  "textContent": "The Past Never Dies is the longest and most varied chapter in IO Interactive's 007 First Light, dropping Bond into the desert black market of Aleph in Mauritania with one goal: infiltrate the auction, find 009, and survive the fallout.\n\nThe mission, listed as chapter 10 in the campaign, mixes money-making side activities, stealth infiltration, a fight pit, and a heavy gun battle at the end. It carries 23 challenges, and clearing all of them unlocks the Mauritania outfit for TacSim.\n\nDrive through the desert to reach Aleph.

Stick to the narrow road, take the right turn at the roadblock, and keep going to trigger a cutscene.\n\nFollow Greenway into the shipwreck. Image Credit: IO Interactive A/S\n\nFollow Greenway inside the shipwreck. You will lose him briefly, so head right, turn left, and beat three attackers in hand-to-hand combat before exiting the door.\n\nReach the upper section to trigger a cutscene. Image Credit: IO Interactive A/S\n\nContinue up to Bawma's men. Speaking with them reveals you need an invitation and $100,000 to enter the auction. Return to Greenway to begin raising the money.\n\nBawma's men set the $100,000 entry fee. Image Credit: IO Interactive A/S\n\n* * *\n\n### How to earn the $100,000 auction fee in Aleph\n\nThere are several ways to make money in the market, and you only need to combine a few to clear the fee. Note that some activities require an entry payment first, so start with the Fight Pit. To clear the Show Me the Money challenge, you need to bank $140,000 total.\n\nThe Crypto Wallet job is started by speaking with Nirmala. Image Credit: IO Interactive A/S Activity| Reward and notes\n---|---\nFight Pit| $60,000. Beat the trial against Omar, then win three rounds.\nScorpius Deal| $52,000. Get the burner phone, then sell the art at container 76.\nCrypto Wallet| $50,000. Hack a phone, pickpocket the wallet, plug it into the antenna.\nJewel of Jahari (Cup Game)| $30,000. Pay $3,500, track the jewel with the Q-Lens, return it to Nirmala.\nShooting range| $30,000. Pay $3,000 to Basim, hit all 10 targets.\nPickpocket wallets| $3,200–$4,000 each from guards.\n\n* * *\n\n### Win the auction and reach 009's boat\n\nPay Bawma's men, follow Greenway to the auction, and take a seat. Your opening bid choice does not change the outcome, so pick any. When Leung bids, use your watch to hack the polygraph machine, then choose Improvise to win.\n\nAfterward, you split from Greenway and take a separate route to 009's boat. Use the zipline, climb across the ships, and rely on the Q-Watch on electric cabinets and ladders to slip past pirates. A stereo near the top can lure a lone guard for a quiet takedown before you drop down to the boat.\n\n* * *\n\n### All 23 challenges and the Mauritania outfit\n\nChallenges split across the market, the Scorpius hideout, the antenna section, and the crane escape. They are grouped into Pacifist, Ghost, and Assault routes, and you can replay checkpoints through Chapter Select to mop up anything you miss. Challenges are not tied to difficulty, so you can complete them on Novice.\n\nChallenge| How to complete\n---|---\nSilent Line| Grab the burner phone in the Scorpius hideout without any takedowns.\nSightseeing| Reach the antenna without alerting or hitting guards.\nEasy Does It / No Trouble At All| Reach the crane after the auction with no confrontations.\nFall Guy| Hold R2/RT to charge Omar over the railing.\nBottled It!| Hit all four Fight Pit enemies with throwable bottles.\nSilence is Violence| Perform 10 silent takedowns in the crane section.\nThe Big Bang| Kill 3 enemies with one explosion using red barrels.\nLaser Show| Reveal the boat lasers with sprinklers, Smoke Pod, and Phone Dart or Laser Strap.\nMake Them Count| Get 6 headshots with one pistol magazine during the last stand using Focus.\n\nClearing every challenge here adds the Mauritania outfit to your TacSim wardrobe and pushes you closer to full mission mastery, which is reason enough to revisit Aleph once the credits on this chapter roll.",
