The 007 First Light Manager's safe code is actually a puzzle hidden around the entirety of the office, as you need to use the various hints around you to decipher what exactly the passcode is, rather than just finding it written down. Opening the office safe isn't mandatory, but it does grant James Bond a collectible and a useful item for later on, as I'll explain in my guide below.

See, there are multiple wine bottles on display, each with various dates that could all fit the four-digit passcode for the safe, but at first glance 007 First Light makes no attempt to highlight one date over the other. The clue comes from checking inside the drawer on the left-hand side of the room, where you can find a note that reads "The 1972 Archambeau Rouge is certainly fine but it pales in comparison to the Mont Arras Sacramental."

With characters having told us in the past that people tend to be careless or sentimental with passwords, we can deduce that the Mont Arras Sacrimental is the favored wine of the hotel manager, and that any number tied to it has a high chance of being the code to the safe. Checking the "Vino Sacramental" bottle on display reveals that it dates to 1952!

Once opened, the safe contains two objects: the 6 of Roses collectible card, and the Cellar Key, which can be used to further explore certain sections of the hotel later on. It's not mandatory that you get the Cellar Key, but it does help to have it.
