Stuck at the part where you cut the barrels loose to block the crowd- what am I supposed to do next?

Figured it out. When in doubt- use the magnifying glass icon in the right side of the toolbar.

I was stuck at the same spot! Thanks for the tip.

Note that sometimes an item is only visible once you've observed something else (right click)

I found this extremely helpful blog, I hope it helps you if you get stuck.

Thanks! I did searches for help with a few puzzles and the hits I got we're all for piracy sites :/
