Can't complete the "Blue Line" level

[Redmond26]

Hi everybody!

I hope someone can help me with this.. At the end of the blue line level, when you are supposed to plant the explosive charges, I got stuck in the room with the detonator.

In order to get to the other side of the train and plant the remaining charge I should track back my steps to the beginning of the map but a door closed behind me while entering the last section and I can't get back.

Is this a bug or is there some other way to get the other side of the train and plant the explosive?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

I made the same mistake
there are 4 charges RIGHT NEXT TO EACH other
it looks like the 4th charge leads through the train car but it does not
just go back to the 3 places where you placed the charges and there is a 4th one right there
the one i kept missing was on a column near the top

I don't know how far you got... But go to the office and go through the subway car to get other side. Once there you should find you way to a open area of the subway through rest room . There is a big mutie and other muties you have to fight to get the rest of the way. Look for 4 blinking tnt's near the tracks. Set one of each charge on each of the tnt's that are blinking. After you got that done. Look for the detonator in front of a subway car and set them off. If you get lost just keep on looking around to find a way out. I hope this will help..

Thank you clueless! That was it! I don't know how I kept missing that!

Thanks to everyone for being so helpful!

That's what I tell people ! All you have to do is look around.

Yes, that's all I had to do! Thanks again! ;)

In case you're stuck with a single TNT charge. If the TNT is set on any of the glowing placement markers the Item in the inventory vanishes and the 3 other placement markers will show a red 'not usable' sign if you try to activate them.

Since you cant get past the next obstruction (train doors closed) from here it's pretty much a dead end.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[TL;DR - get rid of some of your items until the inventory fits the screen and turns fixed (scrolling gets disabled) and try picking up the TNT again]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had to revert back to the level entrance multiple times by loading a previous save until I noticed that after picking up the TNT charges it wouldn't show a item count in the inventory. I tried to scroll up and down through the inventory to make sure the TNT really only takes up one space. Then I realized that the scrollbar didn't move all the way down when I reached the lower end of the inventory. This made me think, that the inventory's bounds for discrete items might have been exceeded (which totally counts as a level progression impairing bug).

So I used all my quick-use items and crafting ingredients on the spot to lower the discrete item count enough so that the scrollbar was fixed in place (items all fit on the inv. screen).
After that was taken care of I tried picking up the TNT charges again. And voila~ the TNT now shows the correct item count in the inventory (x4).
Now I was finally able to set all 4 charges and complete the mission regularly.

Hope this works for some of you guys as well ... since apparently the only other way to get past this would have been restarting the entire campaign.
