Cyberpunk 2077: Guide to 100% Johnny Relationship and becoming a Legend of Night City

This guide/walkthrough showing dialogue options missions and endings required to get Johnny Silverhand relationship to 100%, becoming a legend of night city and the symptoms meter. This video will also cover unlocking the secret ending and what dialogue options or choices actually impact the meters. (They obviously will likely still impact the story and dialogue later but the meters still progress). I specifically chose the more aggressive options to showcase that the meters still progress.
Throughout this video I also show what endings are unlocked in this process:
Hanako/Arasaka Ending
Secret Don't Fear the Reaper Ending
(I test what dialogue options matter)
Rogue Ending
(Bonus - V beats up Johnny)
The only missing one is the Aldecaldo ending because it was not related to the meters.
Although a lot of the tapeworm decisions don't impact the meters, they likely impact the dialogue in the various endings.
This took forever to test and put together so hope it helps!

@@zachjollimore4339 but it is dying. Born human, experience human life and death. An engram might me the closest thing of a digisoul, but it is an artificial construct, it just behaves itself and experiences itself like a soul. An engram would be sure it is the same soul experiencing reality, but it is a chip. V died in Mikoshi. But had a V engram to keep the body running and behaving as V would. V never survives mikoshi. A fried brain running on cyberware and engrams is not the same as an organic brain experiencing itself. Alt and johnny both know it very well and only reveal that V would be soulkilled after it had happened.

*THERE’S A COUPLE SPOILERS AT THE BOTTOM REGARDING PLOT POINTS AND CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FOR THE “DEVIL” ENDING(took Hanako Arasaka’s offer)* Did you do the Arasaka ending? I don’t want to spoil the impact of what happens, just in case you haven’t-but it’s probably technically “Bad”, and there’s something that Johnny says to V inside his mind while they’re getting the Biochip removed. Obviously Johnny’s not to happy about V selling out to Arasaka, V having thrown away his principles, and essentially selling his soul just own of pure desperation. But he starts saying some things that make you go “hmmm….🤔” Eventually, V comes to realize that what Johnny warned him would happen and how much a deal with Arasaka could cost V- was absolutely true. After removing the biochip I think you could view V’s attitudes towards the whole situation he finds himself, as well as possibly regretting the choices he made that brought him to that point.

[@InTheMindOfDavid]

I’m really hoping that one of the expansions is a Johnny Silverhand expansion that either covers what Johnny was doing during those 10years between Alt’s “Death” and the Arasaka Tower Bombing from. However it would be those events(and in between years) as they actually happened with no grandiosity or Johnny’s biased and subjective memories of what happened like we see in the base game.

Thanks for making this, it's something I overlooked during my play-through so it was nice to be able to see all the options play out here. @51:30 I swear they screwed up some of the dialogue triggers between the different endings. V's statements of 'don't forget me' and in one of the endings attacking Johnny for trying to go to cyberspace (@1:09:40) make *SO* much more sense if it had been used when Johnny takes the body, because it ties in with him saying 'I never forgot, never will' on the bus. This game has one of the best stories, soundtracks, some of the best characters, and great voice acting it's just a shame it was rushed out and overhyped. I wish it had been less buggy and less deceitful in marketing so more people could have enjoyed it for what it is.

@@RN1441 Same boat, only watched that single trailer they did back in early 2019 with V riding the tram into the city. Went in blind and was genuinely blown away with the story, soundtrack, characters, voice acting, and animations. I still find myself mesmerized by how great a job they did with characters like Judy. The missions (ESPECIALLY Pyramid Song), the use of her soundtrack and its motiff appearing throughout, the lyrics of the mission's namesake applying to the mission itself in Pyramid Song, the tattoos on Judy reflecting her actual past and having incredible nuance, her endings and how potent they all are. Genuinely incredible. Knowing that the devs and writers visualized a game like that throughout the whole thing makes me wish I could live in a reality where this game wasn't released until 2030 and the game realized its full potential. This game has aspects that are so artistically excellent that nothing in the medium of video games has even come close to matching before, then there are aspects that are genuinely horrible given the budget and expectations set by CDPR marketing. Its a mixed bag but god damn did they deliver on some of my biggest wants in video games: excellent soundtrack, believable and nuanced characters, well written story with immersive themes and plots, well thought out world building and subtext throughout.

@@MAJ0ROCEL0T i totally agree with you also in the same boat, I was never hyped about the game, finish my 1st playthrough a few days ago... and damn son, i love it. So many people forget it a story driven game is about the word, small details, immersion and ofc the story itself, it's more like an interactive movie than a game. It's art and this game is a masterpiece even with the flaws. Imo (as an mmo player) if someone is looking for infinite content and complex game mechanics than let's go and play mmo rpgs, but in a singleplayer story driven game don't expect to have 500+ different and unique quests and infinite gametime.

[@Ifyoucanreadthisgooglebroke]

This was changed quite a bit in 2.0. The general advice appears to hold, but specific values are no longer consistent with old rules. For one example, the dialogue to unlock don't fear the reaper can now produce as little as 5% increase in relationship with Johnny. There are a couple new sources of Johnny relationship that happen in the PL story too. It is generally much easier to get higher relationship values, but it appears that the higher you are the less it matters to choose the right things during the chippin' in conversation. (at least in terms of the impact on Johnny relationship value) What I have not tested yet personally is if you still even need to make the same old perfect choices during chippin' in. If you are set with 80% without it for example, might you have unlocked don't fear the reaper anyway? Once upon a time those choices meant at least 30% Johnny rep if you took the ones that came to be associated with don't fear the reaper. It would be very easy for the old rule about "you have to make these choices" to have actually been the result of how you can only hit 70% Johnny rep if you make those choices, and the unlock of don't fear the reaper could actually just be about the %.

Just to help those watching this after 2.0 and Phantom Liberty.. at @17:17 the new percentages are: 90% / 40%/ 48%. I do not know how this will adffect the rest of the guide, but I wanted to share my experience.

[@jojoh_maliketh]

Why? I'm literally confused why they did it lol

[@pinnacleevolution1634]

Eh, it really depends on the order you do things, I left the Evelyn quest for the end and thus didn't unlock phantom liberty until much later into the game and my relationship with Johnny was at like 80 per cent already. And it's at 85 before even setting foot on embers.

[@Bluesonofman]

The music for the mission the leads to the Kidnaping of Hanako just has Ghost in the Shell vibes.

[@barmetler]

It's been a looong time since I last heard the male V voice... I don't know if you do to, but sometimes I have nostalgia for earlier playthroughs of a game. Like I long for the alternate universe where I am a different character. But also, I kind of lose the immersion after playing so many times, and I get nostalgia for the feeling of experiencing everything for the first time too.

I wish after the story alt contacts V and says that her being in mikoshi she found that arasaka kept Johnny's body and she can relic shard him to resurrect him after breaking into an arasaka base like in space they've talked about se we can safely save johnny and even V

[@alucard1871]

thanks for this mate

[@spiderfan1974]

Those are the dialogue options in the endings I got the same endings and was nowhere near 90% on a few of them.

You can tell with 100% temp, johnny really didn't wanted it to come to an end

[@el00morro00]

This is a very extensive and complete guide so thank you for putting it all toguether. Sure the game has quite some bugs, like most big hitter RPgs (Skyrim on release and pretty much most "bugthesda" games are like that.) But man the story freaking rocks! In my subjective point of view at least.

[@janetauster4121]

Johnny's no all-out there or out of it in a bad sense. He does things from his heart he's reallstartng to connect to and like other people

[@RobAaronCrow]

considering that Mr Blue Eyes could very well be Waaaay Above arasaka when it come to Power , i would say that V still has a chance to Survive at least 20 or 30 More years, also the Wiki Mentions: "V tasked Viktor Vektor to find information about him or his people, but the ripperdoc answered what he had already told V. That no one knew anything about him, and this could mean he was from some place high enough that nobody could even fathom to get some intel, and that he is too much of a shady figure, given that Night City doesn't abide the nameless." also "During the meeting, V made it clear that they had nothing else to lose, as this was a very dangerous operation which no one had ever done before, but expected Mr. B would hold his side of the bargain, whom assured the merc that he understood they were fighting for a CHANCE FOR SURVIVAL and would help them if they succeeded with the job" makes it feel like Mr Blue eyes may be able to find someone who can Keep V Alive ... if V end up being succesfulm in the crystal Palace ofc

[@Yusuf12009]

I genuinely hope they have an expansion and that ending is canon so we get to see what v does nd if he survives

[@Scarlet_moon.]

Mr Blue Eyes also has tech and knowledge on how to restructure human neural network,so its highly possible for him to restructure V's neurons in a way that allows his brain to once again accept V as its owner.

[@neildunham2328]

this helped very much, i kept getting 90%

[@shine02315]

Btw you can get the center icon to 90% in the Sun ending with Rogue. You have to make sure its 70% before the ending. This difference is interesting though.

[@wormfood83]

Difference between 70 and 90%?

[@shine02315]

@@wormfood83 I don't specifically remember the description for 90% but there are a lot of differences in dialogue, with Kerry, after the concert, and in Mikoshi. The final scene in Mikoshi especially, can be very different, this is probably the best/saddest? - kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnjHXoVmi6dpmJo

[@dragorago363]

Good Guide.. well atm I'm wondering how your relationship (level) also effects the dialogues with Johnny.. generally and/or at the end. My first ending was the Panam ending with 70% friendships and I've also watched some video where someone had the same ending but with 60% and he had some other dialogues at his ending when he was entering Mikoshi/touched Johnny's shoulder.. Mine was alot friendlier.. but I'm not sure if its just the % or if it depends on the answers you give at the oilfield?!

[@OneDragon]

It's likely answers provided at the oilfields combined with other dialogue choices in the tapeworm quest but the oilfield choice also impacts the meter so I decided to include it.

[@258DelTa]

I don't know why but at the oil fields i didn't take the same choices as you ( i.e. not antagonistic at all and basically forgiving him for the "chippin' in incident" let's say ) and i still got access to the secret ending.

[@nephram1702]

I got edge runner, 60, 40. I must of missed that part in the oil fields.

[@SaintSchadenfreude]

Really hope we get an after Epilogue DLC for the Johnny ending where he takes over your body and if you're good enough friends I want to see something like him going out of his way to find a way to bring V back from the dead or at least from the black wall and encode his engram into a body or something... And I want to see an alternative beginning where Jackie lives to see V with the relic or maybe Jackie has the relic and we get to see how jarring it is when Johnny takes over his body but all you see is the Jackster himself... there's tons of possibilities with these characters and they're fleshed out really well to the point you can do alot with DLC I hope CDPR will acknowledge that and not abandon this property after the expansions and DLC are done I know there's talks of a sequel of sort and I'm very curious to see where this story goes

[@npcc41]

FYI, There is another quest which you can potentially gain another 10% in your relationship with Johnny. It's the quest called, Killing in the Name.

[@MaddawgTL]

In Phantom Liberty Johnny does not want to be wiped but he says he will be willing to be wiped in the Pistis Sophia. Another case of Johnny's main character syndrome coming to light.

[@starfield4961]

If you go with Aldecaldo and give body to Johnny, he'll say extra line about you at Columbarium.

[@shitslikebear]

There are so many walkthroughs that have blatantly false information on "chippin in", saying you have to be nice to him. I followed that one, only got up to 60% rep, and had to start over. I'm so glad I saw this. Thanks man. You're a hero.

In my play through after I did chippin in and got the hand the car and the outfit I actually dressed like Johnny completely and finished the game that way, kind of like saying that him and I are one and that we’re here to fuck shit up!

Where did you get that submachine gun at? That could help out with very hard side missions

Bravo, man! This is exactly the kinda content we need! The attention to detail is fantastic. Much obliged! 🖤🤗 PS: (During Tapeworm) As an aside, how the fuck can you just skip all that dialogue?! It’s a giant part of the story. 😟

[@chromosomesareoverrated6127]

The chippin in quest made me so uncomfortable because i was in a relationship with judy lmao

[@1ial20]

I did the reaper ending, grinded to max level to get it without cheese. Silverhand's gun in hand, i did it. Worth the 16+ hours of tedious grinding.

[@Alexwhatisit]

In my play through I always got along with Johnny, before playing the main missions I played most of the side content and built a bond with Johnny as he’d pop up everywhere. By the end I feel close to him so tend to hear him out when he’s got something to say. Doesn’t mean I’ve done everything he’s said, or agreed, but I understood where he was coming from being a CORPO and knew the enemies he hated and I hated them too. The suicide mission on arasaka always felt right. Johnnys the black dog guiding me.

[@vivergodamn]

Aquela missão até Arasaka foi sem sentido. Lembre-se Jhonny não te contou de quase nada e algumas coisas são inverdades e a teoria mais aceita é que mudaram as memórias dele. Quando eu me aprofundei mais nas histórias e principalmente na da Rouge, eu percebi que perdi muitos detalhes.

[@kirkh4205]

My favorite outcome so far, has been obtaining the secret suicide mission ending... and then having V sacrifice themself for Johnny. All friends are saved and later a notification says "new contact added: Rouge Amendiaries". The UI also said that a bunch of random info shards were added to inventory. I thought they must be important. When I first woke up, one of those shards was an encrypted data shard. I tried cracking it, but it didn't go to the hacking minigame. So that's why I came to KZbin trying to find more about these endings. I think this may just be all the shards that V had picked up, being re-added to Johnny-V's inventory. So I don't believe these notifications about new shards matter at all. Maybe an unintended behavior that they just didn't think was worth trying to prevent. I think the encrypted shard was the datapad from Saburo, I had climbed my way back up to the roof to get the iconic katana and didn't bother cracking the data pad cause I'd read it before.

man did they mess with too much with Johnny. His role in the game has changed so much since release. your answers now matter and have to say the right thing.

[@joshdennison4334]

Great breakdown, really helped clear some things up, especially the oil fields part! Has anyone tried to keep the countdown meter below a certain percentage? might change something?

[@garcia1177]

There is no way to prevent the countdown meter from progressing. It’s automatically progressed through the story to prove that the Biochip itself is an inevitable death sentence. Even more so as it stands now the only way V’s body can truly survive is if Johnny takes it over. Granted the most popular ending which is the Panam Ending leaves V at 80% which means he definitely doesn’t have much life to live. However the alternative ending like Don’t Fear the Reaper leaves V at 60% which is probably the lowest percentage he can walk away with but still like the description says at 60% it’s unknown what the outcome will be; days? weeks? months? years? all V knows is that his body is a ticking time bomb and he isn’t sure how long he can hold that together until death.

Combining this with the DLC you become the ultimate legend Beaten Adam Smasher and all And maybe another like Adam Smasher shows up you just became a dual legend

Are the 100% only visible after the endings? So if i go back to embers it will be back to what it was before?
