Objectives
Agent
- a. Power down communications dish
- Bond must use the console by pressing "b" in the satellite dish building.
- b. Enter base via ventilation tower
- You need to remove 4 padlocks from the ventilation tower and drop down. The locks are normally removed by shooting them.
Secret Agent / 00 Agent
- a. Power down communications dish
- b. Obtain safe key
- The safe key is located in the first building on the left outside the spawn area. However, the door is locked and requires obtaining a key from the guard in the grenade launcher hut.
- c. Steal building plans
- The building plans are located in a safe in a building near the back left of the map.
- d. Enter base via ventilation tower
- The 4 padlocks must be removed, the same as on Agent. However, the grenade launcher is normally used to eliminate all four locks at once.
Facts
Guard Spawns
There are 4 spawn guards in total, and their spawn times are based on the following logic, which each guard runs independently of the others and begins when the cinema starts playing[1]:
Notice that the odds depend on which weapon Bond currently has out:
| Weapon | Probability |
| Unarmed/Hunting Knives/Throwing Knives/PP7/PP7 (Silenced)/Sniper Rifle | 21.48% |
| Klobb/Grenade Launcher/KF7 | 80.08% |
| Other | 100% |
If a spawning guard is within 1000 units of you, he'll always have a Klobb. Spawn guards delete themselves if they're 3000 units or more away from you. [2]
So now we know when they spawn, but not where. All levels in Goldeneye are divided into rooms/areas, and in the case of Surface 1, entering certain rooms changes the guards' spawn locations. The map below shows the rooms with color highlights, as well as red circles indicating spawn locations, and colored numbers (corresponding to the room colors) between 1-4 so signify which of the four guards that can spawn in that location. Non-highlighted areas simply use the previously entered room's spawn locations.

Misconceptions
Agent grenade strat
In order to improve the strats used on Surface 1 SA/00A, one might consider using a grenade strat. Skipping the GL and instead going for a nade *might* save some time if done well (though less boosts might make it worse in the end :b). The difficulty that a grenade strat would've been most useful on though is Agent. So why isn't it used there? What's the catch?
If you've ever tried the Agent strat on SA/00A, you'd find out that it is in fact possible to get a grenade without changing the route at all. A random guard can spawn in such a way that he is right outside the satellite dish when you get there. So you could definately get sub 1 min doing Agent strat on SA/00A (and very good Fast Exits). But why do we never see him on Agent? The reason lies in some subtle differences between the difficulties on Surface 1.
On SA/00A, The random guards spawning process don't start until you've entered one of these rooms (shown in yellow; note that a "room" is a technical term, not a building room!)
So you could camp in the beginning of the level forever without any random guards coming your way. On 007 mode however, this doesn't work because the random guards start spawning as soon as the level starts.
So what about Agent? The trigger for the random guards has nothing to do with entering any rooms. Rather, you need to kill the Large Key guard. Injuring him, letting him see you or entering his hut does nothing. But killing him triggers the spawning process. This is the reason why we never see any random guards on normal agent runs, we don't kill this guard.
If you let the Large Key guard see you and then run towards the satellite dish or beyond, and kill him there, no random guards will spawn. So simply killing him isn't enough. You actually still need to enter one of the 2 rooms shown above to start the spawning process.
