Firestarter

Firestarter is a Main Job in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.

Walkthrough

This article requires cleanup.
[Reason: Should be rewritten as a story walkthrough from V's perspective]

Immediately following I've Seen That Face Before, V and Alena Xenakis (disguised as the Cassel twins) drive to the stadium. The pair is greeted by Albert Murphy, a Barghest soldier, upon arrival. Murphy escorts V and Alex, informing the pair that Barghest is alerted to a possible FIA operation, and that the pair needs to deposit their weapons in a locker before meeting with Hansen.

During the meeting, Hansen tests the identities of V and Alex. Too many incorrect responses will trigger an immediate game-over. You can use the dossier and knowledge of previous quests for hints on responding. Correct responses will differ depending on which twin V impersonates. Some incorrect responses can be saved with a valid follow-up response or with 20 Cool.

As Aurore Cassel:

• When offered a drink, take the drink.
• On gambling at the Black Sapphire, answer according to whether the twins won or lost the final bet in You Know My Name.
• While in prison, Aurore spent time in the VIP wing, and would not know prisoners from other cell blocks.
• Aurore is a fan of Kerry Eurodyne's style.
• Aurore is marked for death by France's underworld, so working with them would either be impossible or require a significant payout for the risk.

As Aymeric Cassel:

• On gambling at the Black Sapphire, answer according to whether the twins won or lost the final bet in You Know My Name.
• When asked about a classic car, answer that you were interested in the Porsche 911.
• When offered a drink, either don't take the drink or give it to Aurore.
• Aymeric does not remember their time with Petrochem, as their memories for those years were stolen.

After talking with Hansen, Songbird will arrive and lead V to the Neural Matrix. From here, V can help Songbird escape or help Reed capture Songbird. Phantom Liberty's main storyline will branch off depending on V's choice.

V betrays Solomon Reed:

After acquiring the Neural Matrix, it's time to signal Alex to eliminate Hansen. Songbird will breach the stadium, opening your escape route with her providing support via hacks. If you return to Hansen's body, you can loot two of his weapons: Bald Eagle and Wild Dog. Continue and navigate the first area to retrieve V's weapons. Afterward, proceed through the market area. Murphy will arrive - sneak around him or defeat and loot him for the iconic weapon Murphy's Law. Continue working towards the exit, avoiding or fighting a few drones. Once you reach the homeless camp, continue following the prompts until you both drive away, completing the quest and starting The Killing Moon.

V betrays Songbird:

After obtaining the Neural Matrix, Songbird will alert Hansen to the ruse. Hansen eliminates Alex, while V's ICEbreaker neutralizes Songbird's attack. Songbird escapes in the ensuing cinematic, creating an opening for V to follow. Navigate the stadium, collecting V's weapons on your way. At the market entrance, Hansen and several Barghest soldiers will ambush V. Hansen starts the fight with his light machine gun and revolver. At 50% health, Hansen switches to a knife and charges V. Defeat Hansen and loot him for his weapons: Bald Eagle, Fang, and Wild Dog. Descend to the parking garage and escape the stadium with Reed. Watch MaxTac capture Songbird, completing the quest and starting Black Steel In The Hour of Chaos.

Journal Entry

Think it's clear by now this ain't one of those stories that comes out all giggles and hugs. It's like I said – finger's on the trigger, just gotta decide who you got down your sights. Assumin' Hansen doesn't pull one on you first, of course. Good luck. And choose wisely.
