How to get the best PL ending?

[Zirael]

I'd appreciate some help in getting the ending for Phantom Liberty where V is cured of the relic and lives, somewhat spoiler free, I'm just beginning the DLC after unlocking it via the quest via Judy's questline. are there any requirements for it?

Side with Reed when the time comes.

There are two ways to get it. Without completely spoiling it, you can either:

1) Help Songbird at a pinnacle moment, then betray her at the last moment.

2) Betray Songbird at a pinnacle moment, and continue to work against her no matter how hard she tries to convince you otherwise.

The important thing to remember is: You made a deal with some powerful people, and if you want your end of that deal, you have to see this through to their benefit.

Another important step is letting Songbird live when the time comes.

Its not the best PL ending. Id even argue its one of the worst for V. But make sure you suck up to Myers like the big mommy she is, and Reed is your big brother so trust him with your life.

The cure ending is the worst ending in the game, imo. I felt like the best PL ending was sending songbird to the moon. You get great closure for the PL story arc, and more insight into Johnny's character. Plus the final stretch of combat is intense.

Agreed, awful ending. I don't really like sending Songbird to the moon either since she admitted lying to V, but at least it locks me out of the "good" ending, which is a big plus. Means I can keep going with the nomad ending

Note that the game will create a "point of no return" save before you do that final cure ending. This is good, in case you want to go back and do the regular game unfinished content and endings.
