While Split Fiction's co-op adventure unfolds linearly, plenty of opportunities exist to explore captivating Side Stories. Though optional, these detours often deliver some of the game's most memorable moments. Here's how to uncover them all.
Finding All Side Stories in Split Fiction
Chapters 2 through 5 each conceal three Side Stories (12 in total). While optional, completing them unlocks an achievement and reveals some truly unique gameplay experiences—think pig transformations and deadly game show participation!
Chapter 2:
- Legend of the Sandfish: Appears naturally after completing the "Rush Hour" section; impossible to miss.
- Farmlife: Located in the "Streets of Neon" section, after hopping a small barrier, before the left elevators.
- Mountain Hike: Found in "Big City Life," near the Port-A-Potties. Have Mio enter a Porta-Potty, then use Zoe to throw her to the opposite ledge with a ladder. Have Mio drop the ladder for access.
Chapter 3:
- Train Heist: In "Lord Evergreen," on a ledge reachable via wall-running, while navigating the water with a plank.
- Gameshow: Located in "Walking Sticks of Doom," on a platform after a side-scrolling section; requires minor platforming.
