Philosophic Netrunner & Legend - Spider Murphy | Cyberpunk 2077 Lore 

I hope you all enjoyed this new comprehensive lore video on Spider Murphy! This is somewhat preemptive in the case we see her in Phantom Liberty, but let me know all your thoughts down below chooms!

The fight in smashers mind:"fkin NPC slowing me down, where did blackhand go now?" The fight in Johnny's mind:" he'll never forget me 😌 " 😂😂😂

The whole world loves me ~Spider Murphy

I feel so bad for Murphy. She just wanted to fuck with corpos on the Net, and ended up losing friends in a war with them

"Quoting famous philosophers" Just like T-Bug

So spider has the original shard. Looks like Arasaka has a copy

I play tabletop Cyberpunk Red and I have to say that 2077 did awesome capturing the atmosphere after the time of the red.

Spyder sounds so intriguing. Hope to see her in PL or the sequel.

Also, I liked the netrunner stuff from cyberpunk because experiencing cyberspace sounded so cool.

Never been this early. As usual, 100/10 work. Choom! ♥ Cannot wait for PL to drop and start watching your takes on it!!!

Bro absolutely love these lore videos and I’m looking forward to Phantom Liberty

Love the lore videos, and looking forward to Phantom Liberty. Can't wait till you cover that.

I found an Iconic electric baton called Murphys law, lol. (In 2.0)

I've enjoyed the dive into the lore, and it's given me things to consider as I get ready for 2.0 and Phantom Liberty

Man, what a fantastic video! The last ten minutes were like a roller coaster ride! I knew Kei had been convinced to commit Seppuku, but I thought I had heard it was by his father because of how he "failed the Arasaka corp and the family." I had NO CLUE how it actually played out and how it ended. That blows my freakin' mind because of the implications. And the stuff regarding Angel is just WOW. I genuinely hope this is all the intended cannon and comes together in Orion. My dream plot for the sequel could totally be built off this theory! I watched this earlier today so I've had some time to sit with the idea of how I'd like to see the story be built off this theory and man I love what my brain came up with, lol. Imagine all the pieces falling into place for V to reassemble the gang. "Angel", Spider, Blackhand, Shaitan, and maybe even Johnny depending on if they take that route. Or THAT could be the end game goal, along with trying to stop all out war between humanity and rogue AIs. Maybe Spider finds out Arasaka backed up Johnny's engram somewhere. Sensing shit is about to go down with the Blackwall and the threat of rouge AIs looming, she contacts V and the two of them go about tracking everyone down while working towards getting to his engram. They make contact with Angel eventually to find out she has been saving a physical clone of Johnny on ice for just the occasion. Originally before PL I wanted to see the sequel have Takemura and V being recruited by Michiko to help her toss out the old Arasaka guard to make room for the new, allowing for actual positive change in the corp and the greater world. Major oversimplification, of course but having finished Phantom Liberty that idea just feels underwhelming with how the EP wrapped up. The "Michiko/Goro/V" dream team definitely can't hold a candle to seeing V and the 2023 crew just wrecking some rouge AIs along with Arasaka and maybe some shady agents from NetWatch during their journey to find Johnny again. I do still expect Michiko to play a bigger part in Orion somehow, being it seems Mike Pondsmith seems to take a particular interest in her and appears to have set her up as someone who could be significant opposition to the old Arasaka way if the conditions are right. I suspect he has plans for her, for sure. Plus, she has ties to the story of Black Dog which could be used to tie her into this plot. And sure Goro could come along for the ride as her new bodyguard lol. Being left disillusioned with Arasaka, it probably wouldn't be hard for Michiko to bring him around to being fully on her side, making him a valuable resource to V and the crew as an informant and set of eyes close to the top people in Arasaka. Who knows, maybe what with V's condition post PL leaving her vulnerable and being along side some of, if not, the most powerful characters in Cyberpunk lore it'd even give CDPR a reason to let Goro have a fight or two in with all his implants and abilities active, lol. Ultimately he could feel he still owes it to V to keep his word about helping her, and sees this as a chance to make sure it really happens now. Michiko feels responsible to help V as much as she can too, being just a far more decent human being than the rest of the fam ever has been while also being aware of just how much Arasaka could have helped V, if only they had actually cared to. She feels she needs to right some of the wrongs her family committed. Not because she was responsible, but because she knows she would have the ability to if only she was the one calling the biggest shots. I dunno, my mind can go running with lore predictions or just coming up with my wish list of plot lines so I probably overlooked 100 different things that could completely dismiss this as a plot, but let a girl dream lol. It'd be so rad to see everyone interacting with one another, seeing how their characters would react to each other and how they worked together as a team.

Chuffed with this, Spider is our homegirl. (Not messaged much as I've a PhD proposal staring at me with intent...)

Incredible stuff choom. You are king of Cyberpunk lore. Stellar presentation, narration, research and pontificating possibilities.

I only recently got into cyberpunk but to hear the lore and find out about the TTRPG i'm stoked to learn more and run my own game. love the video amazing job. keep up the amazing work.

Binged watched your vids. They’re great

I would love to see a Alt Cunningham deep dive lore video, this video was awesome 👍

I really hope in Phantom liberty we get some easter eggs or maybe a connection in the story

Yes, johnny's end is not the same in the TTRPG as it is in the flashback in Cyberpunk 2077. I figure that's just because he has such an ego he has to be the hero. And spoiler... Alt is on th enet, or at least some version of her.

Amasing Veideo and have a nice Phantom Liberty expirents

Something I discovered recently on my own time is that the girls from Cloud a Spider Shaped Serial Buss tattoo on they belly button area. I often wondered what did Spider Murphey do after her young days of Cyber Terrorism with the Silverhand? She must have surely bneing a damn great Netrunner, must have made programs for those willing to pay a pretty penny for her code. Clouds, I am guessing, hired Spider Murphey in order to make the CLOUD Doll Programs they use! Can somebody tell me if that Spider Serial Bus tattoo is in fact evidence of this, or if it's just random coincidence? I would surely like to believe that it is not coincidence in a game that was fully developed with a bunch of easter eggs in it, and having given a full history to many characters! Thank you in advance!

"I had "gotten"my first cyberdeck at 13 "❤❤❤❤🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🕷️🤘🤘🤘

22:34 sounds like what johnny eyes after the bombing

Holy cybercow

Hope we see sth about spider in Phentom Liberty such an awesome Character ❤️‍🔥

take my like, sir

I haven’t paid this much attention to a RU-vid video in a while

How in the fuck can songbird touch silverhand and stare him in the face while fucking with the relic is beyond me right before the trailer i seen cut she put her hand on his shoulder and v and johnny both look at each other and say how in the fuck?!

Holy fuck is it a totally different game now fuck yeah time to dismember a few gonks!!! 😂🎉❤

This is definitly reaching, and little more than baseless speculation, but there are only 2 major characters i'm aware of in 77 that 'overtly' share the same voice, 2 who are also both keen on symbols. Spider, and Misty. There's no other connection i'm aware of but its always tweaked my gut instinct that Misty may be spiders daughter. Despite 3k hours in the game, i've never remembered to check if she has a surname on her emails to jackie. Probably bunk, but a testament to how the universe is designed to tweak us onto these things

I loved this video this withiut confirming my theory confirms my theory lmfao

3 new endings chooms!

Gotta quit for a small lady spider has got balls of steel

🔥🔥🔥🔥

It kinda bugs me that Spider Murphy and Angel do not get mentioned at all in the base game.

Choom about 20 hours into 2.0 and holy fuck this shits insane idk what I want my build to be so rn I'm all around and it's fucking nuts the can pin point me died like in total 3 times and I was acting like a complete gonk but definitely challenging tho a lot better than before!!!❤🎉

Choom 2.0 is today and we're getting a special interview from cdpr shortly wake the fuck SAMUARI yah got a gig to perform 😂😂

Do you think Spider Murphy is a subscriber? I would be if I were her!

Doesn't the Relic Skills jailbreak icon look like a spider? One part of the face and one part of the arm looks like a spider's abdomen. I thought it might be an asura from Buddhism, in which case the correct number of arms would be six. sry for poor English i'm japanese

Damn, hope Spider got that happy ending with a hoard of kids and good husband. Recluse should be her best student

Bump

You guys know Spider's Mike's wife's character?

Since her icon is an anime girl, Recluse might be a student that idolized her.

So in game Johnnys memories we live ain’t the true memory of his?

I haven’t beat it yet but I feel like songbird is spider ….I’m probably wrong

Great video dude! Maybe we can collab sometime would be great to work with another CP2077 creator

Where is "Night City Legends #1" video? I can't seem to find it

Anyone know the ost at the being?

i like to think t-bug was Spider Murphy and she didnt really die i think that t -bug could just log out or something really fast as she knew that the Kopeki plaza Gig wasnt a good plan

Where does mikoshi exists? Beyond the black wall?

Could Bug be Spyder?

Where do I find the message from Bart moss in the books

Where do you have this informations from is it from book or comics or what I need to knowwwwww

9:55. 11:17

Is song bird Sider Murphy

I think you could stand to benefit slowing down and taking the time to read out the lore with a little more life. If you continually recount actions, states of mind, dialogue, and body language cues in the characters all at the same tone and pace, it can be incredibly hard to process the information as a viewer. Dialogue especially can be easily made distinct with tonal shifts or visual cues like a sound wave under a character portrait. Keep up the good work!

This game is better to be build like how God of War is. So much potential just from the lore.

Crazy theory that I just ha. Do you think T bug could somehow be Spider Murphy? I only ask because at least in the game T bug quoted a couple philosophers as well as her icon like something similar to what spider Murphy would’ve used as well just a thought much do we really know about her question?

murphy's probably dead by now

2:03 "Timbre" is pronounced "TAM-BER". Don't ask me why, and the only reason I know is because I'm a professional composer and it's a common term in music.
