Cyberpunk 2077: The Hidden Truth of Cerberus, a Horror Surpassing Adam Smasher
This video delves into the hidden truth of Cerberus, the autonomous maintenance robot that appears in the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC. While seemingly an ordinary robot, Cerberus was created in a Militech secret facility to control the Blackwall AI. V defeats Cerberus and acquires Erebus and the Militech Canto Mk.6, but this implies that they will face an even greater threat.
Cerberus' 'maintenance' is a military term meaning security maintenance, not facility repair.
The real horror is not Cerberus, but the fact that the initiative to move V's body has been passed on to the monsters. CDPR mentioned that this situation is an homage to Alien Isolation. Cerberus is a digital predator.
Now V has the power of the Blackwall in their hands, but this implies that they will face an even greater threat.
But just as Cerberus' ending was destruction, we must remember that the beings beyond the Blackwall are also watching the fate of V, who holds that power.

3. 😨 My Body's Owner Changes: V's Helplessness and Digital Predation
- ✅ Cerberus does not follow the 2077 standard, making it impossible to hack with V's cyberdeck.
- ⚠️ After entering the facility, V can no longer use Sandevistan, Berserk, and even Johnny Silverhand disappears.
- ✅ This is because the Blackwall AI that came through Songbird has seized V's Relic and system privileges.
The real horror is not Cerberus, but the fact that the initiative to move V's body has been passed on to the monsters. CDPR mentioned that this situation is an homage to Alien Isolation. Cerberus is a digital predator.
