secret ending rage

[Chicken Collector]

so i completed another save, did every single mission, aiming to finally get the secret ending, but when I got to the roof top, it didn't trigger. I must have missed something back in the oil field about 30 hours ago.....

I have to ask, what was the logic behind this design choice? Why would you lock content like this? i spent almost 70 hours trying to get a perfect game, but now i guess i only have myself to blame.

there is a console command to change your "score" with johnny so you can get the ending.

I'm guessing you waited long enough at the right voice prompt to get the ending to trigger?

[Mander]

Forgive me if I ask, but you do know that you need to wait for a score of minutes for the option to pop out? AND you need to be in the "right" dialogue branch?

I'm asking, because the need for the correct choices in the oil field has been patched somewhat, making it easier to trigger the secret ending.

I did this secret ending several times now. Yes, there's specific reply choices you'll have to make during your talk with Johnny in the oil field. If you accomplish the correct sequence of replies, you'll unlock the secret ending.

After this, when you get to the rooftop over at Misty's to contemplate your next choice of action against Arasaka, you'll want to choose to call Rogue first. Once Johnny asks you if you're absolutely sure, you reply with needing more time to think. Moments later Johnny will start talking again, offering a different solution, which is to be just you and him taking on Arasaka together.

The correct dialogue sequence is as follows. Spoilers.

-first Inscribe Johnny's Initials and reply with "Let's do something about that."

second reply - "The Guy who Saved My Life."

third reply - "Nah, ♥♥♥♥♥♥ that up too."

fourth reply - "What do you want from me?"

fifth reply - "OK. But as second chances go, this is your last."

sixth reply - "You were a real ♥♥♥♥ in the beginning."

seventh reply - "When you said you let down your friends..."

eighth reply - "Smasher biz really got to her."

final reply - "Yeah, I'll call Rogue."

This ending was one of my favorites. Make sure to bring your guns fully loaded and leveled up. If playing on very hard, take your supplements when you're on Misty's rooftop. Ram regen, Stamina regen, Health regen, boosters, etc because the fight will happen right away.

Yep Nar!'s spot on. It's all down to those dialogue choices, regardless of what else you might find on the internets. Tested over a couple playthroughs now.

It's entirely based on the score you have with Johnny when you open the menu. It should be more than 70%. You have to give response to Johnny (throughout the game) that are in agreement with him and don't give responses that insult him or disagree, and it has to be done throughout the game. I was able to get it to 85%.

It that I went to do a nr 2 on toilet or I would never have found out about secret ending.

Just to clarify: it is *not* score dependent. I have had >80% scores and the Don't Fear the Reaper ending doesn't trigger. It is 100% based on the dialogue choices as detailed above.

This.
I've watched a choom get the secret ending to trigger when he was still at 40% or so on YouTube with these dialogue options.
You don't have to agree with everything Johnny says, but you DO have to interact with him.
Call him out on his bulls#it now and again, it's fine.
Just don't blue pill him every time he wants to talk.

Exactly this + you don't need to agree with Johnny all the time, but you have to interact with him any time you can. So you eventually you missed this at some point or gave the wrong answers at the important parts somewhere.

But a completely different question: how do you come to the conclusion that CP77 is just a GTA clone? Sorry but this is not a review, just a deliberate distortion of reality. https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198131657529/recommended/1091500/
Alternatively, you haven't understood a single thing about what this game is trying to convey. Sorry, really!

To this day I seriously hate the fact the specific dialogue is the only way to get it. I like the other dialogue options way more

the only thing i would add to my review is that the gun play is super addicting. it is the only reason i came back to the game. i stay true to everything else on that review. the side missions are boring, and the story feels like children trying to capture what it feels like to be a blade runner movie.

Same. That series of dialogue is so antithetical to how I treat people in the real world.

[Talilover]

Bro what do you mean, it makes perfect sense for a game to track your friendship with Johnny Silverhand with a growing percentage meter only for that percentage to mean nothing in the face of a single line of dialogue choices from a side mission

And of course when you get to said dialogue choices, which are what REALLY matters to making Johnny view you as a friend, it makes sense that you don't just pick the immediately friendly options and instead said he messed up your friendship already. What, did you think being nice to Johnny throughout the campaign and doing all of side missions would be enough? Get real bro

Funnily enough this isn't even the first time CD Projekt red tied their best ending to a single dialogue option that you can easily miss and it ruins your chance of getting the ending despite doing everything else right (witcher 3 blood and wine dlc)

You never called out a friend on their ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥? Cos that's what real friends do - they tell you when you messed up. Johnny knows that and he also knows he ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up big time with his night out. And Johnny can't stand bootlickers who're nice to him just to get on his good side. So, yes, it actually does make sense Johnny would like you more when you're being real with him.

As for not spelling it out for you which dialogue options will unlock the "secret ending" - it's called a secret ending for a reason, and by now, it's such a huge secret still that you can just google it all.

Sorry to hear that
