Contents
Chapter 8 Overview
All the Time in the World is the largest single-chapter environment in 007 First Light. Set at the Grand Carpathian Hotel in Slovakia during a World Chess Championship, this mission covers approximately 2-3 hours of gameplay and contains more optional content than any other chapter.
Mission Objectives
Bond must infiltrate the Grand Carpathian Hotel to locate and pursue a blond man connected to the Webb conspiracy. The mission transitions from covert infiltration through the hotel's public areas to a high-speed car chase escape.
Safe Codes
Laundry Door Code: 1805 — opens alternate routes through the hotel
- Manager's Office Safe Code: 1952 — contains Cellar Key and 6 of Roses collectible
The Fireplace Puzzle — Lion, Goat, Snake
Inside the Dining Room, interact with the trolley near the entrance to find a torn book page. The page shows the Chimera — a creature with Lion's head, Goat's body, and Snake tail. Press the animal symbols on the fireplace in this exact order: Lion → Goat → Snake. A hidden tunnel opens behind the fireplace.
Chess Hall Strategy
The chess hall is densely packed with collectibles and optional encounters. Use Q-Lens to scan all tables and side rooms. The upper balconies often contain cards and Postcards that are easy to miss. NPCs here are more talkative — eavesdrop thoroughly for bluff topics and intel.
Collectibles in Chapter 8
This chapter has some of the highest collectible density in the game. Manager's office, laundry area, fireplace secret passage, and every guest room you can access all contain items. The Restaurant area has a playing card location on the dining card table.
Car Chase Escape
The mission ends with a car chase. This is a vehicle sequence with combat elements. Prioritize disabling pursuing vehicles before they overwhelm you. EMP tools from the Q-Watch are effective against vehicles.
