Chapter 7 of Split Fiction begins with the authors waking up in a sepulchral hollow that represents a deeper and troubled part of Zoe’s subconscious. They encounter an ethereal catfish-like entity that anchors itself to Zoe and a golden owl that assists Mio.

Spiritual Guides is the second-to-last segment of the chapter that begins with Zoe and Mio awakening the centipede statue in the Hollow. After opening an ancient door and coming upon the statue, your familiars merge with it. The two-headed centipede turns out to be your spiritual guide and will help you cross the treacherous terrain to root out the festering wound in Zoe’s heart.

Ride the centipede as a team, as both sides depend on each other to move. When you arrive at a gate, pull both chains until you can anchor them. Weave through the flowing lava before swinging across the side of the bridge using both heads to anchor yourself in turn.

Bite the first hold with one head while the other swings across and latches onto the next hold. Then, release the first head and let it swing over before latching onto the following hold. When there is a gap between the holds, the anchoring head will be need to let go when the other head is at the top of its swing to fling them across. Continue using the same technique while timing the swings to avoid the lava.

When you are split across two platforms, time your movement together to avoid the lava spurts. Bite through any pots in your way. As the platforms move back and forth, the first head will cross over on the left before the second follows on the right.

Next, the head on the left will climb the following platform, allowing the head on the right to stretch across and board the oscillating platform on its side. Then both heads can disembark on the left side to continue onwards.

When attacked by burrowing worms, bite them using the centipede’s pincers in a game of whack-a-mole. Avoid the lava they spew on the ground, and divide your attention across both sides to make use of both heads effectively.

In the following section, use one head to drink water from the statues while the other sprays it over lava, creating a bridge to cross over. Swing over the wheels while adjusting your trajectory to avoid the lava obstacles.

When you come across the vertical fall of lava on the third wheel, latch both heads of the centipede onto adjacent handles to pass through the gap. The centipede brings you to Zoe’s heart, ending this section and leading into the Hydra boss fight.
