The hotel is the first major location players will visit, but James won’t be able to bluff his way inside as the guard demands he see a press badge in 007 First Light. While there are multiple ways to still get inside the hotel, getting the press badge is one of the easier ones, as it does not require any climbing. However, you’ll need to employ some classic spycraft to secure one, and using the badge to get inside the hotel’s chess tournament will also complete the Press Only challenge in 007 First Light.

How to Get a Press Badge in 007 First Light (Press Only Challenge)
After James decides to follow a mysterious bellhop during the “All the Time in the World” chapter, he’s stopped by a guard at the entrance. The guard will demand that James display a press badge to get inside, which he doesn’t have yet. Players will need to employ a bit of spycraft to get the press badge and enter the hotel.
To get the press badge in 007 First Light, players will first need to head to the woman in the courtyard who’s talking on the phone. Eavesdrop on the conversation, and you’ll find out that she has hidden a press badge under one of the big pots on the lower ramparts.
Once the interaction is over, you’ll need to take the stairs to the left of the woman. Take the staircase down the lower ramparts and head to the southern area.
Head near to one of the pots that I’ve marked in the image above to uncover a press badge conveniently hidden inside.
Return to the security guard at the entrance and show him the press badge in 007 First Light. After verifying the credentials on the badge, players will be able to enter the hotel without any problems. Gaining entry inside the hotel to attend the chess tournament will also complete the “Press Only” challenge in 007 First Light.
