The Isolation chapter in Split Fiction ends with a tough fight against Dark Mio, a relentless boss who won’t give you much breathing room. If you’re stuck in a loop where Zoe keeps getting stabbed, don’t worry—you’re not dealing with a bug. You just need to approach the final moment differently.
Dark Mio Boss Fight Overview
Zoe fights Dark Mio in the real world.
Mio is trapped inside Dark Mio and must try to take control.
The fight is mostly about dodging with short attack windows.
Zoe is the only one who can deal damage since her magnet ability deflects Dark Mio’s attacks.
How to Beat Dark Mio
Avoid Attacks & Deflect Projectiles
Zoe: Wait for Dark Mio to slam the ground. A green pulse will appear on the platform.
Zoe: Use her magnet ability to shake Dark Mio off balance.
Mio: As soon as Zoe stuns Dark Mio, try to take control of her. The window is small, so react fast.
Throw and Deflect the Green Object
Mio: Once inside Dark Mio’s mind, find a green object above the platforms.
Mio: Throw the green object at Zoe.
Zoe: Deflect it back at Dark Mio to deal damage.
Final Showdown – The Button Trick
In the last phase, Dark Mio and Zoe fight up close.
Dark Mio swings her scythe, trying to hit Zoe.
Zoe dodges and grabs the scythe, leading to the final moment.
Important: At the very end, only Zoe should press the button.
Mio must do nothing—pressing or holding the button will cause Dark Mio to win.
If Zoe is the only one interacting, Dark Mio is defeated and the fight ends successfully.
Final Blurb
This fight is more about coordination than raw damage. If you keep losing at the final moment, remember: Mio needs to stop pressing buttons and let Zoe finish the job.
