How To Earn 100k For Auction Fee – 007 FIRST LIGHT
Here is how to earn more than 100K for the auction fees through the fight pit, cup game, and the shooting range challenge.
The Fight Pit
The higher the stakes, the higher the payout.
Enter the Fight Pit to win a match and to earn money. You will encounter a pirate outside the fight pit offering you an opportunity in the Pit.
The image above shows the path to the fight pit.
Go straight from the Nirmala shop, then turn right. Look for a guy standing near a container or art shop. Speak to him. He will explain that he needs a fighter for the ring. Follow the path toward the Fighting Club.
Once inside, listen in on a conversation between the Manager and the Trainer/Boss to get some intel. Speak to the manager, and he will point towards the boss. The trainer will then challenge you to a spar against one of his guys to prove you’re worthy of the pit. Win this match. Once you win, the Trainer will recommend you to the Manager for the official, high-stakes fights.
There are three official fights with increasing difficulty. Here is the strategy for the hardest one. Strategy for the 3rd Fight (Hard)
As soon as the fight starts, grab the bottles on the drum and throw 4 to 5 of them at your opponent to stun him and prevent him from attacking you. While he recovers and is distracted, rush in and attack him without stopping. After you land some hits, the Takedown/X button prompt will briefly appear. Press Takedown/X immediately to win the fight.
The Jewel of the Jahari Cup Game
Once Greenway orders James to earn the auction fee, go down to the market through the stairs, use your Q-lens immediately upon arrival, and look to your left for a blue blip on the merchant Nirmala, as shown in the image below.
Speak to Nirmala and select the dialogue option: “Anything I can do for you?” Nirmala asks you to retrieve a Red Diamond, which she lost to a cup-juggling scammer named Aadan.
Turn around from Nirmala’s shop and go straight, then turn right. Use your Q-lens again to locate Aadan’s stall.
Aadan will challenge you to the cup game. You must pay $3,500 cash to enter, activate your Q-lens while the cups are moving. The Red Diamond will glow clearly inside one of the cups. Select the cup containing the diamond. Once you win the item, return to Nirmala. Hand over the Red Diamond to claim your $30,000 cash reward.
The Shooting Range
The final challenge to earn the remaining funds for the auction fee. Head to the shooting range, begin at Nirmala’s shop, go straight from the shop, then turn right. Immediately look to your left for a tunnel. Enter and pass through to the other side. Once you exit the tunnel, go straight and turn right. The Shooting Range will be right there. Use Q-lens if you think you have lost the way.
Speak to Basim, who will challenge you to the shooting competition. You must pay $3000 cash as an entry fee. Use your Focus Fire ability to slow down time to shoot the targets. You must hit all 10 targets to win the $30,000 prize money.
