Starting the Dream On quest: Meet Jefferson and Search the Apartment

How to start the quest: You must first complete the side job I Fought the Law in which Elizabeth and Jefferson Peralez make their first appearance. The job involves the investigation the death of the Mayor of Night City. Some time after completing this job, Jefferson will call V and ask for another meeting in the apartment.

Head to Charter Hill in Westbrook to partake in the meeting. Use the intercom and take the elevator to the top floor. You will gather from the conversation that Jefferson witnessed an unusual burglary and that the hired security personnel is denying the occurrence of the incident. V will be asked to look into the matter. You can ask a number of questions about the details of the incident and the stance of the SSI personnel.

Elizabeth will start by giving you a short tour of the apartment, but eventually you will be able to explore it freely. Use the scanner to find traces of the chemicals used to clean up blood. You can find more traces of this type in the apartment and you should follow their "tracks".

The traces will eventually lead you to a closed door. You can solve this problem in 3 main ways:

1. Push the door apart by force relying on the attribute Body building.
2. Get to the closed room from the roof of the apartment.
3. Find a security room in the apartment. One of the computers is locked - use the code 6709 (which can be found in an adjacent computer station). After unlocking the computer, select the Local Area Network tab and choose the command to open the door.

Each of the methods described above will allow you to get inside the secret room (pictured above), from which Elizabeth and Jefferson were being observed (without their knowledge).

The next important step is to scan the strange computer located in the newly unlocked room. Your objective will be to find the source of the cluster of cables connected to it.

Tracking the cables is very easy - in the secret room you will find a ladder that will allow you to quickly reach the roof of the apartment. The cables will lead you to a yellow satellite dish on the roof. Examine it and then listen to the conversation with Johnny.

You will receive a hint that the signal is being sent to a location within sight. Turn in the direction of the antenna and turn on the scanner. Zoom in on the image and scan the unknown device marked on the image.

Return to the residential area of the apartment and talk to Elizabeth, then leave the apartment.

Investigation during the Dream On quest: Find and Pursue the Van

Your destination is a van parked in the Japantown sub-district of Westbrook. Reach the site with any relatively fast vehicle and save the game before approaching the van.

The van will start to drive away quickly. Losing track of it will result in failing the job as you have unsuccessfully carried out the investigation of the transmission source. You must follow the van. Try to stay within 150 meters distance of the van. Continue the "chase" until the van enters a side alleyway in the Northside sub-district.

Infiltrate the Maelstrom Hideout in the Dream On quest: Key Actions

Your task is to get to the van. The issue is that it is parked in a location occupied by the Maelstrom gang. The hiding place should be infiltrated - either stealthily, by starting direct fights or through hacking.

You don't have to eliminate all of the enemies in the area. All that matters is to get close to the van to connect to its Access Point. You will find that the neural connections are used to deliberately modify the memories and personality traits of Elizabeth and Jefferson.

Completing the Dream On quest: Decisive Encounters with Elizabeth and Jefferson

First you will meet Elizabeth. Call her to make an appointment. She waits for you in a ramen store located in Japantown, Westbrook. After explaining the situation to her, Elizabeth will ask you not to reveal the whole truth to Jefferson.

Jefferson is waiting for V in a park located in Corpo Plaza in the City Center. On your way to the park you will receive a call from an unknown person who will warn you to keep your newly discovered knowledge to yourself. During the meeting with Jefferson you have 2 options:

1. You can tell Jefferson the truth about the brainwashing attempts.
2. You can lie and not share the information obtained from the van.

This is not an important choice, as the Jefferson and Elizabeth quest line ends with this job. No matter what choices you make, you will receive eddies for your investigation.
