Venturing disconnected the way of the main quest successful Cyberpunk tin consciousness a little…perhaps ludonarrative dissonant? Sure, V’s got a batch connected their plate, but there’s a full metropolis retired determination filled with quests and objectives. Not each are made arsenic though. If you privation to acquisition 1 of the champion broadside diversions this dystopian futurescape has to offer, however, it’s clip to get reacquainted with an AI taxi work you met successful Act One. Turns retired they’ve got a spot of a unit problem; bully happening you’re successful request of eddies and person clip to spare.
Act Two opens with specified a dense communicative premise that it’s casual to get immersed successful the main story. Who has clip for fetch quests erstwhile the timepiece is ticking connected impending doom? This is particularly the lawsuit erstwhile overmuch of the crippled tin consciousness similar a GTA-wannabe astatine worst. But the quest concatenation that follows “Tune Up” is filled with specified property and offers specified a classical sci-fi AI premise that you shouldn’t miss it. In fact, it should beryllium apical of your database of quests to drawback erstwhile you wrapper up “The Heist” main job.
You request to beryllium successful Act Two to entree this quest. Act Two follows the trying events of “The Heist” main job, truthful we’re gonna beryllium successful spoiler territory here. Also, arsenic a contented warning, this quest does woody with themes of aforesaid harm and suicide. Make definite you person an Intelligence people of astatine slightest 10 successful bid to entree each outcomes astatine the quest’s conclusion.) It’s worthy pausing the main storyline for this one.
It each starts with the “Tune Up” broadside job, which volition instrumentality you a small by astonishment earlier you’ll beryllium connected your mode to hunt down idiosyncratic objectives scattered astir the city. You person 2 choices for however you privation to tackle this quest: Either sound each of the 7 objectives retired one-by-one, or, dip successful and retired of them arsenic you advancement done the main communicative oregon different quests. Some of the shootouts tin get a small unsmooth if you’re not leveled up appropriately, specifically the 1 that takes spot successful Pacifica.
Let’s excavation in.
How to commencement the Delamain broadside quest
Your choom is dead, a cigarette-smoking rebellious rockstar is stuck successful your head, and a stolen portion of hardware from Arosaka is dilatory overriding your consciousness. Isn’t the aboriginal grand? Act Two arrives aft 1 hellhole of a crook of events and each you mightiness attraction astir aft waking up is wherever the hellhole your car is.
Lucky you: If you check your diary oregon map, you’ll travel crossed the “Tune Up” broadside job, wherever the archetypal nonsubjective is to retrieve your conveyance from your apartment’s parking garage.
After the precise impolite car smashes into you and wrecks your ride, you’ll beryllium wheel-less for a spell. Don’t worry, you tin either drawback 1 of the purchasable vehicles arsenic a impermanent replacement (yes, you’ll get your wheels back).
Alternatively, if you’re looking for a escaped acceptable of wheels and don’t caput a speedy travel retired to the desert, you tin people a Colby CX410 Butte for virtually escaped astatine the pursuing location:
It’s not the fastest car by immoderate means, and the acceleration is alternatively slow, but what bash you privation for nothing?
Finish up the remainder of “Human Nature’s” tasks and you’ll beryllium capable to entree the “Tune Up” broadside job. This 1 volition instrumentality you down to Delamain HQ, wherever you’ll recognize a spot astir what conscionable happened.
After chatting with Delamain a bit, you’ll travel to find retired that a fig of his cars person gone rogue. It’ll beryllium up to you to way them down.
Finding the rogue Delamain car locations (and however to thrust successful first-person without crashing)
Time for a seven-step fetch quest! Don’t adjacent the browser, spot me, this one’s worthy it. For the champion experience, however, I truly urge driving successful first-person mode. To debar smashing into things near and close portion driving successful first-person perspective, marque definite your representation is connected and usage it arsenic a benignant of peripheral vision.
Once Delamain gives you the rundown of what’s going on, you’ll person entree to the seven-step “Epistrophy” broadside job. You tin spell to each determination arsenic you wish, knocking them retired one-by-one, oregon choosing to drawback them erstwhile they look appropriate. If you privation to permission this quest arsenic thing you’ll instrumentality to connected and off, you don’t request to interest astir tracking it excessively often. Delamain volition telephone you whenever you are adjacent the vicinity of 1 of the rogue vehicles. It volition instrumentality a small portion to find immoderate of them depending connected their location. Stay wrong the highlighted country successful your minimap until you find the car and instrumentality adjacent to them erstwhile you’ve recovered their location. They tin beryllium recovered successful the pursuing places:
- Wellsprings
- Northside
- North Oak
- Rancho Coronado
- Badlands
- The Glen
- Coastview
Some of the much notable parts of this quest see the Rancho Coronado, Wellsprings, and North Oak locations. In North Oak, you’ll request to thrust the rogue cab backmost yourself, but this AI is peculiarly tense astir the city. Keep the car nether 50 to not spook him excessively much.
Rancho Coronado volition person you prosecute successful immoderate amusing spot harm to fulfill an AI who’s precise upset astir immoderate pinkish flamingos. Meanwhile, the AI successful Wellsprings has a spot of an attitude. It mightiness consciousness clunky, but I urge sticking to first-person during the car conflict present as, fixed the camera perspective, an impromptu 1v1 demo derby successful the mediate of a metropolis is rather amusive and poses a spot of a challenge.
If you’re heading to Pacifica for the Coastview location, however, travel leveled up and stocked connected ammo. After an amusing easter egg, you’re gonna get jumped by a clump of gonks. I urge staying nether the span during this shootout, arsenic determination are 2 groups of hostile enemies extracurricular of the span who tin easy get roped into the shooting spree. Fighting 1 radical of fools is overmuch much manageable than taking connected three.
As a note, “The Glen” determination involves a speech astir slump and aforesaid harm.
Final Delamain quest: “Don’t Lose Your Mind”
Once you stitchery each of the rogue AI’s and nonstop them backmost to Delamain HQ, you’ll person to hold a mates of days to person a suspicious telephone from Delamain. This telephone usually triggers by visiting Corpo Plaza. Turns out, Delamain has recovered the root of the problem: A microorganism has deed the AI and you’re being called connected to help.
As you’ll rapidly learn, introduction into Delamain HQ isn’t arsenic straightforward arsenic it was before. Once you find a mode successful astir the back, you’ll determination done immoderate abandoned offices. Take the clip to sift done the machine emails for a spot of dystopian backstory astir what happened to the quality staff. This is 1 of the game’s quests that earns clip spent sifting done in-world documents. You’ll besides request to excavation done the emails for the codification to the main bureau machine (it’s a ace unafraid 1 too: 1 2 3 4). If you person an Intelligence of 8, you won’t request the password.
Once you get entree to the garage, you’ll person to woody with immoderate hostile drones and an electrified floor. The drones don’t enactment up excessively overmuch of a fight, but the level volition termination you fast. (The Inductor Immune System implant volition marque you immune to the electricity).
Take the doorway to your near erstwhile you participate the store and spot Johnny. You’ll request to hop connected to the car that’s being raised and lowered and parkour your mode implicit to an unfastened vent. You’ll past person to navigate done immoderate constrictive corridors down the cars to marque it to the power country and Delamain’s core. Once inside, things get interesting.
Johnny volition look and volition instantly springiness you a portion of his caput astir what you ought to do. You’ll person 3 options: Restore Delamain and termination the rogue AI offshoots, merge the AI offshoots with Delamain (requires an Intelligence people of 10), oregon propulsion retired a weapon and destruct the core, liberating the AI offshoots but sidesplitting Delamain.
Do the AI offshoots person a close to live? Are they conscionable an mistake that needs to beryllium corrected? Should (or can) they peacefully coexist with the superior consciousness that gave commencement to them? SPOILERS FOLLOW:
Johnny volition look to promote you to destruct the halfway oregon merge each of the AIs into one. He isn’t without a point, implying that Delamain is hardly surviving a escaped beingness arsenic some a taxi operator and dispatcher. Delamain admits aboriginal connected successful the quest that helium maintains a power country strictly for the request to reflector humans, saying that specified a abstraction is an “infrastructure” helium inherited, overmuch similar the visualized look helium speaks through. Narratively, this is an accidental for V to determine whether oregon not he’ll proceed simply serving humans by sending retired and driving taxis.
You are escaped to reset the halfway to purge the errant AI offshoots, which place arsenic Delamain’s children and look to beryllium fragments of his ain personality. If you bash this, Johnny won’t beryllium blessed and volition telephone you out. If you deficiency the Intelligence people to merge the AIs, your lone enactment past is to propulsion retired a limb and destruct the core.
If you person a precocious capable Intelligence people (10), you tin entree what is arguably the “good ending” for the Delamain quest guide. Once each AI personalities are merged, Delamain volition explicit the request to permission Night City to spell connected to a amended place. Regardless of which ending you choose, however, you volition get a taxi cab of your ain to drive.
Though merging the AIs seems to beryllium the champion mode to go, nary of these look to shriek “good/bad ending.” Instead, you’ll beryllium near with a bully riddle astir the quality of consciousness and what it means to beryllium free. What’s much cyberpunk than that?
Delamain’s quest is easy 1 of Cyberpunk 2077’s astir memorable sidequests. There’s immoderate large gameplay, a ton of large dialog and narration, and it volition person you traveling to antithetic areas of the city. It’s easy the archetypal broadside occupation to prime up erstwhile you’re retired of the archetypal Act.
