Defeating Murto in Chapter 11
In chapter 11 of 007 First Light, players face the formidable assassin Murto. The critical error here is to approach him directly; hand-to-hand combat with Murto is a guaranteed loss. Instead, this chapter emphasizes stealth and environmental strategy. You’ll need to utilize available traps to defeat him, making use of patience and clever tactics.
Understanding the Battlefield
The fight unfolds in a dimly lit museum basement filled with shelves and patrol routes. Your primary goal is to deplete Murto’s three health bars by triggering environmental traps without letting him see you.
Staying crouched and maneuvering between the shelves is key; if you pass a motion sensor with a red light, it will trigger a response from Murto, allowing you to lure him into traps.
Utilizing environmental traps
There are two significant traps you can exploit:
- Chandelier: At the start, look for the chandelier overhead. Using either the Laser Strap or Dart Phone, shoot the support just as Murto walks underneath it. This will land the first hit, knocking out a full health bar.
- Industrial Lights: Positioned between the shelf gaps, these lights can be hacked with the Q Clock. When Murto is in front of them, activate the lights to damage him and deplete another health bar.
Setting up your traps
Unfortunately, you won’t always have Murto in the correct position to trigger these traps. To maneuver him effectively, you can use radios scattered throughout the room. When activated, these radios distract him, prompting him to approach them. This provides the perfect opportunity to lure him under the chandelier or in front of the industrial lights.
If necessary, purposefully trigger motion sensors from a safe spot and then sprint to a hiding location to ensure Murto follows you without catching you.
Collectibles in Chapter 11
After finally conquering Murto, it’s essential to search the area for collectibles, as they significantly enhance the gameplay experience. The collectibles in this chapter will be listed in the order you encounter them:
- Bond Family Photo: Found in Bond’s bedroom on the nightstand to the right of the bed.

- Horse of Roses: Behind a door upstairs after clearing the room of enemies.
