While *Split Fiction* primarily follows a linear co-op adventure structure, players can venture off the main path to explore engaging Side Stories scattered throughout the game. Though technically optional, these moments contain some of the title's most memorable sequences - from transforming into pigs to competing in a deadly game show. Here's your guide to discovering all twelve hidden gems across Chapters 2 through 5.
How To Find All Side Stories in Split Fiction
Throughout Chapters 2 to 5, players can discover three Side Stories in each chapter. These bonus content pieces not only enhance your gameplay experience but also unlock the Bookworms achievement when completed. Follow these directions to locate every hidden scenario:
Legend of the Sandfish – Automatically encountered early in Chapter 2 after completing Rush Hour. This introduction to Side Stories is unmissable by design.
Farmlife – Located in Chapter 2's Streets of Neon, found just before the elevator banks after hopping a small barrier.
Mountain Hike – During Chapter 2's Big City Life section, interact with the Port-A-Pottys at the designated area. Have Mio enter one while Zoe tosses her to a secluded ledge with a ladder to progress.
Train Heist – In Chapter 3's Lord Evergreen segment, spot this Side Story while navigating water platforms - requires coordinated wall-running to access.
Gameshow – Appears after the side-scrolling sequence in Chapter 3's Walking Sticks of Doom section. Some moderate platforming leads to this entertaining distraction.
Collapsing Star – Impossible to miss in Chapter 3's Halls of Ice as it directly intersects with main path progression.
Kites – Chapter 4's first bonus content appears at the conclusion of the Toxic Tumblers section's elongated tube sequence.
Moon Market – After the crane sequence in Chapter 4's Test Chamber, watch for an accessible ledge to the left of the newly opened door.
Notebook – Using the jetpack in Chapter 4's Soaring Desperados section, skillfully navigate past the rotating wheel to spot this Side Story tucked along the left wall.
Slopes of War – Chapter 5's Water Temple hides this puzzle-based Side Story behind a lever mechanism after crossing the golden spheres terrain.
Space Escape – Following a dragon battle in Chapter 5's Craft Temple, combine Mio's glide ability with Zoe's roll maneuver to access this acrobatic challenge.
Birthday Cake – The culminating Side Story in Chapter 5's Treasure Temple emerges after successfully solving the chamber's soul puzzle.
Successfully completing all twelve Side Stories automatically unlocks the Bookworms achievement before your concluding adventure in this critically acclaimed co-op experience.
