007 First Light. Chapter Two. A Night Out. The story moves from Malta to a busy nightclub in London. Bond and the other recruits are deployed into the field for a mission that involves social stealth, investigation, disguises, gadgets, and a few well-placed distractions.
This walkthrough covers all the main objectives in Chapter 2, including how to locate Joshua Pike, gain access to restricted areas, get inside the VIP section, complete the MI6 sequence, and find all collectibles as you progress.
Red Warning
Once you’ve got control of Bond, make your way to the bar. The first challenge is to find the right contact.
Start with the blonde woman in the red dress. Bond soon finds out she is not the one he is looking for. The real contact is the guy in the red shirt at the far end of the bar.
After the conversation, follow the objective marker to the men’s room. Head to the stall marked with an X and interact with the cabinet on the wall.
Look into Joshua Pike
The fight in the bathroom ends the mission becomes more open. Now you have several different ways to get to the Upstairs Lounge, but they all lead to the same main goal.
Route 1: Staff Only Zone
You can bluff the barmaid into allowing you behind the bar, or use the Dartphone. If you do that, take Memento #2: Cocktail Napkin from behind the bar.
From there, get to the back room and make your way toward the stairwell behind the bouncers. Look for the second bartender. If you can’t bluff him, wait for him to be distracted, or use a dart to knock him out.
Route 2: Light Rigging
Hear two clubbers talk about the backstage lighting rig by the dancefloor. Listen to their conversation then head to the DJ booth.
Bluff or disable the staff member guarding the area and get up on the scaffolding. Move across the lighting rig to the upper level.
Before the final leap, look down to the right for Card #3: Ober of Bells.
Route 3: Obtain the Upstairs Stamp
If you want to be at the front, you need a stamp for the Upstairs Lounge.
Proceed to the cloakroom near the toilet area. Bond will have a feeling about the stamp. You can overhear a clubber on the phone next to you using the code word “Jones.” Use that code word with the attendants to get stamped.
Alternatively, the Dartphone can be used on the male attendant. When he goes out through the door near by, go into the room. Bluff the other attendant, or use the Q-Watch to distract her and stamp your own hand.
Get your stamp and then walk past the bouncers and into the Upstairs Lounge.
Find Pike
Go into the Upstairs Lounge and find Pike on the other side of the room. Stay close to him while the hacking sequence is running. If you stand close by, you’ll not be seen by Pike.
The Woman in Red blocks Bond as he heads for the bar. Your choice of dialogue here won’t change the outcome. Pike will still get away and go to the VIP area.
VIP Area Entry
To follow Pike again, you have to enter the VIP area.
Option 1: The Back Door Sneak Attack
You can slip in through the service entrance behind the bar. Sneak in the back way and get past the staff and into the VIP area from above. This path is riskier but good for players who want to be stealthy.
Option 2: Waiter tray
The serving tray at the end of the bar is the easiest way. Bond, with the tray in his hand, can pass the bouncer and step into the VIP section without any problems.
Inside the hack is done while Bond talks to some nearby guests about the wrong drink order.
When the hack is finished, exit the VIP area and go across the room to find Cressida in the other corner of the Upstairs Lounge.
Then go into the bathroom near where you originally followed Pike. Search the room, set the trap, then return to the dancefloor and speak to Pike. Take him back to the bathroom and screw with the door.
Pike’s Face Contact
Go down the stairs behind Cress and into the private area to the left of the dance floor. Pike’s contact is sitting at the other end of the room.
Go talk to her. The Woman in Red is back but it doesn’t matter who you want to pay attention to. Her call still rings through.
Return to the dancefloor and talk to Monroe. Before you can get to him, Bond is attacked by a number of foes. Then beat them, and go forth to meet Greenway. There’s a long cutscene before the story returns to MI6.
A Question of some Delicacy
Back at MI6, leave M’s office and head to Q-Lab. Q is located in the Wearables section.
After the cutscene about Bond’s new outfit go forward and pick up Legacy #2: Dagger Shoes from the counter.
Now head to the Gadget Testing area. Test out the gadgets available and pick your loadout. The Dartphone and Smokepod are your best bets for the next mission.
Operations and
Pick your gadgets and then head over to Operations. Take the elevator. When you get there, turn around and walk to the back of the room. Intel #5: Arrowhead report on a desk beside the whiteboard.
Walk to the far door of the office. After the cutscene with Greenway, check the desk nearby for Intel #6: 009 Profile.
Talk to Moneypenny when you’re ready to start the mission briefing.
Transfer to the hotel.
Bond is now driving along a coastal road to the hotel. This technically begins another part of the mission, but continue forward until the next major title prompt.
Look into the blond man
Park the car and walk up the first stairs. Before continuing to the hotel, take the optional path on the left which goes down another set of stairs.
At the end of this trail you will receive Card #4: Ace of Acorns.
Get back on the main path and continue towards the hotel.
Hotel Infiltration
There are a number of different entry points to the hotel grounds.
Option 1: Find the hidden press badge.
On the left you’ll see a woman in a suit talking on the phone. Listen to her talk and you’ll discover a hidden Press Badge in one of the big pots.
Go down the stairs again and follow the sign to the well. Look for the Press Badge in the white plant pot next to the water well. Use it to get in the hotel.
Option 2: Borrow a Press Pass
You can also directly steal a badge. Near the security scanner, guards stand beside a white storage box.
distract them with the Dartphone or activate the nearby generator next to the wheelbarrow. When the guard leaves, open the box and take the Press Badge.
Option 3: Make a Fire Diversion
A man in a suit talks to a maid by the stairwell. A lighter sits on the bench beside him.
Use the Dartphone to distract him or turn on the garden hose to get him started. Distract him. Then get the lighter.”
Burn the leaves in the wheel-barrow with it When he checks it out duck past the guard and make for the open window into the Staff Only area.
Option 4: Use the Staff Only Path
There will be a Staff Only area to the right of the guards by the gazebo. If you have a lot of Instinct you can bluff your way in.
If not, turn on the hose outside in the garden. When the first guard comes over to investigate, crawl behind the second guard behind the flowers and go around to the drainpipe. Climb over the fence.
Climb the drainpipe and get inside the hotel.
Chapter 2 Conclusion
Whichever way you come in, when you are inside the hotel, walk down the corridor. Go through the double doors and out to the balcony.
This is the end of Chapter 2 of 007 First Light.
