The Black Mirror Hints
How can I move the barrel off of the trap door?
1 of 6: You need to make it less heavy.
2 of 6: It's so heavy because it's full of oil.
3 of 6: You could drain some or all of the oil out, as wasteful as that may sound.
4 of 6: There's an item lying around in another room that you can use to jab a hole in the barrel.
5 of 6: Get the steel rod out of the big dirt mound that's near the door to the storage room. (It's hard to see, so wave the cursor around the dirt mound until you find it.)
6 of 6: Use the rod on the barrel to drain it a bit and get it out of the way.
