Loose Cannon - SPOILER ALERT!!

[taj1964]

Morning, people.

Having frustrated the hell out of myself for a few hours, I tried to search the Internet for help.
Nothing helpful actually turned up. Loads of advice, videos and stuff like that. But....

I am utterly stuck in the tunnels with Eduardo, on my way to destroy the cannon. Somehow, the game just stops dead in its tracks. Eduardo is waiting in his gondola for a gate to be opened by a guard, but nothing happens.

The area at the gate is split in two by a wall segment. I swim up to the guard on the right side - he is trying to wave of some annoying fly, so I grab him from below and pulls him into the water. So good, so fine.

Now, I can either run along on the boardwalk, in order to get around the wall, kill the other guard and open the gate.....but as soon as I try to do that, I am warned not to go too far from Eduardo.

Or I can swim below the boardwalk with the other guard walking above me. But as soon as I try to swim free of the boardwalk and kill him, I am warned - once again - not to go too far from Eduardo.

I can actually provoke Eduardo to come a little closer to the gate, by shooting him a few times with my crossbow. Thus, I am able to swin around the wall, get to the other guard, kill him off and open the gate. But....

Having opened the gate for Eduardo, I watch in frustration, as he snails his way along the boardwalk, until he eventually ends up getting stuck, when the tip of his gondola is caugth by a bend in the wall, at the very end of the boardwalk. I cannot push his gondola away from the wall or I risk losing synchronization. I cannot scare him away by shooting more crossbow bolts at him - he completely ignores that. I am unable to make him follow me, swimming away from the area, towards the next couple of guards - gets too far away and lose synchronization, once again.

I have tried just about anything, in order to solve this mystery. Not killing any of the guards, after opening the gate before this area. Not killing any guards at all, from the very beginning of the tunnels. Just killing the guards at the gates. Nothing helps.

Having a gondola, that actually gets stuck in the wall, because the guy rowing it is not able to steer it properly, is to say the least immensely annoying. It simply has to be a glitch, a bug, some sort of error. Anyhow, it does not make any sense at all.

What to do?

Tried one more time - and not only did the guard open the gate, but Eduardo was also capable of stearing his gondola through the passage, without getting stuck.

I hate it, when things like this happens. Now, I am left without any answers what so ever. Did I do anything wrong or did the game just screw up and ran me over with a bug? Typical.
