the bug and the deserter aren't unrelated to the story btw. HDB went to the peninsula to drink himself into oblivion bc he can't handle Being anymore. The deserter is a stark image of what he will become if he keeps down the path he has been on, & the phasmid is a chance encounter with a thing that is like what he had been seeking to become. It's the kind of story that appears at the start to be a story about big, wide events in the world where you have to figure out how the crime was caused by external, political factors & circumstances, but as you progress the story the scope of it winds down & down into the main character to reveal that what actually killed the victim was somebody feeling a hurt that HDB feels, after a lifetime of escapism that HDB has been doing, combined with a neurological degradation the likes of which HDB has been inflicting on himself. The part where you choose between "you are the type of animal i want to be" & "i'm glad to be an incredibly sensitive instrument" is the actual conclusion of the actual story -- whether HDB can find a way to be happy. All of the rest of it is just instruments getting him to that point

You are missing the key equivalent important message too; Hot Gay DILF's are sexy as fuck.

Kim trusting Harry enough to hold off on taking the picture feels like a really crucial moment in his character arc. There are so many hints throughout the game that Kim's put-togetherness is due to insecurity, pride, a fear of ridicule. He's a racialized gay man in a toxic society. He clearly felt emasculated by being forced to play juvie cop for years. He knows his own flaws, he's emotionally intelligent, but he still struggles with them. Harry convinces him to take the risk that he won't have a picture of the phasmid. That he'll have one more thing that other people don't understand about him, that he can't share without being met with scorn. He himself scoffed at Lena, and it would hurt him to be on the receiving end. But he listens to Harry. After all, whether they get the picture or not, Harry was there with him.

If you beat her quests before finding the Phasmid, Harry acknowledges that he has to tell Lena that Phasmid is real, because that would make her very happy. If this creature exists, then so does love. Isn't it?

What made this moment even more powerful to me is i was one of the people who wrote "something beautiful is going to happen" at the wall in the start of the game, and going through the game i always felt kind of regretful for writing that because literally everything is going bad and ugly in harry's life and also in my life, and then this happend... a beautiful moment, a moment that gave me hope that no matter how horrible life is, something beautiful is going to happen.

I got very teared up during this scene. I wasn’t really bawling my eyes out, but I was emotionally full. My eyes were glassy, as the best moment in the whole game happened. The phasmid represents such a beautiful contrast to the world of DE. It’s inclusion might be seen as completely random and extraneous to some, but it’s sheer sense of wonder, and objective viewpoints to the world surrounding HDB and Kim as they solve crimes provided such a sobering view to the game’s world. To find out that a being this pure, this innocent, and this majestic exists in a world like disco Elysium made me realize, in the game’s final moments, that there is a sometimes unspoken utter beauty to this world, a uniqueness of it that ought to reflect on us as individuals. In a game rife with depression and the effects of alcoholism, along with a drab setting, the music (especially the goddamn music, it’s what made me cry the most looking at the bug with that light guitar picking in the back) the setting… everything. This game focuses so much on the degradation of mental health at every chance it gets, but this moment proves life is worth living. You wouldn’t get to understand its beauty otherwise. This game is a masterpiece.

Mr. Evrart is helping me find the insulindian phasmid.

I love the reversal Harry is capable of here: for the entire game, Kim has (rightfully) encouraged him to stand back, to decline to impose his will on a world that might better reveal itself by being allowed to breathe. And the thing is that Kim was always right to do so, it’s only that he had settled into only ever doing so in the service of seeking answers as a detective. Harry’s a mess, sure, but now he’s a mess that’s learned from Kim to let the world in front of him breathe in all its resplendent weirdness, only now without any intent to extract an answer. For once, Harry has the opportunity to teach Kim something: that some mysteries must be left to exist for their own sake, and that seeking an answer would only degrade them. This is the moment where they truly come to understand each other.

It's so great to read these comments and discover that I'm not the only one who loved this scene. What an amazing way to wrap up a truly incredibly game. I spent ages searching for phasmids earlier in the game, and I'd all but given up hope of finding one. The moment when it's finally revealed made the hair on the back of my neck stand up ! Beautiful story-telling.

The backround of the creators of the game (who were completely fucked over by a shady company) trying to get over alcoholism and multiple artistic failures leads me to interpret the phasmid as their own sense of regret and guilt coming forward as renewal. who knew that "dude, you aren't so bad" would be a transcendent moment in a video game. It's something we all need to hear more often in life, and playing as harry for so long makes the player have this feeling. the fact that sorry cop is a character build makes this shit hit hard. just a fantastic piece of art

*DETECTIVE* *ARRIVING* *ON THE SCENE*

I just finished the game. The conversation between Harry and the Phasmid (His own mind?) was mesmerizing and fantastical, reinforcing the underlying feeling that there is something paranatural about Disco Elysium's world. After finishing up the Cryptozoology quest I thought was done with the whole Phasmid thing, but still decided to get Lena's address just for the sake of prolonging her hope. And then this happened, it made me sit in my chair in complete silence for a couple of minutes before continuing. I had already been feeling emotional over what was the last part of the game, considering the whole dream sequence, the damned tribunal. However, this moment 7:21 made me completely breakdown into tears, especially the closing part where Volition, Inland Empire, and Authority chimed in. After spending so much time with the absolute wreck of a detective, seeing his mistakes and failures along with his painful thoughts, I had grown attached to him and this moment was my reward. Harry not only had solved the case and discovered a new species in the end, but also, i think, had achieved some form of serenity and mental closure, if only for a moment.

it's great that it actually is kinda related to the case, because it tells harry about the neurodegenerative aerobic chemical that damaged the deserter's mind

This felt like being stick-bugged while on the climax of the crime story-line

Truly a wonderful moment in storytelling, I got this after a tribunal that went terribly, I felt kind of cheated because I wanted so badly to get to the island before things fell apart, as if that could have saved more lives. I was prepared for a downer ending where all my failures piled on until Harry was crushed but what I got was something much more beautiful than I could have imagined.

This continues to break my heart every time I see this scene, I feel like the phasmid and whenever it speaks I feel seen or understood. I go through a few tissues every time just a wreck. This is my favorite game, and I'll never forget it.

That inland empire check to talk to the Phasmid is legit one of the best in the game. I get chills when it says “holy is the lord of hosts, all the earth is filled with his glory”

i hadn't felt anything in, idk, about a month? two months? only completely tired and numb, until i reached this scene, it felt like opening that faucet that wont budge to move, i basically spilled half of my bodily water trough my eyelids, thank you disco Elysium :`)

Throughout the entire conversation it sounds so enigmatic and otherworldly, but when it describes the one winter when it woke up too early and accidentally ate its own children, it sounded about ready to burst into tears... That got to me, man, I cried like a bitch

"Oh ok we found the murderer. Cool." "THE F*CKING PLASMID?! OH YESSS!!!"

So many gutwrenching and beautiful moments in this game, but this encounter was one of the few to actually move me to tears. What an incredible game.

I just realized that the phasmid sounds a lot like Björk. I guess it makes sense since one is an ethereal, alien creature who speaks in a way incomprehensible to mortal men and the other is a stickbug.

"You are a Violent and irrepressible miracle. The vacuum of cosmos and the stars burning in it are afraid of you. Given enough time you would wipe us all out and replace us with nothing - just by accident"

This is my new favorite ASMR

sometimes i wonder if the greatest proof we have that we not only exist, but have free will, is our capacity to turn heaven into a living hell, that perspective allows us to turn the greatest gifts that has ever been, into a boring novelty, an irrelevant toy. Like a brat complaining about their birthday lamborghini being the wrong color. we stand on top of a mountain and search for the elevator up, instead of looking down and seeing how far we've come and how blessed we are to just *be* here, when the rest of the atoms in the universe never get to *be* at all.

You folks may not feel the same but the moment she starts to speak and by reading what game describes it I immediately know what she means to me - she is the realization of real communism, perfect free market society, monarchy ruled by a saint, the highest moralist's kingdom and endless disco. This game is as dark as it should be and there is no way out no matter what ideology you choose in the game - and such frustration can so easily correlate with the real world outside the game. When I find Phasmid, I know there is not a utopia, there is still hope to redeem all goods.

man i needed to hear this, thank you weird videogame squid mosquito, also, i cant help but feel that the pale is us, the player? i dont know what else it could be (though i havent played the game so idk), maybe it isnt meant to be metaphorical, but i think that the game is implying that the moment the game started, Harry's alcoholic breakdown and total downpour of thought created a metaphorical opening to our world, as a videogame, thats why its almost a horrible miracle, on one hand they are literally transcending their fictional game reality and entering ours, but on the other, once something is made, it can only stop existing by being unmade, does that feel like a cycle of unending death and rebirth? what a horrifying existence to be a fictional bug species side character in an indie videogame that im watching a youtube video on. and who now technically lives or dies in my thoughts depending on whether or not im thinking about her. Stop making me feel bad about thinking devs! stop making me feel personally responsible for the continued existence of fictional characters by keeping them in my brain and/or computer hardrive! or maybe im just schitzo posting and thats not what this is at all, fuck it, whatever.

the pale is definitely metaphorical. It's a manifestation of Humanity's undoing by its own hands. A literal miracle is needed for it not to consume us all in time. And yet, there's that sliver of hope that we will overcome it, or contend with it. I think this is the message the game is trying to tell us.

DO IT FOR THE WORKING CLASS Lol no one will believe him that communism saved him from heartbreak. *sniffles*

Im in fuckin love with the phasmids voice actor.

What a masterpiece.

I didn't notice the music change in my playthroughs ever.

7:59 one of the best bits in the game

Just finished last night. I didn't take the pheromone, unfortunately. But even then, the message of the moment still came across (mostly). I've never seen this a game navigate the themes of it's story like Disco Elysium, let alone stick its landing to such a degree. The moment the narrator said you heard a sound from the reeds while talking to the deserter I had the biggest smile on my face. It was like every arc in the game had come to its conclusion at that moment. Every loose end, all the feelings that had built up within the player during their time as Harrier Du Bois finally laid bare, deconstructed, finalized...closure. This was beautiful, almost life-changing work of art.

I never expected to encounter this being, so it really surprised the hell out of me when it actually APPEARED from the reeds. I remembered the quest helping the people trying to find the phasmid but after doing so I came to the conclusion that they were just searching for something fantastical that actually isn't real. What little did I know... Amazing moment, akin to an epiphany.

I just rolled that with 8% chance of succes. Magical experience

So beautiful...

Just finished the game. When i saw this i was like, well seems like harry officially lost it, but when kim said "I see it too" I JUST LOST MY SHIT sad that i didn't spray the pheromones and lost this whole dialogue 🥲 insane game.

The only games moments in gaming that got emotion from me were the endings of both Red Dead Redemption games. This moment made me push out some tears...

if you dont get sprayed by morell this scene is impossible! wtf, i dont even remember that dialogue option with him and I would have had no problem doing it 😢

I don't think I've ever seen something that exactly describes why I love insects so much.

So unexpected and touching scene! Amazing!

I cried like a baby during this scene, dunno why.

The bugs are rooting for us boys!

No, you are the miracle

I checked those traps at least 5 separate times after the zoologists had left, hoping for a tiny easter egg that would make the poor couple's lives. Needless to say, I was stunned when *it* started moving, towering above you. Unfortunately, a '2' and '3' on >90% events cost me from being able to save Kim from the hospital a few days earlier so that he could enjoy it as well.

I definitely didn't cry multiple times while playing the game
