A detailed guide to getting all the endings of the Phantom Freedom expansion, with spoilers.
Developers from CD Projekt RED have given players the opportunity to open multiple endings in the Phantom Freedom expansion. In this guide we will tell you in detail about each ending. Beware of spoilers!
How many endings are there in the game?
Players will be able to unlock four endings in the Phantom Liberty DLC: King of Wands, King of Swords, King of Cups, and King of Pentacles. Also, the King of Swords and King of Pentacles endings will provide an early finish to the entire Tower game. For each open option, trophies of the same name will open.
Please note that detailed instructions for obtaining all endings and completing epilogue missions can be found in our separate guide.
What choice should you make in the Doomsday quest?
The exit to one or another ending appears in the story mission “Judgment Day”. The further development of history depends on this. The endings open immediately before the end of the plot. Let us note the available directions:
- “Help Jay Escape” – King of Wands and King of Swords endings. Jay will do his best to help V get out of Hansen’s base. She will be able to activate various abilities and, together with the hero, will head to the spaceport in the mission “Fading Star”. In these endings, Alex kills Kurt Hansen and remains alive.
- “Help Reed Capture Jay” – King of Cups and King of Pentacles endings. Jay will get angry at V and run away without his help. The girl will have to be freed from “Max-Tak” in the mission “Hour of Confusion” and follow her to the abandoned Militech laboratory in the quest “Gaze into the Abyss”. In these endings, Kurt Hansen kills Alex, so V will have to destroy the villain himself.
Below we will talk in detail about each ending in the game.
King of Wands.
Once V has reached the hangar by train, he must activate the option “[Raise Jay] It’s time for us to leave.” We take Jay to the shuttle and meet Reed on the way. We activate the options “[Place Jay] Calmly”, “I won’t let you take her”, “[Take out a weapon] Sorry”.
We shoot at the agent with lightning speed and carry the girl into the shuttle. We leave the location, get to the hangar and watch the flight of the spaceship.
Later, V will receive a message from Alex, who will want to meet at the Moth Bar and discuss the events that have occurred. The hero will tell the agent about Reed’s death and learn that Alex’s last task is to destroy him. The girl will let V go as she knows about his mortal situation and asks him not to die too early. Their paths will diverge, but they will part as friends.
V will also receive a message from Jay in the quest “Signal from Space” and will be able to find a token from the Moon. It can be assumed that scientists on the Earth’s satellite were able to cure the heroine.
King of Swords
After reaching the hangar by train, V must activate the option “[Call Reed] Reed will pick you up,” “Help me keep my life,” and “Agreed.” We take Jay to the shuttle and hand her over to Reed. After this, the player will be able to meet with the agent at the gas station and discuss the events that occurred in a short conversation. Reed promises to save Jay, who will forever remain under the supervision of the US government.
King of Cups
After disabling the core in the abandoned Militech laboratory and reaching Soyka, you need to activate the “[Kill Somi] Good” option. The girl will ask to be disconnected from the network so that she can be freed from the disease and avoid the fate of a guinea pig. Reed will be very upset by V’s choice. Together they will take the girl’s body to US agents.
President Myers is also dissatisfied with the hero’s actions, so she refuses to heal him. Later, Reed will meet with V and tell him that he has let everyone down, including himself. Despite this, the agent will reveal his true feelings to the hero, and they will part ways as friends who will never have the opportunity to see each other and relax in a bar together in the future. Reed will train young agents at Langley.
King of Pentacles
After shutting down the core, V will meet with Jay. You must use the option “[Keep Somi alive] I refuse.” Reed will take the girl’s body. Together the heroes will deliver the body to NUS agents. President Myers will praise the hero and give him a medal.
Reed is glad that he acted according to his conscience, but the next time they meet, he will be sad to discuss what happened. Jay will forever remain under the supervision of NUS agents and will never be released. Reed will also train young agents at Langley.
Tower
After completing the expansion with the King of Swords and King of Pentacles endings, V will have a chance to heal. You must first ask Reed or Myers about this. In the quest “A Quiet Life,” V will receive a call from Reed. After this, the player needs to get to Misty and climb to the roof. At this point there will be a point of no return. V will discuss the events that took place with Johnny and fly off by transport to the US government laboratory.
After awakening in the quest “Nobody Waits for a Mercenary,” V learns that the state rippers managed to remove the biochip, but he became an ordinary person, since all the implants were pulled out of his body. Reed will invite V to work with him in the office. Considering the agent’s offer, the hero goes to Victor, where he learns about significant changes in Night City. Reaper now works for a corporation, and Misty has closed her shop and is heading to Europe. V will have to come to terms with the current situation and learn to live as an ordinary person in a world without augmentations.
How to opt out of the Phantom Liberty DLC
Please note that the player is free to refuse to complete the “Phantom Freedom” add-on. There are several possible options for this event:
- After receiving the task and meeting with Jay, we do not go to Dog Town. We get into the transport and go to the apartment. We can go to bed. Jay will be unhappy and knock V out. The next morning the hero will wake up on the street, and Johnny will say that the hero did the right thing.
- After the fall of President Myers’ transport, we go to another place and do not go to save the politician. The result is the same as in the previous version.
- After rescuing President Myers and meeting with Agent Reed, you can select the “Leave” option in the dialogue. We leave the location and go about our business. After some time, V will receive a message that President Myers was saved without the help of a hero.
