Cyberpunk 2077: Heroes walkthrough Cyberpunk 2077 guide, walkthrough
Last update: 23 December 2020
On this page of our guide for Cyberpunk 2077 you will find a walkthrough for the mission called Heroes. This is a side quest that can become active after completing the 1st act of the campaign and concerns Jackie and Mama Welles.
The page contains spoilers about Jackie's fate. We suggest you play through the finale of act 1 of the campaign first and take a look at the walkthrough after you reach the important choice where to take Jackie.
Unlocking the task
How to begin the quest: The opportunity to start this task comes when you complete the main mission called The Heist. After you manage to escape from the hotel and jump in the car, the escape scene will begin. After you complete it, Delamain will ask V where to take Jackie's body - you must choose to send the vehicle to Jackie's family.
You can take care of this task after you have advanced to act 2 of the campaign. You will receive a message from Mama Welles (Jackie's mother) asking you to contact her. Select the phone and find her in your contacts. You will be invited to the funeral ceremony and must accept the invitation.
Walkthrough
The event will take place in El Coyote Cojo bar located in The Glen in Heywood. When you get there, start by talking to Mama Welles. You can also have an optional drink. V will offer help in funeral ceremonies. Mama Welles will give you the key to Jackie's garage and V will go looking for a memento of his dead friend.
At the entrance to the garage you will find Misty, with whom Jackie was in a relationship. Use the key to open the garage and start exploring it.
A scanner can help you find interactive objects to examine. In the first room of the garage you will find two potential mementos - an autographed basketball and a book by Ernest Hemingway.
Optionally you can unlock the door to the second part of the garage - the key to Jackie's room lies on his desk.
In the second room of the garage you can talk to Misty again. There are two other possible mementos - a bottle of rare tequila and a leather belt. You can take only one memento or all four.
Misty will not want to take part in funeral ceremonies due to Mama Welles' reluctance towards her. You can optionally talk to Misty and respect her decision or persuade her to join the funeral. Her presence (or lack thereof) will not change the final part of the quest in any way.
Return to the bar where the ofrenda ceremony will start. During the ceremony, it will eventually be V's turn to say a word or two - you can stay on the spot or get up from the couch and share your own story about Jackie, and then put your chosen memento on the altar.
After the ofrenda is over, you can talk to Mama Welles and convince her to give Misty a chance. Mama Welles will give you the keys to Jackie's bike, which will become V's property. From now on you can call the motorcycle from the list of owned vehicles.
Before you leave the bar and finish the quest you can optionally talk to some of the characters present at Jackie's farewell party - members of the Valentinos gang, the bartender, Padre and Viktor.
Interesting fact - if during the main mission called The Pickup you displayed knowledge of motorcycles and told Jackie how to improve his machine, you will get access to a tuned version of the bike (Jackie's Tuned Arch). Otherwise it will be the "standard" model.
Alternative solution
The whole quest of taking part in the ofrenda will be skipped if you decided to send Jackie's body to Viktor during The Heist.
In this case, your interaction with Mama Welles will be limited to receiving a text message from her and optionally talking to the woman by phone. At the entrance to V's apartment you will find a cardboard box with the keys to Jackie's bike, which will now become the protagonist's property. This means you will not lose the chance to add this machine to your garage whatever your choice.
