Chapter 2 — A Night Out — 007 First Light Walkthrough

Overview

A Night Out is the chapter where IO’s Hitman lineage shows up unmasked. Bond, Monroe, and Cressida are sent into a London nightclub — main stage, bar, men’s toilets, upstairs lounge, VIP section, balcony — to hack a corrupt informant’s phone, sabotage him, and intercept his real handler. The mission also wraps into the bridging segment “A Matter of Considerable Delicacy” at MI6, where Q kits Bond out with his first proper gadget loadout.

It’s a social-stealth playground with four routes upstairs and three routes into the VIP. The chapter teaches Bluff, Disguises, pickpocketing, and Q-Lab loadouts — every social-stealth pillar gets a tutorial pass.

Targets

  • Joshua Pike — man in the white shirt, takes a call inside the VIP section. Hack, sabotage, lure.
  • Pike’s Contact — woman in black at the bar / back room. The real handler; Bond has to Convince her.

Objectives (in order)

  1. Find the contact in red by the bar. The woman in red is a distraction; the man in the red T-shirt is the real contact.
  2. Locate the pickup in the men’s toilets — third stall canister.
  3. Beat her jealous boyfriend in close combat.
  4. Get upstairs (four routes — see below).
  5. Investigate Joshua Pike — stand near him to hack his phone.
  6. Gain access to the VIP section.
  7. Get rid of Pike — lure him to the toilets, then the Sabotage prompt.
  8. Confront Pike’s contact (woman in black) — Convince path.
  9. Fight out to the extraction point with Monroe.

Four routes upstairs

RouteHow
Balcony stealthVault the gap left of the main stage exit, climb the platforms, ledge-shimmy, jump to the balcony.
Above and BeyondRooftop / lighting-rig path.
Front doorPickpocket a stamp at the bar, walk past the guards.
Brute forcePoison-dart both guards using chemicals from the side room near the “Jones” conversation.

Three routes into VIP

  • Waiter disguise — grab a tray, mingle, sabotage the bathroom door.
  • Stamp / press-pass — same stamp route as the front door.
  • Sneak behind the bar — bluff or poison-dart.

Walkthrough

Boyfriend brawl. The woman in red triggers a jealous-boyfriend confrontation in the toilets. This is Bond’s first parry-enabled fistfight — chain parries to build Instinct, which makes every Bluff prompt upstairs cheaper.

Chemicals double-dip. The side room off the bar (where you overhear the “Jones” conversation) has two chemical refills. Grab one, dart a guard, come back for the second. Cheapest way to clear two patrols if you’re committing to the brute-force route.

Convince path. When you sit down with Pike’s contact, the woman in red interrupts mid-conversation — that’s scripted. Stay on the contact’s dialogue tree, ignore the interruption. The “Convince” prompt unlocks after the interruption resolves.

Extraction brawl. Fixed enemy count. It’s a fistfight, not a shootout. Monroe takes the pressure off; focus on parries and grabs, build a chain, end clean.

Q-Lab bridge. The chapter rolls into “A Matter of Considerable Delicacy” — leave M’s office, hit the Q-Lab, and load out for Slovakia. The Wearables section here gates the Dagger Shoe Legacy Item.

Tips

  • Parry the boyfriend in the toilet for the Instinct bank. The whole second half gets easier.
  • Chemicals respawn in pairs. Don’t burn both at once.
  • Ignore the woman in red during the Convince dialogue.
  • Disguises are hats, not full costumes. Watchers (white-dot enemies) still see through them.
  • The extraction brawl is a fistfight by design. No gunplay needed.
