Dive into Night City’s Soul: El Coyote Cojo, Mama Welles, and Jackie’s Legacy
Night City is vast. It glimmers with neon lights. Cybernetic enhancements fill the streets. But, there are warm spots amidst the chaos. One such place is El Coyote Cojo. It’s filled with heart and spices. At the center is the unforgettable Mama Welles, mother of Jackie.
El Coyote Cojo: More Than Just a Dive Bar
El Coyote Cojo translates to “The Limping Coyote” in Spanish. This bar isn’t typical. It sits in the Stacks district of Heywood. Locals gather there. Anyone with eddies feels welcomed. The bar thrives on authenticity. Beer is cold, food is hot, and stories are plenty. It’s a pillar of the community.
Meet Mama Welles: Guadalupe Alejandra Welles
Behind the warmth is Guadalupe Alejandra Welles, known as Mamá Welles. She isn’t just a bar owner; she’s a matriarch. In a cold city, she represents strength. As Jackie’s mother, she upholds traditions in a tech-driven world. Mama Welles provides more than drinks; she offers a slice of home and humanity.
Honoring Jackie: The “Heroes” Quest and Ofrenda
Jackie’s death leaves a mark. Cyberpunk 2077 honors him in the “Heroes” quest. This quest begins with a choice at the end of “The Heist.” Players can send Jackie’s body to his family. Doing this triggers Mama Welles’ call, inviting V to Jackie’s ofrenda, a traditional memorial at El Coyote Cojo.
Some may choose Vik out of practicality. Vik is a skilled Ripperdoc, but this choice loses a family farewell. Arasaka will take Jackie’s body to extract his engram, a digital remnant. Vik can’t provide closure for Mama Welles and the family. Sending Jackie home offers peace of mind for them and honors his legacy.
Rewards Beyond Measure: Bike and ‘La Chingona Dorada’
Now for the rewards. Choosing family doesn’t mean missing Jackie’s motorcycle. Mama Welles gives V the keys after the ofrenda. It’s both a blessing and a reminder of loss. More gifts await too. If you appreciate style, there’s “La Chingona Dorada,” Jackie’s distinctive pistol.
This pistol is not just any weapon; it’s a statement reflecting Jackie’s flair for craftsmanship. To get it, finish the “Heroes” side job and wait for 24 in-game hours. Return to El Coyote Cojo to find “La Chingona Dorada” on Jackie’s ofrenda, a final gift from him.
‘La Chingona Dorada’: A Pistol with Panache
“La Chingona Dorada” shines with its blend of tech and style. It’s powerful too. Its modifier benefits headshot lovers. Achieving headshots increases Crit Damage and Burn chance, stacking up to ten times. This pistol’s power rewards accuracy similar to Jackie in combat.
If you missed getting “La Chingona Dorada,” don’t worry, choomba. The Phantom Liberty expansion has you covered. Jackie’s pistol can be bought from Herold Lowe at EBM Petrochem Stadium. While it’s not quite the same as receiving it as a memorial gift, it counts in Night City.
Jackie’s Choice: Family or the Void?
The choice about Jackie’s body is yours alone. Sending him to Mama Welles opens deep emotions and a rewarding questline. It’s a chance to say goodbye, embrace Jackie’s culture, and honor his memory meaningfully. Cyberpunk 2077 intertwines action with moments of connection. El Coyote Cojo, overseen by Mama Welles, serves as the perfect setting for this farewell, reminding us that family and memory survive in Night City’s darkness.
