Solving the Laundry Room and Manager's Office Puzzles
The Laundry Room is a critical area for tracking your target. To gain access, you'll first need to find the correct code. This involves a detour to the Manager's Office.
Locate Moneypenny's Pod
After testing new gadgets with Q, head to Moneypenny's Pod for your mission briefing. Your destination will be the Grand Carpathian Hotel.
Drive to the Hotel & Investigate
As the chauffeur, drive Cressida and Monroe to the hotel. After dropping them off, Bond will notice a suspicious blond man (bellhop) and begin his investigation.
Access Staff Only Area
Head downstairs to the main hotel area. Look for a "Staff Only" door behind the reception desk on the right side. You can obtain a Staff Key from a passing server by distracting them with your Dart Phone and using your Q-Lens to identify the key. Unlock the door.
Find Laundry Code in Manager's Office
Inside the staff area, navigate discreetly past hotel staff to reach the Manager's Office. On the desk, interact with the file to find the Laundry door code: 1805.
While in the Manager's Office, locate the safe under the desk. The code for this safe is 1952, derived from the vintage of a fine wine bottle displayed in the room. Opening it can provide additional rewards or information.
Enter the Laundry Room
With the code (1805) in hand, proceed to the Laundry door and enter. You'll observe the blond man tipping off guards, setting the stage for your next move.
The Laundry Room can be approached in multiple ways. You can sneak past guards, engage in combat, or even find a disguise (like a bellhop uniform) to blend in. Choose your approach based on your preferred playstyle.
Room 206 and the Fireplace Secret
The pursuit of the blond man leads you to Room 206 and a hidden passage. Accessing these areas requires clever use of gadgets and environmental clues.
Gaining Access to Room 206
| Step | Action | Gadget/Method | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Distract Guard | Use the vacuum machine near the upper-floor corridor. | Vacuum Machine | Clears path to Room 206 area |
| 2. Obtain Keycard | Distract the cleaning lady near Room 205. | Dart Phone or Vacuum Machine | Acquire keycard for Room 205 |
| 3. Enter Room 205 | Use the keycard to enter Room 205. | Keycard | Access to adjacent room |
| 4. Infiltrate Room 206 | Exit Room 205 bathroom window, platform across. | Environmental traversal | Entry into Room 206 |
Inside Room 206, investigate the marked objects to confirm the blond man's disguise change.
The Dining Room Fireplace Puzzle
After pursuing the blond man through the kitchen, he disappears in the dining room. A crucial clue is left behind.
Find the Clue
In the dining room, locate a food trolley. On it, you'll find a torn page depicting a strange creature combining a lion, a goat, and a snake. This is your key to the fireplace puzzle.
Interact with the Fireplace
Approach the fireplace and interact with the lock mechanism. It features six animal dials.
Enter the Combination
Select the lion, goat, and snake symbols in any order. This combination will unlock a secret passage leading down into the wine cellar.
The fireplace puzzle is a classic Bond-style brainteaser. The order of the animals (lion, goat, snake) does not matter for unlocking the passage, only that these three specific animals are chosen.
Other Notable Puzzles and Codes
Beyond the hotel, 007 First Light presents several other code-based and logic puzzles that are essential for story progression or unlocking optional content.
