Split Fiction: All Side Story Locations Revealed

While Split Fiction's co-op adventure unfolds linearly, hidden gems await those willing to explore beyond the main path—the game's engaging Side Stories. Though optional, these often deliver some of the game's most memorable moments, so let's uncover them all.

Finding All 12 Side Stories in Split Fiction

Chapters 2 through 5 each hold three Side Stories. Completing them all unlocks an achievement, adding significant replay value. Here's a detailed guide:

Chapter 2

• Legend of the Sandfish: This Side Story naturally appears after completing Chapter 2's "Rush Hour" section; it's impossible to miss.
• Farmlife: Located in the "Streets of Neon" section, after crossing a small barrier and before reaching the elevators on the left.
• Mountain Hike: Found in "Big City Life," near the Port-A-Pottys. Have Mio enter a Port-A-Potty, then use Zoe to throw her to the opposite ledge with a ladder. Have Mio drop the ladder for access.

Chapter 3

• Train Heist: In "Lord Evergreen," on a ledge reachable via wall-running during the water-plank navigation section.
• Gameshow: Found in "Walking Sticks of Doom," on a platform after the side-scrolling section. Requires some minor platforming.
• Collapsing Star: Located in "Halls of Ice," on the main path through the palace; difficult to miss.

Chapter 4

• Kites: At the end of the long tube in the "Toxic Tumblers" section.
• Moon Market: In "Test Chamber," on a left-hand ledge after the crane sequence, reachable via platforming.
• Notebook: The final Chapter 4 Side Story, found in "Soaring Desperados." After obtaining the jetpack, hover to the left-hand side of the room, avoiding the giant wheel.

Chapter 5

• Slopes of War: Located in "Water Temple." After hatching your dragons, solve the lever puzzle to the left of the golden balls.
• Space Escape: Found in "Craft Temple," after defeating the dragon. Requires using Mio's glide and Zoe's roll to reach a ledge, then dropping a column for Zoe to climb.
• Birthday Cake: In "Treasure Temple," after completing the soul puzzle, located to your left.

Completing all 12 Side Stories unlocks the "Bookworms" achievement in Split Fiction.
