Finding the sniper nest in Disco Elysium is a part of the Determine where the shot came from task. Our guide explains how to examine the window on the first floor of Whirling-in-Rags, where to look for possible sniping nests, and how to establish which of the indicated locations is the correct one.
Unlocking the task
You must interrogate Klaasje on the Whirling-in-Rags balcony as part of the task Get the whole story from Titus. Klaasje will tell you about a sniper and that a bullet fired by him struck the window of her room.
Leave the balcony and after finding yourself in a small room on the first floor, examine the window marked on the screenshot.
You must pass the Viasual calculus skill check - we advise you to save the game before the check and put on clothing items that will temporarily increase this ability.
If you've let Klaasje go during the Arrest Klaasje task, after completing the confrontation from Return to the Whirling-in-Rags task, you'll find a gift from her in the hotel room that provides a 6+ bonus to Visual calculus check.
Examining the window
Winning the check unlocks the task in question and is a base for more detailed analysis - you'll learn of 3 potential locations from where the shot might have been fired. These are boardwalk, Land's End and Island.
Looking for bullet traces
2 of the 3 locations are optional - you don't have to investigate them and moreover examining them doesn't progress the task in any way.
Boardwalk - instead of directly going to the boardwalk itself, go to Feld building (the one with a large mural and ladder leading to the roof) and this is a part of the Look for Ruby on the coast task. Inside the building there will be a small hole on one of the bunker walls. A Visual calculus orb will appear. It turns out that this isn't the location from where the shot came from.
Land's End - you need to reach the north-western part of the map, north of Feld building. This is possible at any moment since unlocking western Martinaise during day 3. Click on the Visual calculus orb that appeared (screenshot above). It turns out that this isn't the location from where the shot came from.
Island - you gain access to this location only in the final part of the game - after unlocking the Go to the Island task and using the boat in the Fishing Village.
During exploration of the Island, you may come across a mattress which turns out to be the location from where the shot was fired. These are the same ruins where you find the canister.
The party will examine this location and conclude that this is the spot from where the shot was fired. Your reward for completing the task will be 70XP.
