Spider and the Fly Walkthrough - Cyberpunk 2077 Guide - IGN (2024)

This is the walkthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty's Spider and the Fly, the third mission in the expansion. You managed to get the NUSA president out of immediate danger, but her safety is far from secure.

Hansen's men are honed in on getting rid of Myers, so get her out of the wreckage and regroup with Songbird as fast as you can.

After clearing the areas of the incoming attackers during the end of Hole in the Sky, return to Myers and escort her safely out of the wreckage.

Midway through, Myers will ask you to remove the subdermal tracker implanted in her neck.

• Do it in time before the scout drone sees you.

The next elevator will lead you to the restaurant—but it is not powered, so you'll need to override the generator to turn it back on.

The generator is located in the room adjacent to the left of the elevator, but unless you have Body Level 15 to force open the door, you'll need to go down the scaffolding outside of the hallway and enter the room from below.

There will be a drone out the restaurant windows hunting for you. You'll need to sabotage the access point so Songbird can distract it.

• Use your minimap to indicate the Drone's location while you sneak your way to the access point.

The next room will contain several soldiers guarding the exit; you can go guns blazing or take them out individually.

The best path for the stealth option is to head right and take out the two on the highest platform.

• Then, go down the stairs, crouch past the soldier by the vending machines, and kill the one inside the small room.
• Get rid of the last soldier outside and circle the building to escape.

You can also use the BARGHEST car to get to the building on Elizabeth Kress Street quickly. However, using their vehicle won't camouflage you from the patrolling BARGHEST soldiers around Dogtown, but it will allow you to get to the next objective much faster.

Once you reach the parking lot, take the elevator up and talk to Myers inside the museum when prompted.

There are two doors on each side of the elevated platforms in the lobby that you can access with either Body Level 15 or Technical Ability Level 15. Each room contains several items in various rarities.

• You can't access these rooms once you get inside the exhibit room.

Be sure to explore this central room to grab ammo and other loot, as interacting with the elevator button will initiate the following combat sequence.

You'll need to fight off Hansen's soldiers to buy time for Songbird to take control of the Chimera in the middle of the room.

• It's best to stay and fight the enemies near the elevator, as many of them will take cover on the second floor.

With the controlled Chimera, Songbird will eliminate the rest of the Barghest Soldiers before losing control of the mech.

Chimera Boss Fight

The first boss fight of Phantom Liberty will put you against the same mech that helped you wipe dozens of Hansen's men.

The Chimera fight is split into three phases.

The first phase requires you to focus on destroying the exposed bits of its armor. There are several around its legs and a few around its head.

• Range builds can quickly shoot these exposed areas from the second-floor platforms for safety; just be wary of the missiles and especially the laser beam covering the entire boss arena.
• For melee builds, it's best to go for the weak points on its legs, as they are easier to reach with your weapon.
• If you have a Berserk or Sandevistan OS, dropping the boss to its second phase will be short work.

Once you drop the Chimera to around 70% health, the support and repair drones will spawn to aid the boss.

• Focus on destroying the repair drones first and then the support drones. Getting rid of the former will immediately start the third phase.
• Be careful of its laser beam attack. This move will cover the entire boss arena, but the Chimera will aim only at the ground floor or the second floor, never both simultaneously.

Chimera's third phase is relatively straightforward, as you can damage any part of its armor without resistance.

• At around 5% health, it will unleash a cloud of toxic gas on the first floor; this move does a ton of damage, so you'll want to go up to the second-floor platform as that's the only way of dodging it.

Once the boss reaches 2%, you'll want to jump onto the Chimera and finish it by pressing on the prompt.

Before leaving the area, be sure to pick up the Chimera's core on the floor.
