02 / EASY WALKTHROUGH

Step by step.

01

Complete a Phantom Liberty route that preserves access to Reed’s cure offer.

02

Finish desired side stories and make a separate manual save.

03

Review your messages and unfinished companion quests.

04

Proceed only when ready for The Tower ending.

03 / WHAT THE CHOICE MEANS

Story context.

You cannot simply remove all cyberware to preserve V’s old capabilities; the ending’s loss of augmentation is a narrative consequence. Companion calls and reactions may differ based on romance and quest choices.

Tip: Make a separate manual save before a major branching conversation. The guide focuses on in-game story choices; outcomes can depend on earlier decisions.

04 / FAQ

Quick questions.

Does the operation let V remain an active merc?

The story portrays V as having lost the ability to use most combat cyberware.

Can I return to other ending branches?

Only by loading an earlier manual save.
