After you’re through the Water Temple section of Chapter 5 in Split Fiction, you will progress to the third mission. Dubbed Dragon Riders Unite, this mission will have Zoe and Mio traverse the region mostly on the backs of their now bigger dragons. The following is a detailed guide on the Dragon Riders Unite mission in Split Fiction.

How To Begin the Dragon Riders Unite Mission in Split Fiction

The Dragons Are All Grown Up

The end of the previous mission brought Zoe and Mio to a large pool of water where they had to put down their dragons. The dragons jump into the water and re-emerge as grown-up versions. You can now ride your respective dragons. Mio’s dragon can soar but can’t fly outright. It can also fire acid that can melt through metal. On the other hand, Zoe’s dragon retains its vertical climbing ability across ivy-covered surfaces. It can also roll itself into a ball to move quicker and push obstacles out of its way. The mission begins on the dragon’s back.

As the mission starts, move forward along the path. Get used to the different abilities of your respective dragons because they will be key in progressing through the level. Certain sections of the path will branch off, allowing both dragons to move forward, relying on their specific abilities. Finally, you’ll reach a red door with a metal suit of armor as a lock. Mio’s dragon can melt the armor away using its acid. Then, Zoe’s dragon has to roll into the door to open it.

Then, you’ll come across a metal ball strung up in the air with metal chains. Mio’s dragon can melt the chains and drop the ball down. Zoe’s dragon will roll into it and push the ball where it needs to be. Move the ball onto the nearby stone platform. Doing so will begin a gust of wind that Mio can use to go to the other side. Zoe will have to climb up using the ivy. Soon, you’ll reach the first true puzzle in this mission.

Use Zoe’s dragon to roll into the mill-like mechanism while Mio climbs up the taller platform to the left. Push the wheel in the direction of the cliffs. Mio will reach each of these cliffs and use her acid attack to break free of the chains that are keeping the weights in the air. Breaking off the weights will create a crossing point that Zoe can then use to move past the dragon statue in the area.

After crossing, Zoe will have to roll into a stone tablet, which then drops. After the tablet drops, Mio’s dragon needs to spit acid into an acid snake mechanism just in front of the door to open the way forward.

The next section sees Zoe and Mio come face to face with the Megalith. The villain will simply fly by without harming you. Keep continuing down the path using the abilities of your respective dragons until you reach the next puzzle. Zoe has to roll into another stone tablet to drop it. After this, Mio can spit acid into the acid snake to raise the arms of the two dragon statues here.

While Mio is spitting acid, Zoe must roll into the block and push it right between the dragon statues’ arms. As soon as this happens, Mio should stop the acid spit for the arms to come back down. Zoe then needs to climb up on the block with the statues’ arms down. When Zoe takes up this position, Mio will spit acid once again and cause the arms to go up, slinging Zoe through the doors above.

After this, Zoe must slide through and roll into a slab, causing a domino effect. This will eventually open a way for Mio to move forward. Follow the path forward until you reach the final puzzle of the Dragon Riders Unite mission in Split Fiction.

The Door Puzzle

You will reach a door that has six symbols on it, three of which are on Mio’s side and the other three on Zoe’s side. You need to understand the proper order of activating the symbols if you want to progress. Here’s how you solve it:

  • Step 1: Roll Zoe into the symbol resembling the bowl on her side.
  • Step 2: Make Mio spit acid on the gold club-like symbol on her side.
  • Step 3: Activate the next symbol on both sides at the same time using Zoe and Mio.

If you do it right, the door will swing open, and you can follow the path forward. This is where the mission ends.
