Walkthrough of the task Pattern recognition in Cyberpunk 2077
After finishing the conversation with Placid, you will need to leave the Batty Hotel following the route on the minimap.
Meet the Placida people and enter the mall
As soon as you leave the hotel, you need to meet and talk with Placid's people, who will advise you to get into the shopping center through the garage at the back. Following further along the task navigator, get to the mall guarded by members of the “Animals” gang, who can be killed or bypassed unnoticed by hiding behind boxes.
Once in the shopping center, you will need to find the van in the lobby, located on the left side on the 1st floor. You can get there in one of the following ways:
- In the gym, keep to the right, go down to the lower floor, into the lobby, enter the store on the left and follow the wall to the van.
- At the entrance to the fitness center, turn left, sit down and get to the enemy on the training bench, turn right, go up the stairs, go to the end of the corridor and go down, there will be a van.
- At Strength level 10, you can open the door on the right side of the corridor in front of the gym to bypass the numerous guards and go straight up to the upper floor of the lobby.
Once the target is found, V will contact Placid and be instructed to connect to the van.
The connection allows you to detect a group of Network Watch agents hunting for Voodooists, and determine the presence of one of them in a shopping center cinema.
Find an agent at the cinema
There are several ways to get to a Network Watch agent in a movie theater:
- Unnoticed by enemies - to do this you need to go to the Kabayan Foods restaurant, located on the top floor and go through it.
- Go ahead - follow the sign on the minimap and kill everyone in your path, including the boss - Matilda K. Rose (Sasquatch).
- Bypass the boss - avoiding battle by moving in stealth mode.
How to defeat Matilda K. Rose (Sasquatch)
Sasquatch in Cyberpunk 2077 is a strong enemy: if you attack head-on, you will notice that the recovery of the enemy’s health exceeds the damage done, at first glance, this makes the task of destroying the boss almost impossible. However, there is a tactic on how to kill Matilda K. Rose: before dealing the main damage, you will need to destroy the purple device on the mercenary's back. It can be done:
- Aimed shot when Sasquatch pauses briefly after attacking;
- By sneaking up to Matilda in stealth mode before the start of the battle and pressing the “F” button at the right time.
After disarming the regeneration device, the boss's health will instantly drop to 70%, after which you can safely attack the enemy. Sasquatch's cyber implants not only strengthen the mercenary, but are also a serious vulnerability that can be exploited if the netrunner's skills are sufficiently developed and the necessary hacking programs are available:
- “Short circuit” - will turn off the regeneration device.
- "Overheat" - will cause thermal damage, which Matilda has a weakness to.
- "Cripple Movement" - will slow down the enemy's movement.
- “Implant malfunction” will make it difficult to evade attacks.
- "System Shutdown" - will shutdown the boss.

Talk to agent
Having reached the cinema, you will have to talk with an agent of the Network Watch - the man has blocked communication with Placid, so the decision will have to be made without outside help. The choice in the dialogue is a significant plot fork, further events will develop depending on who you choose in Pattern Recognition in Cyberpunk 2077. There are 2 options.

- The Network Watch will not invade the Voodoo subnet and they will remain alive;
- The number of awards will decrease;

- It will be possible to fight with Placid and get goodies from his corpse;
- Silverhand's sympathy will decrease.
