Help Soona with her project is one of the final tasks of the ravers and Soona storyline in Disco Elysium. This walkthrough explains where to find the refrigerator and an off-site copy, how to solve the bowls puzzle in the church, how to make ravers appear in the church and how to help Soona complete the experiment.

• Unlocking the task
• Finding a frozen ice cream maker
• Obtaining and providing an off-site copy
• Water bowls puzzle
• Checking Soona's design after ravers move in

Unlocking the task

Soona, the developer, will appear at the church located on the west coast (it can be accessed starting from day 3).

You must first make enough progress in the Help Ravers start a nightclub task - talk to the Spooker at the ceiling and make him share the computer password. Soona will enter the church while you check the computer.

During the meeting with Soona, do not choose the option of evicting her from the church, because this will end your relationship and you will not be able to take her quest.

Instead, convince Soona to cooperate with the ravers - you will have to do her a favor, which is the basis of this task. Soona will give you the Kvalsund KR+2 Multi-Tool - you can use it to open containers by force (a more powerful version of the prybar you already have). Equip it in either hand.

Finding a frozen ice cream maker

You must return to the Doomed Commercial Area, which you were able to visit for the first time in the Investigate the Doomed Commercial Area quest. As a reminder, one of the entrances is in a bookstore west of Whirling-in-Rags.

Make your way to the basement, where you'll find the Ice Bear Fridge. After examining it, you will find a note and determine that you need to search the nearby ice cream maker (see the screenshot).

Obtaining and providing an off-site copy

In order to forcibly open the ice cream maker, you have to pass a difficult Physical Instrument skill check - using Soona's Multi-Tool and disconnecting the power supply (nearby fuse box) will help you pass it. In addition, wear items of clothing that will temporarily increase the skill. You will find an off-site copy containing the filament memory. Return to Soona with it.

Water bowls puzzle

Go to the southeast part of the church and interact with the water bowls (see the screenshot).

You won't have to guess what to do though, because there are only two possible options. Select the first option (move the third bowl) and then the second option (move the fourth bowl).

Go back to Soona. She'll tell you that nothing has changed — you will need to find out why she didn't hear anything through her headphones.

Choose the option to put on headphones - this is a Perception skill check that you have to pass. Apart from putting on suitable clothing items, your chances will be increased even more if you have helped Egg Head before (quest Make van Eyck's Jam Harder Core).

Checking Soona's design after ravers move in

After completing the ravers quest, go to Soona again. You need to talk to Egg Head about the AUX cable - you will meet him in front of a destroyed stained-glass window.

Talk to Soona again and tell her about plugging the cable. Confirm you're ready and finish the experiment - Soona will manage to record the anomaly and you will receive 70 XP.
