How to unlock the King of Swords achievement in Cyberpunk 2077 - Definitive Guide
Be aware, there are mayor plot spoilers ahead:
After the credits roll, V and Johnny will discuss the fate of the characters while seated on a bench overlooking the spaceport in the distance. Choose any option to proceed and unlock the achievement.
Congratulations on completing Phantom Liberty!
The fourth, and final of Phantom Liberty’s endings, is the King of Swords ending, which is very similar to the King of Wands (35G) ending, albeit with a slight twist at the end.
To get the King of Swords ending, like the other endings, during the “Firestarter” main mission, just after Kurt Hansen’s conversation test, you’ll be given 2 choices: “Help Songbird” or “Help Reed capture Songbird.” Again, make sure you prepare a save here to get the other 2 endings, if you don’t already have one prepared. Once you’ve done that, choose:
- “Help Songbird escape | I’m with you.”
Like King of Wands (35G), you and Songbird will then have to escape from the stadium, and like that ending, you’ll end up meeting up with a fragile Songbird a few days later, and commencing the main mission:
- “The Killing Moon”
Now, for this ending, you’ll need to give Songbird up to Reed, rather than put her on the shuttle. There are loads of places to be able to make this choice when you get onto the train, but once again, if you don’t have King of Wands (35G), prepare a save now.
The first time to give Songbird up is on the train, when you get to your destination. When you need to get off the train, select:
- “Call Reed | Reed’ll take care of you.”
You’ll then have to take her to Reed. Now, it’s important you just agree with him in the next phase. When you meet up with Reed, say the following:
- “Deal.” (you can also say, “Song’s yours, fine. But I don’t want shit from you.” However, that would close you off for the base game’s new The Tower (35G) ending, so it’s not worth it. Although you can renegotiate at another time, but we’re getting too complicated and granular for what we want to achieve here).
- When you get to the shuttle walkway, say “Lay Songbird down | You were right - Song’s a traitor.”
You can say whatever you want when Reed gets on the transport vehicle. And that’s how to unlock the King of Swords ending, and the King of Swords achievement.
Like the other route, there is a follow up quest, although this comes after the credits this time. That quest is “Through Pain to Heaven,” so keep an eye out for that if you want to see all this game's ending has to offer.
