Grand Carpathian Hotel / entry routes
007 First Light mixes campaign routes, gadget problem-solving, safe codes, and mission blockers. This page keeps the quick answer tied to the in-game location so you can jump back into the route without losing context.
Route A — Press badge in the flower pot
Eavesdrop on the journalist in the tan pantsuit on the terrace — she mentions stashing a colleague's badge. Head down to the lower terrace; the badge is in a grey concrete flower pot on the railing by the boarded-up well. Present it at the checkpoint to walk in the front.
Route B — Press badge in the security tent
Use the Dart Phone on the guard beside the security tent, slip behind the second guard, and take the badge from the metal case inside the tent. Then use it at the checkpoint.
Route C — Fire distraction, then window
Grab a lighter (from a staffer on a bench, or the man one level down — use the garden hose to distract him). Light the wheelbarrow of dry leaves left of the checkpoint. While guards respond, vault the railing, climb the drainpipe, and enter through the open window above the tent.
Route D — Pure stealth window climb
From the metal detectors, look right and vault the blue tarp/ledge, follow it across, climb the pipe, and kick the metal gate to get inside with no badge at all. (You can also simply bluff past guards if you've banked enough Instinct.)
