Bond arrives, alone, at a sun-soaked Vietnamese resort. Q has supplied a batch of Q-Traks — tiny trackers — and the job is to tag three people of interest moving through the grounds, then use what you learn to get next to Damien Webb. The resort is an open sandbox of pools, bars, spa decks and waterways, so most objectives have more than one way in.
The premise is simple to state and tricky to pull off: three targets, one Q-Trak each, all under guard, all in different corners of the resort.
You start in your villa. Pick up Q's package to receive the Q-Traks and the objective to tag the three targets. Sweep the room before you leave — there's a collectible by the bathroom sink — then head out into the resort.
You can tackle the three in any order. The route below is roughly easiest to hardest.
Theresa Lorca — the Serenity Space spa. Lorca is the quickest tag. From the villa, take the stone steps down and look for the grassy path branching off to the right. Climb the low ledge and shimmy along it, slipping past the couple in the pool, then vault onto the grass to drop into the spa unseen. Reaching her this way without forcing reception to clear earns the Pool Inspector challenge. (Alternatively you can hack the spa radio with the Q-Watch to make two guests leave reception, but that route has no challenge attached.) Plant the Q-Trak once you're close.
Ellis White — the Ocean View / party bar. Head southeast and down toward the bar; the entrance is blocked by guards. Two women standing nearby are holding a party flyer — stun them with the Dart Phone or Laser Strap, pickpocket the flyer, and show it to the guards to get in (Party Crasher). To reach the back, read the wine list at the end of the bar and place an order; the bartender steps away, letting you slip behind the counter (Blanc the Brut). In the storage room you need the minibar key: turn on the hose from the red toolbox to pull a guard away, then grab the key taped to the open cabinet by the sink and vault out (Key Master). Ellis is sulking about being cut off from the bar — open the minibar and fix him a drink (the strong one he asks for) to win him over, slipping the Q-Trak into the drink while he's distracted.
Ramon Hernandez — the Hung Villa (Yoga disguise). Ramon is the paranoid one, holed up in the Hung Villa to the southwest behind two guards. Chat to those guards and you'll learn Ramon is expecting a yoga instructor — your way in. Head northeast to Tranquility Cove, where a yoga class is running. Hang on the railing to eavesdrop on the instructor, then follow him; when he settles into a pose, step onto the empty mat opposite and ask for help. While he's demonstrating, pickpocket the Storage Key (the Dart Phone can make him queasy to create the opening). Open the storage room he was guarding to grab Ramon's blue yoga mat — the disguise piece. Interacting with the storage laptop to swap the yoga music nets Zen No More. Now equipped as the instructor, return to the Hung Villa guards, who wave you through, and head up to plant the Q-Trak on Ramon (Yogi). Two harder, mutually exclusive challenges live here — Bathroom Bomb (climb the cliffs and hack the skylight to take out the bathroom guard) and The Quiet Man (reach Ramon with no detections and no kills) — so replay a checkpoint to clean up both.
With all three Q-Traks placed, the story moves to the resort's evening party. Bond changes into a tuxedo — there's a short bowtie sequence — and you can search the suite and hallway for more collectibles before heading down.
The chapter shifts from sandbox infiltration into a tighter stealth-and-action stretch as Bond closes on Damien Webb. Things go sideways: Bond is taken prisoner and you escape from handcuffs, then fight and sneak your way out. Keep an eye out for a couple of final collectibles along this escape route. The chapter ends on the confrontation that sets up the back half of the campaign.
