Split Fiction has been released officially. In this article, we will be exploring Chapter 1, Rader Publishing in the game.
Hazelight Studios has finally released their anticipated Co-op title, Split Fiction. After A Way Out and It Takes Two, fans have been eager to see what Josef Fares brings next to the table, and it is safe to say that he did not disappoint. Similar to its predecessors, Split Fiction has two protagonists, Mio and Zoe. In the first chapter, Rader Publishing, Mio accidentally falls into Zoe’s fiction pod, resulting in a story that is a mix between Fantasy and Science Fiction.
From here on out, you and your chosen companion will be experiencing a world that is full of contrasting ideas and elements, and it all starts with the first chapter. So, in this article, we will walk you through the Rader Publishing chapter in Split Fiction.
Chapter 1: Rader Publishing
After the cutscene ends, you will be in Mio’s sci-fi story. When the level starts, you will have to move forward in the facility’s corridor while avoiding obstacles by jumping, climbing, and some wallrunning. You will find a console at the end of the corridor, which you and your companion both will have to press to activate the lift.
Make Your Way To The Console
Once you are at the top, a ship will open fire on you but soon after it will crash into the platform and open the next area. Take the new path move forward, and make your way through the various moving metal platforms in front of you. Shortly after, you will come across a large turbine.
Use the control panel on the left to turn one of the lasers off and make a way for your companion to use their grappling hook to go to the other side. As soon as one of you makes it past the turbine, it will start malfunctioning and clear the path for the other player.
Now, you and your buddy will have to walk on two narrow metal beams to reach the switches at the end of them. Then, both players must use those switches to open the metal gate before them. Then grapple to the other side of the gate and keep going until you find a yellow pole. After climbing a few of those poles, you will find some moving ones as well. Try to memorize the pattern of those movements and then make your way to the other side.
You will find another console there. Both of you will need to keep clicking the switches until the bar in the middle of the screen fills up. Then, the platform will start moving, and you will get attacked by some laser ships. Keep dodging until the platform is destroyed, and then dive into the water below and swim your way to the inside of the facility.
Navigate Through The Sandstorm
There will be some metallic crushers in your path next. Get an understanding of their patterns and safely grapple to the other side. Keep moving forward until you reach a double door, there will be a ship past it ready to attack you. Try to get close to the ship while dodging the bullets, when you are close enough, grapple onto it and take over.
After that, Mio will be piloting the ship while Zoe attacks the various ships coming after you with the Gatling gun. Then, you will enter a sandstorm and when it is over, you will find the glitch, which will take you to the fantasy part of the game.
Enter The Fantasy Land
Once you enter the fantasy setting, Ogres will start chasing you. Then, you must make your way up a slope while you dodge the incoming barrels. Shortly after, you will make your way to a wooden platform, which will then be shot down and start another chase sequence. Eventually, you will fall from a wooden bridge into the water below.
The Ogres will automatically clear the path in front of you. So keep swimming forward until you get sucked into a windmill. Now, climb the boxes on the left and go up the mechanism. You must be careful in this section and try not to get hit by any moving gears.
Once you are at the top, jump to the haystack below. Then through the hole on your right to reach an open field, you will find two Ogres. If they spot you, you will die instantly. So you will have to distract the Ogres while your companion safely makes it to the next cover. Then your companion will have to distract the brutes again so you can make it to the next area.
Beat The Last Chase
There you will find a lot of Ogres holding flags. You and your companion will then have to navigate your way using the flag poles to reach the other side. After that, you and your friend will have to push a box out of your way to reach the next area. Mio and Zoe will then spot the glitch on top of a tower, which will trigger the last chase sequence of Chapter 1, Rader Publishing.
Lastly, you must climb the tower while the Ogres constantly break the wooden poles you are climbing on. But don’t worry, you will complete the level as long as one of you reaches the glitch.
