Complete the Knockin' on Heaven's Door mission in cyberpunk 2077. Learn how to get the Arasaka Tower Access Token and defeat Adam Smasher.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Begin the job by making a choice regarding Weyland: either tell him to go get him or that he'll manage on his own. Rogue will pursue Weyland regardless of your choice, making it an optional objective, while your main goal is to find the commanding officer.
  2. 2
    You can choose to proceed stealthily or go in guns blazing; Rogue will follow your lead.
  3. 3
    In the jungle, dispatch the Arasaka Ranger and Soldier.
  4. 4
    Follow Rogue to the crashed AV, guarded by two Rangers and a Soldier. Wait for the Soldier to face a waterfall, then talk him out and approach the Ranger near the AV. Weyland will interrupt.
  5. 5
    Defeat the commander, who is a Special Agent, and loot him for the Arasaka Tower Access Token. If you engage in combat, you will be joined by Robots. If you remain undetected, they will not appear. You can also find a legendary Yukimura nearby.
  6. 6
    With the Access Token, follow the walkway to an elevator. Sneak past the two Assault Specialists to reach the elevator.
  7. 7
    Ride the elevator down to the Atrium.
  8. 8
    Follow Rogue and jump down to a balcony. Scan enemies below and time your jump to remain undetected, or find a hatch on the opposite wall leading to a chute.
  9. 9
    On the lower level, deal with the drone, Assault Specialist, and Ranger. Use another hatch and chute to descend, or jump to the indicated balcony.
  10. 10
    Be wary of a drone to the left. Scan and tag it, along with two Rangers. Use another hatch and chute, or jump down.
  11. 11
    On the floor with the security room, defeat a Juggernaut.
  12. 12
    Cross the next floor and hop down another chute.
  13. 13
    On the subsequent floor, defeat a Juggernaut, Soldier, and several Rangers. Cross a bridge, go through double doors, take a right, and go through another door to reach the security room.
  14. 14
    Defeat the Soldier and use the terminal to disable security and open the way to a server room.
  15. 15
    Enter the server room and jack into the server to set Alt loose upon Mikoshi.
  16. 16
    Leave the security room, drop to the lowest floor of the atrium, and follow Rogue and Weyland to an elevator.
  17. 17
    Ride the elevator down to “Netrunner Operations”.
  18. 18
    Go through a security checkpoint (an auto-save point you restart from on death).
  19. 19
    Follow Rogue and Weyland through the area, a control room, and down to the mainframe. Wait for Alt to open a shutter gate, then head down a hallway and open another gate.
  20. 20
    Prepare to fight Adam Smasher.

Boss: Adam Smasher

  1. Push open the second gate to enter the arena.
  2. Adam Smasher primarily charges and attempts to swat you, followed by a blast from his arm-gun.
  3. Use cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects), double jump, or dodging to evade his charges.
  4. If he stops to fire a prolonged barrage from his arm-gun, get behind cover.
Tips
  • The choice regarding Weyland at the start is illusory; Rogue will pursue him regardless.
  • You can choose between a stealthy or guns blazing approach throughout the mission.
  • Loot the commander for the Arasaka Tower Access Token.
  • A legendary Yukimura can be found on a table near the commander.
  • Use the chutes to descend levels in the Atrium for a stealthier approach and to avoid detection.
  • If you remain undetected in the jungle, the Robots will not appear.
  • Alt will eliminate any remaining enemies in the lower atrium floors after you jack into the server.
  • Adam Smasher's attacks are predictable: charges and arm-gun blasts. Use the environment for cover.
