At the end of City 2 (Chapter 5) of Another World, after passing a pool of water and knocking a guard out with a glass ball, there is a section where you fall down a pit into an ambush.
After blasting open the right wall, I run to the right as guards blast behind me. Eventually I hit a dead end with bars blocking my path.
According to this walkthrough, I’m supposed to hold out until my friend Buddy pulls me up from the ceiling. However, even after surviving upwards of two minutes, I keep dying in this dead end without any rescue.
I should be seeing Buddy crawling in the ceiling while I run towards the dead end, but for some reason the ceiling vents are empty.
Why isn’t Buddy coming to save me from the underground ambush?

You need to shoot the chandelier blocking Buddy's path before jumping down.
When you first enter City 2, you can spot Buddy in the crawlspace below the floor. He tries to move forward, but his path is blocked by a hanging rope.
Head to the bottom of the staircase with the teleporter, where you were previously surprise-attacked by a guard. From this staircase, keep heading left for 2 rooms until you see three hanging chandeliers.
Walk up the stairs and shoot the lowest-hanging chandelier to clear Buddy's path.
