This is Judy’s 2nd Side Job and one of the quests that leads to Judy’s Romance (can only be romanced with female body type & female voice). Your choices in this particular job do not affect the Romance, can’t choose anything wrong here.
Judy’s Side Questline:
Starting Location: Ex-Factor
Side Job: Ex-Factor takes place in Westbrook (Japantown). A few days after Judy’s 1st Side Job “Both Sides, Now” you will get a text message from Judy on your phone called “EV’s Send Off”. Reply to it and wait for Judy to call you back after a few hours. Then choose “Yeah, I’ll help” to start the quest. If you decline by accident you can still call her back to start the quest later (but it’s recommended to accept it right away as that’s what has been tested and confirmed to work for the romance).
Meet Judy on Cloud’s Terrace in early morning
The meeting spot with Judy is on a high-up floor in the megabuilding. Be sure to track it from the journal and follow the yellow waypoints (use the elevator to get as far as it will take you, then take a left after exiting the elevator until you reach a ladder and climb up).
Wait until early morning / Talk to Judy
If it’s not yet early morning, it will let you skip time by interacting with the black office chair when you arrive. Then Judy shows up (as in the Screenshot above).
Follow Judy
Follow Judy, there are two dialogue options but it doesn’t matter what you choose here as you will always proceed on the same path.
Dialogue:
- You’ve used this entrance before?
- Know how to get around their systems? (requires 9 Technical Ability)
Enter Office
Follow after Judy to enter the office where Maiko awaits.
Talk to Judy and Maiko
The following conversation has different outcomes, depending on whether or not you let Woodman live in Main Job “Automatic Love“. He was the gang boss in the sex club’s office who you had to interrogate (or kill) for info on Evelyn’s wherabouts.
- If you let Woodman live (made a deal with him and he let you out via the service elevator): Do not provocate Maiko during the dialogues and she will tell you where Woodman is and you get the optional objective to go kill him now. Then you can either kill him or not, up to you.
- If you had killed Woodman: There is only way this conversation can end. After talking to Maiko, Judy will walk with you straight out of the building and you won’t get the optional objective to kill Woodman.
Other than this your choices here don’t change anything.
Exit Clouds
Walk out of Maiko’s office.
Talk to Judy
And listen to Judy again. Your choice here doesn’t affect anything.
- Might need time to think
- She’s probably scared
Follow Judy
Walk with Judy to the elevator. If Woodman is still alive and Maiko told you about him, Judy will bring it up during conversation and you can agree to kill him or don’t.
Optional: Kill Woodman
If Woodman is still alive, Maiko told you he’s in the building, and you agreed with Judy to kill him you can now do this task.
In the elevator, instead of pressing 01: Ground Floor, you’ll want to pick 03: Maintenance. He’s just a miniboss fight. After you finished or skipped him, take the elevator to the ground floor.
Ride the elevator to the ground floor
Hit 01: Ground Floor in the elevator.
Leave the megabuilding with Judy
Follow Judy outside.
Talk to Judy
Just listen to Judy and it will end the quest.
This finishes Ex-Factor side quest job in Cyberpunk 2077 (CP77). Now you can continue with Judy’s next quest Talkin’ ‘Bout A Revolution.
