Old wounds in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is the fifth story mission of the Phantom Liberty add-on. To find Jay, Reed needs help: he will have to involve a former agent in the work, and then get into the lair of a blind but dangerous netrunner. The task is complicated by the fact that the building is well guarded, there are many guards around and cameras at every turn.
From the guide you will learn how to start the Old Wounds quest and talk to the guards, how to find the entrance to the ventilation shaft and find the Skater, and also how to destroy the central processor if you go through the quest from a position of brute force.

Walkthrough of the quest Old Wounds in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
The mission will begin after a conversation with Reed, who will inform you that another secret agent is needed to search for his friend. The man will ask to meet with Alex, the spy's former subordinate, to involve her in the case.
Enter the Moth bar
After sunset, head to the Shore Slums and visit the bar marked on the map. If you are too far away, use the fast travel function. To do this, go to the nearest teleporter and hold PKM on point "Cress Street".
From there, move about 200 meters west and you will reach the establishment. Open the door and go inside.
Sit at the bar, you can order if you wish, but you don’t have to drink anything. Answer the call and talk to Reed, who will warn that the agent may give him a cold shoulder because he doesn't know the whole truth.
When the partner arrives, the bartender will point the gun at Reed. You can knock out the cannon or just show the coin to calmly talk to Alex.
Go after the girl who will leave everyone and leave - you will find her at the railing outside. Get to know each other again and bring Alex up to speed. Finally, agree to cooperate with her and move away.
Return to the bar to talk to Reed and tell him that you were able to talk Alex into a deal. The three of you discuss the future plan of action.
Meet Reed near the Skater's hideout
Before leaving, talk to Johnny, who will be waiting on the stairs, and listen to his opinion about the situation 7 years ago.
Using the key "V" Call for transport and head to the unfinished spa, located 700 meters from the bar.
Sit on the bench to wait for Reed and talk to him. By the time the spy shows up, it will be completely dark.
Follow Reed inside the building, after which you can discuss possible options for meeting with the Skater. Total there is three forks, which affect the age, but are not reflected in rewards and endings:
- Try to negotiate with the guards (you will still have to fight or go stealth);
- Sneak through the ventilation shaft;
- Go ahead and fight the Voodooists.
Next, we will consider all the options in detail.
Talk to the guards
By choosing first peaceful path, open the door on the right and go out to the guards to try to negotiate. If earlier in the story Brigitte and Placida were saved, then an additional line will appear in the dialogue, by choosing which you can safely go inside. If the characters are killed, then it will not be possible to move forward without bloodshed - you will have to neutralize the guards and move ahead, or say that you are leaving and sneak through the ventilation shaft unnoticed.
Find the entrance to the ventilation shaft
Exit the room with the enemies and leave the building to get inside in another way - along the second fork. Climb onto the container and climb onto the concrete canopy.
Go through the hole behind the scaffolding on the right and go down to the door. From there, go up the steps to an open room leading to the mine.
Move straight along the tunnel, disarm the trap and open the exit.
Jump down and you'll enter a new room, through the door on the left. Don't get up to avoid being noticed by security. Using a button "TAB" use the scanner to cause problems with your enemies.
Do the same with cameras hanging from the ceiling. Be careful - if you are discovered, you will have to go to battle. Please note that your partner can also be declassified if he comes out into a visible place. Therefore, before each step, scan the space and eliminate all kinds of interference.
Destroy the U to disconnect the Voodooists from the Network
Third fork will open if you initially decided to go over their heads, or you were discovered after getting inside through the ventilation shaft. In this case, you will have to neutralize the guards and shoot at the central car at 4 different points.
Hit all the s placed on each side, otherwise the machines will not calm down.
How to find a Skater
Whatever fork you choose, the right person will sit in the same place. Keep to the right and reach the yellow stairs located on the second floor. Go down it and sneak to the wide, long corridor, which is clearly visible on the mini-map.
Along the way, collect valuable loot, and then go into the Voodooist's lair by opening the small grate near the floor. Next you just need to follow Reed. Have the Skater see who was entering the network traffic on the day of the crash and make a remote connection.
Confirm the data transfer and Jay. She will provide important information about Hansen's appointment and disconnect. The black barrier will kill the Skater, after which you can talk to Reed.
Leave the Voodoo hideout with Reed
Try to leave the building unnoticed so as not to waste time fighting. Remove obstacles from the path in advance using the scanner and move towards the quest marker. Otherwise, you can start a shootout and run straight to the exit. Along the way, do not forget to examine the bodies of the dead, take useful items and hack the terminalto steal money.
On the street you need to follow Reed and talk to him. Your partner will tell you where the Black Sapphire is, where a big dinner will take place.
This will complete the task, and you will gain access to the next story mission - "A hand washes a hand". To unlock it, you need to complete at least three orders for Mr. Hands:
- Out of sight, out of mind.
- Acrobatic stunts.
- The forest is being cut down and the chips are flying.
- Saints from Dog City.
