Key takeaways

The mission is primarily an escorted escape and story setup rather than a standalone boss encounter.

  • Stay with the objective President Myers is central to the mission's progression. Follow the marked route and avoid leaving the immediate area for optional exploration while the escort is active.
  • Expect resistance on the route Hostile encounters can interrupt movement through Dogtown. Use cover, clear threats around the objective, and avoid advancing so far that Myers is left exposed.
  • The mission establishes the next lead The search for Solomon Reed gives the mission its larger purpose. The final stages shift attention from simply surviving the opening crisis to preparing the operation that follows.
  • Dialogue is part of the setup Conversations with President Myers and the people connected to the operation provide context for the mission chain. Letting scenes and exchanges play out helps preserve the intended narrative flow.

Lucretia My Reflection overview

Lucretia My Reflection is an early Phantom Liberty main mission focused on , V's attempt to get her out of immediate danger, and the search for Solomon Reed in Dogtown.

The mission follows the opening events of Phantom Liberty and establishes the practical stakes of V's involvement in Dogtown. Rather than treating the district as a simple combat zone, it places V in the position of escorting a high-value political figure through an unstable area while hostile forces and local conditions make a safe extraction difficult.

Much of the mission's tension comes from movement and protection rather than a single elaborate puzzle. V must keep progressing through Dogtown, respond to resistance along the route, and make sure President Myers reaches the next secure point. Players who rush ahead can separate themselves from the objective or miss contextual dialogue, so staying near the mission route is generally safer than freely exploring during the escort.

The mission also begins the effort to locate Solomon Reed, a former FIA operative whose involvement becomes important to the operation. Its conclusion moves the story from immediate survival toward planning and recruitment, making Lucretia My Reflection a narrative bridge between the opening rescue and the wider Phantom Liberty campaign.

Requirements

Lucretia My Reflection is part of the opening sequence and is reached through the expansion's main-story progression.

  • RequiredAccess to Phantom LibertyThe mission belongs to the Phantom Liberty campaign and is not part of the base game's ordinary main-job sequence.
  • RequiredComplete Dog Eat DogThe mission follows the expansion's introductory arrival in Dogtown. If it has not appeared, continue the Phantom Liberty opening rather than searching for a separate side-job trigger.
  • RecommendedA combat-ready buildThe route includes hostile resistance, so weapons, healing, cyberware and ammunition appropriate to the current character build are recommended.

Objectives

  3. Get President Myers to safetyContinue through the designated escape route and remain attentive to objective updates during transitions between areas.
  4. Contact or locate Solomon ReedThe closing portion of the mission turns the rescue into an operation to find Reed and secure his involvement.

Walkthrough

  1. 01

    Reach the mission area

    Follow the route into Dogtown

    Begin by following the active mission marker through Dogtown rather than detouring into unrelated streets. The opening route is designed to move V toward the emergency involving President Myers, and leaving it can delay the next objective without providing a useful advantage.

    Location: Dogtown

    TipKeep the mission marker active and use cover when the route opens into exposed streets.

  2. 02

    Reach President Myers

    Find President Myers

    Continue toward the marked location and search the immediate objective area for President Myers. Once the encounter begins, stay close enough for the mission dialogue and escort state to advance instead of moving on ahead.

    Location: Dogtown

    Watch outDo not treat the first contact as a normal free-roam encounter; wait for the objective and conversation to update before leaving the area.

  3. 03

    Protect President Myers

    Secure the area around Myers

    Hostile resistance can interrupt the rescue, so identify threats around the objective and eliminate the enemies preventing movement. Use nearby cover and avoid firing through Myers or advancing into a new section before the current area is under control.

    Location: Dogtown

    TipPrioritize enemies who have a clear line of sight to the escort route, then reposition with Myers rather than remaining fixed in the first piece of cover.

  4. 04

    Escort President Myers

    Move with President Myers

    Follow Myers through the designated route and allow her movement to set the pace. The mission advances through escorted transitions, so running far ahead can place V outside the intended encounter space and make it harder to see the next objective.

    Location: Dogtown escape route

    Watch outIf Myers is left behind or the player moves too far from the active objective, return to her position instead of pushing deeper into Dogtown.

  5. 05

    Keep the route open

    Clear further resistance

    When another hostile group blocks progress, fight from cover and check the route after the immediate threat is gone. Do not assume that defeating one visible enemy completes the section; look for remaining opponents near entrances, elevated positions or the next objective marker.

    Location: Dogtown

    TipUse quickhacks, grenades or other area-control tools to break up enemies before returning to the escort.

  6. 06

    Get President Myers to safety

    Reach the safe location

    Continue along the marked path with Myers until the mission places her in a more secure position. The important requirement is to remain with the escort through the transition, because the next conversation and objective are triggered by reaching the designated destination.

    Location: Dogtown safe area

    Checkpoint
  7. 07

    Learn what comes next

    Speak with the operation's contacts

    After the immediate danger has eased, follow the dialogue prompts and listen to the discussion about the next stage of the operation. This section changes the mission from a rescue into an effort to find Solomon Reed, so do not leave before the objective updates.

    Location: Safe area in Dogtown

    TipAllow the conversation to finish if you want the mission context and next lead to remain clear.

  8. 08

    Find Solomon Reed

    Pursue the lead on Solomon Reed

    Follow the updated marker and use the mission's directed route to continue the search for Solomon Reed. This is a story transition rather than a collectible sweep, so complete the active objective before returning to optional exploration.

    Location: Dogtown

    Checkpoint
  9. 09

    Finish Lucretia My Reflection

    Complete the mission handoff

    Finish the final interaction and any remaining directed movement to close Lucretia My Reflection. The completion state advances Phantom Liberty into the next stage of its recruitment and operational storyline.

    Location: Dogtown

    Watch outOnce the final objective is complete, later missions and conversations may become available; review the journal before fast-travelling away.

Mission mechanics

The mission's core mechanic is an escorted objective. President Myers is not simply a destination marker: her position and the current mission state determine when the route can progress. Players should move at a controlled pace, clear immediate threats, and return to the objective if the next instruction does not appear.

Combat is flexible and supports the normal Cyberpunk 2077 toolkit. Stealth, firearms, quickhacks and close-range builds can all be used to handle resistance, but the safest general approach is to fight from positions that keep the route visible. Excessive forward movement can pull V away from the escort and obscure which enemies are part of the current encounter.

The mission also uses dialogue and location transitions to establish the broader Phantom Liberty operation. Optional exploration is better saved for after the active escort and conversation sequences have concluded, because the mission's pacing depends on staying within the designated area and allowing the next story trigger to occur.

What works and what does not

Strengths

  • Provides a clear transition from Phantom Liberty's opening into its central espionage storyline.
  • Uses Dogtown's hostile environment to make the rescue feel immediate without requiring a dedicated boss fight.
  • Lets different Cyberpunk 2077 combat and stealth builds handle the route's resistance.
  • Introduces the search for Solomon Reed through mission progression rather than an isolated side activity.

Weaknesses

  • The escort structure can feel restrictive to players who want to explore Dogtown immediately.
  • Some progress depends on staying near the objective and allowing dialogue or movement triggers to complete.
  • The mission's combat encounters are primarily support for the story rather than a distinct mechanical set piece.

Best uses

  • Play it as a focused story mission before beginning extensive Dogtown exploration.
  • Use it to test a new Phantom Liberty build against ordinary hostile encounters.
  • Pause after completion to review the journal and identify the next main-story objective.

Phases

  1. 1

    Approach and contact

    Starts: Reaching the marked area during the opening route

    V moves through Dogtown toward President Myers and enters the mission's rescue sequence.

    • Follow the active marker and keep healing resources available before the first engagement.
  2. 2

    Escort under pressure

    Starts: President Myers begins moving through Dogtown

    V protects Myers while hostile resistance interrupts the route.

    • Ranged pressureTell Enemies establish lines of fire around the route.Answer Use hard cover, break sightlines and remove exposed threats before moving the escort forward.
    • Close-range pushTell Hostiles attempt to compress the space around V and Myers.Answer Create distance or use crowd-control tools, then regroup at the objective rather than chasing stragglers.
    • Keep the escort route visible and avoid advancing into the next area alone.
    • If the objective stops progressing, return to Myers and clear enemies near the active marker.
  3. 3

    Safe-area transition

    Starts: Reaching the designated secure location

    The immediate rescue gives way to dialogue and the next operational lead.

    • Remain in the objective area until the conversation and journal update are complete.

Checklist

  • Enter Dogtown through the active Phantom Liberty objectiveThe mission is tied to the expansion's directed opening progression.
  • Reach President MyersDo not leave the initial objective area before contact and dialogue advance.
  • Protect Myers through every active combat sectionClear immediate threats before pushing the escort farther.
  • Stay with the escort routeExploration is safer after the mission's directed sections are finished.
  • Complete the safe-area conversationThe discussion establishes the next lead in the operation.
  • Follow the Solomon Reed objectiveFinish the mission handoff so the next story content can become available.
  • Review the journal after completionUse the updated mission list to identify the next Phantom Liberty objective.

Failure conditions

  • President Myers is incapacitatedThe escort objective can fail if the protected character is defeated. Use cover and remove threats with clear access to her position.
  • V moves too far from the active objectiveLeaving the directed area may interrupt escort progression or cause the player to miss the next trigger. Return to the mission marker and Myers if the route does not update.
  • V dies during a hostile encounterA normal player death reloads the latest checkpoint or save. Keep healing and defensive tools ready before entering exposed sections.

On failure

Checkpoint placement can vary with the player's progress and platform state. Save before beginning the mission if you want a clean fallback.

AftermathSpoilers

The rescue becomes an operation

Completing Lucretia My Reflection shifts the focus away from the immediate effort to keep President Myers alive. The mission establishes Solomon Reed as the next essential lead and points V toward the wider intelligence operation at the heart of Phantom Liberty.

Trivia

  • The mission title is drawn from the song title “Lucretia My Reflection” by The Sisters of Mercy, consistent with Cyberpunk 2077's use of music-related mission names.
  • Lucretia My Reflection is designed as a narrative continuation of the Phantom Liberty opening rather than as a freely chosen side activity.
  • The mission's main dramatic problem is protecting a political principal in Dogtown, which gives the early expansion sequence an escort-focused structure.
