  "textContent": "The fireplace puzzle in _007 First Light_ blocks Bond's chase through the Grand Carpathian Hotel during the All The Time In The World mission. A blond suspect slips through a hidden passage behind the dining room fireplace, leaving you to figure out which three of the animal-marked buttons on the wall open it.\n\n🎯\n\nQuick answer: Press the lion, the snake, and the ram (goat) buttons above the fireplace to open the hidden passage.\n\n* * *\n\n### Where the puzzle appears\n\nThe puzzle sits in the grand dining room on the upper floors of the Slovakian hotel. After chasing the blond man, you arrive to find the room empty and a row of animal symbols mounted above the fireplace. The mechanism is the only way forward.\n\nThe puzzle sits in the grand dining room | Image credit: __IO Interactive A/S (via YouTube/@ConCon)__\n\n* * *\n\n### The clue on the laundry cart\n\nIn the center of the dining room, there is a laundry cart with a torn book page resting on it. Inspect the page. The illustration shows a single creature whose body is stitched together from three different animals, which is a chimera in classical mythology, made of a lion, a goat, and a serpent.\n\nThose three animals are the answer. The buttons above the fireplace include several decoy creatures, but only the lion, snake, and ram (goat) match the chimera on the page.\n\n* * *\n\n### Solving the fireplace puzzle\n\n**Step 1:** Walk to the laundry cart in the middle of the dining room and interact with the torn page to register the chimera clue.\n\n**Step 2:** Approach the panel of animal buttons above the fireplace.\n\n**Step 3:** Press the lion, the snake, and the ram (goat). Order is not required, only the correct three selections.\n\nOnce the third correct button is pressed, the fireplace mechanism unlocks, and the hidden passage opens, letting Bond continue his pursuit into the next area.\n\nPress the lion, the snake, and the ram | Image credit: __IO Interactive A/S (via YouTube/@ConCon)__\n\n* * *\n\n### How to confirm it worked\n\nThe back of the fireplace slides away, and a passage is revealed behind it. If nothing happens, you have selected a wrong animal somewhere in the sequence. Re-read the chimera illustration and try again, sticking strictly to lion, snake, and ram.\n\n📖\n\nTip: The book the torn page came from can be found behind the stage near the tournament screen, the same area used for the laundry room code. It hints that the hotel hides secret architecture, which is what points Bond toward the fireplace in the first place.",
