V's wild ride through the neon-soaked chaos of Dogtown continues, and if anyone thought escorting President Myers to safety would be a straightforward gig, well, they clearly haven't been paying attention. The fourth mission in Phantom Liberty, Lucretia My Reflection, picks up right where the adrenaline-pumping showdown with the Chimera left off. With that mechanical nightmare finally dealt with, it's time to track down the elusive Songbird and reconnect with everyone's favorite digital roommate, Johnny Silverhand.

Scavenging the Battlefield 🎯

Once the dust settles from the Chimera fight, players will spot the Chimera's Core lying on the ground like a forgotten party favor. Sure, picking it up is technically optional, but trust me—grab that thing. It'll prove useful later in the DLC, and nobody wants to kick themselves for leaving behind a crucial piece of tech. While you're at it, stock up on the scattered ammo and supplies littering the area. That battle wasn't exactly light on the trigger finger, after all.

Oh, and for those who appreciate quality firepower, the unique Kyubi Power Assault Rifle is waiting in the top right corner of the upper floor. Consider it a little reward for surviving the mechanical apocalypse.

Underground Navigation

After looting to your heart's content, it's time to crack open a container and squeeze through a narrow hallway. Of course, because nothing in Night City can ever be simple, the exit on the other side is locked tighter than a corpo's wallet. The solution? Look up, find the hatch, and climb your way out into the subway tunnels like the scrappy merc V is.

Johnny's Back, Baby! 🎸

Inside an abandoned subway cart, Myers suggests calling Songbird. Spoiler alert: she doesn't pick up. Cue Johnny Silverhand's dramatic reappearance, complete with his trademark pessimism and a confirmation that wherever Songbird is, it's probably not a spa day. Finally, V gets a chance to catch up with the rockerboy who's been conspicuously absent since Songbird hijacked the Relic. It's like reuniting with an old friend who never stops complaining but somehow you still missed them.

The Fork in the Tunnel

Continuing through the subway cart, V and Myers need to team up to shove aside a pile of building materials. This opens up two potential paths forward. Here's a pro tip: heading left leads to a dead-end maintenance tunnel with absolutely nothing inside except disappointment and wasted time. The real path is to the right, but watch out for that pesky camera lurking in the shadows. Either hack it into submission or shoot it down—your call.

To access the security room ahead, you'll need either 20 Strength or 20 Technical Ability to force the door. Don't have the stats? No problem. Head back to the entrance and look up at the yellow platform where a valve is waiting to be switched off. This deactivates the steam blocking a hidden passage. Clever, right?

One more camera waits in the hallway beyond. If you've already been spotted, make a pitstop at the security room's computer to erase any footage of your unauthorized presidential escort mission.

The Relic Strikes Again

Proceeding to the elevator, players might notice their vision getting a bit... wonky. That's the Relic acting up again, because V just can't catch a break. Inside the elevator, the biochip malfunctions hard enough to force V to sit down and ride out what's essentially a mini existential crisis.

Myers, naturally, wants to know what's going on. You can either brush it off as "nothing" or come clean about the Arasaka biochip slowly killing you from the inside. Honestly? Tell her everything. Having the President of the New United States of America in your corner isn't the worst insurance policy. Plus, on the 8th floor, there's a King of Pentacles Tarot Card on the right wall just waiting to be scanned and collected.

Power Problems in Dogtown

Arriving at Songbird's supposed meeting spot, V and Myers find the place darker than Johnny's sense of humor and just as abandoned. After some uninspiring scanning of the area, head right into the generator room. Attempting to start the generator triggers another Johnny appearance because, of course, he has opinions. The rockerboy's paranoia is in full swing as he warns V about trusting Myers and Songbird. Whether you take his advice seriously or chalk it up to Johnny being Johnny is up to you.

To actually get power running, you'll need to locate a battery. Head to the main room on the left where a destroyed Battery-Powered Drone is chilling. Scan it, yank out the battery, and hustle back to connect it to the Battery Case in the generator room. Boom—let there be light.

Unexpected Guests 🍺

With power restored, Myers trades her NUSA uniform for something more casual and settles in with a beer like she's on vacation instead of hiding in Dogtown. Players can join her for a drink while listening to Gillian Jordan's radio broadcast featuring a special message from Kurt Hansen about Dogtown's complicated relationship with the NUSA.

The cozy moment gets interrupted when two strangers—Jacob and Taylor—walk in uninvited. Myers immediately goes into "eliminate the threat" mode, but V can defuse the situation through conversation. These two aren't thrilled about having a gun pointed at them by the President, but promising to get them out of Dogtown smooths things over nicely. Just don't move too close during negotiations, or things will get messy fast.

The Choice: Kill or Cooperate?

Option	Immediate Result	Long-term Impact
Kill Jacob & Taylor	Loot their bodies, dispose in garbage shoot	Lose potential allies and useful information
Keep them alive	They provide muscle for Myers	Jacob explains air drops in Dogtown

Spoiler: keeping them alive is the smarter play. Extra muscle is always welcome, and Jacob's intel about air drops is actually valuable.

Morning Briefing

After a night's rest, V finds Myers on the balcony having a cigarette like a character in a noir film. With Songbird still MIA, Myers is running out of options. Enter Solomon Reed, a sleeper agent who can be contacted using the access code Zero, Nine, Three, One at an old telephone in Captain Caliente's Restaurant.

Before sending V into Dogtown proper, Myers makes it official: V is now an agent of the U.S. Government. She even provides an FIA database and a commemorative coin. Players can choose to take the oath (which annoys Johnny but has no other consequences) or skip the formalities.

Key Takeaways 📝

• Always pick up the Chimera's Core - it's useful later

• Grab the Kyubi Power Assault Rifle for quality firepower

• Turn right in the tunnel unless you enjoy dead ends

• Tell Myers about the Relic - presidential connections matter

• Keep Jacob and Taylor alive - they're more useful than their loot

• Remember the access code: 0931 for contacting Solomon Reed

With the FIA coin in hand and Johnny grumbling about government work, V heads down the elevator toward the next phase of this increasingly complicated spy thriller. Dogtown awaits, and something tells me Songbird's radio silence is just the beginning of V's problems. But hey, what's one more impossible mission when you're already dying from a malfunctioning biochip? 🤷
