During the chase in Chapter 3 of 007 First Light, you end up in the dining room and suddenly find yourself facing a locked mechanism at the fireplace. Without the right clue, you won’t be able to move forward. The game gives you a clear lead, though — you just have to read it correctly.

In the middle of the room, you’ll find a serving cart. On it is a torn-out book page showing a mechanical sketch of a chimera. That detail is the key to the puzzle. A chimera is a hybrid creature made up of three animals: a lion, a goat, and a snake. That’s the clue you need for the fireplace keypad.

At the fireplace, you’ll see a keypad with several animal symbols. Your task is to select the symbols that belong to the chimera. Interact with the keypad at the fireplace and press the symbols for the lion, billy goat, and snake. The order doesn’t matter. Just make sure all three correct animals are activated.

Once you’ve pressed the symbols, the mechanism will react and a secret passage will open behind the fireplace, letting you continue the mission and follow the trail. If nothing happens, check again to make sure you really selected the three correct animal symbols. No other combination works.
