Default Just a little help..

I got stuck at one place...


At the scene where marty is suppose to get the 190 proof alcohol for the rocket powered drill how exactly do i tip the barrels of moonshine via that "lift" that was mentioned in the hints? I searched all over the soup kitchen and found nothing to activate it.

Literally as I type this I am stuck at this exact spot. I'm close to ripping my hair out.

At one point you see Cueball hit the pipes to signal the guys below to send the elevator down. You need to convince Cueball that the soup needs some spices, so he'll move the cart over (halfway on the lift), and go to the stove. Then when you click on the pipes, Marty will knock on them with his recorder

I haven't seen that scene yet...is there something that must happen before to see him tap on the pipe?

Yes, he propped the door open and the tables are now upright, i already know that edna is suppose to deliver the moonshine.....but even then when he goes to spice the soup i go over to the pipe and he still says that the pipe leads to the basement and nothing more.

When he's distracted you should be able to tap the pipe closest to the soup kitchen door. What should happen is the cart with the booze barrels tips and the barrels will roll onto the counter, causing the guy to give Edna the booze by mistake.

Thats the thing though, i still have yet to see the scene where he taps the pipe to call his underlings to send up the lift.

Try talking through all the options with him, Emmett, and also Edna to be on the safe side.

I've seen him bring up the lift many times, but I can't in any way interact with the pipe. I still can't get into the kitchen, either.

At no point will you actually need to go into the kitchen. First Emmett needs to create a door prop. Once that's set up, have the guy mess with the soup, causing him to shove the cart to one side. Tap on the pipe nearest the soup kitchen door you entered from. The cart should tip and the barrels will roll onto the counter. The guy will accidentally give the barrel to Edna. Afterwards, go talk to Edna outside and give her a place for her Sober Society meeting.

The scene showing the guy tapping the pipe is supposed to play the very first time you walk to the far end of the the Soup Kitchen (out of Cue Ball's sight) during this section of the game.

I just wondered around for a while waiting for one Doc Jr or Marty to chime in with a hint after turning the hints all the way up but while I was waiting, the scene played. Just start wandering around the lowest part of the screen and it should trigger.

Seriously, it's not that hard. It's not something that you don't even have to think about at all like the rest of the game, but it's a pretty standard puzzle.

I stuck here too. No one wants to tap any pipe whatever I do. Is there some sort of bug?

It's not hard to click on the pipe, Rather Dashing. We're all just wondering why we can't get it to trigger the lift. It's just not responding.

Update: Literally just standing around and waiting in the soup kitchen can trigger the movie to happen. So if the pipe isn't working for you then just wait around for 30 seconds or so and it'll happen so that you can use the pipe the way we're expecting.
