Disasterpiece is the main job in which V and Judy Álvarez track down an illegal braindance studio to rescue Evelyn Parker. It starts on Jig-Jig Street in Japantown right after The Space in Between, and leads to an abandoned power plant that the game's objective places in Charter Hill. There, Scavengers record their victims' deaths and sell the braindances.

Story

The Death's Head Moth

Fingers revealed that Evelyn ended up in the hands of people who make XBDs, illegal braindances of real suffering and death. The recordings in question carry the sign of a death's head moth. Judy is frightened for Evelyn, and V can reassure her before setting out to find a dealer.

The journal describes the places the search leads to. Every city has its no go zones, and in Night City stepping into them is like staring into an abyss that stares back. People with sense avoid them, and most who go in come out limping and bleeding. Johnny's advice to V is simple: come out in one piece.

Finding the Dealer

There are three ways to find a dealer. Judy can search the dark corners of the net from a public terminal on Jig-Jig Street, through a hidden version of a site called Pleasures of Night City. A sex shop on the street can also point the way. Or Wakako Okada, the fixer of Westbrook, can name the dealer, who works in an underground passage off Jig-Jig Street. V buys the braindance called Deep Fried Death's Head Moth and takes it to Judy's van.

The Braindance

In the van, V plays the recording and studies it for clues to where it was made. A pizza box, a lab suit and a coffee cup on the editor's desk give the location away: the old Electric Corporation power plant. Judy wants to come along, and V can accept her offer of a ride.

The Power Plant

At the plant, Judy asks V to find a way in while she looks for a plan of the building. V can warn her that it is not safe, but she follows anyway. Scavengers guard every level. V works down through the sub levels, with Judy's help, and finds Evelyn in a room deep below ground, wired into the recording equipment. V pulls the cable out, and the three escape by lift. The story continues in Double Life.

Disasterpiece Map Location and Walkthrough

Disasterpiece map location:

Jig-Jig Street

  1. Talk to Judy outside Fingers's clinic and comfort her.
  2. Ask around Jig-Jig Street about XBDs if desired.
  3. Find the dealer in one of three ways: use a terminal on Jig-Jig Street to open the Pleasures of Night City site, breach its login and find the hidden dealer page; ask at the sex shop; or call or visit Wakako Okada.
  4. Find the dealer in the underground passage off Jig-Jig Street.
  5. Tell him V needs a special braindance, and reassure him that cops do not walk alone around there.
  6. Buy the braindance Deep Fried Death's Head Moth.

The Braindance

  1. Meet Judy at her van and get into the passenger seat.
  2. Put on the headset and watch the whole recording once.
  3. Switch to the editor and the visual layer.
  4. Scan the pizza on the counter by the wall at about 00:15.
  5. Scan the lab suit by the editor's desk at about 00:29.
  6. Scan the coffee cup on the editor's desk at about 00:45.
  7. Exit the braindance and agree to ride with Judy to the power plant.

The Ground Floor

  1. Talk to Judy and tell her it is not safe if desired.
  2. Find the stairs down to level -1. For stealth, climb the stack of wood onto the collapsed platform, use the computer in the room opposite the warehouse to switch off the cameras, then cross the pallets and the metal roof on the north east side of the warehouse.
  3. Or go through the ground floor door after dealing with a guard, and force the next door with enough Body.
  4. Or use the front door, switch off the cameras first and climb the pallets on the right while the guard on the stairs looks away.

Level -1

  1. Take out the two Scavengers in the first room quietly, then breach the computer.
  2. Wait for the two guards in the main hallway to split up and take them down one at a time.
  3. Let Judy throw a smoke distraction in the last room, then clear it quietly.
  4. Use the shortcut with enough Technical Ability, or force the shutter next to the hallway with enough Body to skip two guards.

Level -2

  1. Take down the guard in the first room and breach the computer.
  2. Wait for the next guard to move to a corner away from the group, take him out, then use distractions to clear the rest.
  3. Use the shortcut on the west side of the first area with enough Technical Ability to skip the main room.
  4. Find Evelyn in the room on the east side and pull out the cable connected to her.
  5. Take the lift out of the plant.

Choices

The dealer can be found through Judy's search on the net, the sex shop or Wakako. All three lead to the same man. Accepting Judy's offer of a ride, and showing concern for her safety, helps build the bond that can later lead to a romance with her.

The power plant can be cleared quietly or by force. Stealth is safer for Judy, who follows V through the building.

Rewards

Completing Disasterpiece rewards Errata (missable).

The Iconic katana Errata lies inside a furnace on level -2 of the power plant. It can only be taken during this job, so it is worth looking for on the way to Evelyn.

Tips

Points in Body and Technical Ability open many doors and shortcuts in the power plant. The nearest fast travel point is Republic East, outside a Buck-A-Slice to the south east of the plant.

Enemies

V fights these enemies during Disasterpiece.

Notes

  • A shard with an archived conversation lies on a box in a corridor on level -2. Look for "Sector 3" written on a wall and go through the door beside it.
