If certain challenges feel tricky, breaking them down into step-by-step methods can make success much easier. Precise infiltration paths and timing are your best allies here.
Pool Inspector
Early on, you need to enter the Serenity Space without being noticed to meet Lorca. Instead of walking right in, sneak in by heading to the pool below and climbing up the wall. Hang on the ledge just as Bond passes a woman relaxing in the pool, triggering this challenge for a stealthy and elegant approach.
Yogi
To infiltrate Hung Villa disguised as a yoga instructor, eavesdrop near Tranquillity Cove to learn about Ramon's prized blue yoga mat stored in a nearby room. You can then use a phone dart to pickpocket an employee's key and enter the storage room.
After stealing the key, grab the blue yoga mat. Don't forget, you need to read the yellow note on the wall first to unlock the ability to steal it. Wearing this disguise lets you stroll into Ramon's villa without confrontation, clearing the challenge almost effortlessly.
The yoga instructor disguise is key here, allowing easy access past guards who would otherwise be suspicious.
Zen No More
While youre in the storage room grabbing the yoga mat, interact with the laptop to swap the peaceful music in Tranquillity Cove with rock tunes. This audacious move completes the Zen No More challenge and adds an ironic twist to your stealthy infiltration.
The Quiet Man
One of the more demanding stealth challenges requires entering Ramon's villa without detection. Unlike some missions, you can neutralize guards on your way, provided you stay unseen overall. The path involves maneuvering around the villa's exterior using natural cover.
First, avoid the front door altogether. Head to the left side of the villa and climb the nearby cliff to gain access without alerting anyone.
Once alongside the villa's pool, move carefully along the ledge until you spot another climbable cliff face. Scaling this gets you closer while maintaining cover.
Instead of going straight for the villa, detour into a small outcove on the left. Here, enemies patrol, so use your Q-Scan frequently to ensure their vision cones don't catch you.
Slowly creep through the grass until another climb point appears. Ascend to reach the villa's roof—your entry point.
Cleverly hack open the bathroom skylight and silently take down the guard inside. Move through the villa unnoticed and confront Ramon to complete the challenge.
Bathroom Bomb
Bathroom Bomb
This challenge piggybacks on The Quiet Man's method. Perform an aerial takedown on the guard inside the villa's bathroom by accessing the roof window above. Timing and positioning are crucial to pull this off cleanly.
Party Crasher
Ellis' party is invitation-only, so your way in starts by stealing a party flyer from an NPC nearby. Distract or stun your target with environmental objects or your phone dart, then grab the flyer and slip into the party unnoticed.
Blanc the Brut
To clear this challenge, get the Velvet Lantern bartender to leave. The easiest method is to sit at the bar and order a drink, prompting the bartender to move away temporarily. This opens access to steal the keys you need without confrontation.
Key Master
For an undetected key grab from the Ocean View bar storage room, stealth and timing are everything. Here's the step-by-step approach that guarantees success.
First, after ushering the bartender away, sneak into the bar's back area through the door.
Move swiftly across the room while guards have their backs turned.
Activate the hose to distract the guards, slipping past unnoticed.
Snatch the keys and exit before anyone realizes you're there to instantly net this challenge.
Give Me a Minute
When tension rises over Lorca's vital signs, dont rush in. Simply hang back and wait a minute or two for her to stabilize, which will clear this patient-in-waiting challenge.
Silent Night
During the Emperor Villa infiltration, you gain a silenced pistol. Use precision to headshot five enemies without raising an alarm, rewarding silent and sharp shooting.
Panther
Reach the Emperor Villa roof without detection. You're expected to take out enemies here, but timing and sequencing are key to avoid alerting others. Follow these precise steps to navigate this intense stealth combat.
Shoot the guard watching you immediately to stop him from raising an alarm.
Advance until spotting a guard on your right. A quick headshot neutralizes him, then veer right.
Progress forward and take out the next guard in a swift headshot before moving on.
Ducking under the villa, shoot the guard guarding the path before he reacts to your previous kills.
Following this, the path across under the villa becomes clear. Guards will ignore you if you stick to this route.
Finally, bypass the heavily armored officer by steering into a small outcove and proceed upward to complete the challenge on the roof with little fuss.
