Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty All Main Quests Walkthrough

To complete all main quests in Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty expansion, players must follow a specific sequence of jobs, making crucial decisions that branch the storyline and lead to different endings. The main questline begins with “Dog Eat Dog” and progresses through a series of missions, culminating in one of several possible conclusions, including the potential to unlock a new ending for V’s original story.

Starting Phantom Liberty

To begin the Phantom Liberty expansion, you need to have Cyberpunk 2077 installed. If you have both the base game and the expansion, you can either load a previous save with an existing character or start a standalone version. If you’re using a save from before the 2.0 Update, your Perks will be reset, allowing you to reallocate your points given the significant changes to skill trees. The expansion itself becomes accessible after completing the “Transmission” quest in the base game. Regardless of your choices during “Transmission” concerning Maman Brigitte and the Voodoo Boys, Songbird will contact you, initiating the first Dogtown quest, “Dog Eat Dog.”

Phantom Liberty Main Quest List

The Phantom Liberty main story consists of a series of interconnected jobs. The initial quests lay the groundwork for the espionage thriller, introducing key characters and the dangerous district of Dogtown. Later quests will diverge based on critical decisions made by the player.

Here is a list of the main jobs in Phantom Liberty:

After “Firestarter,” the subsequent quests depend entirely on a pivotal choice made during that mission regarding whose side you align with. This decision directly impacts the remaining quest progression and ultimately determines which of the Phantom Liberty endings you will experience.

If you choose to help Songbird escape in “Firestarter,” your quest path will follow this sequence:

Alternatively, if you decide to help Reed capture Songbird in “Firestarter,” the questline will proceed as follows:

Following “Four Score and Seven,” if Songbird lives, the quest “Who Wants to Live Forever” becomes available, potentially leading to “Things Done Changed.”

Critical Choices and Endings

The Phantom Liberty expansion features multiple endings, which are determined by key dialogue and combat choices made throughout the main story, particularly during “Firestarter,” “The Killing Moon,” and “Somewhat Damaged.” These choices can significantly alter the narrative and V’s ultimate fate.

The four confirmed endings for Phantom Liberty are:

It’s important to note that the “King of Swords” ending, which involves surrendering Songbird to Reed in “The Killing Moon,” can lead to an additional secret ending for the entire Cyberpunk 2077 game, known as The Tower ending. This particular ending serves as the conclusion to V’s original story, offering a potential cure. The point of no return for unlocking The Tower ending is right before the mission “Who Wants to Live Forever.”

Avoiding Locked Out Content

There are two primary ways to inadvertently lock yourself out of the Phantom Liberty main story content. Understanding these points is crucial to experiencing the full expansion.

1. Failing “Hole in the Sky”: Early in the expansion, during the “Hole in the Sky” mission, you are tasked with rescuing President Rosalind Myers. If you delay or fail to follow the objective promptly, you will fail the mission. Instead of a typical game over, Songbird will express anger and state that she never wants to see you again. Johnny Silverhand will comment on your failure, and you will be free to explore Dogtown, complete gigs, or return to the main Cyberpunk 2077 story, but the Phantom Liberty main storyline will be inaccessible.

2. Declining the Mission in “Lucretia My Reflection”: In the fourth main mission, “Lucretia My Reflection,” you will meet Solomon Reed. During a discussion with Myers about rescuing Songbird, you can make specific dialogue choices to decline the mission. When Reed asks if the mission is worth the promises made by Myers and Songbird, selecting the option “You’re right, I’m out” and confirming with “Made my decision” will also lock you out of the Phantom Liberty main story. Similar to the previous scenario, you can still engage in Dogtown activities or return to Night City, but the expansion’s narrative will not continue.

To ensure you experience the complete Phantom Liberty main questline, it is essential to actively pursue objectives in “Hole in the Sky” and accept the mission during the dialogue in “Lucretia My Reflection.”
