So, I saw this side quest in Cyberpunk 2077 called “Happy Together” and I thought, “Why not give it a shot?” It’s supposed to be available right from the start of Act 2, just downstairs from your apartment. Sounds easy enough, right?
First, I walked down to the floor below my apartment. I saw two cops banging on a door and started a conversation with them. They told me about their friend, Barry, who’s been going through a rough patch. I offered to check in on him.
I knocked on Barry’s door a couple of times, but no answer. I talked to the cops again, and they suggested I try again later. I figured, “Okay, I’ll just go do some other stuff and come back.” I wandered around, completed a few gigs, you know, the usual Cyberpunk stuff.
After a while, I headed back to Barry’s place. This time, I just went straight in, the door was open. I found Barry sitting in his apartment, looking pretty down. We chatted for a bit. He opened up about his friend Andrew, who was actually a tortoise, and how much he missed him. Turns out, Andrew had passed away, and Barry was taking it hard.
Then I got this idea to check out the columbarium in North Oak. I drove over there, and after some searching, I found Andrew’s niche. It had a little message about finding peace. I figured this might help Barry, so I went back to his apartment.
- Went back to Barry.
- Talked to him about Andrew’s niche.
- Explained what I found.
I explained everything to Barry, and it seemed to give him some closure. We talked some more, and he seemed a bit better. I left him to his thoughts and went back to the cops to let them know how it went.
I filled the cops in, and they were grateful I checked in on Barry. They decided to go talk to him themselves. It was a bit of a sad quest, but it felt good to help Barry out. I guess even in a messed up place like Night City, there’s still room for some human connection.
I think it’s a meaningful quest and worth playing. So that’s it for the “Happy Together” quest. Pretty heavy stuff, huh? But hey, that’s Cyberpunk for you. It’s not all guns and chrome, sometimes it’s about the feels.
