If you haven’t decided yet to play the game or not, make sure to read our review of Disco Elysium. Disco Elysium is a role-playing game; therefore, the story and side stories are told via different main and side quests. In one of the quests, you are tasked to find the Phasmid in Disco Elysium, and here is how to do it in the game.
How To Find the Phasmid in Disco Elysium
The quest of finding the Insulindian Phasmid in Disco Elysium is not a single one but rather a series of quests you have to complete. Before we dive into the guide, it is necessary to let you know that the last section of the guide contains spoilers for the ending, so if you want to see the ending for yourself, I suggest you only read it before the spoilers warning.
The first step of the quest series is to talk to Lena in the lobby of the hotel on Day 2, where she asks you to find her husband, Morell. You can’t proceed for a while until Day 3, where you gain access to the next section of the map that was locked before. Travel there and talk to Lilienne and ask her if she knows where Morell is. She will tell you, and then you have to go to the far northwest of the abandoned Feld R&D building, and you will find Morell with Gary. Speak with Morell and tell him to go back to the hotel since the water is fixed now.
While speaking with Morell, make sure to agree to Inspect the Traps quest. Afterward, Morell with going back to the hotel, and the location of each trap will be in your journal. It is best to inspect all of the traps in one go because it might get confusing. After you’ve checked the traps, you won’t find the Phasmid, and you have to go back to the hotel and speak with Lena and Morell. In order to get the next quest, you need to pass an Empathy check while speaking with Morell. If you do, the next quest, The Missing Insects Case, will be triggered.
After you’ve talked with Morell, you have to go and talk with Cuno, then head east to Cuno’s shack and go inside. Inside you will have some thought orbs that you must click on, and then you will talk with Kim a little bit and then go back and speak with Cuno again. Then head back to the hotel and speak with Morell. Depending on your dialogue choice, you may or not trigger The Insulindian Phasmid quest.
In this quest, you will be tasked with restocking the traps with locusts. Then head back to the fourth trap, restock it with locusts, and then go and speak with Lena. The quest will be completed here, but you haven’t found the Phasmid yet. The rest of the article will spoil the ending of the game; you are warned.
