During the Cyberpsycho Sighting: Bloody Ritual, you will be tasked with cracking the Ritualist’s shard. Players are wondering how exactly to do that which is why we’ve created this guide. When you encounter a Maelstrom cultist in the Bloody Ritual job (that’s appropriately titled because things get pretty gross), you will see a lot of bloody stuff around you. Upon searching the fresh corpse, you will obtain an encrypted shard which has info hidden behind the data encryption. You have to unlock its secrets – this is how to do it and beat an enemy that appears named Zaria Hughes.
In order to crack the ritualist’s shard in CP2077, follow these steps:
After that, you need to search the area in order to get some additional information. You have to scan the freezer with human remains, a dead body and collect data about the crime. Soon enough, Zaria Hughes, the Cyberpsycho will come out and aggressively attack you with her mantis blades which is her main weapon.
If you are not able to crack the shard despite doing things right, it’s not your fault. Some players are coming across a Bloody Ritual Shard bug where the cracked shard isn’t being recognized by the game. Hopefully this gets fixed in the upcoming patches the devs have promised.
