In 007 First Light, the Penthouse Safe is hidden in Sir Nicholas Webb’s office (the penthouse office in Chapter 12: Knightfall), and the code is 1493. Here’s everything you need to know to open it.
How to Decode the Safe Code (Step-by-Step)
Step 1: Find Isola’s Note
Look for Isola’s note in the office that spells out the hint: “Diploma. Painting. Game. Model.” This tells you the order of the four objects to examine.
Step 2: Examine the Four Objects
Examine each item in sequence to extract the digits:
Step 3: Reveal the Safe
Go behind the desk and open the drawer.
Step 4: Enter the Code
Go to the hidden safe.
And enter 1493.
Critical Mistakes to Avoid
-
Don’t look for a visible safe – it’s hidden behind a secret panel triggered by the desk drawer.
-
Don’t skip examining all four objects – each description contains the digit you need.
-
Don’t enter the code in wrong order – the note specifies: Diploma → Painting → Game → Model.
And that’s it—you’ve unlocked the Penthouse Safe and secured the Basilisk command code to take down Isola. With the code 1493 and the hidden safe location in Webb’s desk, Chapter 12’s biggest puzzle is solved.
