(Don't Fear) The Reaper

Contains major spoilers of the main quest. You have been warned.

(Don't Fear) The Reaper is a main job in Cyberpunk 2077. It is the so-called "secret ending" which requires an affinity of 70% with Johnny, or can be alternatively unlocked through making specific choices at the end of Chippin' in.

Walkthrough
In order to unlock this ending, V has to be indecisive in making who to call for help at the rooftop. After a certain amount of time passes, Johnny would comment that it is tough to decide who "will die for you", and proposes to enter the Arasaka Tower and reach Mikoshi on their lonesome-- making this a suicide mission. This echoes with Dex's question in the beginning:

"Would you rather live in peace as Mr. Nobody... or go down for all times in a blaze of glory?"

Save is not allowed throughout combat. V will enter the building at the front gate directly, and have to fight guards who are at max level. There is only one save point after reaching the elevator, making this mission insanely difficult unless V is at least at a level of mid-40s, or even at max level, and even with decent gear it will prove a challenge to survive, as V's max HP decreases over time. It is advised to stock up on ammo and meds before proceeding, but these can also be crafted between combats. Enemies spawn as the player reaches certain checkpoints, and therefore it is impossible to hide and pick them off with ping. Dying at any point will result in a credit roll similar to the "easy way out" ending.

Once Alt is successfully uploaded to the access point and connected to Mikoshi, Alt will offer V a choice to either offer the body to Johnny, or to keep the body. Choosing Johnny results in the New Dawn Fades ending whereas choosing V will result in the Path of Glory ending.

Trivia

 * The title of the job comes from the Blue Öyster Cult song, (Don't Fear) The Reaper.
