Cyberpunk 2077 - Influence with Johnny Silverhand

So far, I've had trouble getting my influence with Johnny over 60%. I'm curious to know how high others have made it. Are there are any tried-and-true methods to raise your influence with him?

It would seem that 70% is the highest that you can get your influence with Johnny. Mostly, you can get 60% just by following simple guidelines (laid out in IGN's walkthrough) of being nice to Johnny and not taking the Omega Blockers when there are other conversation options.

But it seems like there's one conversation in the side gig "Chippin' In" which can get you that extra 10%. However doing that, requires you to select certain, specific conversation options when you and Johnny are at the Oil Fields. These aren't terribly intuitive, because some of them require you to be confrontational to Johnny. Basically, select these conversation options, shown in order of when you are prompted:

"Let's do something about that." Be sure to inscribe Johnny's initials when prompted.
"The Guy who Saved My Life"
"Nah, fucked the up too."
"What do you want from me?"
"OK. But as second chances go, this is your last."
"You were a real dick in the beginning."
"When you said you let down your friends..."
"Yeah, I'll call Rogue."

Evidently, this is the only conversation with Johnny which matters in terms of unlocking the secret ending.

Many hit 60% by the final mission and that doesn't seem to stop most people being able to access the Cyberpunk 2077 secret ending. The key thing is to basically let Johnny do what he wants - if he wants to smoke, drink, take over your body, let him. Just to be safe.

Why is Johnny Silverhand important?

Johnny Silverhand is probably one of the most important characters in Cyberpunk 2077. He serves as the guide for the protagonist in the game. Armed with a cybernetic arm, Johnny Silverhand is played by Keanu Reeves in Cyberpunk 2077. The character holds a deep grudge against the megacorporations which run Night City.

What happens if you let Johnny Silverhand take over?

Let Johnny take over because it's his body, and you get to go back to Night City to clear up a few missions. The construct known as V ends up merged with Mikoshi, while Johnny takes V's body off on a new adventure. It's a different kind of resolution, though there's no telling if it's canonical yet.
