Starting the side quest and a message from Coach Fred

1. This side mission will start automatically as you explore the Dogtown district. You will learn that you have received a message from Coach Fred.
2. Open the phone and the message should be at the top of the list. Reply to Fred's message. He will send you to a boxing ring.

Betting on the fight and meeting with Aaron

1. A bookmaker is standing next to the boxing ring. You can optionally bet 100 Eurodollars on the fight - we recommend betting on Aaron winning.
2. After the fight is over, talk to Aaron and promise to help him. You must meet him at the entrance to Dog Eat Dog - it is in the southwestern part of the district. When you get there, sit down on a bench to wait for Aaron.

Reaching Damir's clinic with Aaron

1. Follow Aaron. On the way, you can talk to him again - you will learn about the problem with Angie and his desire to get rid of the chip.
2. A group of thugs is staying at the clinic and the next mission objective will be to eliminate them all. You can attack them right away, hack or use stealth.
3. There are also trap-mines near the clinic (example in the picture) - avoid the red beams or disarm the mines (requires 7 points in Technical Ability attribute).

1. The clinic has a main entrance, an upper entrance and a side door that must be forcibly opened (12 points in Body required).
2. You will also find an alarm you can disarm. You can use your skill (you need 12 points in Intelligence) or enter the code 4300 written above the box (picture).
3. There are cameras and an autonomous turret in the clinic area - if you have hacking skills it's worth taking it over and using it to defeat enemies more easily (or blow it up).

Meeting with Damir

1. After getting rid of all enemies, resume exploration of the clinic with Aaron. The mission objective marker will lead you to the upper room where Damir is. Aaron will force him to remove the chip.
2. Sit in a wheelchair and wait for the end of the operation. You will learn that Damir merely deactivated the chip. Your reaction doesn't matter.

Confrontation with Angie

Angie will show up at the clinic and this can go in 2 ways:

1. Attack Angie and the Animals- You can attack her right away, or you can refuse after hearing her proposal. Deal with all enemies and check Angie's corpse - she will leave behind the iconic Cheetah gun.
2. After the fight, talk to Aaron and leave the clinic.

1. Getting along with Angie - You must agree to let Aaron continue to fight for her. At the end of the conversation, agree to her proposal (the first dialogue option in the picture).

Waiting for Angie to contact you

1. This mission objective will only unlock if you made a deal with Angie during the meeting at the clinic. Leave the building.
2. You have to wait a few days to hear from Angie. If you are impatient, use the option to wait or go to a bed a few times in a row.

1. The woman will ask V to meet at the boxing ring - the same one where you met Aaron at the beginning of the quest.
2. You can accept the Eddies right away or try to get Angie to take out Aaron's chip. Even if you choose the second option you will still receive Eurodollars from her. Angie will promise you to think about Aaron's situation.
