The game naturally pushes you to stay close to Greenway during the training introduction, so many players run straight ahead without exploring the small side setup near the practice grounds. The postcard also blends into the environment because of the compact table and surrounding props.

Fortunately, 007 First Light allows full chapter replay and checkpoint selection, so you can always return later if you accidentally skip it.


Since there is only a single collectible in The Needle’s Eye, this chapter is one of the fastest 100% completion segments in the game. Once you grab the Malta Postcard, you can safely continue the story without worrying about additional hidden items in this mission.
