In the “Soaring Desperados”mission from Chapter 4 of Split Fiction, players team up with a partner to navigate through an exhilarating environment while utilizing jetpacks made from the Overseer’s eyes. These jetpacks serve as a replacement for the standard double jump but allow for hovering in mid-air for a brief period before needing to recharge on landing.
This guide aims to provide a comprehensive walkthrough of the challenges you’ll encounter in the “Soaring Desperados”mission, ensuring you can effectively harness the capabilities of your jetpack. Get ready to soar!
Split Fiction Chapter 4: Soaring Desperados Walkthrough
1) Navigate the Laser Tunnel
Upon encountering the deadly green laser traps, you will soon reach a tunnel entryway obstructed by a breakable wall. Use your weapon to shoot and demolish it, creating a passage forward. Once inside, you’ll be propelled by strong propulsion barriers; let these barriers carry you swiftly while you expertly dodge any obstacles that arise. As you exit the tunnel, you’ll emerge near a massive factory.
2) Dodge the Spinning Blades
Outside, take note of a long wire crossing a gap. Your objective is to fly over it while managing your jetpack fuel carefully. There’s a spinning blade that glides along the wire; a direct hit will send you back to the last checkpoint. Keep your eyes on its rotation and adjust your flying techniques to avoid damage.
For those seeking an extra challenge, a side mission called Notebook is available through a portal on your left. If not, continue your progress.
3) Utilize Floating Platforms
Ahead lies a series of floating platforms equipped with switches blocking your path. Shoot the switches to activate temporary platforms that appear. These platforms are essential for landing and refilling your jetpack fuel as needed. Use them strategically!
Upon navigating the platforms, you’ll find a grappling hook. Swing across to another tunnel, which is secured with barriers. Destroy the necessary switches to unlock your path. Inside, you’ll encounter another high-speed propulsion barrier that requires careful maneuvering through tight spaces.
4) Engage in Combat with Drones
This section pits you against aggressive drones and automated turrets. Keeping your movement constant is crucial to avoid taking damage. Eliminate the turrets as you advance to lessen the amount of incoming fire.
It’s advisable to move close to the left wall, where you’ll find two sets of rising platforms that serve as safe zones for refueling your jetpack. Use these areas wisely as you dodge enemy attacks. At the end, a large structure leads to the mission’s final puzzle.
5) Solve the Lock Puzzle
This final puzzle requires teamwork. Begin by using your shield buster on the yellow switch to activate the mechanism. Next, shoot the inner switch to propel it forward. Timing is everything—ensure the mechanism navigates through openings without colliding with the walls.
Once the mechanism makes it to the center, a yellow bar will start depleting. You and your partner must complete the puzzle before this bar runs out. Synchronizing your actions is key to aligning the mechanisms correctly. Successful execution opens a door above, granting access to the last tunnel.
6) Escape the Final Green Laser Traps
Inside this final tunnel, you’ll face moving green barriers that create a perilous obstacle course. Watch out for a spinning pillar emitting laser beams; precise flying is required here. Time your descent perfectly to reach the shield busters, which will help you break through the two barriers blocking your exit.
Once you navigate past these challenges, land on the designated pedestals to successfully complete the mission. Your characters will leave the jetpacks behind, signaling the end of the “Soaring Desperados”mission.
Successfully conquering this mission necessitates careful flight management, fuel conservation, and seamless teamwork with your partner. Mastering jetpack controls, timing your moves, and swiftly tackling the puzzles will enable you to advance to the next challenge in Split Fiction Chapter 4.
