The Ghost Town mission unfolds in The Hollow, the seventh chapter of Split Fiction. It kicks off dramatically when Zoe and Mio are ambushed by a snake-like creature while descending a towering structure, resulting in a fall onto an unlit brazier. Players must help Zoe and Mio navigate through a ghost-infested town filled with treacherous terrain, dodging various dangers along the way.
This comprehensive guide aims to equip you with the necessary strategies for successfully completing the Ghost Town mission.
Ghost Town Walkthrough for Split Fiction
Before diving into the adventure, let’s review the new abilities that Zoe and Mio acquire:
- Zoe’s Ability: Under the influence of a green, spirit-like fish companion, Zoe can use a vortex pull technique to attract gold objects akin to a magnet.
- Mio’s Ability: Accompanied by a flying golden spirit bird, Mio can illuminate golden objects, such as chandeliers, and even create solid light paths to traverse difficult areas.
As the mission begins, Zoe and Mio hit an unlit brazier, causing it to break and skid along the terrain. The brazier advances automatically, requiring players to coordinate their movements skillfully to guide it in the correct direction.
Initial Challenges
- Navigate carefully, avoiding various obstacles to prevent the brazier from crashing or falling off precarious pathways.
- Be prepared for several snake monsters attacks — changing directions frequently will help to evade them.
- Eventually, the brazier will float over a body of water, presenting new challenges.
Working Through the Water
- Here, ghosts will try to capture Zoe, requiring Mio to utilize her light ability swiftly to eliminate them.
- As the brazier now floats and no longer moves on its own, Zoe must use her magnetic ability to pull it forward from nearby flat surfaces.
- Continue employing this method to navigate through the water efficiently.
Opening the Barrier Ahead
- A barrier blocks the way forward. Mio needs to climb the chain beside the barrier to trigger its opening.
- While she does this, Zoe must stay in the brazier and utilize her pull ability on the wall ahead to bypass the barrier.
- Once through, Mio should jump back onto the brazier to continue progressing.
Puzzle of Statues and Rotating Wheel
As you advance, another ghost enemy will emerge. Use Mio’s light ability to vanquish this foe. In the vicinity, three statues need to be rotated — again, employing Mio’s light ability. Each statue features a flat surface that allows Zoe to use her pull ability for moving the brazier forward. Repeat this for all the statues to clear the area.
Navigating the Rotating Wheel
You will now encounter a blocked pathway, requiring the rotation of a massive wheel:
- On the left side, Zoe and Mio should scale the wall and jump through openings to ascend to the rooftop.
- There, they will discover a chandelier — Mio is to illuminate it.
- At the bottom-left wall, Zoe should pull the chandelier to activate the mechanism.
- This will set the wheel in motion.
- As soon as the opening aligns with the brazier, both players should release their abilities to halt the wheel.
- Return to the brazier and proceed forward.
Approaching the Ballista
Continue left into a chamber and ascend the stairs. Drop down onto the roof until you reach a formidable ballista. Both characters must interact with it to fire and automatically strike two chandeliers, causing them to plunge into the water. Now, utilize grappling hooks to swing across the fallen chandeliers to navigate further.
Solving the Catapult Puzzle
Make your way up a nearby chain until you reach a catapult featuring a golden chandelier overhead. The goal is to launch both characters into the air to activate the chandelier mid-flight:
- Zoe should use her pull ability to bring the catapult’s launching platform down.
- Both characters must stand on the catapult.
- Once ready, Mio should time her ability precisely — as soon as Zoe releases her pull, the catapult will launch them.
- In the air, Mio must illuminate the chandelier, creating a light floor for both to safely land.
Final Steps in the Mission
Advance further until a massive bell comes into view. Utilize grappling hooks to swing across the gap. Soon after, you’ll spot a floating bell — Zoe must use her pull ability to restore it to its original position. This enables both players to grapple onto it and cross the area.
As you traverse across the floating bell, the Ghost Town mission in Split Fiction comes to a successful conclusion.
