‘Relations’ with Joytoys

If you’re looking for a quick and straightforward way to add a touch of romance to your Night City adventures, you can opt for a transactional approach. Throughout Night City, you’ll come across Joytoys stationed on various street corners, indicated by a lips symbol on your map and mini-map. These hireable NPCs are willing to engage in intimate encounters with you for a fee. For some uncomplicated enjoyment, approach a Joytoy and pay them a fee to initiate a night of lively and endlessly repeatable fun.

A One Night Stand with Meredith Stout

To initiate a romantic night with Meredith Stout in Cyberpunk 2077, progress through the main story until you reach “The Pickup” mission. During this mission, you’ll be contacted by Meredith Stout, a Militech agent. Meet her as instructed in the mission, and be sure to obtain the credit chip from her. What matters for the romantic outcome is how you handle the exchange for the Flathead:

• Option 1: Shoot Royce during the exchange and then fight your way out of the All Foods.

• Option 2: Give Royce the virus-laden credit chip without informing him about the virus. Do not crack the chip beforehand.

Selecting either of these two options will lead to a romantic encounter with Meredith. After completing The Pickup mission, you should encounter Meredith outside the All Foods. Conclude the mission with her, then wait for her to send you a message, alluding to a meeting. Agree to the meeting to start a side quest called “Venus in Furs“.

As you follow the quest markers, you will eventually arrive at the “No-Tell Motel.” Here, you and Meredith will have a one-night stand. After this encounter, you can acquire the potent iconic blunt weapon known as “Sir John Phallustiff.” Keep in mind that this weapon is replaced if you have the censored mode enabled in the game.

How to Romance Judy Alvarez

In Cyberpunk 2077, it’s important to note that Judy is a lesbian, and you can enter into a romantic relationship with her only if your V character has a feminine voice and body type.

Judy is one of the early romanceable characters you’ll meet in the game. She operates Braindance tech beneath a club in Kabuki, located in Watson. You’ll initially encounter Judy when you begin planning the heist for Dex/Evelyn, and she will guide you through how Braindance sequences work. After this initial meeting, you can pursue a romance with her. To romance Judy, make sure to complete the following steps:

1. During the “Pisces” side quest, refuse Maiko’s plan and payment. Do not kill Maiko at the end of the meeting.
2. During the “Pyramid Song” side quest, accept Judy’s requests to dive and stay together. You will have the opportunity to kiss Judy in the bathroom during this mission, so be sure to do so.
3. In the morning after the events of the “Pyramid Song” quest, you can join Judy on the pier. Tell her that last night was “the beginning of something amazing” to initiate your relationship with her.

Following these steps will indeed lead to a fulfilling and romantic relationship with Judy, characterized by love and laughter. Furthermore, this relationship grants you certain benefits, including access to Judy’s apartment, which serves as a safehouse in the game.
