How to Find All Side Stories in Split Fiction

Within Chapters 2 through 5, you'll encounter a total of 12 Side Stories, with three in each chapter. Here's how to locate each one:

  • Legend of the Sandfish – The first Side Story in *Split Fiction* is naturally encountered in Chapter 2 after completing the Rush Hour section. You can't miss it.
  • Farmlife – Found in Chapter 2's Streets of Neon section. After hopping over a small barrier and before using the elevators on the left, you'll find this Side Story.
  • Mountain Hike – The last 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 them with a small ladder. Have Mio drop the ladder to access the Side Story.
  • Train Heist – The first Side Story in Chapter 3, located in the Lord Evergreen section. While navigating water with a plank of wood, find the Side Story on a ledge that Mio and Zoe can reach by wall running.
  • Gameshow – In Chapter 3's Walking Sticks of Doom section, find this Side Story on a platform after the side-scrolling section, requiring minor platforming to reach.
  • Collapsing Star – The final Side Story in Chapter 3, found in the Halls of Ice section on the main path, making it impossible to miss.
  • Kites – The first Side Story in Chapter 4, located in the Toxic Tumblers section at the end of a long tube.
  • Moon Market – In Chapter 4's Test Chamber section, after opening the door post-crane sequence, find it on a ledge to the left, accessible through platforming.
  • Notebook – The last Side Story in Chapter 4, found in the Soaring Desperados section. After obtaining the jetpack, avoid the giant wheel and hover to the left-hand side of the room to find it.
  • Slopes of War – The first Side Story in Chapter 5, located in the Water Temple section. After hatching your dragons, solve the lever puzzle on the left after crossing the golden balls to unlock it.
  • Space Escape – The penultimate Side Story in Chapter 5's Craft Temple section. After defeating the dragon, launch Mio to the ledge using her glide and Zoe's roll, then have Mio drop a column for Zoe to climb.
