The captivating universe of Split Fiction comprises eight primary chapters, supplemented by an assortment of sub-chapters and side missions. One of the standout side missions is encountered in the third chapter, titled Hopes of Spring. Here, players embark on the adrenaline-pumping Train Heist quest, a high-speed chase that combines thrilling elements of gliding, skiing, and evading missiles launched from enemies.
Before embarking on this quest, you need to progress to Chapter 3. In this chapter, look out for the Lord Evergreen subchapter. To initiate the Train Heist, players must first interact with a translucent bubble visible in the game environment. This action will unlock the quest, guiding you into the excitement that awaits within Split Fiction.
This guide will provide detailed instructions on successfully navigating the Train Heist side quest.
Completing the Train Heist in Split Fiction
The Train Heist quest is comprised of **four distinct stages**. Upon initiating the quest by interacting with the bubble, you and your partner will embark on the first stage, where the goal is to glide through the air while skillfully avoiding a series of obstacles and barriers.
As you complete this stage, Zoe will inform you of the next challenge. You will find yourself gliding through a picturesque waterfall towards a dam, marking the transition to the exhilarating chase sequence. During this phase, players must dodge incoming missiles while persistently pursuing a speeding train.
This train is defended by an aerial enemy known as The Conductor, which you will ultimately need to defeat, but the confrontation will be reserved for the end of the mission. Initially, your primary concern will be avoiding collisions with the train, as you enter a river following this segment. This transition marks the beginning of the second stage where you will ski along the river while tethered to the train.
During this skiing segment, you must carefully navigate through obstacles prompted by The Conductor’s bombardments. Successfully avoiding these hazards will lead you to grapple onto the train and commence the third stage. In this phase, maintain your momentum as you run toward The Conductor, all while ensuring that you do not fall off the train. After a brief period of pursuit, you will find two mini-ships; interact with them to unlock the final stage of the quest.
The concluding stage of the Train Heist entails an intense battle with The Conductor, with its health bar displayed at the top of your screen. This segment is reminiscent of classic retro video game chase sequences, where dodging and attacking coalesce. Failing to evade The Conductor’s attacks once will damage your shield, while two failures result in your character’s demise and subsequent respawn.
Upon successfully defeating The Conductor, the Train Heist mission will conclude, allowing you to return to the main storyline of Split Fiction.
