I do not recall this area, unfortunately. Based on the walkthrough, it sounds like you just need to avoid walking towards him in a straight line. Rather than using a secret Brussian path, you may just need to walk up against the edge of the area/hallway, and then talk to him from a side he isn't facing. Try a different route, take a step left or right (or up/down) before you reach the exploding tile for example.
I’ll have to see if I can get this game booted up again and hopefully have a save file I can use if this doesn't help.
