First off, you have to enter the hole in the wall to your left, at the end of the corridor you wake up in. It's mildly hidden but it will be in the room to your left.

Next proceed forward through it to find the stairwell you entered from. Simply go up the way you did and find the same apartment you knocked on. There will be a handful of enemies shooting at Takemura who will be inside. Once you rescue him, simply exit the building to continue.

FAQs

Should I let Takemura do reconnaissance? ›

Gimme Danger: Reconnaissance With Takemura

Doing so gives V information about the building's weak points, and allows them to have a deep conversation with Takemura that will cement their friendship. This has a significant impact on future dialogue choices in the game and can affect one of the endings.

Should I reset or destroy Delamain Core? ›

Reset the core to restore the original Delamain - If you reset Delamian, you'll destroy all of his alt personalities and return him to factory settings. He'll forget everything you've experienced with him so far, but he does gift you a car from the Delamain fleet.

Does saving Takemura affect the ending? ›

It really only affects the ending known as 'the Devil' since he will be the one there to speak to you. Otherwise, he just has messages to V during the end credits. Takemura won't show up unless you deliberately choose to take Hanako's offer. It's good to have him with you, so I would say you should save him.

What should you say to Hanako? ›

Talk to Hanako

The conversation that follows with Hanako has no effect or consequences on the ending of the game, so you are free to choose your responses as you please. As the Relic begins to malfunction, end your conversation with Hanako and leave Embers via the same elevator you used to enter the restaurant.

Should you spare Oda or not? ›

That being said, there's basically no benefit to killing Oda, as you don't get any kind of reward for finishing him off. However, if you decide to spare his life, the iconic Jinchu-Maru katana can be looted from his body.

Why does Takemura hate you at the end? ›

Takemura calls V and is furious for betraying him, telling them to "rot in hell". It is implied that he is about to commit seppuku. Save Takemura in Search and Destroy and choose out of The Sun, The Star or Temperance endings.

Can you get the devil without saving Takemura? ›

If you did not save Takemura, even if you later side with Arasaka, this achievement will not unlock.

Did Takemura commit seppuku? ›

Takemura Sadanoshin is a Noh play actor in the play, who had to commit seppuku because of the disgrace by his daughter Shigenoi. Sharaku produced nine -O-ban prints about the play. Toshusai Sharaku ga, the signature, and the seals of publisher Tsutaya at left.

Is there a benefit to saving Takemura? ›

It doesn't offer any real benefit or loss. It is more who you will interact with.

How to let V keep his body? ›

Whether V gets his body back or not, is actually your choice. When Alt gives you the choice, you can either have V keep his body or give Johnny the body. All depends on whether you step into the well to keep the body, or cross the bridge to join Alt.

Should I trust Johnny or Hanako? ›

Hanako's offer to help remove the Relic from V's brain seems to be the safest option to save the main character's life and she seems like a trustworthy character.

Do I let Johnny take over? ›

If you let Johnny take your body, he'll return to Earth and you'll be able to explore a few last mini-quests with him as V. He will too eventually leave Night City in search of his own fresh start though. It's another good option for those looking for some resolution.

Should I save Takemura search and destroy? ›

Not saving him is the better option, but saving him is the better way if you want that ending. If you play the Devil ending. Saving him is the best. It doesn't offer any real benefit or loss.

How long does it take for Takemura to finish his reconnaissance? ›

Once you install the hack onto the float, climb up the nearby boxes to get to the roof and out of the area to complete the quest. Wait a day for Takemura to finish his reconnaissance.

What happens if you don t rescue Takemura? ›

If you decide to leave Takemura, he won't play a part in the story anymore, but if you choose to save him, he'll show up during the epilogue of the Hanako-related ending. There will be a fast-forward sequence and you'll reappear with Johnny in a far away motel, hiding from Arasaka until a stranger knocks on your door.

Is Takemura a good guy in cyberpunk? ›

Overall, Takemura is supposed to be a character who genuinely believes that what he is doing for Arasaka is the right thing to do.
