Heyo, if your still stuck on this, to deal with Knotty you gotta talk to him (after you finish step 9, or go to the drawing room after step 2) and do the rope training lessons, then do step 10, and finally you should be able to finish step 5. Good luck!

I reset all my data and just did this part earlier but while I was still stuck on what too do, it made me do the rope training lesson ten times so I got fed up and stopped came back a week later then just reset everything. I think it is a bug and yeah just know that I fixed it by resetting everything
