Step 3: Grab the left-side collectible first

Before leaving the area, turn left and kick down the door to the side office.

And pick up the Ace of Shields playing card. This is the main missable-looking pickup in the segment, but it is not actually missable because chapter select supports cleanup later.

Step 4: Continue toward the core objective

After clearing Moneypenny’s area, keep moving toward the next story beat involving THEIA and the core route. 

Critical mistakes to avoid

  • Don’t assume you need a hidden puzzle here; the objective is mostly linear and triggers by reaching the correct room.

  • Don’t skip the left-side office if you want the Ace of Shields card, because that’s the cleanest pickup in this section.

  • Don’t worry if you miss a collectible on the first pass; chapter select and instant collectible saving make cleanup easy.

  • If the area feels like it should branch, follow the safest rule: go where the mission marker points, then sweep left for loot only when you reach Moneypenny’s office zone.

Collectibles in this segment

Collectible Where it is How to get it Missable?
Ace of Shields Left side office near Moneypenny’s office/pod area Kick down the door and collect it from the table inside No, because chapter select is available. 
MI6 Postcard In the For England chapter near the Moneypenny segment Pick it up while following the mission route No, because nothing is missable. 

Completing Locate Moneypenny efficiently saves time and prevents you from backtracking for the Ace of Shields collectible later, since the item is right beside the main route. The chapter’s linear design makes this one of the easier story objectives to clear cleanly on the first pass.
