In Chapter 7 of Split Fiction, titled Spiritual Guides, players embark on an extraordinary journey within the depths of Zoe’s subconscious. As Zoe and her companion Miko awaken in a surreal cavern that mirrors her fractured psyche, they encounter a two-headed, colossal centipede—a remarkable fusion of their spirits, designed to guide them through perilous landscapes marked by molten lava, unstable ground, and hidden traps.
Success in this unique segment hinges on the precise coordination between Zoe and Miko, as they must work together to navigate the challenges ahead. The Spiritual Guides segment serves as a true test of teamwork, requiring impeccable timing and cooperation to succeed.
A Comprehensive Guide to Spiritual Guides (Chapter 7) in Split Fiction
Cutting the Chains and Accessing the Temple
Once the cutscene concludes, proceed to the entrance of the temple, and focus on severing the four chains. This action will drop the platform—next, grab the hook at the base, pull it back, and secure it to unlock the gate in front of you.
As you enter the temple, traversing to the left side is crucial to dodge the falling lava. Make sure to stick close together; any significant distance apart may lead to one player taking damage from unexpected hazards.
Navigating Climbing Sections and Lava Hazards
To ascend the wooden ledges, utilize the swinging mechanic:
- The lead player swings forward and grabs the next ledge.
- The trailing player releases at the optimal moment to push the centipede onward.
Keep an eye out for lava drips emanating from a statue, timing your jumps appropriately to avoid getting scorched.
Upon reaching the summit, both players will find themselves on separate paths that lead to a sequence involving moving platforms.
Crossing the Moving Platforms
Initially, the left player should step onto the platform while the right player stands back. As the platform makes its move, the right player will follow closely behind. Carefully maintain this alternating pattern to stay clear of erupting lava geysers.
Defeating Lava-Spitting Monsters and Solving the Water Puzzle
Next, drop down to confront the lava-spitting enemies before disengaging the gate’s anchors. After that, pull the plug on the lizard statue to release water. One player must absorb this water and channel it through the centipede’s body, creating a navigable path over the lava. This process will need to be repeated until you reach the pivotal lava wheel puzzle.
Mastering the Lava Wheel Puzzle
Your ultimate challenge in this chapter involves a series of fiery, rotating wheels. You will need to employ grappling hooks while carefully timing your releases to proceed. Follow these essential steps:
- Secure the first hook and propel yourself forward.
- Avoid the flames by timing your release perfectly.
- Latch onto the next hook swiftly before plunging down.
- Continue this pattern through multiple rotating wheels.
Precision is key, as failing this test will result in starting over. Upon successfully overcoming this section, the final door will open, leading to a cutscene that signifies the conclusion of the Spiritual Guides mission.
