Talent Academy is a Gig in Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC that sends players to a sports facility in Dogtown. Upon arriving at this unique location, fans can take a couple approaches to completing the task at hand, and they will be required to make a choice as the gig nears its end. This guide is here to provide more details on those aspects of Cyberpunk 2077's Gig: Talent Academy, and it should make it easy for fans to resolve this optional mission.
Cyberpunk 2077: Gig Talent Academy Guide
Meet with Hands' Contact & Enter the Exhibition Hall
After initiating the Talent Academy gig, players should travel to the waypoint in southeast Dogtown and speak with Hands' contact. This conversation will provide the context for the mission, and fans should use the nearby elevator to travel to the exhibition hall when it concludes.
Find Fiona's Office
Upon entering the exhibition hall, Cyberpunk 2077 players will be instructed to find Fiona's office, and this task can be completed with either stealth or combat. Here are details on how to pursue those distinct options, and fans should simply select the approach that they find most interesting:
- Stealth
Players that want to use stealth should begin by sitting at the open bar stool and speaking with the exhibition hall's bartender. In this conversation, players should indicate that the team that they work for is none of the bartender's business and then wait for the nearby glass pane to break. This distraction will give players the opportunity to pass through one of the "Personnel Only" doors, and they should start sneaking their way to the southeast corner of the restricted area.
The goal is now to pass through the door in the southeast corner in order to access Sports Medicine. The problem is that this door is closed, and players must have a sufficient Technical Ability or use a nearby computer to get it open. For those fans that do need the help of the computer, it can be accessed by following these steps:
- Turn V's back to the closed door and walk forward.
- Turn left into the area with the couch, and use a quickhack to open the shutters in the back-left corner.
- Jump through the opening.
Players should now descend the stairs that are beyond the door that they have just opened and continue sneaking in a northwesterly direction. Fans that travel in that direction will soon reach the Dormitory door, and the path that is beyond it will lead them directly to Fiona's office.
- Combat
Players that are happy to shoot their way into Fiona's office should feel free to pass through a "Personnel Only" door without any distraction. These fans should then pull out their favorite Cyberpunk 2077 weapons and slay their way through the aforementioned Sports Medicine and Dormitory areas. Players can also tell the bartender that they work for the Shredders in order to prompt a line of questioning that will ultimately lead to this massacre.
Fiona's Office
Regardless of how the player chooses to reach Fiona's office, they can speak with a child and start stealing data from her terminal upon arrival. This second action will prompt a confrontation with Fiona that leads to this Phantom Liberty DLC gig's primary choice.
Cyberpunk 2077: Should You Accept Fiona's Offer or Not
More specifically, fans must either accept Fiona's offer of a "controlled leak," which will protect her most valuable clients, or refuse it and download all the data. While some players may agonize over this decision, it is really just an opportunity to roleplay. Indeed, there is no gameplay advantage associated with either of the options, and fans should thus feel free to select the choice that sits best with their imagining of Cyberpunk 2077's V.
For those players that are moved by Fiona's speech, which centers around how a full leak could impact her young athletes, that may mean accepting the offer. On the flip side, fans that feel particularly loyal to their client and fixer in Cyberpunk 2077, or find Fiona's operation problematic, may opt to refuse. Notably, fans that go for this second option will be under assault upon exiting the facility, though they should have little trouble dispatching their assailants.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
