In the Grand Carpathian Hotel portion of 007 First Light, a correctly solved fireplace puzzle unlocks a hidden passage beneath the dining room.
Step‑by‑step solution
When Bond reaches the dining room during the “All the Time in the World” mission, a stone panel above the hearth displays six animal icons. The required sequence is revealed by a torn notebook page on a nearby trolley, which sketches a chimera: a lion’s head, a goat perched on its back, and a snake forming the tail. Replicate this order on the panel – lion first, then goat, and finally snake – and the secret doorway will swing open.
Proceeding after activation
Immediately after the mechanism engages, crouch and move forward through the opening. The tunnel leads deeper beneath the dining area, allowing Bond to continue the chase for the blond suspect.
Players who discover the lion‑goat‑snake pattern gain swift access to the concealed tunnel, avoiding unnecessary backtracking.
