Metro 2039Time to Die
Time to Die is mission 08 of 007 First Light (Chapter 14 in PowerPyx's list), set at The Pearl, a luxury resort in Vietnam, where Bond goes undercover as a rich playboy to stop a murder. Bond arrives by speedboat; the game's boat chase comes later, in Wave of the Future.
Time to Die is mission 08 of 007 First Light in IO Interactive's numbering (IOI's 1.3.0 patch notes) and Chapter 14 in guide sites' 17-chapter list. IOI's line for it: Bond goes "undercover as a rich playboy at a luxurious tropical resort in Vietnam to stop a murder". The resort is The Pearl, and Bond works alone this time, planting trackers on three guests named by Moneypenny before the night goes wrong and ends in a quarry (Beebom, Into Indie Games). It is not the last mission: Wave of the Future and For England follow. It comes after Knightfall.

Is there a boat chase in Time to Die?
Not a chase. Bond reaches The Pearl by boat at the start, and IOI's patch notes call it a speedboat: 1.1.0 fixed "invisible collision on the water during the speedboat ride", 1.0.5 fixed players getting stuck on a docked boat at the start of the mission, and 1.3.0 fixed the boat sitting still until a cinematic ended. The pursuit at the end of Time to Die is on foot and in a mining truck through a quarry. The boat chase players search for is in Wave of the Future, across icy water in Antarctica (Into Indie Games). More on Driving and Chases.
Before you go
The cutscene chapter before it, PowerPyx's Chapter 13 Going Old School, ends with M sending Bond on a black op and Q equipping him (Into Indie Games). Into Indie Games takes a silenced service pistol, the Laser Strap and the Dart Phone; the Dart Phone and the Laser Strap are both used to stun guards for keys here. See Gadgets.
Walkthrough (Spoilers)
This follows Into Indie Games' walkthrough (Jun 3, 2026) and describes the whole mission, including how it ends for one main character.
Arrive and plant the Q-Traks
Follow the concierge to your villa and collect the package with the Q-Glasses and the Q-Trak. Moneypenny names three Caliban targets: Ellis White, Theresa Lorca and Ramon Hernandez.
- Ellis White: eavesdrop at the Velvet Lantern booth to learn he is at the Ocean View Bar. Turn on a hose to distract two women and take their invitation. In the storage room behind the bar, dart the barman, hide behind the blue water tank, turn on the hose and take the mini-bar keys, then slip the Q-Trak into Ellis's Tequila Slammer.
- Theresa Lorca: eavesdrop at the Tranquility Platform gym to learn she is at the Serenity Space, hack the radio behind the desk to move two guests, and talk to her.
- Ramon Hernandez: eavesdrop in the Tranquility Cave about a yoga mat, stun the guard with the storage key and pickpocket it, take the mat and go to the Hung Villa as his yoga instructor. Say "Aqua Verde" to win his trust.
With all three live, you have three hours before Damien Webb arrives. When Lorca's heart rate drops, run to her villa: she was free diving for a breath-holding record.
The party
Bond cannot tie a bow tie, so Q talks him through it in button prompts. At the Emperor Villa, sneak, shoot suppressed or fight to the rooftop, where Damien and Murto hold Lorca and White. Free White from the wine cellar (he wakes and attacks, so knock him out again), then zipline to the burning house. Beat Murto with grabs, parries and counters, kick him into the flames and pull Lorca out through a window. PowerPyx's trophy Double or die is for saving her.
The quarry and Damien
Bond wakes tied to a marble slab facing a saw Damien has hacked with Bond's own Q-Watch. Stall him in dialogue until Greenway arrives as a sniper. Handcuffed and unarmed, cross the quarry and have Greenway shoot explosives to clear the path. Then climb into a construction truck, knock out its driver, pick Greenway up and split up to chase Damien.
Damien is boosted by a liquid he has taken, so punches are useless. Back off, throw rocks, and turn the lights on him to blind and stun him, then strike; metal tubes falling from above finish the fight. PowerPyx's You know my name is for defeating him.
Greenway
Greenway is badly wounded and asks Bond to sit and take in the view. He dies there; his last words are "Don't let it change you" (GamingBolt). See John Greenway and Story.
Collectibles in Time to Die
PowerPyx counts 11 (PowerPyx):
| Collectible | Type | Where |
|---|---|---|
| Banner of Acorns | Card | Your villa's bathroom |
| 8 of Shields | Card | A lantern at the Tranquility Platform |

| Tarot Deck | Legacy Item | Nightstand left of Ramon's bed, after you talk to him |
| King of Roses | Card | Lotus Bar |
| Keynote Presentation | Intel | By the pool |
| Vietnam Postcard | Postcard | Ocean View Bar |
| Diving Watch | Memento | After the bow tie prompts |
| Caliban Profile | Intel | Right after the Diving Watch, at checkpoint 07, Suit Up (PowerPyx's video) |
| Gun Case | Intel | After the handcuffs |
In PowerPyx's May 27, 2026 video, the Diving Watch and the Caliban Profile are both picked up at checkpoint 07, Suit Up, with the objective "Join the party": the profile lies on a counter a few steps after the watch.
1.3.0 fixed the Lorca Intel item disappearing after resuming the game. All 92 are on Collectibles.
Fixes in updates
1.0.5 (Jun 15, 2026) fixed a quarry progression blocker. 1.1.0 (Jul 24, 2026) fixed Greenway not jumping onto the truck, the boss fight camera sticking at low frame rates and leaving with the yoga mat. 1.3.0 (Oct 1, 2026) fixed getting stuck in the pool by the Emperor Villa, adjusted low cover in the boss fight that left Bond exposed, and stopped the truck reversing back into the caves. The Pearl returned on Oct 1, 2026 as the TacSim operation Jungle Heist. See Patch Notes and Updates.
