Are you ready to make the ultimate decision? In “Phantom Liberty,” the final expansion of Cyberpunk 2077, you’ll face a choice that will determine the fate of your journey. Do you agree to Reed’s deal or take matters into your own hands and kill him to save Songbird? The consequences of your decision will not only impact the expansion’s ending but may even unlock a new ending for the main Cyberpunk 2077 story. It’s a tough call, so let’s explore the consequences of both choices. But beware, major spoilers lie ahead!
🚀 Reed’s Deal Explained: To Call or Not to Call?
If you choose to help Songbird in the Firestarter mission, you’ll accompany her to the train that leads to the Moon rocket. During this journey, So Mi drops a bombshell. She reveals that she’s been lying to you all along, and the Neural Matrix cure can only be used once. This revelation sets the stage for the pivotal choice in the “Phantom Liberty” ending – calling Reed. Once the train arrives at the rocket launch area, you have two options:
- Call Reed: Contact Reed and strike a deal to obtain the promised cure. This choice locks you into a specific ending with its own consequences.
- Pick Up Songbird: Choose to ignore Reed and simply pick up Songbird, proceeding directly to the rocket pod. This choice does not prevent you from experiencing the new main story ending.
If you decide to call Reed, he’ll make an offer. Here’s how you can respond:
- “Deal.”: Agree to Reed’s terms. This choice locks you into the relevant ending.
- “Song’s yours, fine. But I don’t want shit from you.”: Agree to give up Songbird but refuse the cure. You can still pursue the new main story ending without being locked out.
- Hang up | “No deal, not handin’ Songbird over.”: Refuse the deal. This decision does not prevent you from obtaining the new main story ending.
Regardless of your choice, you’ll find yourself face to face with Reed on the walkway to the rocket pod. Make sure to put Songbird down, or Reed will eventually shoot you, forcing you to reload your last checkpoint.

🔪 Kill Reed: Drawing the Line
Killing Reed, or choosing the “draw weapon” option, isn’t available immediately. You’ll need to engage in a conversation with Reed first. If you didn’t call Reed or rejected his deal, V will draw a revolver after placing Songbird down. At this point, you’ll have several dialogue options. Choose “Song’s dyin’” or “can’t let you take her,” and more dialogue options will become available. Finally, select “draw weapon.”
Time will seem to slow down as the game prompts you to shoot Reed in the head before he does the same to you. With Reed out of the picture, you can place Songbird in the rocket and witness its majestic blast-off while chatting with Johnny Silverhand. After the credits roll, you’ll find yourself at the spaceport the next morning, engaging in a conversation with Johnny. No further missions follow, indicating the end of the “Phantom Liberty” story.
💼 Reed’s Deal: An Alternate Path
Reaching this ending in “Phantom Liberty” can be achieved in several ways. The easiest method is to call Reed on the train and agree to the deal, which locks you into this ending. However, there are other options if you didn’t call Reed or rejected his offer. When given the chance to holster your weapon during the conversation, choose to do so and deescalate the situation. This will open up the possibility of striking a deal with Reed.
Once you agree to Reed’s terms, he will take So Mi, and the credits will roll. Afterward, you’ll have a conversation with Johnny, followed by a call from Reed. This leads to the mission “Through Pain To Heaven,” where you’ll have one final talk with Reed at a gas station. He’ll provide you with information regarding the new Cyberpunk 2077 ending for the main story.
If you choose to accept Reed’s deal but refuse anything in return, you won’t be permanently locked out of the new story ending. After the credits, Reed will message you, giving you one last chance to either accept or reject the promised surgery. Rejecting the cure at this point may permanently prevent you from accessing this particular ending, while accepting it will lead you into the “Through Pain To Heaven” mission as usual.
