Cyberpunk 2077 Ariadne Quest Guide: How to Complete the Brand Ambassador Request

Cyberpunk 2077's Ariadne quest is easy to miss because it does not initially present itself like a conventional Night City job. Rather than receiving a fixer call, a map marker, or a clear journal objective, V is contacted with an unexpected proposal: become a clothing brand ambassador. The message can feel like flavor text, advertising, or the beginning of a longer chain with unclear requirements. In reality, it is a small hidden activity with a very simple solution--and a worthwhile set of rewards for players who enjoy collectible gear and CD Projekt Red references.

Completing Ariadne's request awards V a payment of 4,300 eddies, lets the player keep the promotional outfit, and adds two weapons to the inventory. The clothing and weapons are also deliberate nods to The Witcher, making the task especially appealing for anyone who wants a few fantasy-styled items among Cyberpunk 2077's futuristic wardrobe.

There is no combat requirement, no difficult dialogue check, and no need to hunt through Night City's districts. The key is simply knowing where Ariadne's package was delivered, what must be equipped, and how to trigger the final response through V's messages.

How to start the Ariadne brand ambassador request

The activity begins after Ariadne contacts V and offers a sponsorship arrangement connected to clothing she has sent over. Her wording does not immediately make the objective obvious, and the game does not strongly direct the player toward the next step. If the conversation leaves you wondering whether you need to visit a store, speak to another character, or wear a particular item in public, the answer is much more straightforward.

Ariadne has placed a crate at V's original apartment in Megabuilding H10. This is the apartment used early in the game, so players returning after spending time in other homes should make sure they travel back to the original H10 residence rather than checking another apartment location.

Once inside, look near the front door. The new crate is positioned on the left as you enter. It contains everything needed to finish the sponsorship task, including the complete outfit Ariadne expects V to model.

Where to find Ariadne's crate

Fast travel or return to V's original home in Megabuilding H10, then enter the apartment as normal. Before walking deeper into the living space, inspect the area close to the entrance. The package should be easy to spot once you know it is there: it is a new crate placed to the left of the door.

Open the crate and collect its contents. Ariadne's delivery includes three pieces of clothing and two weapons:

• Ursine Jacket for the outer torso slot
• Ursine Pants for the legs slot
• The Professor's Spectacles for the face slot
• Sihil, a sword
• Boar Carver, a knife

The weapons are bonus collectibles, but the three clothing pieces are central to progressing the request. It is not enough to pick them up or place them in V's stash. The jacket, pants, and spectacles all need to be actively equipped.

Equip every clothing item, including the sunglasses

Open V's inventory and equip the Ursine Jacket, Ursine Pants, and The Professor's Spectacles. The glasses are the item most likely to be overlooked. Because they occupy the face slot and can be visually subtle depending on V's appearance, it is possible to equip the jacket and trousers, believe the task has been completed, and then find no new response option in the text chain.

For the quest to advance, all three promotional clothing pieces must be worn at the same time. The weapons do not need to be equipped, used, or even removed from the crate for the sponsorship objective itself. They are included as part of the reward package and can be tried out later.

Once V is wearing the full set, open the message thread with Ariadne again. A new option should appear: "Take Picture." This is the interaction that completes the promotional portion of the deal.

Do you actually need to take a photo?

Selecting "Take Picture" opens Cyberpunk 2077's photo mode, but there is no need to carefully compose an image, save a screenshot, or share anything outside the game. The quest effectively treats the action as if V has already sent Ariadne the requested promotional photo.

That means players can simply enter photo mode and proceed without worrying about poses, filters, backgrounds, or camera framing. Ariadne responds with thanks after the image interaction, confirming that the brand ambassador obligation has been fulfilled.

This is also why the activity can initially seem confusing. The required sequence is not communicated through a standard mission tracker: collect the delivery, wear the entire outfit, revisit the text conversation, and use the newly unlocked photo option. If "Take Picture" is absent, check the equipment screen once more and verify that the spectacles have not been left unequipped.

What happens after sending Ariadne the photo?

The immediate photo exchange is not quite the final message from Ariadne. After some time, she contacts V again to say that the sponsorship arrangement has ended. Although the short-lived deal is over, it concludes on favorable terms: V receives 4,300 eddies and is allowed to retain all of the clothing.

There is no indication that the player needs to return the wardrobe, choose a follow-up dialogue path, or complete another promotional assignment. The later message marks the end of the unlabelled quest. At that point, the jacket, pants, glasses, Sihil, and Boar Carver remain yours to use or keep as collectibles.

Ariadne reward list and Witcher references

The most distinctive part of Ariadne's package is its connection to The Witcher. Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher series share a developer, and the reward set uses that relationship for a compact collection of crossover-inspired Easter eggs. The equipment does not turn Cyberpunk 2077 into a fantasy game, but its names and designs offer a clear contrast to Night City's usual neon, tactical, and streetwear aesthetics.

Ursine Jacket and Ursine Pants

The Ursine Jacket and Ursine Pants take their visual inspiration from Ursine armor in The Witcher series. "Ursine" is associated with the School of the Bear, and the gear carries some of that heavier, rugged identity into V's wardrobe. For players putting together an unusual outfit, the set provides a more old-world silhouette than many standard Cyberpunk clothing options.

They are not merely two random apparel drops with a fantasy-adjacent name. The pairing is intended to evoke the bear-school gear theme, which makes wearing the entire set appropriate for the in-game sponsorship and for the reference itself.

The Professor's Spectacles

The Professor's Spectacles are perhaps the most important individual item from a quest-progression standpoint, since they must be equipped to unlock the photo response. They are also a multi-layered reference. In The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's Hearts of Stone expansion, Geralt could acquire sunglasses with the same name.

Those glasses were themselves an Easter egg tied to the film Leon: The Professional. As a result, the Cyberpunk 2077 version continues a reference that had already appeared in the Witcher universe. It is a small item, but one with a surprisingly long trail of inspirations behind it.

Sihil sword

Sihil is a fantasy-style sword that stands apart from Night City's more familiar firearms and cybernetic combat tools. It deals additional damage to drones, mechs, robots, and enemies affected by quickhacks, giving it a practical role beyond its appearance.

The name references a blade from the Witcher novels. That literary connection makes Sihil more than a cosmetic crossover inclusion, while its bonuses help it fit Cyberpunk 2077's technology-heavy encounters. Players using quickhacks can find particular value in pairing their hacking tools with a weapon that benefits from an enemy's compromised state.

Boar Carver knife

The Boar Carver is a fantasy-styled dagger. Its name and general concept point toward Geralt's use of similar blades for carving trophies from hunted creatures in The Witcher games. In Cyberpunk 2077, it serves as another collectible piece of Witcher-inspired equipment rather than an item needed to complete Ariadne's request.

Together, Sihil and Boar Carver make the crate feel less like a routine fashion delivery and more like a deliberately curated crossover reward. Even if your preferred V build does not rely on melee weapons, both items are worth collecting for their design and references.

Cyberpunk 2077 Ariadne quest checklist

If Ariadne's message has left you uncertain about what to do next, use this quick checklist:

1. Wait for or open Ariadne's brand ambassador message chain.
2. Return to V's original apartment in Megabuilding H10.
3. Check the left side of the entrance, near the front door.
4. Open the new crate and take the items inside.
5. Equip the Ursine Jacket, Ursine Pants, and The Professor's Spectacles.
6. Reopen Ariadne's messages.
7. Select "Take Picture" when it becomes available.
8. Enter photo mode; no saved or carefully staged image is required.
9. Wait for Ariadne's later follow-up message ending the deal and granting 4,300 eddies.

Ariadne's request is one of Cyberpunk 2077's more playful hidden interactions: brief, low-pressure, and packed with rewards that mean more to players familiar with The Witcher. The essential detail is the full outfit. Put on all three items--including the sunglasses--then return to the message thread, and V's unexpected influencer career will be complete almost as quickly as it began.
