Except for Electrochemistry. Electrochemistry is oddly absent in the whole exchange, even though three of the people present have a party in mind (technically speaking) and one of them is female (technically speaking).

@@icevlad148 What happens? Just finished the game and had a very low chance on warning him and got a critical success. Does he simply die and game over or what? Haven't been able to find any video with failure happening.
I failed my Kim save too with a high chance, got the killer to confess with Cuno, saw the phasmid, then stopped and reloaded before the Tribunal. It felt completely wrong finishing the case without Kim and I kept thinking about that one failed check. Glad I went back and redid it :)
20:27 If you listen to this you can hear it clearly. Another nice detail from this game; after taking the bullet, when Harrier is clinging to life, faintly in the background you can hear what sounds like a woman's voice saying "Harry". It's likely that this is Dora's voice haunting him, even when he's near his final moments, showing her powerful influence on his psyche.
The way Empathy almost *begs*, 'Peace... please...' made me choke up a bit. Underneath everything your character goes through, his heart begs for this last mercy. That'a Disco as fuck.
Had this happen but half said that empathy was wrong and they would not be reason with going to shoot any minute and if you ask further, who is right empathy and says half
Hah, I was called a liberal traditionalist racist women hater, who drinks on the job, but I'm a fine damm detective an then some lmaooo, nah but needless to say I didn't see the empathy character much for the game, it was just me and conceptualization.savoir made some appearances.
Omg, right?, it felt like we were(the players) actually right there, i was genuinely scared for my life, but still pulled it together, it was literally amazing!!!
The respect gained from Titus and the Hardie boys from this scene felt real. After you take a bullet for them, how they accept you as their own, and try to protect you. Amazing story telling
@@antondavidovic3996 in my playthrough only 3 members survived but i managed to kill all mercenarys. titus respected me too and offered to join the hardies. my only mistake was not being able to save the gardener i think
21:14 - This scene was so tense when I first played it. I heard that Kim could die when I was reading about this game and thought that this was the moment it happened. "The woman is gone. So is Kim." I thought he'd died, he'd given his life to save mine. I was so relieved when I woke up to Kim's voice saying "Sunrise, Parabellum." Wow, just wow. This whole game is such an experience. It's such a shame that there won't be a Disco Elysium 2.
De Paule: *Hellbent on shooting the RCM and Union, always trying to start the fight* Also De Paule: *Misses a nearly point blank shot and gets killed by someone who didnt even see her*
something i just realized coming back to this is De Paule is actually the only one to kill anyone in the gunfight. both Ruud and Korty goes down and De Paule kills 3+ of everyone there. really shows just how dire the situation is
Often, those who are the most hawkish are the least prepared for real combat. There's a reason why most people who actually understand how to fight will teach you how to end a fight quickly, _but tell you NOT to start one._
holy shit you can. i had to turn the volume up so high that the main dialogue hurt to listen to but she totally does whisper "harry" at you as you passout. spooky as fuck
I never noticed that Harry makes a finger gun with his off-hand when he fires. His entire form when performing the quick-draw is like he's just wielding a pair of 9mm finger guns.
"Baby blue, yeah... Like someone fucked up and put a baby's eyes on a grown man" (at 14:28) is one of the many lines I think about a lot from this game
I also appreciate Titus coming to your aid, he could've ran. They all could've when shit hit the fan; but they didn't. Even if they didn't trust you entirely, they knew in that moment you were there to help them. What a perfect game.
I failed that suggestion at 10:24, so I didn't get to hear all the background info about the hanged man or learn that they were brothers. The guy just got mad and was going to shoot, so I had to go for the hand/eye coordination one and shoot him, which was great. That was a hell of a shot, a hell of a shot! Everything was the same after, too, thankfully. I love how Titus shouted to protect the cop, there was a very interesting character development there. This was very, very tense altogether. My tribunal happened late at night and it was snowing too, which made everything extra bleak, gloomy and beautiful in a way.
Titus was a hard one to crack but once you get to his good side, he is a really good friend. At some point I wanted to join the Hardie Boys after all the things :)
Wait, I thought that shooting him (or attempting to) was the only option in this situation, are there more solutions to this encounter? I have only played the game once so I don't know
@@antondavidovic3996 If you didn't get your gun before the tribunal then you have to dodge instead of shoot. And you can set your necktie on fire and throw that at him instead
I honestly thought he was just gonna drink the sh*t when I bought it and end his life. It saved his life though. I wouldn't have been able to do anything without it. No reaction speed, strength, communication skills. Just the imagination to make an incendiary bomb on a whim.
How are you supposed to know that is even an option? Why would anyone equip the spirits and the tie before the tribunal? Are there hints in the game somewhere? Seems like you have to know it from the internet ... or maybe made an actual molotov in real life first
@@sewerface Well I was playing the whole game with that tie on me as in it's description there is a part where is written that the time for the tie will come. Also I had a bottle with blue alcohol.
I love how there's a difference between "The lieutenant trusts you" and "Kim 'truly' trusts you." Kim doesn't just trust you as a lieutenant and an officer of the law, he trusts you as a person, Kim to Harry.
My heart was pounding when I went through this part in my own playthrough, like I was actually in danger. I got a slightly worse outcome, 4 of the Hardie Boys died, but Kim and I made it, and we took down the mercs. What a wonderful game.
Just beat my first playthrough last week. I was convulsing in my fucking computer chair. Every dice roll, every skill check, was like I was pulling a slot machine with maximum bet.
It was an incredibly tense, yet amazing moment for me too. I failed pretty much every but the one to warn Kim, but thankfully wore the armor, resulting in me and Kim making it out injured, but only two of the Hardie Boys surviving.
3:42 Words to live by -- they come to mind all the time since my playthrough. I tried not to cry hearing this. This is all any *sane* person in a defensive civil/military service role could ever want. None of us want to die. Everyone in a combat situation wants to go home, see the people they love, sleep in a warm bed. It's a shame peace can't always be the answer. A damn shame.
@THESlavBeing Because the commanders making decisions regarding Corp-level element movements usually aren't infield. I doubt anybody on the ground in Ukraine was involved in making the decision to invade. Their senior leaders are likely sitting cozy, somewhere in St. Petersburg.
@Bwack Beedows dozens of russian generals and high level officers have died in Ukraine. However, what I meant is why do russian soliders keep believing their propaganda and willingly, without a question go and kill and die in foreign land.
@THESlavBeing I'm not sure you understand how command works in an operational sense; I say that not to offend, but to respectfully inform. You have general officers in the field, yes, but positional authority is what determines who actually makes those decisions. You'll have a cabinet of politicians, the Commander-In-Chief and a small number of top brass forming plans and deciding on massive movements of forces. At that level, it's more a matter of what seat you fill, rather than the brass on your collar. The generals in the field don't have as much say as someone sitting at the table. As for the propaganda angle, Russia is more or less a police state. Many political dissidents have been killed or silenced miraculously over the years since the USSR fell. If the people are fed nothing but lies, then that's all most of them will believe. It's sad.
@Bwack Beedows thats true. However, what's even sadder, is that there are plenty of russians on the internet, seeing the news, knowing the truth, and yet still cheering on destruction of Ukrainian cities and genocide of Ukrainian population. I've seen russians celebrating execution of Ukrainian POW and calling for "more content like this". In my opinion, these people (which are a majority of russians) are worse than citizens of Third Reich, because the latter didn't have access to any real information that isn't totalitarian propaganda. But russians do, and they know everything.
This scene is perfect. Titus is perfect here, I love how he stays and protects you, finally respecting you after all the mess you had to deal with at first. Kim is perfect. He makes that impossible shot and instantly intuites what you are trying to tell him and shoots Paula. He then immediately sits by you and starts desperately trying to save your life. I won't hear it any other way than that Kim was glued to your bedside until you awoke, all so he could deliver that killer line. "Sunrise Parabellum." And the skills are perfect here, EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. trying with every fibre of their being to keep you and everyone else alive, they are on absolute top form. Also, the character designs, art, music, and voice acting and perfect. This entire scene gave me frisson from beginning to end. I was entraced by the beauty of it, it's so humanly raw and just.. gorgeous. ✨️
I remember my first time experiencing this moment. I could feel the tension in my chest. I remember at this moment really taking my time to carefully reply. The writing was so well done the characters so well written. “She doesn’t seem to understand the severity of the situation” chills. “Peace always peace it has worked thus far. Start with the first ideas you have then work your way down from there… please” I love this game.
this was the only scene where my mum looked up how to do it right while she was playing. she wanted as few people to die as possible - she played through it once and got the best possible outcome, but was sure she had done something wrong. she so wanted to save everyone she could. we went through it step by step and reloaded on failed checks because she wanted Kim, the boys, everyone to be alright. it's painfully real that in the end people will die and there's no way around it. all you can do is your best. she didn't have every single dialogue option, you can still get the best outcome for this scene without all the facts. neither of us could watch when Harry shouted to Kim to avoid de Paul's shot - we only looked when the narration confirmed Kim had taken the gun. I still get butterflies when I watch it even though I know he'll be OK, and won't even die if it fails... just the idea of Kim getting hurt makes me feel a bit sick lol it really is a scene you wish you could experience again for the first time over and over and over... I like to introduce people to this game just because I know people will get to this point and will get to live through it. Through all of the game actually. it's something people should experience, I think.
I have no explanation for it, but Titus saying "The cop! Protect the cop, he's down!" makes me tear up every single time. I don't like Titus or the Hardie boys (same with Chapo), nor do I think he was well voice-acted, but it's a powerful line for some reason or another.
None of the Chapo members came back for the Final Cut, neither did Dasha Nekrasova of Red Scare who originally voiced Klaasje. Their voice lines were fully replaced by other actors. I kind of liked Felix Biederman's roles, I think his lisp gave the Scab/Kortenaer a comical edge that somehow made him even more threatening during the Tribunal (Maybe just because his "LOINCLOTH FUCKTH" was so spitty and unstable sounding) but otherwise the casting changes were a massive improvement. Virgil Texas' performance as the Smoker on the Balcony in the original was the stand out worst acting in the entire game IMO.
It was 4 years since the RCM left the city to rot and Titus and his boys stepped up as best they could, in that time they witnessed your massive bender, suicide attempts, etc. But also they also managed to witness Harry remaking himself into a new person determined to put in the work, write wrongs, do their best to bring justice to this area and step in between a group of killers and his people. It is the biggest show of reciprocity you can witness from him. You were willing to lay down your life for them, he understands this, and realizes he is honor bound to do the same to you now that you need his help
Love how the climax of this game is a single gunfight. When in most games it would be a huge war spectacle or something yet this game makes its climax way better despite being small scale. The internal dialogue was so good ngl
Uug this game is so god damn good, the physical copy just came out for console, please buy it and support these guys so we can get more games like this
I got it for Christmas on Xbox One and I loved it so much that I bought it again for PC so I could edit my stats so I could fail and succeed as much as I wanted so I could see as much of the game as possible.
Don't support this company anymore, they fired a whole bunch of the people that were involved with the development of the game. A bunch of moneymen and investors have ruined it. Support the individual projects of those people they let go though, they're gonna need the support of the community.
Having Lizzie die in my second playthrough, i realized how naive she was, all this time. She really thought that, like Evrart, she could solve everything with words and suggestion, death wrong. And she paid the price by still thinking she had for some reason lawyer up in this incredibly dangerous situation, that and my Harry not being the smartest guy. Even then Harry had no responsibility to handle the mistakes of others.
@@likmijnreet4542 She might have been. Does that mean she was worthless? That her death isn't a waste? Weren't we all useless at some points of our lives? Would our deaths be welcome, then?
The hardy boys talk a big game the whole time acting tough and insulting the cops trying to avoid bloodshed but even Titus starts pissing himself and freaking out when their up again actual killers and suddenly alone out there, no union backup and their tactics aren't working. They were all idiots, don't just pin Elizabeth for all the stupidity there's enough from tge rest of them to go around
Rethoric saying she doesn't understand the severity of the situation proves what Evrat says earlier: She's an educated middle-class girl larping as guerrilla soldier. She's out of her element. In complete contrast to Titus, who despite being a dick and hot headed during the entirity of the game here he's colected and level headed. He *knows* what kind of people he's dealing with, knowledge that just comes from experience.
I can hardly remember this scene. I remember getting shot in the leg and protecting Kim but the Hardie boys just disappeared. I didn't see them die, just gone forever.
@@super_7710 They're downstairs where they usually hangout, but most of them die. They kill the surviving mercs if you mess up the fight. In the best case Titus and the lawyer girl live.
I think this shootout moment was a privilege for me as both a player and a reader. It's unlikely that your first game was Disco elysium. Most likely, you came to this game with extensive gaming experience behind you. But damn, how fucking amazing it is to feel the tension of this moment of shooting, where you don’t even see the enemy in the face, but you feel your finger on the trigger! An indescribable feeling.
This is such an inversion of the Ruby encounter. Its a great lesson on the ethic of restraint. When talking to Ruby, you get increases to the check to disable the machine when you talk to her. But as you talk to her and piece everything together, you learn why attacking there is not a good idea, but you are "tricked" into going for it as you keep getting positive modifiers. Here, as you try to talk the tribunal down, you get points for throwing the leader off balance, and as you keep talking you learn there is no negotiation, so now you know its the right time to use force. Very high concept.
Somehow got this first try. Guess being a FALN head paid off. Was preparing for a shootout with Ruby and left all the motorics clothes on. Alas, even this best outcome has so many dead.
I also finished the game twice with Cuno, it’s annoying can’t get success on this scene. I currently play on hardcore mode and i’m almost near of this scene. Wish me luck.
Having to contest with your Limbic System as it begs you to give up and find peace in death was one of the most upsetting and heartbreaking things in a game of heartbreaking moments. But the lines following it are some of the most beautiful things you will ever hear, realising that you survived, and you will live to fight another day.
07:00 you can get a passive success here of difficulty 15 from internal imperium that prompts you to sacrifice yourself and tell them you did it (though you are not sure if it was you)
For all Harry’s failures, he came through when it mattered the most. The tribunal scene the first time I played this game is really what made me fall in love. When you first roll the dice to shoot that scumbag was insanely tense. Need to do another play through soon.
This game was just fantastic, its one of the greatest pieces of art I think I'll ever see and thankfully experienced. That check to warn Kim had me on the very edge, the relief when I succeeded was amazing. I cant emphasize enough how brilliant this is as art, it truly makes you feel, you are Harry and like him you are chaotic: You laugh at this world, you mourn it, you hope for it along with the characters. Not once is your intelligence insulted, it doesn't tell you what is right other than what is universally right in every context. I went into this game blind, not knowing anything and it was one of the best things I have ever done. But if somehow you never played the game and got here and are reading my comment, wait a while until you have forgotten this video and then play it with no expectations other than playing thru a game and I promise you wont regret it.
oh god i almost had it... but SOMEHOW with 97% chance of success of protecting Kim at the end, I failed... What the hell. and my last save was before entering the feld building... .f...
When Harry is shot, option 4 is the cannon option to me. Him admitting to Kim that he made it all up. That's what I believe Harry was doing the entire time.
I just finished this arc of the game and HOLY SHIT WAS THIS AMAZING. I had already spent most of my skillpoints panicking in the Ruby encounter thinking I'd die and specking my Rhetoric so she wouldn't off herself. Had a 40% jump to 80% and saved her. Before that however, I had a save state which was broken when I was talking to Gary who I was in mid convo (about the cuirass I noticed from a perception check) when my power went out. When I got back I accidentally talked to Lena and ended the encounter with Gary which I didn't notice bc it was a different day on a different session. Anyway, I had to replay an entire hour from a previous state just so I could take the cuirass from him and THANK GOD I did. The armor saved me when I failed the 54% reaction speed check. I had an 87% check on the hanged man talk, 47% check to shoot Korty on the hand/eye coordination check and a 60% check on the authority to save Kim. I passed everything and was practically crying when I was able to save Kim. The aftermath was very sad but a solemn reminder of how amazing the story telling is in this game. I lost four of the Union but killed all three of the mercenaries. P.S. Rene's death was also out of the blue and wow did that whiplash me.
When i got the ending, it said six dead- three Hardies (angus, the old one who's name escapes me, and glen) and all three RCM. That +2 'Kim REALLY trusts you' came in clutch, still fucking balled my eyes out when Kim woke me up after i'd gotten shot twice, lmao. So not ideal but still pretty fuckin good, apparently. I would've kinda of liked to cruise with cuno, though.
Man watching this part with a brainy character seems so much interesting. Beat the game on hardcore with high MOT and PSY and Misters Rhetoric and Logic were silent.
Love me a gym teacher build. Nothing but torque dork facts from Interfacing, Endurance reminding us that we're in great shape constantly, Physical Instrument telling us that we can probably kick everyone's ass and serving as our "Coach", Hand/Eye Coordination with ALL the gun facts, Half Light being a paranoid fuck telling you that you're always in danger, Composure telling Half Light to chill, Savvy teaching us about hustle grinding, and the constant city-scrying from Shivers that tells you accurate information that you really shouldn't know but somehow just do. It's a fun way to play, honestly. Ruby and the Tribunal checks were super easy even on HARD CORE!!
Just played through this today - decided to rush straight in and failed to quell Kortenaer's aggression. Elizabeth ended up getting shot dead, which was a bummer. When the options started pointing to taking physical action, my hand/eye coordination skill was minimal, so I was like 'oh I'm so dead'. But then because I was wearing the chest armour, I survived. What DID kill me however was only being on one morale point, and pondering if Harry could have made a better case to Kortenaer while talking to Kim, leading to Harry quitting. I think considering we'd just seen Ruby unalive herself minutes before, that was a great and fitting end to my character's story tbh. Buzzing to replay again!
never played this game, and first video i am looking about it, i actually really like how the perceptions and thoughs of the character are voiced/ works its seems actually well done !
Acabo de terminar mi segunda partida, quise hacerla con empatia a tope, dudo que haya tenido que ver pero con tan solo un punto en "Coordinación mano ojo" y el abrigo de PinBall logré acertar el primer disparo, momentos mágicos que sólo Disco Elysium puede crear
This whole scene was magnificent but I genuinely started to cry around 22:23 My Harry had been trying so hard to become someone new, someone better that when I him refuse to go down, to drift away - I was ecstatic with joy, good tears shed because it wasn't over. We still had a case to solve.
This ISN'T the best possible outcome, actually. But you need to play with a 5/5/1/3 build with Shivers as the signature skill to unlock the real best possible outcome here, and if requires passing a PSY 4 check in the first ~5 minutes of the game (it's not timer dependent) and you can't pass the other pre-checks involved here with any other spec. If you don't obtain the speaking tie, you can't throw a bomb here, which makes all the difference in the world
@@matejspevacek1226 -Horrific- Beautiful Necktie was Harry's *real* honourable partner. It sacrificed itself in the line of duty to save Detective Costeau/Tequila Sunset. It got like 7000 honour points for that deed alone. It deserves a funeral alongside the crashed motor carriage.
@@likmijnreet4542 It actually does have use. You even get free loot from Le Revacholerie if you ask her where to find some.

@deathtoyoutubeandtwitterbu5865 By crazy shit do you mean the fact that Revachol itself somehow knows that the city is going to be a nuclear wasteland in less than a century? Or is it just the fact that the actual city is talking to you and it sounds like a provocative French woman?
the first time I played this scene I got one of the better outcomes despite having pretty low chances with most of the skill checks, and it felt like my heart was beating at 120 beats per minute the entire time
On my first try i choose not to shoot thinking i could smooth talk my way out of this. Didn't work and then when I'm down kim is about to get shot and i see an authority check, one of my dump stat with the ledger of failure equipped (-2), i audibly screamed "no!" Unlike harry who couldn't. I didn't immediately reloaded to live with my pretty big mistakes in the form of cuno
After failing to talk down anyone and everyone, including Ruby from killing herself and Gardener, I fired first successfully and dodged Ruud's shot against awful odds. But I was never more terrified of getting a bad roll at 92% with saving Kim. Success, he lived. I've never been more afraid for another man's life than him.
I leave it here for the info: Another nice detail from this game; after taking the bullet, when Harry is clinging to life, faintly in the background you can hear what sounds like a woman's voice saying "Harry". Dora's voice haunting him, even when he's near his final moments, showing her powerful influence on his psyche.
I've always thought it was weird that the narration describes Ruud as "not human" after he gets shot. To me, one of the strong-points of this scene is the notion it presents that having empathy for and humanizing your enemies enables you to understand and engage with them better, even in circumstances of violence. To declare that Ruud is beyond humanity really undercuts that theme.
maybe they describe his sounds as not human to really drive home the brutality? i can make one hell of a bird impression, that's a pretty non-human sound they also describe him as weeping under the helmet in his introduction, so he's not completely de-humanized
It's disappointing that I put all my points into conversation only for none of that to matter in this situation. I never found my gun in this game. Now I'm regretting it.
@@Ozzianman I also didn't find a gun (except the old broken one), I met Ruby but I let her go when she tried to shot herself and I don't remember any point of this scene where gun was mentioned
@@bingly338 Nice, RUclips deleted my comment. If Ruby deletes herself you get her gun. As for Raphael's gun (His name is Raphael Ambrosius Costeau and nobody can change my mind), you find it in a side investigation with a funny yet sad outcome.
I got this same outcome, though I have to say I had the armored breast plate to tank the first shot, as well as help from a horrible friend instead of actually shooting the dude. I thought I fucked up horribly, but glad to know I didn't.

This scene was hands down one of my best game experiences. God I wish I could play this with my memory erased.
Omg, right?, it felt like we were(the players) actually right there, i was genuinely scared for my life, but still pulled it together, it was literally amazing!!!
Dude I got shot twice and lost 4 guys in the union ...... it was a total shit show
Want to erase memory? Perhaps try drinking and drugs into oblivion like our lovely detective in this game lol
@@the1andonlytitch same with me at least kim didn't die though
I just finished it right now. It was so intense and beautiful. Totally unexpected
The respect gained from Titus and the Hardie boys from this scene felt real. After you take a bullet for them, how they accept you as their own, and try to protect you. Amazing story telling
Unless you fail the skill checks and more than half of them die, then it utterly sucks...
Yeah, I wasn't keen on Titus at first, and he died on my first playthrough, but damn it's satisfying to keep him alive on my second.
@@antondavidovic3996 in my playthrough only 3 members survived but i managed to kill all mercenarys. titus respected me too and offered to join the hardies. my only mistake was not being able to save the gardener i think
@@bruh_0955 I believe the most you can save are only 3. The rest of them die no matter what. Not including lizz
i tried to be diplomatic
and only saved kim in the end
i need fucking help
I think what gets me shivers down my spine everytime is when Kim says " God, please..." Such a great performance.
21:14 - This scene was so tense when I first played it. I heard that Kim could die when I was reading about this game and thought that this was the moment it happened. "The woman is gone. So is Kim." I thought he'd died, he'd given his life to save mine. I was so relieved when I woke up to Kim's voice saying "Sunrise, Parabellum."
Wow, just wow. This whole game is such an experience. It's such a shame that there won't be a Disco Elysium 2.
Kim can't die. Though he can get severely wounded, and if he is, he is gone for the rest of the game.
Mi Kim quedó en el hospital y no pudo ver cómo resolví el caso :(

Most emotionally affecting +2 buff in gaming history.
De Paule: *Hellbent on shooting the RCM and Union, always trying to start the fight*
Also De Paule: *Misses a nearly point blank shot and gets killed by someone who didnt even see her*
She got CAKE though
She was a drunk radio operator. It makes sense that she was all bark and no bite.
something i just realized coming back to this is De Paule is actually the only one to kill anyone in the gunfight. both Ruud and Korty goes down and De Paule kills 3+ of everyone there. really shows just how dire the situation is
Often, those who are the most hawkish are the least prepared for real combat.
There's a reason why most people who actually understand how to fight will teach you how to end a fight quickly, _but tell you NOT to start one._
Poor glen
Holy shit while you’re shot and you hear closely you can hear doras voice calling your name.

@@ayboganhasan3734 20:28 ish is where I can clearly hear it
@@toob46 hardcore to the mega
holy shit you can. i had to turn the volume up so high that the main dialogue hurt to listen to but she totally does whisper "harry" at you as you passout. spooky as fuck
@@vibez321 You're right...Poor Harry
I never noticed that Harry makes a finger gun with his off-hand when he fires. His entire form when performing the quick-draw is like he's just wielding a pair of 9mm finger guns.
Holy shit I just realized that, he's pretending like he's dual wielding
"Baby blue, yeah... Like someone fucked up and put a baby's eyes on a grown man" (at 14:28) is one of the many lines I think about a lot from this game
Right? Why does it hurt so much
I cannot believe I got the best outcome on my first shot. I thought anyone dying was a bad end, apparently I was dead wrong.
I also appreciate Titus coming to your aid, he could've ran. They all could've when shit hit the fan; but they didn't. Even if they didn't trust you entirely, they knew in that moment you were there to help them. What a perfect game.
Bro I failed like a 90% logic check to stop him shooting Elizabeth. I think my first game only 2 union guys weren't shot.
Best line is saying that you kill killers and then you can say it again to Kim and he's like "yeah you did warn them of that"
Those Mercs “kill killers” too
@@Garl_Vinland Yeah, they also kill and rape defenceless people. But you specifically "kill killers".
@@Lord-Skeletor were those folk in the church Killers?
@@Garl_Vinland No, that's why it is haunting him for life
@@Lord-Skeletor Apparently it haunted Lely too. Thats why Harry relates to him.
All actors did a terrific job in this game, but Korty wow, he did an amazing job!
I think Ruud's performance is underrated. It really *sells* that he's a hoarse half-dead psycho.
not all did a good job xd for example the researcher lady in the church, was one of the worst voices in the entire game
He gains the RIGHT TO WORK.
@@UrMum-tp8dgshe is a researcher, hence boring and not fun. Pretty fitting, no?
@@UrMum-tp8dgshe is a researcher, hence boring and not fun. Pretty fitting, no?
I failed that suggestion at 10:24, so I didn't get to hear all the background info about the hanged man or learn that they were brothers. The guy just got mad and was going to shoot, so I had to go for the hand/eye coordination one and shoot him, which was great. That was a hell of a shot, a hell of a shot!
Everything was the same after, too, thankfully. I love how Titus shouted to protect the cop, there was a very interesting character development there.
This was very, very tense altogether. My tribunal happened late at night and it was snowing too, which made everything extra bleak, gloomy and beautiful in a way.
Yeah i absolutely hated him when I talked to him for the first time and then after the shootout he gave me respect and I actually started liking him
@@redngold0731 i felt the same way, he was definitely a character that grew on me and that I actually came to like by the end.
Titus was a hard one to crack but once you get to his good side, he is a really good friend. At some point I wanted to join the Hardie Boys after all the things :)
Wait, I thought that shooting him (or attempting to) was the only option in this situation, are there more solutions to this encounter? I have only played the game once so I don't know
@@antondavidovic3996 If you didn't get your gun before the tribunal then you have to dodge instead of shoot.
And you can set your necktie on fire and throw that at him instead
17:40 God, please moment
It's cooler when you use the "Spirit Bomb" to burn that captain down not shoot him. More chaotic.
Yep! Went down that route. Burnt him to a crisp. So satisfying
I honestly thought he was just gonna drink the sh*t when I bought it and end his life. It saved his life though. I wouldn't have been able to do anything without it. No reaction speed, strength, communication skills. Just the imagination to make an incendiary bomb on a whim.
How are you supposed to know that is even an option? Why would anyone equip the spirits and the tie before the tribunal? Are there hints in the game somewhere? Seems like you have to know it from the internet ... or maybe made an actual molotov in real life first
@@sewerface Well I was playing the whole game with that tie on me as in it's description there is a part where is written that the time for the tie will come.
Also I had a bottle with blue alcohol.
@@sewerface Also if you have the tie equipped it talks to you and you get some hints from it
I love how there's a difference between "The lieutenant trusts you" and "Kim 'truly' trusts you." Kim doesn't just trust you as a lieutenant and an officer of the law, he trusts you as a person, Kim to Harry.
For me, this is one of the greates moments on videogames. The sequence was perfectly builded, really thrilling.
I just played this now, I've never been so utterly gripped by a scene in a video game. This whole game was an absolute treat to experience
"Shoot him in the mouth before he gets you" I think this line should belong to Half-light, not hand-eye coordination lol
To be fair, the two get along very well
Or Reaction Speed perhaps
Yeah but at the same time it doesn't get more Hand-Eye Coordination than aiming and shooting
My heart was pounding when I went through this part in my own playthrough, like I was actually in danger. I got a slightly worse outcome, 4 of the Hardie Boys died, but Kim and I made it, and we took down the mercs. What a wonderful game.
omg yes! I had a genuine adrenaline rush throughout!
Just beat my first playthrough last week. I was convulsing in my fucking computer chair. Every dice roll, every skill check, was like I was pulling a slot machine with maximum bet.
It was an incredibly tense, yet amazing moment for me too. I failed pretty much every but the one to warn Kim, but thankfully wore the armor, resulting in me and Kim making it out injured, but only two of the Hardie Boys surviving.
3:42
Words to live by -- they come to mind all the time since my playthrough. I tried not to cry hearing this. This is all any *sane* person in a defensive civil/military service role could ever want.
None of us want to die. Everyone in a combat situation wants to go home, see the people they love, sleep in a warm bed. It's a shame peace can't always be the answer. A damn shame.
Then I don't know why russians invading Ukraine keep fighting after a year of full scale invasion.
@THESlavBeing Because the commanders making decisions regarding Corp-level element movements usually aren't infield. I doubt anybody on the ground in Ukraine was involved in making the decision to invade.
Their senior leaders are likely sitting cozy, somewhere in St. Petersburg.
@Bwack Beedows dozens of russian generals and high level officers have died in Ukraine.
However, what I meant is why do russian soliders keep believing their propaganda and willingly, without a question go and kill and die in foreign land.
@THESlavBeing I'm not sure you understand how command works in an operational sense; I say that not to offend, but to respectfully inform.
You have general officers in the field, yes, but positional authority is what determines who actually makes those decisions. You'll have a cabinet of politicians, the Commander-In-Chief and a small number of top brass forming plans and deciding on massive movements of forces.
At that level, it's more a matter of what seat you fill, rather than the brass on your collar. The generals in the field don't have as much say as someone sitting at the table.
As for the propaganda angle, Russia is more or less a police state. Many political dissidents have been killed or silenced miraculously over the years since the USSR fell. If the people are fed nothing but lies, then that's all most of them will believe. It's sad.
@Bwack Beedows thats true.
However, what's even sadder, is that there are plenty of russians on the internet, seeing the news, knowing the truth, and yet still cheering on destruction of Ukrainian cities and genocide of Ukrainian population. I've seen russians celebrating execution of Ukrainian POW and calling for "more content like this". In my opinion, these people (which are a majority of russians) are worse than citizens of Third Reich, because the latter didn't have access to any real information that isn't totalitarian propaganda. But russians do, and they know everything.
This scene is perfect.
Titus is perfect here, I love how he stays and protects you, finally respecting you after all the mess you had to deal with at first.
Kim is perfect. He makes that impossible shot and instantly intuites what you are trying to tell him and shoots Paula. He then immediately sits by you and starts desperately trying to save your life. I won't hear it any other way than that Kim was glued to your bedside until you awoke, all so he could deliver that killer line. "Sunrise Parabellum."
And the skills are perfect here, EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. trying with every fibre of their being to keep you and everyone else alive, they are on absolute top form.
Also, the character designs, art, music, and voice acting and perfect. This entire scene gave me frisson from beginning to end. I was entraced by the beauty of it, it's so humanly raw and just.. gorgeous. ✨️
Isn't it funny how a moment like this was way more intense than most action packed scenes from other games and even movies?
That’s cause the writing in this game is out fucking standing
I remember my first time experiencing this moment. I could feel the tension in my chest. I remember at this moment really taking my time to carefully reply. The writing was so well done the characters so well written. “She doesn’t seem to understand the severity of the situation” chills.
“Peace always peace it has worked thus far. Start with the first ideas you have then work your way down from there… please” I love this game.
God, De Paule's first line is so chilling. Amazing voice acting
Accent from northern England too 😳 extra creepy
@@mitrahispana4119Northumberland
this was the only scene where my mum looked up how to do it right while she was playing. she wanted as few people to die as possible - she played through it once and got the best possible outcome, but was sure she had done something wrong. she so wanted to save everyone she could.
we went through it step by step and reloaded on failed checks because she wanted Kim, the boys, everyone to be alright. it's painfully real that in the end people will die and there's no way around it. all you can do is your best.
she didn't have every single dialogue option, you can still get the best outcome for this scene without all the facts. neither of us could watch when Harry shouted to Kim to avoid de Paul's shot - we only looked when the narration confirmed Kim had taken the gun. I still get butterflies when I watch it even though I know he'll be OK, and won't even die if it fails... just the idea of Kim getting hurt makes me feel a bit sick lol
it really is a scene you wish you could experience again for the first time over and over and over... I like to introduce people to this game just because I know people will get to this point and will get to live through it. Through all of the game actually. it's something people should experience, I think.
You can very faintly hear Harry's ex-wife whispering his name after the gunshot... What an insane detail.
I have no explanation for it, but Titus saying "The cop! Protect the cop, he's down!" makes me tear up every single time. I don't like Titus or the Hardie boys (same with Chapo), nor do I think he was well voice-acted, but it's a powerful line for some reason or another.
None of the Chapo members came back for the Final Cut, neither did Dasha Nekrasova of Red Scare who originally voiced Klaasje.
Their voice lines were fully replaced by other actors. I kind of liked Felix Biederman's roles, I think his lisp gave the Scab/Kortenaer a comical edge that somehow made him even more threatening during the Tribunal (Maybe just because his "LOINCLOTH FUCKTH" was so spitty and unstable sounding) but otherwise the casting changes were a massive improvement.
Virgil Texas' performance as the Smoker on the Balcony in the original was the stand out worst acting in the entire game IMO.
It was 4 years since the RCM left the city to rot and Titus and his boys stepped up as best they could, in that time they witnessed your massive bender, suicide attempts, etc. But also they also managed to witness Harry remaking himself into a new person determined to put in the work, write wrongs, do their best to bring justice to this area and step in between a group of killers and his people. It is the biggest show of reciprocity you can witness from him. You were willing to lay down your life for them, he understands this, and realizes he is honor bound to do the same to you now that you need his help
Lol at the chapo thing. You have a similar issue as Harry: can't figure out what's real
Titus sounds way better here than the original in my opinion
@@MrCruuush Perfect assessment; thanks for posting it.
Love how the climax of this game is a single gunfight. When in most games it would be a huge war spectacle or something yet this game makes its climax way better despite being small scale. The internal dialogue was so good ngl

Don't support this company anymore, they fired a whole bunch of the people that were involved with the development of the game. A bunch of moneymen and investors have ruined it. Support the individual projects of those people they let go though, they're gonna need the support of the community.
Having Lizzie die in my second playthrough, i realized how naive she was, all this time. She really thought that, like Evrart, she could solve everything with words and suggestion, death wrong. And she paid the price by still thinking she had for some reason lawyer up in this incredibly dangerous situation, that and my Harry not being the smartest guy. Even then Harry had no responsibility to handle the mistakes of others.
she was kinda useless
@@likmijnreet4542 She might have been. Does that mean she was worthless? That her death isn't a waste?
Weren't we all useless at some points of our lives? Would our deaths be welcome, then?
The hardy boys talk a big game the whole time acting tough and insulting the cops trying to avoid bloodshed but even Titus starts pissing himself and freaking out when their up again actual killers and suddenly alone out there, no union backup and their tactics aren't working. They were all idiots, don't just pin Elizabeth for all the stupidity there's enough from tge rest of them to go around
Rethoric saying she doesn't understand the severity of the situation proves what Evrat says earlier: She's an educated middle-class girl larping as guerrilla soldier. She's out of her element.
In complete contrast to Titus, who despite being a dick and hot headed during the entirity of the game here he's colected and level headed. He *knows* what kind of people he's dealing with, knowledge that just comes from experience.
" _This is death. One more door, baby. One more door._ "
Quote paired with Dexter's dad in your profile pic is sure something. Read it in his voice.
I can hardly remember this scene. I remember getting shot in the leg and protecting Kim but the Hardie boys just disappeared. I didn't see them die, just gone forever.
I finally replayed the game again and I see why I couldn’t remember well. They pretty much do disappear forever.
@@super_7710 They're downstairs where they usually hangout, but most of them die. They kill the surviving mercs if you mess up the fight. In the best case Titus and the lawyer girl live.

The vibes during this scene were immaculate
Here it comes. Death - Chills
I think this shootout moment was a privilege for me as both a player and a reader. It's unlikely that your first game was Disco elysium. Most likely, you came to this game with extensive gaming experience behind you. But damn, how fucking amazing it is to feel the tension of this moment of shooting, where you don’t even see the enemy in the face, but you feel your finger on the trigger! An indescribable feeling.
Man it’s a lot cooler when you don’t fail every single skill check
This is such an inversion of the Ruby encounter. Its a great lesson on the ethic of restraint.
When talking to Ruby, you get increases to the check to disable the machine when you talk to her. But as you talk to her and piece everything together, you learn why attacking there is not a good idea, but you are "tricked" into going for it as you keep getting positive modifiers.
Here, as you try to talk the tribunal down, you get points for throwing the leader off balance, and as you keep talking you learn there is no negotiation, so now you know its the right time to use force. Very high concept.
I don't know, the best version of this involves a blue bottle of alcohol and a horrific necktie.
"God, please!" always give me shivers
I just did this last night with horrible results but for a point a click like game.....this was way too intense. I'm glad I played this game.
Somehow got this first try. Guess being a FALN head paid off. Was preparing for a shootout with Ruby and left all the motorics clothes on. Alas, even this best outcome has so many dead.
Same with the first try. I was like yoooo what every time
Fuck I did that scene twice and the best I got was like 6 hardie boys killed. I sucked xD
I can save titus, only 3 hardie boys kills
I also finished the game twice with Cuno, it’s annoying can’t get success on this scene. I currently play on hardcore mode and i’m almost near of this scene. Wish me luck.

Having to contest with your Limbic System as it begs you to give up and find peace in death was one of the most upsetting and heartbreaking things in a game of heartbreaking moments. But the lines following it are some of the most beautiful things you will ever hear, realising that you survived, and you will live to fight another day.
07:00 you can get a passive success here of difficulty 15 from internal imperium that prompts you to sacrifice yourself and tell them you did it
(though you are not sure if it was you)
After passing the canal the inland empire told me to pull my gun out, so out of fear I also equipped all the armor I have. Ended up saving my life.
For all Harry’s failures, he came through when it mattered the most. The tribunal scene the first time I played this game is really what made me fall in love. When you first roll the dice to shoot that scumbag was insanely tense. Need to do another play through soon.
This game was just fantastic, its one of the greatest pieces of art I think I'll ever see and thankfully experienced. That check to warn Kim had me on the very edge, the relief when I succeeded was amazing. I cant emphasize enough how brilliant this is as art, it truly makes you feel, you are Harry and like him you are chaotic: You laugh at this world, you mourn it, you hope for it along with the characters. Not once is your intelligence insulted, it doesn't tell you what is right other than what is universally right in every context. I went into this game blind, not knowing anything and it was one of the best things I have ever done.
But if somehow you never played the game and got here and are reading my comment, wait a while until you have forgotten this video and then play it with no expectations other than playing thru a game and I promise you wont regret it.
Poor Glen.
The best game ever. Played it months ago and still thinking about it.
I was at a Tribunal without a gun. Needless to say, it went way poorer.
Also yeah, I'm pretty sure i failed all checks 😂
oh god i almost had it... but SOMEHOW with 97% chance of success of protecting Kim at the end, I failed... What the hell. and my last save was before entering the feld building... .f...
@Nachtalb nah, not the same bro. Kim> Cuno
When Harry is shot, option 4 is the cannon option to me. Him admitting to Kim that he made it all up. That's what I believe Harry was doing the entire time.
I wasn't able to learn they were brothers, this makes the event a whole lot more interesting
I just finished this arc of the game and HOLY SHIT WAS THIS AMAZING. I had already spent most of my skillpoints panicking in the Ruby encounter thinking I'd die and specking my Rhetoric so she wouldn't off herself. Had a 40% jump to 80% and saved her.
Before that however, I had a save state which was broken when I was talking to Gary who I was in mid convo (about the cuirass I noticed from a perception check) when my power went out. When I got back I accidentally talked to Lena and ended the encounter with Gary which I didn't notice bc it was a different day on a different session. Anyway, I had to replay an entire hour from a previous state just so I could take the cuirass from him and THANK GOD I did.
The armor saved me when I failed the 54% reaction speed check. I had an 87% check on the hanged man talk, 47% check to shoot Korty on the hand/eye coordination check and a 60% check on the authority to save Kim. I passed everything and was practically crying when I was able to save Kim.
The aftermath was very sad but a solemn reminder of how amazing the story telling is in this game. I lost four of the Union but killed all three of the mercenaries.
P.S. Rene's death was also out of the blue and wow did that whiplash me.
This scene is my fucking Roman Empire.
The sheer power of his delivery in 14:19 is bone chilling
When i got the ending, it said six dead- three Hardies (angus, the old one who's name escapes me, and glen) and all three RCM. That +2 'Kim REALLY trusts you' came in clutch, still fucking balled my eyes out when Kim woke me up after i'd gotten shot twice, lmao. So not ideal but still pretty fuckin good, apparently. I would've kinda of liked to cruise with cuno, though.
Man watching this part with a brainy character seems so much interesting. Beat the game on hardcore with high MOT and PSY and Misters Rhetoric and Logic were silent.
Me too. Spirit bomb all the way though!
Love me a gym teacher build. Nothing but torque dork facts from Interfacing, Endurance reminding us that we're in great shape constantly, Physical Instrument telling us that we can probably kick everyone's ass and serving as our "Coach", Hand/Eye Coordination with ALL the gun facts, Half Light being a paranoid fuck telling you that you're always in danger, Composure telling Half Light to chill, Savvy teaching us about hustle grinding, and the constant city-scrying from Shivers that tells you accurate information that you really shouldn't know but somehow just do. It's a fun way to play, honestly. Ruby and the Tribunal checks were super easy even on HARD CORE!!
Just played through this today - decided to rush straight in and failed to quell Kortenaer's aggression. Elizabeth ended up getting shot dead, which was a bummer.
When the options started pointing to taking physical action, my hand/eye coordination skill was minimal, so I was like 'oh I'm so dead'. But then because I was wearing the chest armour, I survived.
What DID kill me however was only being on one morale point, and pondering if Harry could have made a better case to Kortenaer while talking to Kim, leading to Harry quitting.
I think considering we'd just seen Ruby unalive herself minutes before, that was a great and fitting end to my character's story tbh. Buzzing to replay again!
never played this game, and first video i am looking about it, i actually really like how the perceptions and thoughs of the character are voiced/ works its seems actually well done !

Acabo de terminar mi segunda partida, quise hacerla con empatia a tope, dudo que haya tenido que ver pero con tan solo un punto en "Coordinación mano ojo" y el abrigo de PinBall logré acertar el primer disparo, momentos mágicos que sólo Disco Elysium puede crear
I've never felt my heart pump and sweat come down my head like this scene made me
2:37 What a waste...
Best possible outcome - cames in shaved and doesn't use the Molotov. This is very far from best.
This whole scene was magnificent but I genuinely started to cry around 22:23
My Harry had been trying so hard to become someone new, someone better that when I him refuse to go down, to drift away - I was ecstatic with joy, good tears shed because it wasn't over.
We still had a case to solve.
Why tf am I failing a 97percent logic check mark evry damn time. ????
This whole scene is just chill inducing. Great stuff.
This ISN'T the best possible outcome, actually. But you need to play with a 5/5/1/3 build with Shivers as the signature skill to unlock the real best possible outcome here, and if requires passing a PSY 4 check in the first ~5 minutes of the game (it's not timer dependent) and you can't pass the other pre-checks involved here with any other spec. If you don't obtain the speaking tie, you can't throw a bomb here, which makes all the difference in the world
We love Beatiful Necktie in this house
@@matejspevacek1226 -Horrific- Beautiful Necktie was Harry's *real* honourable partner. It sacrificed itself in the line of duty to save Detective Costeau/Tequila Sunset. It got like 7000 honour points for that deed alone. It deserves a funeral alongside the crashed motor carriage.
I never understood what Shivers was for. I assumed it was something that made him afraid. you're saying it has actual use?
@@likmijnreet4542 It actually does have use. You even get free loot from Le Revacholerie if you ask her where to find some. It's basically the voice of the city that tells you about your surroundings and at higher levels will basically allow you to metagame by telling you all of the points of interest or even where to find Ruby right away.
@deathtoyoutubeandtwitterbu5865 By crazy shit do you mean the fact that Revachol itself somehow knows that the city is going to be a nuclear wasteland in less than a century? Or is it just the fact that the actual city is talking to you and it sounds like a provocative French woman?
I was physically shaking after this scene, I had to take a shower to wash it off
the first time I played this scene I got one of the better outcomes despite having pretty low chances with most of the skill checks, and it felt like my heart was beating at 120 beats per minute the entire time
On my first try i choose not to shoot thinking i could smooth talk my way out of this. Didn't work and then when I'm down kim is about to get shot and i see an authority check, one of my dump stat with the ledger of failure equipped (-2), i audibly screamed "no!" Unlike harry who couldn't. I didn't immediately reloaded to live with my pretty big mistakes in the form of cuno
I came here cuz i thought i had fucked up, but the BEST outcome is still fucking shit

Kim Kitsuragi's "God Please..": 17:40
After failing to talk down anyone and everyone, including Ruby from killing herself and Gardener, I fired first successfully and dodged Ruud's shot against awful odds. But I was never more terrified of getting a bad roll at 92% with saving Kim. Success, he lived. I've never been more afraid for another man's life than him.
I can't protect Titus and the guys almost all die in my game
one of my favourite moments of the game was the lymbic system saying "he only gets WOOOOOOOORSSSSSSSSEE"
I got the worst possible outcome for this…all my highest skills were the wrong ones for the job
Same here; I was lucky I had clothes to help me out. Minmaxing is not a good idea in this game
God this sequence was fcking amazing to play
horrific necktie spirit bomb is still the best
Kinda reminds me of the necktie from Shutter Island.
@@MoonStruckHorrorsX YES!!!
I leave it here for the info: Another nice detail from this game; after taking the bullet, when Harry is clinging to life, faintly in the background you can hear what sounds like a woman's voice saying "Harry". Dora's voice haunting him, even when he's near his final moments, showing her powerful influence on his psyche.
I've always thought it was weird that the narration describes Ruud as "not human" after he gets shot.
To me, one of the strong-points of this scene is the notion it presents that having empathy for and humanizing your enemies enables you to understand and engage with them better, even in circumstances of violence. To declare that Ruud is beyond humanity really undercuts that theme.
maybe they describe his sounds as not human to really drive home the brutality? i can make one hell of a bird impression, that's a pretty non-human sound
they also describe him as weeping under the helmet in his introduction, so he's not completely de-humanized
So the real version of this fight also costs a year of your life. interesting.
What do you mean?
On day 1. The Mysterious Pair of Eyes at the Harbor entrance HAS to be Ruud.
Its the deserter
It's Titus imo
This made the whole game worth it. It was riveting!
It's disappointing that I put all my points into conversation only for none of that to matter in this situation. I never found my gun in this game. Now I'm regretting it.
Yoooo lol, tell me how tribunal went for u please.
So you did not find Ruby? Or if you did she survived? You can get two guns in this game.
@@Ozzianman I also didn't find a gun (except the old broken one), I met Ruby but I let her go when she tried to shot herself and I don't remember any point of this scene where gun was mentioned
@@bingly338 Nice, RUclips deleted my comment.
If Ruby deletes herself you get her gun. As for Raphael's gun (His name is Raphael Ambrosius Costeau and nobody can change my mind), you find it in a side investigation with a funny yet sad outcome.
this guy didnt get the spirit bomb
Still love how your silly tie saves you in another playthrough
The voice acting in this game is astounding
21:51 when the music came in it shook me way too hard.
I got this same outcome, though I have to say I had the armored breast plate to tank the first shot, as well as help from a horrible friend instead of actually shooting the dude. I thought I fucked up horribly, but glad to know I didn't.
Stop shooting at me!
