How to Solve 007 First Light Fireplace Puzzle

007 First Light puts you in the seat of the ace of MI6 spycraft, James Bond, and lets you use his wits, strength and fancy gadgets straight from the Q-Lab. However, the real work of a spy shines through when he solves clues and opens locks using his wits. Thus, the game has plenty of safes and room codes for you to find and puzzles to solve to open hidden areas. One such puzzle is the fireplace puzzle you’ll encounter in the Grand Carpathian Hotel in 007 First Light; you need to solve it to reach a hidden passageway. If you’re stuck, here’s how you can solve it.

007 First Light Fireplace Puzzle: How to Solve Grand Carpathian Hotel Puzzle

The fireplace puzzle in 007 First Light is located in All the Time in the World Mission in the Investigate the Dining Room checkpoint while you’re looking for the blond man. As soon as you enter the dining room as Bond, you’ll come across a puzzle above the fireplace which features six animals. You’ll need to interact with the puzzle and press three animals in the correct order. To do so, walk towards the entrance of the dining room where you’ll spot a trolley.

Interact with the torn book page on the trolley where you’ll see a drawing of the Chimera featuring a Lion’s head, a Goat’s head on its back, and a Snake as its tail. The same drawing you’ll spot on the banners across the room. So once you notice the drawing carefully, the correct order of the puzzle becomes clear as follows:

Lion -> Goat -> Snake

Press the buttons on the puzzle in this same order, and then you’ll see a secret passage behind the fireplace open automatically. Once it opens up, crouch and move forward to enter the tunnels below the dining room in this 007 First Light mission to proceed and catch the blond man.
