This section of the Disco Elysium guide provides a comprehensive guide for completing The *special* borscht side quest.
The *special* borscht task in Disco Elysium requires you to investigate the special borscht prepared in the kitchen at the Whirling-In-Rags Hotel.
To start the quest, speak to Easy Leo, who is seated near the entrance of the Union’s chief’s container. During the conversation, ask about the soup that is served to strikers, as it helps to boost morale and lift spirits.
However, before that, you need to search the drawer to find a note about the borscht, which requires passing a white Volition skill check.
Next, go to the kitchen and inquire about the borscht. Ask the cook, “What’s in that borscht you’re making there?”. From the conversation, you will discover that the borscht served to strikers is made with vodka, and the quest will be completed.
