Firestarter in Cyberpunk 2077 is the tenth story mission of the Phantom Liberty expansion. Having appropriated the appearance of the twins, you can finally begin to implement the plan to free Jay. In this guide, we will sequentially analyze the stages of completing the quest, in which the player faces a difficult choice: take Reed’s side or let Jay fly away.
Walkthrough of the "Firestarter" mission in Cyberpunk 2077
How to start a task
You will find the beginning of the mission in the garage, where the appearance has just been changed in the previous task of the chain - “Rules of the Game”; no separate actions are required to obtain it. If you switch to other quests, you can resume tracking the desired assignment through the quest log.
Important: if in the future you want to see different plot branches and gain access to all the endings of the add-on, make a separate save before this mission - this is where the division into different branches of endings takes place.
Get to the stadium
Having taken possession of the appearance of one of the twins, go in their car to the stadium. You won't be able to open the main map, just rely on the visual marker on the environment, checking your destination on the mini-map.
As you approach the stadium, turn into the underground parking lot and continue following the quest icon. Once you reach the gate, wait until your room is checked and then proceed further into the interior.
Park in the marked area. The companion will offer to study the dossier of “your” twin - this can be done by pressing the V key. It is suggested that you use the information in the summary to roleplay your character in order to successfully mislead others and not get caught in any trifles.
Follow Alex
Follow your partner, going deeper into the stadium. Take part in a short dialogue in front of closed doors, after which Murphy will escort you to the elevator.
Follow him to the lockers on the next floor - you will be required to surrender your weapons due to heightened security measures, as well as undergo an identity check. Everything will go smoothly and the short excursion will continue.
Talk to Hansen
Finally, you will be escorted to the colonel and after brief greetings, the conversation will continue at the table. And here you can reactivate the dossier and refresh your knowledge about your twin.
When asked how the casino game went, you need to choose an option depending on how the game ended when you first met the twins playing roulette.
When portraying Emeric, you also need to avoid getting caught up in the following questions:
- About buying a car, answer that you wanted to buy a Porsche 911;
- You don’t have to take a glass of vodka, or you can take it and give it to your sister - Emerick doesn’t drink;
- About the reason for leaving Petrochem choose
"I forgot"
.
If you are playing as Aurora, the questions will be slightly different:
- The thing to say about being in prison is that you don’t know Raquel;
- About the tailor - name Kerry Eurodina.
After this conversation-check, Jay will drop by the bar, and you can leave with her.
Follow Jay
In the next room, your partner will soon begin hacking the device. Wait until you have the opportunity to participate in the process.
We recommend saving before connecting to the server. In the dialogue that follows these events there will be an important plot fork.
You have to choose which direction the plot of Phantom Liberty will go:
- Help Jay escape. | I'm with you.
- Help Reed capture Jay. | Wait a minute.
Jay Rescue
If you decide to trust your partner and take her side, she will be able to connect to the system and will soon prepare an escape. Then Alex will finish off Hansen, and you will need to get out of the stadium filled with soldiers with Jay.
Pick up any weapons nearby and either immediately follow the mission marker or return to the room where the Colonel encounter took place and loot the loot, including his exclusive weapon. From time to time, when fighting enemies, prompts will appear that can be activated to use Jay's abilities against Hansen's soldiers.
Once you reach the weapons locker, be sure to pick up your equipment, which was deposited upon arrival at the stadium. Here you will need to wait until Jay opens the door.
Get to the market exit
The furious action won't let up for a while - just keep moving towards the marked exit points, eliminating enemies and collecting loot along the way. There are no forks or detours here, only a corridor shooter with peppy music.
Having reached the containers blocking the passage, move them by approaching from the side.
Next, you will continue through the sewer, which is guarded by drones - you can get rid of them by hacking or shooting. Once you reach the outer grate, get out onto the street, where a car is waiting for you near the homeless camp.
Sami will promise to contact you soon, and the task will change to the following - “Fading Star: Wait for news from Jay.”
Side with Reed - Capture Jay
In this case, Sami will still notice the catch and try to end your life - fortunately, without success. But Hansen will succeed - he will finish Alex off before your eyes, and Jay will leave, blaming you and Reed for what happened.
Escape from the cordon
Escape from the stadium will not be much different from the previous option, but there will be a little more opponents, since you will lose Jay's help in eliminating them. And just before leaving the market, you will have to personally clash with Hansen and his henchmen. This is a fairly serious battle, in which it is recommended to have a powerful melee weapon, since Kurt constantly breaks the distance for hand-to-hand combat.
After the enemy is defeated, you can take his equipment and go down to the parking lot using the elevator.
Reed will pick you up at the underground parking lot - get in the car and get out of here. You will be able to watch from the side as the distraught Jay is captured by the police. The mission will end, but the next one will begin - “Hour of Confusion.”
