Disco Elysium, this is a game that players mention quite often nowadays. The gameplay itself is not very difficult to get into, but due to the large amount of text and numerous settings, it also greatly increases the difficulty while being fun. Below is an introduction to the Disco Elysium gameplay. Many players, when starting out, find themselves somewhat confused in many aspects because the game has a lot of hidden elements and tips. If these are not mastered, players will often encounter stuck points or be unable to trigger certain special events later in the game, which can be very frustrating for players.

First, after entering the game, the first thing we need to do is understand the four basic attributes. These four attributes are also the core attributes in the game. Next, I will introduce them in detail. Intelligence affects the player's reasoning, puzzle solving, and dialogue content in the game. Often, having high intelligence allows us to obtain useful clues through investigation. The higher the intelligence, the more information players can gather from dialogues. At the same time, when reasoning, the correct options will appear more easily.
Spirit, this makes our minds clearer, and at the same time, it makes controlling related dialogues and understanding the psychology of NPCs easier. This also allows us to more easily obtain key clues from NPCs. Physique, this is directly linked to our endurance and health. It also enhances our combat abilities, making it a good attribute to consider increasing for players who prefer physical force. Agility can increase your movement speed and interaction efficiency. Among these attributes, intelligence and spirit are the core attributes in the game.

These two are the main attributes that players should focus on. Physique is relatively less important among the attributes; in the early stages, 2-3 points are sufficient. If players are not particularly concerned about travel speed, they can choose not to add much to agility. In the initial allocation of points, we can make intelligence and spirit relatively high, while the other two can be lower. Subsequent point distribution can generally follow this pattern, with physique only needing to be increased if a task has a specific requirement.

In the early stages, it is quite difficult to earn gold. Here’s a small tip: players can consider picking up bottles. If you want to pick up a lot at once, look around for yellow plastic bags. After finding them, you can find many bottles on the ground and in trash cans. Then, go to the convenience store to exchange them for gold. This money can help players solve many problems, such as accommodation fees and daily expenses. When you don't have any gold, you can use this method to obtain some.
In the game, there are actually many secrets and hidden items. These are not visible during normal exploration. We need to hold down the thorough exploration button to search, which allows us to find some hidden clues and items. The most common are various discarded bottles and coins. We should try to maintain this state while moving, although it is a bit slower, it helps us find many hidden items and clues.

Many of the text expressions for triggering plot events in the game are not only long but also very complex. At this time, players should try to read the diary more often, as the diary records these events. Checking the diary is the fastest way to recall forgotten dialogues and plot points. Players should check their diaries frequently.

In the game, time is very important to us. The flow of time in the game is determined by investigations or conversations. Some events require a specific time to trigger, so players need to be aware of the current time to know what to do when.

The above is an introduction to the Disco Elysium gameplay. Although the initial difficulty of the game is not high, there are many details that players need to pay attention to. The overall difficulty of the game is not low, especially for some special events, which require certain conditions to be met to trigger.
