How to Enter Room 206, Room 205 and Room 207 in 007 First Light

How to enter Room 206, Room 205, and Room 207 in 007 First Light is one of the trickier parts of the hotel section in the “All the Time in the World” chapter. The game does not hand you a key. You have to find it yourself — and the maid standing in the hallway is your best lead.

TL;DR

• Room 206 is a main story objective in Chapter 6: All the Time in the World.
• To enter Room 205, you need to get the Room 205 Keycard from the maid in the hallway.
• Distract the maid by activating the nearby vacuum or using the Dart Phone, then pickpocket the keycard.
• Alternatively, find the Room 205 Keycard in the Staff Room cupboard across from the guard.
• Room 207 is accessible from the same hotel floor once you progress the story.
• Room 206 itself is part of the story — Bond enters it as part of the main mission.

Where Are Rooms 205, 206, and 207 in 007 First Light?

These three rooms are all located on the same hotel corridor during the Slovakia mission in Chapter 6, known as “All the Time in the World.” This is early in Bond’s first proper spy mission, where he is undercover as a chauffeur and tracking a suspicious blond man through a chess tournament hotel.

When you reach Checkpoint 07: Accessing Room 206, the game gives you the objective to access Room 206. This is the main story goal — but it is not as simple as walking through the door. The hallway is patrolled, and nearby rooms like 205 and 207 require a bit more spy work to get into.

How to Enter Room 206 in 007 First Light

Room 206 is the main mission target in this section. Bond enters it as part of the story objective — you do not need a special keycard just for this room. The story will naturally take you inside once you progress through the hotel.

Here is how the sequence plays out:

• Progress through the hotel following the blond man.
• Reach Checkpoint 07 and receive the objective: Access Room 206.
• Navigate through the hotel floor, avoiding guards or distracting them with your gadgets.
• Once inside Room 206, the story continues and opens up the next phase of the mission.

After the story takes you through Room 206, the following objective will move you into a service corridor. You will see a large blue power cable there — that is your cue that you have cleared this section.

Make sure you have the right tools equipped going into this section. Have a look at the 007 First Light best gadget loadout guide to see what works best for stealth-heavy areas like this hotel.

How to Enter Room 205 in 007 First Light

Room 205 is the optional room right next to 206. You cannot just walk in — the door needs a keycard. There are two ways to get it, and both work well depending on how you want to play.

Method 1: Pickpocket the Maid in the Hallway

Once you reach the hallway outside Room 206, you will see a maid pacing near Room 205. She has the Room 205 Keycard on her. Your job is to get it without raising the alarm.

• First, eavesdrop on the maid to understand her patrol route.
• Then, either turn on the nearby vacuum cleaner using your Q-Lens to distract her, or shoot her with the Dart Phone to make her feel sick.
• While she is distracted, move close and pickpocket the Room 205 Keycard off her.
• Head into Room 205 and grab the Slovakia Postcard collectible from the nightstand by the bed.

Method 2: Get the Keycard from the Staff Room Cupboard

There is also a Staff Room directly across from the guard standing watch in the hallway. You can enter it carefully and find the Room 205 Keycard sitting inside a cupboard. This method does not require pickpocketing at all — it is quieter if you can slip past the guard unnoticed.

• Locate the Staff Room across from the hallway guard.
• Sneak inside without being spotted.
• Open the cupboard and take the Room 205 Keycard.
• Use the keycard to unlock Room 205 and head inside.

The Slovakia Postcard you find in Room 205 on the nightstand is one of the collectibles needed for 100% completion. If you are working through all the collectibles in this chapter, the 007 First Light all missions, challenges, and collectibles guide has everything mapped out.

How to Enter Room 207 in 007 First Light

Room 207 is located on the same hotel floor as Rooms 205 and 206. Like the other rooms, it sits along the corridor during the hotel section of the All the Time in the World chapter.

Room 207 becomes accessible as you progress through the story objectives in this section. Once the story takes you through Room 206 and opens up the surrounding area, you can explore the nearby corridor more freely. The rooms in this hallway are all part of the same hotel floor layout, and the story will guide you past them naturally as you pursue the blond man.

Keep your Q-Watch active using L1 or LB as you move through this floor. It highlights collectibles and interactable items in yellow, which makes it easier to spot anything worth grabbing before you move on to the next checkpoint.

Tips for the Hotel Floor Section

This part of the game rewards patience. The guards and maids follow set patrol routes, and most of them can be handled with a single Dart Phone shot or by activating a nearby distraction. Here are a few things worth knowing:

• Use the vacuum cleaners. Several are placed throughout the hotel floor. Activating them with the Q-Lens draws NPCs away from their positions without alerting anyone nearby.
• Eavesdrop first. Many NPCs give hints about what they are holding or where things are if you listen to their conversations.
• Pickpocketing works quietly. You do not need to knock anyone out. Distract them, get close, and pick their pockets without starting a fight.
• Check staff rooms. Several keycards and useful items are stored in Staff Room cupboards throughout this chapter, not just on NPCs.

If you want to go back and clean up anything you missed, you can replay the mission. The 007 First Light how to replay missions guide explains how chapter select works so you can return to any checkpoint.

What Is in Room 206 in 007 First Light?

Room 206 is central to the story in the All the Time in the World chapter. It is the target room Bond is sent to access, and entering it advances the plot. After clearing it, the next objective starts immediately, leading Bond into the delivery area and service corridors of the hotel as he continues pursuing the blond man.

It is worth entering before you move on, because once the story pushes you into Checkpoint 08, some of the earlier areas lock off. The 007 First Light All the Time in the World challenges guide covers everything you should complete in this checkpoint before progressing.

What Gadgets Help in This Section?

You will use your gadgets a lot during the hotel section. The two most useful ones here are:

• Dart Phone — unlocked in Chapter 5, it makes NPCs dizzy and lets you pickpocket them easily. It is essential for getting keycards off maids and guards without going loud.
• Q-Watch / Q-Lens — press L1 or LB to activate it. It highlights collectibles in yellow and lets you remotely interact with things like vacuum cleaners to distract NPCs.

You do not need the Laser Strap for this specific section, but you will want it equipped from Chapter 9 onwards for other collectibles. For a full list of everything available, see the 007 First Light all gadgets guide.

Other Things to Do on the Hotel Floor

While you are on this floor working your way to Room 206, there are a few other things worth doing before you move on.

The Manager’s Office is accessible during this chapter and contains a safe with the laundry area code and a collectible card. The safe code is 1952, based on the vintage wine displayed in the office. The 007 First Light hotel laundry area code guide explains how to get inside and find it.

There is also a Staff Only room on the first floor of the hotel where you can find the Pillow Mint memento. A staffer patrols near the entrance — distract him with the vacuum or wait for him to step away, then pickpocket his Staff Key and head inside.

If you are working through the mission objectives for the first time and want help with the bigger challenges in this chapter, the 007 First Light Classified Papers challenge guide and the 007 First Light Press Badge challenge guide cover two of the trickier optional tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Go Back to Room 205 or 206 After Leaving?

Yes. You can use chapter select to return to Checkpoint 07 and pick up anything you missed. Nothing in this section is permanently locked off as long as you replay from the correct checkpoint. The game saves collectibles as soon as you pick them up, so you can quit out immediately after grabbing something and it will be stored.

What Happens if I Miss the Room 205 Keycard?

You can always go back through chapter select. The maid will be there again when you reload Checkpoint 07. Alternatively, check the Staff Room cupboard across from the hallway guard — the keycard is there as well and does not require pickpocketing.

Is Room 206 Locked or Open?

Room 206 is opened as part of the main story objective. You do not need a separate keycard for it. Just progress through the hotel mission until you reach Checkpoint 07 and the game will direct you there.

How Long Does the Hotel Section Take?

If you are just following the main story, the hotel section moves fairly quickly. If you are going for 100% with all collectibles and challenges, expect to spend a lot more time here. For an idea of the full game length, the 007 First Light how long to beat guide has all the details.
