Cyberpunk 2077 has a lot of quests in it that have several outcomes, and the quest Second Conflict is no different — although most of the changes in this quest are not because of what you choose to do here, but what you have chosen to do in the past. However, one key decision comes at the end, and will impact how Johnny's questline plays out: Should you choose Denny or Henry?
We've spoken about the quest The Pickup at length, with both a full guide to all outcomes and details on how to save Brick and these decisions will drastically change how this mission plays out. The Pickup is a fairly early story mission, so it's too late to change the outcome at this point in the game, but if you ever decide to play the game once more it's good to keep in mind these decisions and take a look at our guides, so you make the right decision. Now that's out of the way, read below for everything you need to know to make the correct decisions in this guide.
Updated June 22, 2022 by Henry Moore: A key aspect of this quest is the decision at the end, should you choose Denny or Henry? Both are close friends from Johnny's past, and both feel that they should be the one to join the band's reunion. But you can only choose one, so who will you pick in Cyberpunk 2077, Henry or Denny?
Completing Second Conflict With Brick In Cyberpunk 2077
Before you reach the key choice in this quest, you will need to find Nancy, who is at this point engaging in some investigative journalism with the gang maelstrom. This will play out differently depending on how you acted in a previous story mission.
Second Conflict is a later part in Johnny Silverhand's questline, many of the side jobs related to Johnny will see you collect a piece of his clothing or equipment. Each piece you own boosts your connection to him
If you managed to follow our guide to saving Brick, then this quest will go very easily indeed. Brick will be present on-site, and his gratitude towards you for saving his life in The Pickup will lead him to help you with whatever you need, ensuring that you're able to walk away from this quest peacefully.
If you angered Maelstrom early in the game's main story, this quest may get violent very quickly
Completing Second Conflict With Patricia In Cyberpunk 2077
If The Pickup went badly and both the Maelstrom crew and Brick don't make it out alive, then you'll be welcomed by Patricia. Unfortunately, Patricia isn't the best host, and meeting with her will guarantee that combat starts in this quest. If you meet up with Patricia, just be prepared to shoot your way out of the building after the meeting is done.
Completing Second Conflict With Dum Dum And Royce In Cyberpunk 2077
If you happen to be with Dum Dum and Royce, then the most interesting outcome plays out. In this eventuality, you will be able to acquire the information you need from Nancy, but getting out of the building will be more complicated. Yes, you can shoot your way out, like in Patricia's outcome, but you are also given the opportunity to sneak out.
If you are trying to escape silently, use the window in the bathroom area, sneak around the building, and then stick to the right wall to eventually be brought all the way around to the elevator - watch for multiple enemies on the way.
Completing second conflict will help unlock a quest named "Killing in the name" - this is a side job you complete with Royce
Should You Choose Denny or Henry And What It Changes In Cyberpunk 2077
Once everything is said and done you'll leave the area with Nancy before heading to Denny's mansion. You're looking for Denny and Henry - scan for tire tracks, and you'll be able to find them at the back of the building, arguing.
While this quest does not have a big impact on the game's ending, completing Johnny's questline will increase your connection, possibly unlocking the secret ending
Only one of them will appear at the concert they're arguing about, and your dialogue choices will be what makes the decision. Nothing really changes past this, so just pick whomever you deem to be most deserving.
Denny claims that Henry is a drunk and will ruin the gig, just as he did her garden. Meanwhile, Henry claims that Denny is stuck up and should learn to have more fun. Whichever you pick will not deeply affect the questline, but you should choose the character you feel is in the right.
