"Discover All Side Story Locations in Split Fiction"

While *Split Fiction* offers a straightforward and linear co-op adventure, it also provides ample opportunities for players to venture off the main path and dive into what the game refers to as Side Stories. Although these detours are optional, they house some of the most memorable and engaging moments in the game, including transforming into pigs or competing in a deadly game show. Completing all these Side Stories not only enriches your gameplay experience but also earns you the Bookworms achievement. Here’s a detailed guide on how to find all 12 Side Stories scattered across Chapters 2 through 5.

How To Find All Side Stories in Split Fiction

Within Chapters 2 through 5, you’ll discover 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 during the Streets of Neon section. After hopping over a small barrier and before taking the elevators on the left, you'll find this Side Story.
  • Mountain Hike – The final Side Story in Chapter 2 is located in the Big City Life section. Once you reach the Port-A-Pottys, have Mio enter one, then use Zoe to throw her over to a ledge opposite them with a small ladder. Have Mio drop the ladder for access.
  • Train Heist – The first Side Story in Chapter 3, found in the Lord Evergreen section. While navigating the water with a plank of wood, reach a ledge using Mio and Zoe's wall-running ability.
  • Gameshow – Located in the Walking Sticks of Doom section of Chapter 3. After the side-scrolling section, complete some minor platforming to reach this Side Story on a platform.
  • Collapsing Star – The last Side Story in Chapter 3, found in the Halls of Ice section. It's on the main path and impossible to miss.
  • Kites – The first Side Story in Chapter 4, found in the Toxic Tumblers section at the end of the long tube.
  • Moon Market – In Chapter 4’s Test Chamber section, after the crane sequence, look for this Side Story on a ledge to the left that requires some platforming to reach.
  • Notebook – The final Side Story in Chapter 4, located in the Soaring Desperados section. After getting 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, found in the Water Temple section. After hatching your dragons, solve the lever puzzle on the left, past the golden balls, to unlock it.
  • Space Escape – The penultimate Side Story, located in the Craft Temple section of Chapter 5. After defeating the dragon, launch Mio to a ledge using her glide and Zoe’s roll, then have Mio drop a column for Zoe to climb.
  • Birthday Cake – The last Side Story of *Split Fiction*, found 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, the Bookworms achievement in *Split Fiction* will unlock automatically.

*Split Fiction* is now available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
