Johnny's Silver hand and Phantom liberty ending

[Hamlet1984]

Hey i got 2 questions
1. Is getting the johnny silver hand ghost thing still possible on the current version of cyberpunk
2. After you do a normal ending of cyberpunk you get put back to a save with nocturne op55n1, but after you do phantom liberty ending would you still get put back to the save with nocturne op55n1?

[Ghost]

1. Yes, depending on what you mean by that. Might like to clarify.

2. No. PL has 4 endings, 2 of them end the game, the other 2 leave you on a bench having a conversation with Johnny, after which you can continue playing.
You'd still get sent back to Embers if you're completing the main story.

1. If you mean having Johnny's personality as a 'sidekick' in the form of a 'ghost' that appears from time to time that you can talk to, yes. I didn't play before the DLC, but I don't think this has changed.

2. The DLC content and story is separate from the main game, mostly. You can do it whenever you want (after first doing specific 'mandatory' missions in the main game), and the main game's storyline will continue after. You don't get 'put back' after Phantom Liberty's main story, simply continue playing.

(sorry, only noticed Ghost's post now )

1. What i mean is that back in the early versions of cyberpunk you can get a "junk item" that is johnny's hand where if you press it your left hand will look like johnny's hand albeit a lil transparent
2. What i mean is that after the "things have changed" the final mission of phantom liberty can you still keep playing like is the main game final quest still there are all my items still there

[Hamlet1984]

If you done the main game endings you'll be sent back to a save where you havent done the final mission does phantom liberty's final mission send you back to the save where you havent done the final mission of main game cyberpunk

[Silverbane7]

1. No.
The 'junk item' that allowed you to equip his ghostly cyberarm was removed a long time ago.
It was never actually meant to be a thing.
You might be able to use mods to recreate it, but I don't think I've seen it at nexus.

2. Afaik if you chose the ending known as 'the Tower' it's the only one that won't offer a 'just one more gig' option after it's ending is played out.
(That is, to send you back to the 'point of no return' save outside of Embers, to let you keep playing while giving you whatever items you were gifted for completing that ending)

So Phantom Liberty itself has 4 endings. 2 of them let you keep playing, the other 2 end the game - Go to menu, do not collect $200.

If you've completed one of the 2 endings that let you continue in your current playthrough, you'll get an extra option at the end of Nocturne Op55N1, which just ends up being one of PL's endings that send you back to the menu.

The reward is being able to call reed during the arasaka tower assault right? So if we do the 2 endings that end the game do our save gets deleted do we have to start a new one?

That is the extra option, yes. Your saves don't get deleted (don't rely on autosaves), so you can just reload and make a different choice.

I see, i have 2 questions thought you said 2 endings let you keep playing and 2 endings end the game, whats the difference? Does the 2 endings that let you keep playing just not kick you to the main menu but the endings that end the game do?

Also another question, when we do the main game ending we get teleported back to Nocturne Op55n1 right where we can do another ending, does phantom liberty do that? When we complete a phantom liberty ending do we have to go back to a previous save to do another ending or will the game still have the phantom liberty mission available?

The 2 endings that end the game kick you back to the main menu after the credits. As far as they are concerned, the game is over at that point. The game doesn't prevent you from loading your saves though.

The other 2 endings don't kick you back to the main menu after the credits. Instead, you end up on a bench in Night City and have a talk with Johnny about what just happened, then you get up and continue playing. Phantom Liberty's main story is over, but the game itself is not.

None of PL's endings send you back to a checkpoint like 77's story does after most of it's endings, so you'll have to reload an earlier save. You'll want to keep a save at the start of, or before, the Firestarter quest.

You said something along the lines of $200, is that one of the rewards for completing phantom liberty? And why do you say dont claim it?

Also whats the best ending for rewards? Help songbird or Help reed? Do we get those blackwall hacks if we complete phantom liberty?

[Hamlet1984]

Oh and doing the endings that end the game still allows me to load a save and do the remaining side quests right

That was a joke reference.

Best rewards are somewhat subjective. You'll get a bunch of things towards the end either way. Side with Songbird and you get Reed's gun, Songbird's cyberware, and some lore items. Side with Reed and you get Hansen's knife, the chance to make a special item, and either $30000 and a medal, $5000, or no money.

To get the Blackwall hack, you'll have to side with Reed. During the Somewhat Damaged mission, you may find the blueprints for 2 special items. You'll have to search for them.
One is a cyberdeck with the hack, and the other is a Power submachine gun. You can only have one of them at a time though, as they both require the same unique item.

Ooo i see, does blackwall hack cost more or the same as suicide hack and what special item can i make if i side with reed

IIRC it costs 14 RAM to use, and Suicide costs 24.

The items are the ones you make from the blueprints in Somewhat Damaged.
Militech Canto Mk.6 Cyberware (which contains the Blackwall hack) and Erebus.
