How to Find Murto – Open the Gate Chapter 11 Basement – 007 First Light
If you’re stuck on the “Open the Gate” objective during the Find Murto mission in Chapter 11, Checkpoint 07: Basement, you’re definitely not alone. This particular objective can be surprisingly confusing because the solution is much simpler than many players expect.
It’s easy to assume you’ve missed a hidden switch, overlooked another pathway, or failed to trigger a nearby objective. However, the answer is actually located right next to the gate itself.
Where to Find the Solution
When you reach the locked gate, take a closer look at the chained boxes nearby.
Attached to these boxes is a large lock that serves as the key to progressing through the area. Because the game doesn’t draw much attention to it, many players end up searching the entire room instead of interacting with the object that’s already in front of them.
Use the Laser Gadget
To open the gate, equip your laser gadget and aim it directly at the lock attached to the chained boxes.
After a brief moment, the laser will destroy the lock. Once the lock is broken, the obstruction is removed and the path forward becomes accessible.
You can then continue through the gate and proceed with the mission.
Why Players Get Stuck Here
This objective is a classic example of a puzzle that feels obvious once you’ve solved it.
Many players naturally assume they’re looking for a hidden switch, alternate route, or environmental interaction elsewhere in the basement. As a result, they spend time exploring every corner of the area while overlooking the lock that needs to be destroyed.
The solution is simple, but it’s also easy to miss if you’re not specifically looking for an object that can be destroyed with a gadget.
Quick Solution
If you’re just looking for the answer:
- Go to the locked gate.
- Locate the chained boxes beside it.
- Find the large lock attached to the chains.
- Use the laser gadget to destroy the lock.
- Continue through the newly opened path.
That’s all there is to it.
Once the lock is destroyed, the gate opens and you can continue the Find Murto mission in 007 First Light.
