You Know My Name

Key takeaways

These points explain the mission’s structure before the walkthrough begins.

• Treat the opening as an infiltration The route through the maintenance access and the first approach to the Black Sapphire reward patience. Keep weapons and quickhacks ready, but do not assume that every guard must be attacked immediately.
• Overwatch is a separate mission phase V’s sniper position lets the player observe and support Reed and Alex from a distance. Follow the team’s movement and use the available view to identify threats rather than firing whenever a hostile appears.
• The casino is not a normal combat arena After entering the Black Sapphire, V moves through a public event filled with civilians and important guests. The safest approach is to follow the objective markers, avoid unnecessary aggression, and reserve combat for the extraction.
• The extraction changes the pace The final section is more dangerous than the initial approach because the operation is no longer concealed. Preserve healing resources and ammunition before the team leaves the casino.

You Know My Name overview

You Know My Name is a major Phantom Liberty mission built around a covert assault on the Black Sapphire, Kurt Hansen’s heavily guarded stronghold in Dogtown.

The mission begins after the events of Get It Together, when Solomon Reed’s plan requires V to enter the Black Sapphire and help reach Songbird. Rather than presenting the operation as a straightforward firefight, the opening emphasizes infiltration, timing, surveillance, and coordination between V, Reed, and Alex. The route into the compound passes through a flooded maintenance area before the team separates to approach the casino from different angles.

A substantial portion of the operation is played from overwatch. V takes a sniper position and supports Reed and Alex as they move through the Black Sapphire’s guarded exterior and interior spaces. The objective is not simply to eliminate every hostile in sight: observation, target identification, and waiting for the team to create an opening are central to keeping the infiltration under control. Players who rush the sequence can turn a quiet approach into a much more difficult combat encounter.

Once inside the casino, the mission shifts from tactical infiltration to social stealth. V must move through a crowded event, locate Songbird, and remain alert while powerful figures and security forces occupy the same space. The mission’s later escape section converts the operation into a direct extraction, and its conclusion sets up the next stage of the Phantom Liberty storyline without resolving every conflict surrounding Songbird, Reed, and Hansen.

• RequiredReach the mission start promptThe operation becomes available through the Phantom Liberty story progression rather than through a separate side activity.
• RecommendedPrepare a flexible loadoutA suppressed weapon, a reliable close-range option, healing items, and quickhacks are useful because the mission moves between stealth, overwatch, and open combat.
• OptionalMake a manual save before entering the compoundA separate save is helpful if you want to test different approaches during the infiltration and extraction.

WalkthroughSpoilers

1. 01

   Reach the Black Sapphire

   Meet Reed and Alex at the Black Sapphire

   Follow the mission route through Dogtown until you reach the staging area outside the Black Sapphire. Listen to Reed’s instructions before moving on, because the operation depends on V, Reed, and Alex approaching from coordinated positions.

   Location: Black Sapphire approach

   TipEquip the loadout you want before entering the compound; the mission soon moves into a restricted area with limited opportunities to reorganize.

2. 02

   Infiltrate the Black Sapphire

   Enter through the maintenance route

   Use the designated access path rather than attempting to force your way through the main casino entrance. The flooded maintenance section is a compact infiltration area, so check corners, watch for security, and keep the objective marker in view when the route branches.

   Location: Flooded maintenance access

   Watch outAn alarm or firefight can make the approach much louder, but the mission can still continue as long as V reaches the required objective.

3. 03

   Provide overwatch for Reed and Alex

   Reach the overwatch position

   Continue through the access route until the mission directs V to take a sniper position overlooking the operation. The elevated viewpoint is part of the planned sequence, so do not leave it immediately in search of another entrance.

   Location: Overwatch position outside the Black Sapphire

   TipUse the scope to survey the area before firing. Marking or identifying threats first makes it easier to understand which guards are actually blocking Reed and Alex.

4. 04

   Provide overwatch for Reed and Alex

   Guide Reed and Alex through the approach

   Track Reed and Alex as they move toward the Black Sapphire and wait for the mission prompts that indicate when support is needed. Deal with guards only when they threaten the team or when the game presents the shot as part of the operation; unnecessary shots can expose the infiltration.

   Location: Exterior security perimeter

   Watch outDo not treat the overwatch section as a target-shooting challenge. The team’s position and the current objective matter more than clearing every visible enemy.

5. 05

   Infiltrate the Black Sapphire

   Leave the sniper position and enter the casino

   After the team has advanced, descend from the overwatch area and regroup through the route into the Black Sapphire. Follow the objective through security-controlled corridors and avoid wandering into restricted areas unless the mission directs you there.

   Location: Black Sapphire interior

   TipThis is a good point to reload, restore health, and switch from a long-range weapon to the tools you prefer for close quarters.

6. 06

   Find Songbird

   Move through the Black Sapphire event

   Proceed through the public casino space toward the mission marker while keeping V’s weapons lowered when possible. The room is crowded and the objective is investigative rather than a requirement to eliminate the guests or guards.

   Location: Black Sapphire casino and event area

   Watch outStarting a fight in the middle of the event can create crossfire with civilians and security. Stay on the intended route unless the mission has clearly changed into combat.

7. 07

   Find Songbird

   Locate Songbird among the guests

   Use the objective marker and surrounding dialogue to identify Songbird’s position in the event. Once V has found her, follow the conversation and do not leave the area before the mission updates, because the extraction plan depends on the team regrouping.

   Location: Black Sapphire event area

8. 08

   Extract Songbird from the Black Sapphire

   Follow the extraction plan

   After Songbird is located, stay with the group and follow the route out of the casino. The mission’s tone changes here: the quiet search gives way to a more urgent movement through the Black Sapphire, so avoid getting distracted by side rooms or optional exploration.

   Location: Black Sapphire interior

   TipKeep a shotgun, submachine gun, or other dependable close-range weapon ready if your build allows it; the escape is less forgiving than the social section.

9. 09

   Extract Songbird from the Black Sapphire

   Fight through the response from Hansen’s forces

   When the extraction becomes hostile, advance from cover to cover and prioritize enemies who block the route or pressure the team. Use the casino’s walls, columns, and doorways to break lines of sight instead of standing in the open and trading damage.

   Location: Black Sapphire escape route

   Watch outThe mission can fail if V dies during the escape. Healing before pushing into a new room is safer than waiting until health is critically low.

10. 10

    Complete the extraction

    Leave the Black Sapphire

    Continue following Reed and Alex through the designated exit until V and Songbird are clear of the compound. Once the escape sequence ends, remain available for the concluding dialogue because it establishes the next stage of the Phantom Liberty storyline.

    Location: Black Sapphire exterior and escape route

Mission mechanics

You Know My Name alternates between three kinds of play. The maintenance approach is a conventional stealth section with enclosed routes and guards; the overwatch section temporarily turns V into a support sniper; and the casino section asks the player to navigate a public gathering without immediately resorting to violence. The mission is most readable when these phases are treated as different problems rather than one continuous combat arena.

The overwatch section is especially important because it changes how objectives are communicated. V is not simply clearing a shooting gallery from a high ledge: Reed and Alex are moving on the ground, and the player must judge when intervention is useful. If a shot is not clearly needed, waiting preserves the team’s concealment and prevents the player from losing track of the operation.

Inside the Black Sapphire, the presence of civilians and guests changes the risk of aggressive play. Follow the route shown by the objective marker, keep attention on dialogue and staging, and avoid exploring locked or restricted areas while the mission is still presenting itself as a social infiltration. The later escape provides the appropriate opportunity for direct combat.

Build choice affects the feel of the mission without changing its central objectives. Stealth-focused V can preserve the covert tone for longer, a netrunner can disable or distract threats from cover, and a combat-focused V can survive the exposed extraction more comfortably. No single build is required, but every approach benefits from a reliable ranged option and a way to recover health during the final push.

What works and what does not

Phases

1. 1

   Maintenance approach

   Starts: Entering the access route beneath the Black Sapphire

   V advances through a restricted maintenance area while the team prepares the compound infiltration.

   • Close-quarters guard patrolsTell Hostiles are positioned around the enclosed route and can detect V at short range.Answer Use cover, corners, distractions, or quiet takedowns rather than sprinting through the passage.
   • Keep the objective marker visible when the route becomes difficult to read.
   • Avoid spending all healing items before the extraction.
2. 2

   Overwatch support

   Starts: Taking the designated sniper position

   V watches Reed and Alex from above and supports their movement toward the Black Sapphire.

   • Exterior securityTell Guards patrol the approach and become relevant when they threaten the advancing team.Answer Observe first and fire only when the operation calls for support or a hostile is about to expose the team.
   • Use the scope to understand patrol movement before taking a shot.
   • Do not abandon the overwatch position until the objective updates.
3. 3

   Casino infiltration

   Starts: Entering the Black Sapphire event

   V moves through the casino and searches for Songbird in a crowded public setting.

   • Keep weapons lowered where possible and follow the marked route.
   • Avoid turning the public event into a fight unless the mission has clearly moved to extraction.
4. 4

   Black Sapphire extraction

   Starts: Songbird is located and the team begins leaving

   The operation loses its covert character and V must fight or evade Hansen’s forces while following the escape route.

   • Security responseTell Hostiles pressure the team during the withdrawal and can attack from corridors and open interior spaces.Answer Advance between cover points, prioritize enemies blocking the route, and heal before entering the next exposed area.
   • Reload before pushing through a doorway.
   • Stay with the mission group so the objective does not stall while V explores.

Choices and consequencesSpoilers

• Use a restrained approach during the infiltration

  The opening and casino sections remain closer to the intended covert operation, reducing unnecessary combat before the extraction.

• Open fire during the infiltration or event

  The mission can become a direct combat sequence, increasing pressure from security while still directing V toward the same central objectives.

• Prioritize the extraction route after finding Songbird

  V stays aligned with Reed and Alex and reaches the mission’s concluding sequence without losing time to optional exploration.

Checklist

• Complete Get It Together before starting the operation.The mission follows the Phantom Liberty story progression.
• Meet Reed and Alex at the Black Sapphire approach.This begins the infiltration.
• Use the maintenance access route.The main operation does not begin through the public entrance.

• Leave the compound and complete the concluding dialogue.The ending advances the next Phantom Liberty story beat.

Failure conditions

• V diesAs with other combat sections, death during the infiltration or extraction reloads the latest checkpoint or save.
• The operation is exposedAttacking too early can trigger a broader security response and make the approach more dangerous, although it does not normally end the mission by itself.
• V falls behind the objective routeLeaving the active operation to explore can pause progress until V returns to the marked area or rejoins the team.

AftermathSpoilers

Trivia

• The mission’s title echoes the famous English-language song title “You Know My Name,” but the mission itself uses the title as part of its spy-thriller framing.
• The Black Sapphire operation is one of Phantom Liberty’s clearest shifts between stealth gameplay, long-range support, social infiltration, and escape combat.
• The casino event gives the mission a different atmosphere from Dogtown’s usual street fights and industrial combat zones.
