Split Fiction Trophy Guide and Platinum Roadmap
Follow these phases in order to protect the missable work and keep cleanup efficient for Split Fiction.
Phase 1: Play the story in co-op
Play through all 8 chapters with your partner. Both players should be signed in to PSN accounts so trophies pop for both.
Explore as you go for benches and side stories, since Mio and Zoe usually point side stories out in dialogue.
Phase 2: Side stories and benches
Use chapter select to finish all 12 side stories for Bookworms, making sure you get Mountain Hike in Neon Revenge.
Sit on the remaining benches for the bench trophy.
Phase 3: Miscellaneous cleanup
Turn on Allow Skipping to Next Checkpoint, then mop up the miscellaneous trophies including the Chapter 4 shooter minigame score.
Phase 4: Platinum
With every trophy earned, It Took Two unlocks. If you are helping a partner, they can bank the same platinum quickly using the fast routes.
Guide notes
Co-op Requirement and Who Earns Trophies
Split Fiction requires two players at all times. Local co-op works with both accounts signed in on one console, while online co-op can use a full copy and the free Friend's Pass. Verify host and guest credit before using a shortcut route.
Guide notes
The Fast Platinum Routes
The documented shortcuts. A platinum holder hosting offline co-op with your account as player two can get you there in roughly an hour, since you only need the final checkpoint of a mission in each chapter, one side story checkpoint for Bookworms and a single bench. Online, an invite to the Chapter 8 final mission plus checkpoint skipping runs around 3 hours.
Guide notes
Does Difficulty Affect Trophies
No. There are no difficulty options, so everyone plays the same game. Damage and section skipping can be adjusted in accessibility settings without penalty.
Guide notes
The 12 Side Stories
Bookworms requires all 12 side stories. Eleven are signposted on the main route by Mio and Zoe's dialogue. Mountain Hike in Neon Revenge is the easy one to miss, so confirm it before leaving the chapter.
- Bookworms needs all 12 side stories. Mountain Hike in Neon Revenge is the one most players miss.
Guide notes
Benches and Miscellaneous Trophies
Use one bench for the related co-op trophy, clear the Chapter 4 shooter minigame high score, then work through the remaining chapter-specific tasks in order. This keeps repeated chapter loads to a minimum.
Guide notes
Chapter Select and Cleanup
Sub-chapter select makes every missed task recoverable. Enable Allow Skipping to Next Checkpoint before cleanup, and remember that the game uses one autosave with no manual backup slots.
- Nothing is permanently missable. Trophies are tied to their chapters, but the sub-chapter select lets you return to any point.
- Enable Allow Skipping to Next Checkpoint in the accessibility options before cleanup. It saves a lot of replaying.
Efficient route
Split Fiction Platinum Strategy
Use these checkpoints alongside the roadmap to keep the Split Fiction trophy route on schedule and protect the high-risk requirements.
Choose the co-op setup before starting
Split Fiction cannot be played solo. For local co-op, sign both trophy accounts into the same console before the first chapter. For online co-op, one player can own the full game while the second uses the free Friend's Pass. Confirm which account is the host and which is the guest before relying on chapter shortcuts, because trophy credit needs to be verified on the profile that wants the platinum.
Keep the same account pairing through the story when possible. Changing host, guest, or local player order halfway through makes it harder to diagnose a missing side story or chapter-specific trophy. After an important unlock, pause long enough to confirm it on both profiles before moving to the next checkpoint.
Use the fast route only after verifying credit
An offline partner who already has the platinum can load the final checkpoint of one mission in each chapter, one side story checkpoint for Bookworms, and one bench. This can reduce the route to roughly an hour for the second account. Online, an invite to the final Chapter 8 mission combined with checkpoint skipping is closer to three hours.
These methods depend on the game recognising the joining account correctly. Test one early chapter trophy first. If it unlocks, continue with the shortened sequence. If it does not, return to the normal chapter route rather than completing every shortcut and discovering at the end that the guest account did not receive credit.
Clear side stories and miscellaneous tasks before the finale
Bookworms requires all 12 side stories. Eleven sit close to the main route and are introduced by Mio and Zoe's dialogue. Mountain Hike in Neon Revenge is the usual miss, so confirm it in chapter select before assuming the side-story list is complete. Use one bench for the related co-op trophy and clear the Chapter 4 shooter minigame high score while that chapter is already loaded.
Nothing is permanently missable because the sub-chapter selector returns to specific checkpoints. Enable Allow Skipping to Next Checkpoint before cleanup to reduce repeated traversal. The game keeps one autosave and no manual saves, so finish the current task and verify the trophy before loading another sub-chapter.
Confirm both profiles before ending the session
Open the trophy list on both co-op accounts after the final chapter and compare the missing entries. A side story, bench, or minigame trophy may exist on one profile but not the other if the account was not active at the required checkpoint. Use sub-chapter select to repair only the missing task, keep the same host and guest order that produced valid credit earlier, and wait for both unlock notifications before loading another checkpoint.
Use accessibility tools during cleanup
Damage adjustments and checkpoint skipping do not disable trophies. Use them when revisiting a known task so cleanup tests the requirement rather than repeating completed combat.
Keep a compact chapter checklist
For each chapter, record its side story, miscellaneous trophy, and whether both co-op profiles received credit. Complete the local items before loading the next chapter. This is faster than scanning the full trophy list at the end and makes the single autosave less risky because the current checkpoint only needs to protect one small group of tasks.
