The Somewhat Damaged Quest is a main job inCyberpunk 2077Phantom Liberty DLC. Depending on your choices in the Firestarter quest, you will find yourself chasing after Songbird as she tries to escape using a MaxTac truck.
After the events of the ‘Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos’ quest, V follows Songbird’s tracks deeper into the Cynosure Facility to capture her and decide her fate. Your final decision in this quest can lead you to two different endings: The King of Cups and The King of Pentacles.
How To Search For Songbird
After finishing the‘Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos’quest, talk to Reed and he’ll ask you to investigate the crash site of Songbird’s escape truck.
‘Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos’ and the ‘Somewhat Damaged’ quest are only availableif you betray Songbirdand decide to help Reed at the end of’Firestarter.'
Follow the circular path along the walls of the destroyed area to reach the remains of the MaxTac truck below, andonce you’re on the ground, turn right and jump through the window in the corner.Reed will encourage you to follow the black wall residue trail to reach So Mi, andyou must descend through the building until you reach a closed door.
After getting into the sealed area, force the door open, and thenkeep following the traces of the Blackwall until you see Johnny, standing at the edge of a broken platform.
If you don’t pass the Body attribute check at the locked door, your only option is toswim through the submerged path.
Jump down the shaft into the water below, and once you resurface,follow the traces of the Blackwall to reach the Cynosure facility, where your conversation with Reed will be interrupted by So Mi.
How To Explore The Cynosure Facility
Once Songbird interrupts your conversation with Reed, open the door on your left (this is a minor Body Attribute check) andfollow the Blackwall residue to reach an elevator, which will take you further into the facility.The elevator will stop, and you mustrun forward until you reach a closed gate.
Enter the room marked as ‘Restricted Area’ on your right and turn left to access the maintenance shafts, thenhead straight, turn left, and drop to reach an area where you will see memories of Songbirdtalking to Hansen.
Unlike other doors so far,this gate can not be forced to openby completing the body attribute checks.
After the memory ends,talk to Songbirdand go through the door on your left(another Body Attribute check). After passing through the door,take a sharp right and go forward until you see Songbird standingin a large doorway on your left, but before you may get to her, the door will close, putting the facility in lockdown.
How To Lift The Lockdown
As youmonitor the gate statusfrom the attached terminal on your left, you will see that the gate is closed due to Dataterminal Alpha and Brova, which are still online. You mustfind these two Dataterminalsand shut them down to open the gate.
You can also see a map of the facility on your left, indicating the location of all four relevant Dataterminals in the area.
The Dataterminal Alpha is inside the Server Room on your left, towards the back, soforce the door open and use the terminal screenbefore you disable Dataterminal Alpha. While using the terminal, Songbird will try to lock you out of the console, soyou must bypass authorization by completing a Breach Protocol.
Disabling Alpha will pop open the service hatch below you,which can be used to reach Dataterminal Bravo directly.At Dataterminal Bravo, Songbird will attempt to stop you, butyou can scan the terminal to find a cable behind it, which can be removed to disable the Bravo Dataterminal.
How To Escape Cerberus In Somewhat Damaged Quest
Once you disable Dataterminal Bravo, it will trigger a cutscene in which a ceiling grate will fall on top of V, and thena Cerberus will drop from the opening above you.Songbird will try to fight the Blackwall AI to regain control of the Militech robot, butafter she fails, you must escape.
Removing the ceiling grate from V in time is crucial becausefailure will result in Game Over. Similarly, you will suffer from the same fate if you get caught by the robot.
Once you regain control of V’s body,the mission objective will be updated to ‘Hide from the robot',so go to theroom in the hallway to your left,which has a smallopening for you to drop. From this point onwards, the robot willcontinuously hunt Vuntil the end of the mission, so it’s important to tread carefullyandnot get caughtsince you cannot fight back.
How To Enter Sector 3 In Somewhat Damaged Quest
After avoiding the Militech robot, you mustgo to the next two Dataterminals, Sierra and Viktor, to disable them completely. Follow the drop passage until you reach a yellow ladder;climb this ladder, turn left, and reach the medical room.
The Dataterminal Sierra is inside the Engineering section on the other side of the Medical room, sojack in and complete the breach protocol to disable it.
If you have body attribute 20,you’re able to use the door across the medical roomto reach the engineering section directly. Otherwise, you will have togo around from your left.
Once you disable the Dataterminal, it will draw Cerberus to your location; once the robot arrives, keep hiding until it goes away,and then head to the Security section to reach Dataterminal Viktor.To reach the security section, exit the current room andopen the door on your left, turn right, then right again, keep heading straight, and then enter the second room to your left.
The procedure to disable the last Dataterminal is the same as Sierra, just plug in your personal link and complete the breach protocol in time, butremember to hide from the robot once you are done.Once you have disabled all Dataterminals,head back to the sealed gate and use the terminal to open it,then keep running straight when the robot chases you.
After you reach a dead end, turn towards the airlock on your left and enter, so the robot stops following you.
How To Shutdown The Core In Somewhat Damaged Quest
After passing through a series of airlocks,follow the traces of the Blackwall to the Core control room.Trying to shut down the core from the console will fail, forcing you togo to three locations in the facilityto resolve this issue.
After completing each room, therobot will arriveat your location, so it’s best tohide and waitfor the robot to leave independently. Once all issues in all rooms have been fixed,return to the Core Controlroom and attempt to shut down the core again.
As you attempt to shut down the core, it will trigger another scripted sequence, after which you willtalk to Songbirdand decide her fate. In the last conversation with Songbird, you willhave two choices, determining the ending you get:
