The minor quest Sing Karaoke in Disco Elysium is available at the Whirling-in-Rags hostel on the ground floor. On this page of the guide, we've included information on how to get Garte to let Harry sing, where to find a sad song, how to listen to it on the tape player, and how to sing it correctly on stage.

• Starting the quest
• Tape with the song
• Tape player
• Listening to the tape on the tape player
• Convincing Garte
• Singing karaoke in the evening

Starting the quest

Make your way to the bar on the ground floor of Whirling-in-Rags, the hostel where you started the game.

Examine the sound system and don't ignore the voices of the Inland Empire (purple orb). The first goal of the quest is to get a tape with a sad song.

Tape with the song

Wait until the third day to unlock the passage to the western Martinaise.

Head west towards the abandoned house. You will find a container behind it, and inside it - tape with a song (Smallest Church in Saint-Saens).

Tape player

Go to the pawnshop, which is located south-west of the hostel.

Examine the speakers above Roy and you'll see the option to purchase the Harmon-Wowshi W02 tape player. Its price may vary depending on the results of the passive skill test - in our example, it costs only 4 real, but its base price is as much as 12 real.

Listening to the tape on the tape player

The tape player is among the items in your inventory window - equip it in one of your character's hands.

Go to the Interact tab and select your previously acquired tape from it. This will allow you to listen to it.

Convincing Garte

The final stage of the quest is to convince Garte to let Harry sing - talk to him at the Whirling-in-Rags bar.

Garte will refuse Harry and you will have to repeat the requests to make the karaoke machine available. You can improve Garte's attitude towards the protagonist by completing related quests:

1. Pay for damages - give him the full sum (130 real) or a negotiated lower amount;
2. Take stuffed bird to Garte - give him the captured bird.

Singing karaoke in the evening

Arrive at the bar after 7 pm and interact with the microphone, but don't check if it works (risk of increased stress levels).

Here you'll also have to check your Drama skill. You will complete the quest regardless of its result - if the test is passed, Harry will sing the song nicely, and if you fail it, he will scare the gathered guests with his performance. In both cases, you will receive 30 XP.
