How to Find All Side Stories in Split Fiction
Across Chapters 2 through 5, you'll encounter a total of 12 Side Stories, with three in each chapter. While they're optional, they're packed with some of the game's best content. Here's where to find them:
- Legend of the Sandfish – In Chapter 2, after completing the Rush Hour section, you'll naturally encounter this Side Story. It's unmissable.
- Farmlife – Also in Chapter 2, locate this in the Streets of Neon section. After hopping over a small barrier and before reaching the elevators on the left, you'll find it.
- Mountain Hike – The final Side Story in Chapter 2 is in the Big City Life section. At the Port-A-Pottys, have Mio enter one, then use Zoe to throw her to a ledge opposite with a small ladder. Have Mio drop the ladder to access it.
- Train Heist – In Chapter 3's Lord Evergreen section, while navigating the water with a plank, reach a ledge by wall running with Mio and Zoe.
- Gameshow – In Chapter 3's Walking Sticks of Doom section, after the side-scrolling part, engage in some minor platforming to reach the platform where the Side Story awaits.
- Collapsing Star – In Chapter 3's Halls of Ice section, this Side Story is on the main path, making it impossible to miss.
- Kites – In Chapter 4's Toxic Tumblers section, find this at the end of the long tube.
- Moon Market – In Chapter 4's Test Chamber section, after the crane sequence and opening the door, spot it on a ledge to the left after some platforming.
- Notebook – The last Side Story in Chapter 4 is in the Soaring Desperados section. With the jetpack, avoid the giant wheel and hover to the left-hand side of the room where it's located.
- Slopes of War – In Chapter 5's Water Temple section, after hatching your dragons, solve the lever puzzle on the left after crossing the golden balls to unlock this Side Story.
- Space Escape – In Chapter 5's Craft Temple section, after defeating the dragon, launch Mio to the ledge using her glide and Zoe's roll. Have Mio drop a column for Zoe to climb to reach this Side Story.
- Birthday Cake – The final Side Story in *Split Fiction* is in Chapter 5's Treasure Temple section. Complete the soul puzzle, and it will be on your left.
