007 First Light Collectibles Guide: Every Postcard, Intel, Memento, Card, and Legacy Item

All Things How May 28, 2026

007 First Light hides 92 collectibles across its 17 chapters, and tracking them down is the only meaningful obstacle between you and the Platinum trophy. The good news: a chapter select option lets you mop up anything you missed without replaying the campaign from scratch.

IO Interactive's James Bond origin story splits its pickups into five categories — Postcards, Intel (MI6 files), Mementos, Playing Cards, and Legacy Items — each tied to its own trophy. Most are tucked just off the critical path, and the game autosaves the moment you grab one, so a single checkpoint visit is enough to register the find.

Collectible totals and trophies

Five categories, five trophies. Here is what you are chasing and what each set unlocks.

Collectible	Count	Trophy
Postcards	10	The World Is Not Enough
Intel (MI6 Files)	23	For Your Eyes Only
Mementos	14	Recovered Assets
Playing Cards	36	Casino Royale
Legacy Items	9	(Bond movie references)

Intel files behave differently from the rest: interacting with one logs it to your menu but leaves the object in the world. Their visual design also varies wildly — folders, computer screens, even a wooden spoon — so it pays to interact with everything you walk past.

All postcard locations

Ten postcards, one per location theme. The Mauritania pickup in Chapter 10 requires the Laser Strap gadget you earn in Chapter 9, so loop back for it on a second pass.

All Intel (MI6 file) locations

The 23 MI6 files flesh out backstory for characters like 009, Caliban, and the Murto twins. Two of them sit behind cabinets — Q's Photo in Chapter 15 uses the code 4397, taken from the license plate of the car parked next to it.

All memento locations

Because Intel files autosave the instant you interact with them and the chapter select preserves progress, the cleanest approach is to play through the story once for narrative beats and then run focused replays per chapter — especially Chapters 8, 10, 11, 12, and 14, which carry the heaviest collectible density.
