Side Story Locations Revealed in Split Fiction

While *Split Fiction* is a fairly straightforward and linear co-op adventure, the game offers numerous opportunities to explore beyond the main storyline through what it calls Side Stories. Although these are optional, they are home to some of the most memorable moments in the game, including unique sequences like turning into pigs or competing in a deadly game show. Completing all 12 Side Stories also unlocks an achievement, making them a rewarding detour for completionists. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to discover every Side Story in *Split Fiction*.

How To Find All Side Stories in Split Fiction

Within Chapters 2 through 5, you'll encounter a total of 12 different Side Stories, with three in each chapter. While they're not essential to completing the game, they provide some of the most engaging and fun experiences. Here's where to find each one:

Legend of the Sandfish – The first Side Story in *Split Fiction* is encountered naturally in Chapter 2 after completing the Rush Hour section. You can't miss it.

Farmlife – Located in Chapter 2 within the Streets of Neon section, this Side Story becomes accessible after you hop over a small barrier and before you take the elevators on the left.

Mountain Hike – The final Side Story in Chapter 2 can be found in the Big City Life section. Once you reach the Port-A-Pottys, have Mio hop into one, then use Zoe to throw her over to a ledge opposite them where there's a small ladder. Have Mio drop the ladder for Zoe to access the Side Story.

Train Heist – The first Side Story in Chapter 3 is in the Lord Evergreen section. While navigating water with a plank of wood, look for a ledge that Mio and Zoe can reach by wall running.

Gameshow – In the Walking Sticks of Doom section of Chapter 3, you'll find this Side Story on a platform after the side-scrolling section. A bit of platforming will get you there.

Collapsing Star – The last Side Story in Chapter 3 is located in the Halls of Ice section along the main path, making it impossible to miss.

Kites – The first Side Story in Chapter 4 is found 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 following the crane sequence, you'll see it on a ledge to the left, accessible with some platforming.

Notebook – This Side Story, the last one in Chapter 4, is located in the Soaring Desperados section. Once you get the jetpack, avoid the giant wheel as you hover over to the left-hand side of the room to find it.

Slopes of War – The first Side Story in Chapter 5 is in the Water Temple section. After hatching your dragons, you'll see a lever puzzle on the left following the golden balls. Solve it to unlock the Side Story.

Space Escape – The penultimate Side Story in Chapter 5's Craft Temple section becomes accessible 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.

Birthday Cake – The final Side Story of *Split Fiction* is in Chapter 5's Treasure Temple section. Complete the soul puzzle, and it will be on your left.

Once you've completed all 12 Side Stories, you'll automatically unlock the Bookworms achievement in *Split Fiction*.
