Unlocking the quest
How to start the quest: It will automatically be added to your quest log after you have completed two main jobs preceding the story finale, the so-called points of no return. The jobs in question are the following:
- Search and Destroy- it concerned the meeting with Hanako Arasaka arranged by Takemura.
- Tapeworm - it was a quest that used to activate throughout the entire game and consisted in conversations with Johnny about the Relic. These conversations were scripted and you could not miss it.
Visiting Afterlife
You must meet Rogue at the Afterlife club in Little China in Watson. After coming to Afterlife, you must find Johnny and agree to swallow the pill that will allow him to temporarily take control of V's body .
The game will now display an "overview" of scenes featuring Johnny. During the following scenes you may do whatever you want (e.g. order any drink at the bar, choose any pill from the stranger or attack a bodyguard) and choose any dialogue options. This has no impact on further events in this quest.
Meeting Rogue
V will regain consciousness in an apartment in the Pacifica region and a conversation with Rogue will be triggered. This meeting is linear. The end of the meeting will trigger a new conversation with Johnny. Talk to him about finding Grayson.
You must now wait one day for Rogue to call. If you want to proceed faster, you can use the option to skip time or go rest in V's apartment. Rogue will tell you about the docks occupied by the Maelstrom gang. Go to Afterlife again to meet her in person. Confirm that you are ready to set out.
Dock infiltration
Leave the Afterlife club and open the trunk of Claire's car. Take the replica of Johnny Silverhand's jacket, which V will automatically wear. Sit in the passenger seat and travel to the dock in Northside in Watson. You can listen to the plan of action or you can express your readiness immediately. The game will fast-forward to the evening.
Getting through the docks by stealth is not obligatory, but it can make things much easier for you. If detected, expect a large group of Maelstrom gang members to join the fight, which may prove challenging if V's experience level is not high enough.
If you plan to remain undetected, start from following Rogue. She will lead V to a passageway, which will enable you to evade the guards by the entrance to the docks. It is good to have a weapon with a silencer and be ready to quickhack/switch off/quietly destroy security cameras.
Accessing Dataterm is your ultimate goal. The computer is located in the building to the right of the entrance to the docks. You can choose any path leading to this place. Fortunately, even if you are detected, you will not fail any of the mission objectives.
The building can be entered through several different entrances. Easier accessible entrances may require well-developed attributes (e.g. Technical Abilities), but you can also use the unsecured door from the picture above.
Dataterm is a computer terminal with which you need to interact. Most importantly, you must read the message that will direct the characters to the Ebunike ship moored at the docks. Reading the remaining emails, as well as the files stored on the computer, is optional.
Infiltration of Ebunike and confrontation with Grayson
The deck can be accessed via footbridges. Again, stealth is possible (although not required). It should be available even if you have been fighting in the docks before, because the docks and the ship are far away from each other.
You won't find Smasher on Ebunike. Instead, you will meet Grayson that has to be defeated. You have full freedom as far as tactics of fighting Grayson is concerned: you can immediately dive into a direct firefight or knock him out with a surprise attack. (e.g. with a sniper). Neutralize any other ordinary enemies on the ship.
Grayson won't die in the fight, because it's all about beating him up to question him. Start by taking away his iconic gun that once belonged to Johnny.
You can choose any dialogue options during the interrogation. The only important choice is the last one, as seen on the picture above. You can:
- Murder Grayson.
- Spare Grayson.
Porsche 911 Turbo - Johnny's free car
If you decide to spare Grayson, you'll receive an access card and information about a valuable gift stored in a container.
You can also obtain the access card by searching Grayson's corpse (if you decide to kill him), but there will be no prompt what the card is actually for.
Go to the ladder shown in the picture to reach the metal balcony. Climb to the top and use the crane mechanism. It will lower down the container.
You can now get off the ship and go to the container. Open it with the access card. There is a free car inside it - Porsche 911 Turbo, which once belonged to Johnny Silverhand and has Samurai symbols painted on it. Get inside the car to permanently add it to your garage.
Missing the opportunity to open the container will deprive you of the chance to obtain the Porsche 911. This car cannot be found or bought later!
Finding Johnny's grave in the oil fields
You can go to the oil fields with any vehicle - it does not have to be the Porsche 911 taken from the container in the port. The oil fields are in the northern part of the Badlands. The objective marker will lead you to the place where Johnny's body is said to have been buried. Talk to Johnny.
You can leave a symbol here, which is an important choice in your relationship with Johnny. If you want to unlock the Blistering Love concerned with Johnny and Rogue, do not choose an offensive inscription (e.g. about Johnny being a terrorist) or hostile/aggressive dialogue options. Choose some "positive" inscription to leave on the symbolic tombstone and friendly/positive dialogue options in the next part of the conversation with Johnny.
If you have behaved appropriately in the oil fields, Johnny will ask V to invite Rogue on a date on his behalf. However, this is a part of a new side job: Blistering Love.
