What to know
- The Soft Landing trophy in 007 First Light requires you to tackle an enemy off a ledge while holding onto them.
- The key requirement is to keep your grip active and never release the grab button during the fall.
- You need a ledge that is high enough to drop from but low enough that Bond survives the landing.
- The trophy unlocks after you and the enemy fall together while Bond maintains control.
007 First Light features several action-based trophies that test how you use Bond’s combat abilities. The Soft Landing trophy focuses on environmental combat, requiring you to use a ledge as part of your takedown. Unlike simply throwing an enemy over an edge, this achievement requires Bond to stay attached and fall with the target.
Here’s how you can complete the requirement and unlock the trophy.

Where to unlock the Soft Landing trophy
You can unlock Soft Landing anywhere you find an enemy near a safe drop location. The best spots are areas with small platforms, stairs, balconies, or ledges where Bond can fall without dying. Avoid extremely high drops because the goal is not to throw the enemy away but to survive the fall while keeping control of them.
How to tackle an enemy off a ledge in 007 First Light
Step 1
Find an enemy positioned close to a ledge or an area with a small drop. It helps to clear nearby enemies first so you have enough space to line up the takedown without interruptions.
Step 2
Approach the enemy and hold R2 to grab them. This starts the grapple state, allowing Bond to control the enemy’s movement.
Step 3
While holding the enemy, move toward the ledge. The most important part of this trophy is that you must not release R2 at any point. Letting go can turn the move into a regular shove or break the required action.
Step 4
Keep pushing forward until Bond and the enemy both go over the edge together. If done correctly, Bond will maintain his grip during the fall and use the enemy to soften the landing.
Step 5
After the animation finishes, the Soft Landing trophy should unlock. If it does not appear, try again from another ledge and make sure you are continuously holding the grab button throughout the entire movement.
Soft Landing trophy tips
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Enemy falls alone | Keep holding R2 and do not release your grip |
| Bond lets go before falling | Maintain the grab input until after landing |
| Character dies from the fall | Choose a shorter ledge |
| Enemy attacks before setup | Damage, stun, or isolate the enemy first |
The Soft Landing trophy is a simple but precise challenge once you understand the requirement. The trick is not just knocking an enemy off a ledge, but forcing both Bond and the enemy over together while keeping the grapple active. Find a safe drop, hold R2, and keep moving forward until the special landing triggers.
