Topic Role
This is not a single guide. It is the reading route for the Cyberpunk 2077 hub. Its job is to connect existing guides in player order: solve the current blocker first, then move the reader naturally into the next checklist, route, or stage.
Quick Answer
Pick your build lane before planning endings. A first run is easier when attributes, cyberware, weapons, relationship jobs, Dogtown timing, and the point-of-no-return checklist are treated as one route instead of separate decisions.

How To Use This Hub
| Player State | Start Here | Goal |
|---|---|---|
| First playthrough | Read from stage 1 | Build a stable route and avoid missed or repeated travel |
| Stuck mid-run | Jump to the matching stage | Return to the game quickly without reading unrelated material |
| Postgame cleanup | Work backward from the final two stages | Close collectibles, challenges, endings, or hard-mode goals efficiently |
Before You Plan Endings
| Check | Why |
|---|---|
| Main combat identity | Ending cleanup is smoother when your build already handles normal gigs and fights |
| Relationship job status | Some ending paths rely on major side-job progress |
| Dogtown timing | Phantom Liberty can change the route, so do not treat it as random side content |
| Point of no return | Make a save and close important jobs before committing |
| Cleanup appetite | Decide whether you want one ending, several endings, or full postgame cleanup |
FAQ
Should I choose my ending before my build?
No. Choose the build lane first so combat, cyberware, and perk decisions stay coherent. Ending planning becomes easier after your character can comfortably clear the jobs that unlock options.
When should I start Phantom Liberty?
Start Dogtown when your build, cyberware, and gear are stable enough that the DLC does not interrupt your main route. If your current setup still feels messy, fix the build first.
What should I do before the point of no return?
Make a manual save, finish key relationship jobs, review Dogtown choices if relevant, clear any must-do gigs, and check whether you want multiple ending routes.
Expansion Plan
- Split each stage into more specific single-problem guides.
- Add video or screenshots to hard fights, complex routes, and collectible pages.
- Link future articles back here so this hub becomes a long-term return point.
