Disco Elysium Opening Strategy and Attribute Allocation Explanation

Disco Elysium, this game has received a lot of attention since its announcement. This detective-themed game, whether in terms of plot design, gameplay, or other elements, gives people a very novel and interesting feeling. Below, we will bring you the Disco Elysium starting guide. Although the game is very interesting, many players have only heard of the name and haven't experienced it. The difficulty of getting started with this game is not low, and if players who haven't played it before go to explore, they can easily trigger various damages at the beginning, which is very disadvantageous for us.

First, let's introduce some of the starting attribute points for this game. Based on the current situation, the best allocation is 4323 (in the order of Intellect, Psyche, Physique, and Motorics). Or its variants, such as the empathetic build 3423 or the brute force build 3324. Physique should be at least 2. Intellect allows us to gain more inspiration when reasoning, making it easier to get hints. Psyche makes it easier to gain others' favor in conversations, thus making it easier to have preferred options.

Motorics allows us to discover more hidden details, such as footprints or dropped weapons. Physique, on the surface, is less helpful than the previous ones, after all, we are detectives, not fighters. So, at the start, players can adjust their attribute points according to their preferences. This deduction-style game incorporates D&D settings; the detective we play has many hidden abilities, and many options in the game come with success rates. Some failures may cause damage but might also increase certain abilities, such as Resolve, which becomes very useful from the mid-game onwards.

The success rate of these events generally depends on two factors. The first factor is our own attributes; most event success rates are related to our inherent attributes, the higher the attribute, the higher the probability of triggering success. The second is the completion degree of the event; sometimes, the occurrence of an event is directly related to the completion degree of the current scene. If the event itself is not highly completed, then the player's success rate will also be low. Unless there is a specific reason, it is recommended that players do not gamble on events with low success rates.

At the beginning, there will be several dialogues, which may seem absurd. This is because the protagonist we control is amnesiac and in a drunken state, hence the confusion. After waking up in the chaos, the first thing we do is to get our tie from the fan, where we trigger an event. The direct chance of getting the tie is 86%, so we can get it directly. After obtaining it, it will be equipped automatically. Then, it is recommended that players turn on the light, which increases the experience of Resolve, something quite useful for us.

After completing this, we head downstairs, where we can click on three green circles. Triggering here will give us three pieces of information: the first is that our tape has been destroyed by someone, the second is that the tape recorder has been running without a tape, and the third is that our door is locked from the inside, and currently, there's no key to get out. After triggering, we can click on the nearby cabinet, where we can get green shoes, which we equip directly after obtaining them.

Next, we go to the window, where an event will be triggered, mainly analyzing what object hit the window like this. In the end, we conclude it was our other shoe, then we can trigger the task of finding the shoe, and on the ground, we find our pants, from which we find the key, allowing us to leave.

Then, we find clothes on the sofa, enter the bathroom to find a white shirt, and later, the mirror can trigger an event. If players choose successfully here, their appearance will change. If interested, one can save and try it out.

The above is the explanation of the Disco Elysium starting guide. The initial attribute points are relatively important, and the specific point distribution method has been explained in the first paragraph. Afterwards, we need to find our clothes and keys while hungover, before we can go out and continue developing the story.
