Where: Northside, west of Pershing St Fast Travel.
What: You'll get a call from Regina. Head towards the marker.
What: As you get close, Ellis will likely have his back to you. This is your chance for a sweet Takedown if your Level is high enough.
Why: A Takedown is quick and quiet, but only if you can sneak up on him. If you're not feeling stealthy, or your Level isn't there yet, keep your distance.

Where: The encounter area in Northside.
What: Ellis is your target. He's quick and has cyberware that lets him dodge bullets.
What: If you have the 'Cyberware Malfunction' Quickhack, now's the time to use it. This will disable his evasion ability, making him much easier to hit.
Why: Without this hack, landing consistent hits can be a real pain. He's agile, so anything that helps you lock on is a huge advantage.
What: Ellis attacks with fast melee strikes. Your best bet is to keep your distance.
What: A Shotgun is great for keeping up the damage if he gets too close, but avoid Snipers after the initial shot because you won't have enough time to aim and fire effectively.
Why: Staying mobile and keeping him at arm's length is key to surviving his aggressive melee attacks.
What: If you've got the cyberdeck for it, Short Circuit and Overheat quickhacks are also super useful here.
Why: These can deal significant damage or disrupt his cyberware, making the fight go smoother.

Where: The encounter area after Ellis is defeated.
What: Ellis is down.
What: Loot the Shard that's near where Ellis was crouching.
Why: This Shard contains the information Regina needs.
What: Send the Shard to Regina.
Why: This completes the Cyberpsycho Sighting and nets you your reward.
- Consider the 'Frozen Precision' Perk from the Cold Blood tree if you plan on going for a headshot from a distance. It really boosts your damage.
- If you're struggling to hit him, the 'Cyberware Malfunction' Quickhack is almost essential.
- Keep moving! Ellis is relentless up close, so give yourself space to react.
- Shotguns are your friend for close-to-mid range, but don't rely on snipers once the fight is truly underway.
