007 First Light puts you in the shoes of the legendary James Bond spy from MI6 and tells the new origin story for the character. The origin story begins with the “Against the Odds” prologue mission. You will get to witness a plane crash on a hostile island, where Bond is left alone and has to survive with the help of a far-off MI6 Agent. While the MI6 Agent on the broadcast drives Bond to stay out of danger, Bond also takes matters into his own hands to save the captives from the mercenaries. In this walkthrough guide, we will walk you through the Against the Odds mission in 007 First Light.
Against the Odds Mission Walkthrough – 007 First Light
Before we jump into the Against the Odds mission walkthrough, we would like to mention that there are 4 collectibles that you can find during this mission.

We will mark the point in our walkthrough for each collectible, so that you can pick them up as you follow through the main objective. Experience the new James Bond adventure by purchasing the 007 First Light Steam Key from LootBar.
1. Locate the Camp
After a plane crash cutscene, walk along the beach until you spot enemy soldiers coming your way. Crouch behind the rock and go around. Wait for the soldiers to look the other way, and then continue straight along the path to squeeze through the rocks. Continue ahead to reach a water stream with more enemies in the area. Crouch along the rock and keep walking ahead. At the end of the rock wall, there will be tall grass in which you can hide. Enter the tall grass and continue along the right. Climb up the ledge ahead, and it will initiate a cutscene.
After the cutscene, you need to look for the mercenary camp on the island. Since you are on the hill, continue the climb to get a high-point view to find the camp. It is a pretty linear path, so it is hard to miss the climbing and main pathways. Continue following along the main path of the mountain until you come out of the other end.
2. Reach the Camp
After locating the camp, you need to get close to it for further investigation. Continue along the path on the right and make your way to the climbable ledges. Keep on going until Bond slips and falls down. It was supposed to happen, so don’t sweat it. You will spot some soldiers in the distance and to your left. Crouch and continue along the grass and toward the camp. Wait for the main path to get clear and then make your way towards the open window ahead.
3. Search the Room
After the cutscene, you need to search the room for clues.
- MI6 Briefcase: It is beside the beds.
- Dead Body: Against the wall in the next room.
- SMG: In the same room as the dead body.
After inspecting all three of these items, you are free to leave the room and head into the camp. Interact with the exit door in the main room to leave.
4. Search the Camp
After leaving the room, head inside the cabin on the left. While you are in the cabin, investigate the following things.
- Lighter
- Comms Device
- Patch
- Torn Page
- Rocket Launcher
Once done, leave the cabin through the next door, and you will hear two guards calling for you.
- 7 of Acorns (Playing Card): Before you go over to the console by the guards, walk over to the shelves on the right to find the collectible.
Now, interact with the console to move the BT-65. Once done, follow along the main path to enter the next marked tent in the camp. Continue along the tent and inspect the crashed object. You need to look for it by interacting with four crates in the room. Unfortunately, you will not find it, and as you exit, you will spot two enemies with suits on. Wait for them to leave.
5. Find Antidote
To find the antidote for Bond, you need to head inside the same room from where the enemies came out. Head to the back of the room to find the green box with a bright orange stripe. This box contains the antidote. Interact with the box, and then inject both of the doses. This will initiate a cutscene.
6. Save the Captives (G9)
After the cutscene, you will spot some soldiers taking captives. You need to follow the soldier by squeezing through the rocks and climbing ledges. Keep following the path until a cutscene begins.
- Cruciform Key (Legacy): Drop down the ledge and enter the F8 Container on the right. The Cruciform Key will be on the shelf to the right of the TV.
- Iceland Postcard: There is a postcard collectible close by. Exit the F8 Container, and go to the right to spot the B2 Container. Sneak inside this container and take down the guard inside. Pick up the collectible from the desk.
Now, to the main objective. Head to the G9 container. The main entrance will be locked. Go to the left side and interact with the radio to distract the guard. As the guard gets closer, perform the take-down. Now, take care of the other guard ahead. Once done, enter the G9 container. There will be another guard inside; take him down, too.
- Satellite Part (Memento): The collectible is on the table in the same container (G9).
Now, loot the guard inside the container to get the key. Use the key to open the door and save the captives.
7. Save the Captives (B4)
After saving the first group of captives, the position of the other group will be revealed. Follow the quest marker to the B4 container. You can clear out the way by interacting with a console outside G9 to drive the BT-65. Once the soldiers are busy figuring it out, you can sneak ahead. Make your way to the B4 container. There is a small pit beside this container, which will lead you to an open window on the side. Climb through the window to get inside the container. Take out the guard inside the container and free the captives.
8. Escape
After freeing the captives, head up the ladder inside the B4 container. Once you are on the roof, interact with the mast wire to loosen it. Now, all you have to do is run. Follow the quest markers on the screen and run to make the escape. As you reach the end, enjoy the cutscene, and the prologue will conclude.
