom, didn't have the courage to argue
What graphic settings are you using?
likely everything on max with RT on Psycho, Path Tracing. 4090 eats Red Dead Redemption 2s for breakfast
@@finesseandstyle 4090 eats everything out, literally everybgame
00:25:15 just absolutely *hosing* them
Ok someone help I can’t proceed with my play through after I did don’t fear the reaper ending I watched the credits and it not letting me continue it just putting me back at the end of the path of glory Aka the end of don’t fear the reaper ending
I still haven’t met blue eyes
This is how im going out
I have 85% with Johnny why can't I unlock this ending?
I think it boils down to if you and Johnny made a promise to each other. You have to call him out but still give him one more shot to help you survive. I recommend a video for the specific choices
tombstone scene.
I'm so sorry. You need to go back to the quest Chippin In with these dialogue options at the end when you're at Johnny's grave - it has nothing to do with relationship with Johnny:
"Nah, fucked that up too."
"What do you want from me?"
"Ok. But as second chances go, this is your last."
this just happened to me on my replay build so I went through the game again with a melee Sandevistan/Berserk build, but honestly ending this in melee was worth it since it make Dont Fear the Reaper feel impossibly cool
you can use a save editor and unlock the secret ending, I didn't find out it was specific dialog options until it was too late with 80h already into my run.
In the Chippin side quest there are specific options you need to choose
1. Guy who saved my life
2. Nah fucked that up too
3. What do you want from me
4. Ok but for a second chances it’s your last
You should not be too hard or too friendly to Johnny and these are the options to stay neutral. Check some websites it had mentioned clearly.
Nothin will ever beat riding off with Panam under the desert stars free as a fuckin bird...
Hard pass, panam is 🤮 but ydy sis.
@@TheSeventhOutlaw lol.. wow, you really had to just waste your energy to type that to a random stranger. We all have opinions, good for you.
ngl i tried the same dialogue i ended up killing myself💀
You know, I have to say I think this ending, in addition to being not what I thought it was. I feel like I've already seen the ending before in a similar story play thru without going at arisaka alone. I think with everything considered, I prefer Panams ending.
Also, how you gunna have it be called don't fear the reaper and not have at least a cover of the song in the ending? I'm actually a little disappointed. Like I said I think I experienced this ending already once before and to go through so much s*** just to get to this ending is..kind of a let down.
This video needs more cowbell.
Still the best ending.
19:50
Who tf liked my shit
