While *Split Fiction* offers a straightforward and linear co-op adventure, the game is enriched with numerous Side Stories that allow players to venture off the main path. These Side Stories, though optional, contain some of the most memorable moments in the game, such as transforming into pigs or participating in a deadly game show. Completing all 12 of these Side Stories not only enhances your gaming experience but also unlocks the coveted Bookworms achievement. Here's a detailed guide on how to find every Side Story in *Split Fiction*.
How to Find All Side Stories in Split Fiction
Within Chapters 2 through 5, you will encounter a total of 12 different Side Stories, with three in each chapter. Here's how to locate each one:
- Legend of the Sandfish – In Chapter 2, after completing the Rush Hour section, you will naturally encounter this Side Story. It's impossible to miss.
- Farmlife – Also in Chapter 2, in the Streets of Neon section, you can find this Side Story after hopping over a small barrier but before taking the elevators on the left.
- Mountain Hike – The last Side Story in Chapter 2 is in the Big City Life section. Once you reach the Port-A-Pottys, have Mio enter one, then use Zoe to throw her to a ledge opposite them where there's a small ladder. Have Mio drop the ladder to access this Side Story.
- Train Heist – The first Side Story in Chapter 3 is in the Lord Evergreen section. While navigating the water with a plank of wood, you'll find it on a ledge that Mio and Zoe can reach by wall running.
- Gameshow – In Chapter 3's Walking Sticks of Doom section, after the side-scrolling part, you'll find this Side Story on a platform that requires some minor platforming to reach.
- Collapsing Star – The final Side Story in Chapter 3 is located in the Halls of Ice section, directly on the main path and impossible to miss.
- Kites – In Chapter 4, within the Toxic Tumblers section, you'll find this Side Story at the end of the long tube.
- Moon Market – In the Test Chamber section of Chapter 4, after opening the door following the crane sequence, you'll see it on a ledge to the left, accessible after some platforming.
- Notebook – The last Side Story in Chapter 4 is in the Soaring Desperados section. Once you get the jetpack, hover to the left-hand side of the room, avoiding the giant wheel, to find it.
- Slopes of War – The first Side Story in Chapter 5, located in the Water Temple section, can be reached by solving a lever puzzle on the left after crossing the golden balls and hatching your dragons.
- Space Escape – In the Craft Temple section of Chapter 5, 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 and access this Side Story.
- Birthday Cake – The final Side Story in *Split Fiction* is in Chapter 5's Treasure Temple section. Simply complete the soul puzzle, and you'll find it on your left.
Once you've completed all 12 Side Stories, the Bookworms achievement in *Split Fiction* will unlock automatically.
