In the universe of Cyberpunk 2077, players constantly find themselves on the edge, making choices that define V’s destiny. Like most role-playing games, the game offers multiple endings that provide diverse outcomes. However, a particular ending has kept gamers buzzing – the secret ending. This conclusion is not only rare but arguably provides the most favorable outcome.
The secret ending has V tackling the final mission solo alongside Johnny, ensuring the highest number of survivors. It’s worth noting that while there’s constant debate around the “optimal” ending in any RPG, having the maximum number of characters survive generally leans towards being the best.
I finally finished the secret ending mission after 3 hours of trying and it has to be one of the most fun and challenging levels I’ve ever been in.

That said, this ending is no walk in the park. Venturing alone, without any support, raises the stakes incredibly high. Any misstep and the player faces an abrupt conclusion with credits rolling, devoid of any retries.
However, those with patience, determination, and the right information can unlock this ending. Transitioning to our detailed guide, here’s how to navigate your choices and actions to witness the secret ending.
How to Get to the Secret Ending in Cyberpunk 2077
Dive into the side mission titled “Chippin’ In” at the Afterlife nightclub, a mission available post certain main story task. Ensuring progress, complete all mission objectives until the intimate conversation with Johnny ensues.
During this dialogue:
- Choose “Inscribe Johnny’s initials”.
- Respond to Johnny’s question about his real grave with “The Guy Who Saved My Life”.
- When faced with the next option, go with “Na, f*cked that up too.”
- As Johnny ponders on second chances, question “what do you want from me?”
- Go with the option, as last chances go, this is your last.
- Address Johnny’s initial attitude with “You were a real d*ck in the beginning.”
- Proceed by selecting “When you said you let down your friends.”
- Discuss Smasher’s impact with “Smasher biz really got to her.”
- Conclude with “I’ll call Rogue.”
After these steps, accomplish the “Blistering Love” and “Tapeworm” missions. Pre-final mission, during the pivotal conversation with Johnny about the final approach, simply resist making any immediate decision. Instead, remain patient for roughly five minutes. Eventually, Johnny proposes an alternate plan, the “suicide run”, initiating the secret mission “Don’t fear the reaper”.
To reach the secret ending, it is absolutely necessary to have a friendship level of 70% with Johnny. To achieve that, the players must do a bunch of side jobs along with the ones mentioned, which are:
- Automatic Love
- Transmission
- Life during Wartime
- Search and Destroy
- Holdin’ on
- A like Supreme
While this method might sound straightforward, in-game, amid countless dialogues and choices, it can be easy to get sidetracked. For those visual learners, online platforms like YouTube host visual guides to aid in this quest.
In conclusion, while Cyberpunk 2077 offers multiple narrative conclusions, the secret ending stands out not just for its uniqueness but also its challenge. Those aiming for the best possible outcome should gear up, prepare for an intense battle, and adhere to this guide.
