007 First Light Guide: How to Bypass the Sensors and Open a Path for Greenway

Quick Answer: To disable the Webb Industries security grid during the Knightfall mission, use the hidden vent behind the stacked boxes to move between offices. Hack the De Broglie meeting room by aiming your Q-Watch through the window blinds, then backtrack through the vents to reach it. Use the tablet inside to summon a cleaning robot, which will open the main doors so you can reach the security kill switch.

The Knightfall mission throws a massive wrench into your momentum when you reach the Webb Industries office floor. Instead of engaging in a classic Bond firefight, you are abruptly stopped by a hallway completely covered in floor sensors. Your objective vaguely demands you “open a path for Greenway.” Instead of endlessly trying to sprint through lasers and triggering massive alarms, you actually just need to use the local cleaning staff to your advantage.

Finding the Hidden Vent

You cannot progress straight down the main corridor. Instead, look immediately to your right. Notice that stack of cardboard boxes shoved into the corner? It is hiding your bypass route.

• Grab the box on the far right.
• Drag it out into the hallway.
• Crouch down and crawl into the exposed ventilation shaft.

Take the first left turn inside the ductwork. This will drop you safely into Isola Vale’s private office, placing you directly behind the initial set of locked doors.

The Tricky Line-of-Sight Hack

Here is where the puzzle gets finicky. The game demands a very precise angle to pull off the next hack.

Carefully walk out of Isola Vale’s office and back into the main hallway. You will find yourself sandwiched between two active floor sensors. Stay totally still. Look to your right toward the De Broglie meeting room. You need to hack the door’s interior control panel with your Q-Watch, but you cannot do it through solid walls.

Scan the glass wall for a section where the window blinds are pulled up. Aim your gadget through that specific gap until the interior sensor highlights, then trigger the hack. By the way, if you make a mistake and alert the local security forces while trying to line this up, button mashing will get you killed.

Summoning the Cleaning Robot

You unlocked the door, but you still cannot walk over the lasers to get inside. It is time to head back into the walls.

Retrace your steps into the exact same vent you just used. This time, take the alternative left path. You will drop right into Damien Webb’s personal office. Walk out his main door, hang a left in the corridor, and stroll straight into the De Broglie room you just hacked.

Look around for a large smart tablet sitting on a table or mounted on the wall. Interact with it to request room cleaning services. A robotic vacuum cleaner will immediately deploy, and the main hallway doors will automatically slide open to let it through.

Simply follow the little robot through those wide-open doors to reach the opposite side of the hall. Find the primary security panel on the wall, flip the switch, and the entire laser grid will shut down. Greenway can now stroll right through, and you can continue your mission.
