Disco Elysium detailed guide Disco Elysium walkthrough

Detective-type games are relatively rare nowadays. Disco Elysium is one of the highly acclaimed works in this genre. The game's visuals may seem somewhat absurd, but the overall plot is captivating, with a tight and engaging storyline, which are all strengths of the game. Below, we will provide a detailed guide for Disco Elysium. Many players have a high interest in this game, but it is not easy to play. A lot of players face significant challenges right from the start, and without a guide, most players would find the game very frustrating. Below, we will share the walkthrough for the game.

The game starts with a rather abstract conversation, which players can ignore. What players need to pay most attention to at the beginning is the initial attribute distribution. There are four visible attributes in the game. Each of these attributes has its own characteristics, among which agility is the least prioritized; keeping it at 2 points is sufficient, as we are detectives, not brutes. Intelligence and endurance are more lacking in the early stages, so you can allocate 4 points to each of these, and 2 points to physique, which can be gradually increased later. This is how you can distribute your points at the start. The game features many attributes, and these will come into play during events.

Given the game's heavy D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) elements, some seemingly ordinary events might bring unexpected rewards. After triggering the text, we wake up, initially in a state similar to being hungover. At this point, we are in a very muddled state. For the initial ceiling fan event, players can try to take off the tie, as our attribute points give us an 80% success rate for this action. It’s essentially risk-free. After obtaining the tie, players need to turn on the light, although this will cause us great pain, overcoming it will increase our resilience attribute.

This will prove to be very useful later. Once completed, there's no need to do it again, as repeating it won’t gain any additional experience. Next, players can leave and move downwards. First, click on two spots on the ground, revealing that we drank a lot, then seemingly went on a drunken rampage, tearing up tapes and removing the tape from the radio.

Next, players head to the door and confirm that it is locked from the inside. A key is needed to open the door, but currently, we cannot find where the key is. Then, we investigate the shelf next to the door, where we can find a shoe. After trying it on, we find it fits well, indicating it is likely our shoe. Next, we move towards the living room and click on the glass nearby, discovering that it is already broken.

This can trigger an event. This segment is quite long, and the conclusion is that the glass was likely smashed by our shoe, and the other shoe probably fell down below. After reaching this conclusion, our reasoning ability will improve. We can then continue moving, finding a pair of pants on the ground. After putting them on, we can find the key in the pocket, allowing us to use the key to go out.

There's no rush to go out yet. Next, we head to the sofa, where we can find our coat. The coat doesn’t contain any items, so we can put it on directly. Then, we go to the bathroom and directly to the mirror. It is recommended to save here, as an event will be triggered. If we want a better appearance, we can choose the "Superstar" option, but the failure rate is relatively high.

Next, use the key to go out, then move downwards. On the table below, we can find some coins, which, though few, are very important to us. Continue moving downwards, and head inside the balcony, where we can find our other shoe at the very end.

The above is a detailed guide for Disco Elysium. In the early stages of the game, many dialogues are quite abstract, especially the initial dialogue upon entering the game. In fact, this dialogue plays a crucial role later on. In the early stages, players mainly need to find their clothes and learn about the information of nearby characters.
