Collapsing Star Side Quest Walkthrough
As the mission unfolds in Split Fiction, protagonists Mio and Zoe find themselves in a perilous area on the brink of destruction. Your first task is to enter the door ahead, descend the stairs, and navigate towards the platform in front of you. Once Mio and Zoe reach the opposite side, make your way to the machines and interact with them to proceed.
Upon interacting with the machines, a door will automatically open, revealing the distressing sight of a dying sun. Your objective is to reach it safely before it explodes. Glass barriers will offer crucial protection against the impending explosion. As you maneuver through the last glass barrier, consider using ropes to traverse the ledge ahead. Climb the ladder and veer left to uncover more interactive machines essential for your progress.
Once you engage with these machines, the lift will malfunction and drop due to the sun’s intensity. After regaining your footing following the fall, be prepared to jump across a moving platform on your right while skillfully avoiding various obstacles. Remember to use the glass barriers for cover against the dangerous sun rays as you advance.
Successfully navigating the platform will trigger another explosion—a fortunate turn of events that clears your path. Ahead, a pillar button awaits, enabling one character to ascend the platform while the other follows suit. You must repeat this jumping sequence three times to ensure the safe traversal of both characters across the pillars.
Once both characters make it across the pillar buttons, the last jump will grant access to a lift equipped with interactive machines. By interacting with them, you’ll rise and leap onto the overhead poles. Utilize the barriers for cover from the sun’s rays, and on the last pole, pull yourself up to reach the platform on your right.
Once on the platform, head through the door directly ahead and move to the right within the room. After exiting, locate the glass barrier. Use the rope to advance while standing behind the shield, timing your movement to avoid the sun’s blasts. When the sun has cooled down, rush to the next interactive machines and press the button to construct a barrier for further protection.
Continuing your escape, dash towards another set of interactive machines while navigating spinning cylinders. Refine your route by turning left at the last platform, crossing another path utilizing ropes and glass shields to avoid the sun’s lethal rays. Jump among the poles to create an additional shield to defend against the sun’s intensity—this step comprises three distinct parts.
Once you create the final shield, advance towards the next barrier, finding movable shields to aid your passage. Interact with the machines at the forefront to unlock a new route, maintaining your sprint across while leveraging your shields against increasingly powerful sun beams. Teamwork cannot be overstated here; rely on each other for protection as you progress.
To conclude the mission, reach the final machines and engage with them to unleash a fierce cannon attack on the dying sun. By continuously interacting with the equipment, you’ll witness the sun’s destruction unfolding before your eyes. This explosion will eventually lead to a black hole appearing, transporting you both back to the main quest arena.
