Can't Save Chris and Barry

[Stellar Dude]

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, I looked at a guide that said "In order to save everyone with Jill to give Barry his gun back and save Chris from the holding cells." When I save Chris from the cells he just isn't there after the cutscene. So I proceed and Barry is at the elevator room without Chris.

I tried this on a no save run so I'll have to re-do it. But can anyone clarify any minor details I may have missed? Watched a vid on it too and Chris was with Jill after saving him. I'm just confused.

For clarification after the Chris cutscene I went along with barry at the elevator, and even went back to the cell and he wasn't there. So idk.

To answer my own question, I'm guessing I'm saving Chris too early and need to wait until after the Tyrant fight then go back to the cells on the escape to save him.

Supposedly his cell remains locked until the self-destruct countdown is initiated.

You can reach him before the countdown but he will stay there until you go get him after the countdown has started.

Alternatively you can go to him only after the countdown starts where he will get out right away.
