The Past Never Dies Challenges Overview in 007 First Light

Challenge	Description	How to Complete
Pacifist: The Past Never Dies	Complete "Sightseeing", "Easy does it", and "Silent Line".	These challenges are all listed below, as they are pacificst related challenges throughout the mission.
Ghost: The Past Never Dies	Complete "Laser show", "Silence is violence", and "The Big Bang".	"Silence is Violence" and "The Big Bang" can be completed in the same section (posted below), but "Laser Show" is on 009's boat.
Assault: The Past Never Dies	Complete "Fall guy", "Bottled it!", and "Make them count".	"Fall Guy" and "Bottled It!" are achieved in the Fight Pit, but "Make Them Count" is the very last part of the chapter.
Fall Guy	Defeat Omar by throwing him over the railing.	When you volunteer to fight in the Fight Pit, you'll be tested against Omar. When the fight begins, hold R2/RT to charge him off the ledge.
Bottled It!	Hit every enemy with a throwable object.	There are 4 total enemies in the Fight Pit, so make sure you save the glass bottles inside the arena so you can hit each of them.
Hammer Time	Defeat 'The Hammer' at the fight pit.	The Hammer is the last opponent in the Fight Pit, so just make sure you beat the rest.
Silent Line	Get the burner phone in Scorpius' hideout without eliminating or knocking out anyone.	We have a guide that will walk you through this, posted below.
Soldier Boy	Use a disguise inside the Scorpius hideout.	In the Scorpius hideout, you can find the disguise hat on a table on the left side of the shipwreck's ground floor.
Art Lover	Complete the Scorpius deal.	The Scorpious deal begins in the market, at the back right side, after eavesdropping on the guards. We have a full guide you can find for this mission here!
Sightseeing	Reach the antenna without knocking out or eliminating enemies.	We have a full guide covering this stealth-related challenge below.
Secure Transaction	Hack the crypto hardware wallet.	You can start this side mission in the market by heading through the yellow container and eavesdropping on the man's conversation on the left.
Shoot 'Em Up	Take on the shooting range challenge.	The shooting range challenge is in the back area past the yellow container in the market, and costs $3,000 to enter.
Gunslinger	Hit all targets in the shooting range.	After paying for the shooting range challenge, make sure you hit all 10 targets.
Cupped	Play the cup game in the market.	On the right inside the market, you can play the Cup Game for $3,500. You can only win if you use the Q-Lens to watch the jewel (L1/LB).
Show Me the Money	Collect 140k in the market.	Complete Fight Pit, Cup Game (or Shooting Range), then Scorpius to acquire $140,000. We have a guide covering this challenge here.
Tech Support	Help Rogue Decoder fix his setup.	After acquiring the funds, you will find a DJ in distress. Go to the soundbar (turn around) and follow the yellow wire to the fuse box and generator.
Easy Does It	Reach the crane without knocking out or eliminating enemies.	After the auction, you need to complete the whole section without knocking anyone out. We have a guide covering this below, along with the "No Trouble At All" challenge.
No Trouble At All	Do not trigger any confrontations in "The past never dies".	This is essentially a ghost mission where you can't be seen trespassing by enemies. We have a guide covering this with "Easy Does It".
Silence is Violence	Perform 10 silent takedowns in "The past never dies".	In the section where you need to reach the crane, you will easily find more than 10 enemies to take out.
The Big Bang	Kill 3 enemies with a single explosion.	While the final encounter of the mission has plenty of red barrels, the section where you need to reach the crane is also great for baiting enemies into red barrels and then shooting them when they're gathered around you.
Laser Show	Reveal the lasers on 009's boat in every possible way.	Use the sprinklers, Smoke Pod gadget, and the Phone Dart or Laser Strap on the hanging pots.
Wheels Up	Get the Land Rover to lift its wheels off the ground.	On your way to the shipwreck after the crane section, you will drive a car, and just by following the ramps to your objective at full speed, you will get this challenge.
Make Them Count	Eliminate 6 enemies with one pistol magazine during the last stand.	After exhausting your AR's ammo, your ally will give you his pistol. Now, just make sure to get 6 headshots with one magazine (one mag is 8 bullets, so use Focus to slow time).

We've added guides below that require a bit more help, and each of them has a video for you to follow along with!

How to Complete the Silent Line Challenge in 007 First Light

After you finish a conversation with Moneypenny, you can head down the stairs and take an immediate right. You'll find two guards standing by a door, and you can distract them by using the Q-Lens on the TV or by shutting off the generator to the right.

Once they're distracted, head inside, and you'll reach the Scorpius Hideout. You can easily stealth through this section by climbing the box on the left, navigating up the stairs, and then heading over to the right. The video above will walk you through the entire section.

How to Complete the Sightseeing Challenge in 007 First Light

From the entrance of the market, go east through a yellow container, then take a left. There's a man on the phone whom you can eavesdrop on, which begins the Crypto Wallet sub-objective. By following the objectives, you will eventually reach a well-guarded area.

You will need to reach the antenna without alerting or fighting any guards for the challenge, and you can check out the video above to see exactly how this is done, thanks to the guards' scripted pathing that you can take advantage of.
