You can choose to say, "That's right." Finding out you need an invitation plus a whopping 100k, go back to Greenway. The plan is for Greenway to look for an invitation and for Bond to obtain the auction fee.

You can get the following collectibles in this section:

  • 9 of Acorns
  • Mauritania Postcard
  • Ober of Acorns
  • Delivery Box (Bawma)
  • Ace of Roses

To get that hundred grand, here's a list of what you can do:

  • Crypto Wallet Route
  • Scorpius Hideout Infiltration Route
  • Pickpocket Route
  • Fight Pit Route
  • The Jewel of Jahari Route
  • Shooting Range Route

For this walkthrough, we decided to do the Crypto Wallet Route due to the collectibles and the Scorpius Hideout Infiltration Route. It's important to do the Crypto Wallet Route if you want to get all collectibles. You will get the ATAC device, a legacy item, along the way.

However, if you want to finish this objective fast, we recommend doing the Fight Pit route ($60,000) and Crypto Wallet route ($50,000).

[8] Enter the Auction with Greenway.

Auction

At the auction, take a seat and listen to Barkhad Ali. He tells everyone that they need to pass the polygraph or else they need to leave Aleph.

Once it's your turn for the test, you have the option to say:

  • This man hates me.
  • Call me James.
  • Thrilled to be here.

After the introduction test, the bid begins. During the bidding, hack the polygraph to sabotage one of the bidders. After successfully hacking, your next objective is to win the auction. Greenway will tell you when you can bid. In this walkthrough, we chose "two long-distance missile strikes." After raising the bar, offer MI6 intel.

After winning the bid, you can finally talk to Barkhad Ali and strike a deal with him.

[9] Reach 009's boat.
