Cyberpunk 2077 Zen Master (2024)

FAQs

Does it matter if I pay the Zen Master cyberpunk? ›

Your actual in-game choices are 'nothing' or a specific amount the game has chosen. The amount you pay (or don't pay) doesn't matter; the quest plays out the same either way. The only thing that changes is the number of eddies you have.

The Zen Master shows up in four side jobs located throughout Night City, and each one follows the same format. Completing these jobs won't give V a useful item or ability, and it won't change the endings, but what they do is give the player an experience unlike anything else Cyberpunk 2077 has to offer.

After encountering the Zen Master for the final time, he left behind an altar which V could display in their apartment, hanging off the shelf above their bed.

Zen master is a somewhat vague English term that arose in the first half of the 20th century, sometimes used to refer to an individual who teaches Zen Buddhist meditation and practices, usually implying longtime study and subsequent authorization to teach and transmit the tradition themselves.

There are several Maelstrom goons that need to be taken out, but the monk would appreciate it if you could avoid killing them. The best way to do this is through stealth nonlethal takedowns, although a good nonlethal weapon can do in a pinch if you get discovered.

However, if you don't pay him back, you don't miss out on too much. So far, we haven't discovered any real story impact on paying him back or not - he thanks you briefly but that's about it, conversation-wise - and similarly, there are lots of other ripperdocs around Night City that you can use as an alternative.

Getting all the Cyberpunk 2077 endings is largely down to completing as many of the main Side Jobs as possible. For example, completing Panam's mission arc unlocks one of the better endings. However, it's also critical to have a good relationship with Johnny by the time you hit the final Nocturne OP55N1 mission.

To permanently equip Johnny Silverhand's arm while playing V, players will first need to finish the side quest Chippin' In. This side quest is essential to obtaining Cyberpunk 2077's secret ending, and it'll be assigned to V automatically after finishing the main quest Tapeworm.

Where to get Legendary Gorilla Arms. Gorilla Arms aren't cheap in Cyberpunk 2077, unfortunately. You can find them in three different rarities: blue (rare), purple (epic), and gold (legendary) - and even the weakest Gorilla Arms will require 20 Street Cred and around 16,000 eurodollars to purchase.

Now as a strategist / gamer, I pay him if you can because you are hoping there is some point or benefit as a ending result. As it turns out, nothing. Doesn't matter if you pay him or not, result is the same, end is the same. Their is no consequence good or bad to spending the cash.

Why do Zen Masters carry bamboo sticks? ›

Abbots belonging to the Zen lineage, as depicted in their biographies and discourse records, occasionally used their bamboo staffs to strike disciples. Such use of the bamboo staff was understood to be instructive, not punitive: to disabuse the recipient of their stubbornly held views or startle them into awakening.

More often, it simply indicates the master's rejection of the words spoken by his student, who is judged to be caught up in delusion. The meaning of blows in classical Zen hinges on two conceits. The first is upaya, the Mahayana concept of “skillful means”—devices used by a bodhisattva to lead beings to awakening.

A braindance, commonly abbreviated to BD, is a technology that allows to record and play back someone's experience, including their physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts.

Well, Night City offers you the chance to engage in sexual encounters with Joytoys, which are the game's fancy term for sex workers.

A registered cyberpsycho is on something akin to parole. They must attend periodic therapy sessions to keep them human. They have implants to monitor their activity. So long as they don't do anything dangerous, they can go about their lives as normal.

This implant allows you to deal more Physical damage in melee combat, and have a 10-20% chance to apply a Bleed effect.
