Ok stuck on route kanal at the part where the guy jumps down from his platform , he has a bed etc... up there.
He wont talk to me and the door to the left can be blown up but theres a metal plate that stops me getting through it.

Ive tried backtracking but i cant find out anyway to proceed , spent ages running about trying to get past this part but no luck.
