The Damned Walkthrough

Meet Reed at The Moth Bar: Travel to The Moth Bar in the Longshore Stacks area of Dogtown. Wait outside for Reed. After time skips to night, go inside and take a seat at the bar. Reed will call, and then arrive. After an encounter with Alex (formerly Daphne), you'll have a choice to disarm her or show her the coin. Regardless, you'll need to show her the coin.

Talk to Alex: Go outside and talk to Alex. Your dialogue choices won't impact the outcome, but mentioning Songbird will reveal her backstory with Reed. Alex agrees to help if her condition (a spy's retirement) is met. Return to the bar and speak with Reed. When Alex returns, tell her what you know about Songbird. Alex reveals you need to find Netrunner Wilky “Slider” Laguerre. Reed will tell you to meet him at Slider’s hideout.

Meet with Reed near Slider’s Hideout: Travel to Slider’s hideout southwest of the Luxor High Fast Travel point. Head up the stairs to the voodoo stronghold and wait for Reed. Inside, you'll have choices on how to approach:

• Let’s just chat ’em up: Leads to a scene and then the second choice.

Gotta be another way in. Let’s look: Reed suggests a ventilation shaft.

I say we just roll in. (Requires 11 Body): Brute-force entry, leading to a more difficult encounter with the Daemon.

Find a Way into the Ventilation Shafts (Stealth Method): If you don't have 15 Body to open the door inside, exit the building and turn left. Use your scanner to find the vent. Go behind a container to your left to find a gap in the scaffolding. Follow the ledges to the top, turn right, and drop down. Go through the door, optionally pick up loot, and open the door to let Reed in. Follow the linear path to the vent shaft.

Find Slider: Proceed through the shaft. Hack the camera to your left. At an intersection, you can either break a hatch (requires 20 Body) or disarm a trapdoor. Disarming the trapdoor leads to a brief trap before Reed frees you, but alerts the area and triggers the Server boss fight. If you disarm the trapdoor, follow the shaft.
