In Cyberpunk 2077, players are thrust into various missions and Braindances, with “The Information” being the first significant test of their detective skills. This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough of The Information Braindance, ensuring players can successfully navigate the objectives, scan crucial elements, and uncover the hidden Relic with ease.
Starting the Braindance
Begin your journey at Lizzie’s Bar, where you’ll meet the adept Judy Alvarez. She will provide you with a specialized headset, your gateway into the immersive world of Braindance. As you don the headset, pay keen attention to Judy’s insightful instructions. Her expertise will guide you in maneuvering through the various Braindance layers, a skill imperative for the mission’s success.
Inside the Braindance
Start your first task by switching to the visual layer within the Braindance. Here, your objective is to locate Yorinobu and his datapad. A clear, focused scan of the datapad is essential, ensuring you gather all the necessary information. Remember to switch to visual layer for optimal results.
Scanning the Apartment Security Systems

Scanning for Thermal Clues to Find the Relic
In the Braindance, after scanning the datapad, you will unlock the thermal layer, allowing you to find the heat signature for the Relic storage. The thermal clues are highlighted by a blue gas that indicates ‘cold’. Here’s a detailed walkthrough to ensure you don’t miss any thermal clues:
2m40s: Air Conditioning Vent

1m00s: Fridge
- What to Scan: Fridge where Evelyn gets a drink.
- Details: At the one-minute mark, focus on the fridge from where Evelyn retrieves a drink. This element, while not crucial for the relic, contributes to the overall thermal scanning process.

- What to Scan: Hidden safe on the floor in the far corner of the room.
- Details: As Yorinobu and Evelyn move towards the bar at the beginning of the recording, a brief opportunity arises to scan a concealed safe on the room’s distant corner floor.
