All the Time in the World - Slovakia Hub Mission

Mission Overview

All the Time in the World is a sprawling hub-style mission set in and around the Grand Hotel Pohronie, an opulent resort in the Slovakian Tatra Mountains that is hosting an international chess tournament serving as cover for a Phoenix high-level meeting. This 55-60 minute mission features 27 optional challenges across multiple districts including the hotel interior, surrounding grounds, underground service tunnels, and the mountain summit research facility accessible via cable car. The mission's scale and complexity make it the definitive test of every skill you have developed thus far.

Slovakia mission overview

Your cover identity for this operation is "James Rowland," a professional chess journalist covering the tournament for an international publication. This cover grants access to most public hotel areas but limits movement in restricted zones where Phoenix operatives conduct their actual business. The chess tournament setting provides excellent narrative camouflage — players can observe games, interview participants (some of whom are Phoenix assets), and use tournament events as timing references for planning infiltrations. The mission's title references both the leisurely pace of chess and the irony that you have very limited time indeed to prevent whatever Phoenix is planning at this gathering.

Key Objectives

Hotel Interior — Ground Floor

The ground floor serves as the public face of the hotel featuring a grand lobby with marble floors and crystal chandeliers, the tournament hall where chess matches proceed throughout the day, a fine dining restaurant, a cocktail bar, and reception/check-in services. Your journalist cover allows unrestricted access to all these areas. Key NPCs include the tournament director (who schedules match times), the hotel manager (who controls room assignments), and various chess players some of whom are legitimate competitors while others are Phoenix assets operating under cover.

Chess hall puzzle area

The lobby is the social stealth heart of this zone — maintain your journalist persona by occasionally approaching chess players for "interviews" (dialogue options that reduce suspicion), checking the tournament scoreboard, or sitting in the lounge area reading the provided newspaper. Acting suspiciously here — staring at security personnel, loitering near exits, or following individuals too closely — triggers the suspicion system similar to the London nightclub mission but with lower thresholds since hotel security is more alert than club bouncers.

The Safe Code — 1952 / 1805

The penthouse-level secure room where Phoenix conducts sensitive discussions is protected by a mechanical combination lock requiring a 4-digit code entered as two pairs: 1952 and 1805. This code is not provided directly — you must discover it through investigation. The code is hidden in the tournament organizer's personal office located on the first floor, accessible via a door marked "Private" near the tournament hall entrance.

Safe code puzzle

Inside the organizer's office, search the desk drawer containing reservation files. Among standard booking documents you will find a handwritten note referencing "Room 1952 — VIP arrival confirmed" and "Service order #1805 — special setup required." These numbers correspond to the safe combination. Alternatively, the code can be found by hacking the organizer's computer terminal (military encryption) which contains a digital copy of the same information. Both methods lead to the same code; choose whichever suits your preferred playstyle.

Restaurant Puzzle — Lion, Goat, Snake

The hotel restaurant contains a private dining room whose outer door is decorated with three ceramic animal figurines: a lion, a goat, and a snake. These figurines are actually a locking mechanism — they must be pressed in the correct sequence to unlock the door leading to the kitchen service corridor. The puzzle is a variation of classic river-crossing logic problems, and the solution relates to predator-prey relationships.

The correct sequence is: **Snake first**, then **Goat**, then **Lion**. The logic derives from food chain hierarchy — the snake (lowest on the chain) must be moved first to prevent it from being eaten by others during transit, followed by the goat (middle of the chain) that cannot be left alone with the lion, and finally the lion (apex predator) who threatens no one once the others are secured. Pressing them out of sequence causes the mechanism to reset with an audible click indicating failure. Behind the unlocked door lies a short hallway connecting to the main kitchen, which provides back-of-house access to upper floors via the service elevator.

Upper Floors and Penthouse Access

Hotel rooms occupy floors 2-8, with increasing luxury and security as floor number rises. Floors 2-4 are standard guest accommodations accessible to anyone with a room key (yours works here). Floors 5-7 are premium suites requiring keycard clearance above your current level — access these via stolen keys, picked locks, or the service elevator from the kitchen. Floor 8 is the penthouse level housing the Phoenix meeting room, executive suites, and the hotel owner's private residence.

Multiple routes reach the penthouse: the primary elevator requires a penthouse keycard held only by hotel management and Phoenix leadership; the service elevator (from kitchen access) reaches floor 8 but deposits you in a utility closet where you must navigate past 2 housekeeping staff; external fire escape climbing from the garden terrace reaches the penthouse balcony but requires avoiding window visibility from neighboring buildings; and the ventilation system (accessed from basement maintenance areas) provides the stealthiest route but involves cramped navigation and multiple junction decisions.

Hotel entrance infiltration

Underground Service Tunnels

Beneath the hotel lies a network of service tunnels connecting the laundry facility, boiler room, kitchen stores, and waste disposal systems. These tunnels provide alternative routing between hotel zones but are patrolled by maintenance staff and monitored by motion sensors in certain sections. The tunnel network also connects to an external exit leading toward the cable car station that services the mountain summit research facility — a secondary objective area containing additional intelligence about Phoenix long-term plans.

Key tunnel navigation tips: the Q Lens environmental scan reveals motion sensor positions before you trigger them; maintenance staff wear distinctive uniforms and carry flashlights making them easy to spot in darkness; the tunnel ceiling has pipe runs that can be traversed in crouch mode to avoid floor-level patrols entirely; and the tunnel junction near the boiler room contains a collectible Intel document inside a toolbox that many players miss because they rush toward the hotel proper.

Stealth Approach Tips

The optimal stealth approach for this mission leverages your journalist cover for as long as possible before switching to traditional infiltration methods. Begin by spending 10-15 minutes in public areas establishing your cover identity — complete several fake interviews, photograph tournament matches for your "article," and be seen by multiple staff members behaving normally. This builds a behavioral baseline that makes later suspicious activity less likely to trigger immediate alerts if briefly observed.

When transitioning to infiltration, use the restaurant puzzle solution rather than forceful entry. The kitchen service route avoids cameras entirely and places you close to the service elevator. Time your ascent during the afternoon tournament round when most staff are focused on player refreshment services and security rotates shifts. The period between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM offers the widest gap in penthouse-level patrol coverage as the day guard hands off to evening shift over a 15-minute overlap where both teams are occupied with transition procedures.

Combat Tips

If combat becomes necessary within the hotel, remember that lethal engagements draw immediate response from both hotel security and Phoenix operative escorts. Non-lethal takedowns using the dagger shoe stun mode are strongly preferred as unconscious bodies can be hidden in housekeeping carts, linen closets, or ice machines without raising alarms. Lethal eliminations create blood evidence that triggers investigations even if no one witnesses the act directly.

Hotel combat encounter

Phoenix operatives encountered in this mission are significantly more capable than standard guards. They wear light body armor (requiring 2 headshots or 4 body shots to neutralize), carry suppressed firearms, and communicate via encrypted radios that the Q Lens cannot intercept. When fighting Phoenix agents, prioritize environmental advantages — push them into elevator shafts, lure them near explosive boiler pressure valves, or use the chandelier in the grand lobby as a dropping hazard. Direct confrontation should always be a last resort against these enhanced enemies.
