In this CICADAMATA Beginner Guide, I’ll show you all Terminal locations in CICADAMATA, covering every level from 1-1 through 6-3. Finding every Terminal is required for the EAT THE PATH achievement, so if you are going for 100% completion, you’ll want to check every location carefully.
I’ve organized the locations by Sphere and level so you can quickly find the Terminal you are missing.
CICADAMATA Beginner Guide – All Terminal Locations Walkthorugh
1-1
The Terminal is to the right of where you drop in, inside the red area.
Look around the right side of the starting area before continuing through the level.
1-2
You can find the Terminal right next to the second Core.
Once you reach the second Core, check the area immediately beside it.
1-3
After collecting the second Core, continue onto the blocky platform.
The Terminal is located just after the second Core on this platform.
Sphere 2 Terminal Locations
2-1
There are Terminal locations to check in this level.
The first is below the Core.
Continue past the ring and look for the small island. The second Terminal is located there.
Make sure you check both areas before leaving the level.
2-2
The first Terminal is located halfway down the final slope.
The second is behind the orange house.
If you’re approaching the end of the level, don’t simply rush toward the exit. Check these two areas first.
2-3
Before reaching the final Core, look for the platform on the wall with the black warehouse.
The Terminal is located there.
Sphere 3 Terminal Locations
3-1
The first Terminal is located on the container ship with the Core.
The second is on the far side of the bridge.
Make sure you check both areas because they are separated by a considerable distance.
3-2
Look around the container yard on the left for the first Terminal.
The second is located above the crane, on the platform marked A2.
3-3
The first Terminal can be found in the final room with the exit submarine.
For the second one, continue past the green pipes on the right and check the area beyond them.
Sphere 4 Terminal Locations
4-1
Head to the central island with the tiered pyramid.
One Terminal is located around this area.
Another can be found on the right side of the second level.
Take your time around the pyramid because the locations can be easy to overlook while moving through the level.
4-2
From the first platform, jump off to the left and fall to the lowest level.
The Terminal is located down there.
This one is particularly easy to miss if you simply follow the main route.
4-3
Reach the open area containing multiple rooms.
From there, take the first passage on the left.
Continue into the next room and look for an alcove in the left corner above the crab.
The Terminal is inside this area.
Sphere 5 Terminal Locations
5-1
The first Terminal is located on the twisting platforms behind your starting point.
After dropping into the level, turn around and check the platforms behind you.
The second Terminal is on the back of the pillar on the lowest level.
Make sure you check behind the pillar rather than only looking around its front.
5-2
Continue through the level until you reach the section where the path splits.
Take the left path.
Go inside and use the bouncer to reach the second floor, then turn around.
The Terminal is located in this area.
This one is easier to miss because the correct route initially looks like an optional path.
5-3
Continue through the level until you reach the meadows-themed area.
Pass the volcano and continue toward the giant earthmover.
Once you reach the earthmover, head left around its base.
Then look between the two slopes to find the Terminal.
Sphere 6 Terminal Locations
6-1
Head toward the leftmost stands.
Once you reach them, check behind the far side.
The Terminal is hidden behind the stands, so make sure you move around the structure rather than only checking from the front.
6-2
Continue through the section containing the rollers.
Stop at the fourth wall.
From there, jump to the right and go around the wall.
You need to balance on the thin platform between the water and lava.
The Terminal is located along this difficult-to-reach section.
6-3
At the beginning of the level, head toward the large platform.
From there, look to the left and make your way toward the crane.
Check around the crane area for the Terminal.
EAT THE PATH Achievement
To unlock EAT THE PATH, you need to view every Terminal in the game.
The important thing is not just completing the levels. Several Terminals are deliberately placed away from the main route, behind structures, underneath platforms, or along alternative paths.
For an easier cleanup run, use this checklist:
| Sphere | Levels to Check |
|---|---|
| Sphere 1 | 1-1, 1-2, 1-3 |
| Sphere 2 | 2-1, 2-2, 2-3 |
| Sphere 3 | 3-1, 3-2, 3-3 |
| Sphere 4 | 4-1, 4-2, 4-3 |
| Sphere 5 | 5-1, 5-2, 5-3 |
| Sphere 6 | 6-1, 6-2, 6-3 |
I recommend checking each Terminal as soon as you enter the relevant area instead of trying to remember which ones you’ve already visited. If you’re missing EAT THE PATH, go through the checklist from 1-1 to 6-3 and revisit every location above.
Some of the easiest ones to miss are the Terminals behind structures, below the main route, and on small side platforms, so don’t assume you’ve found everything just because you’ve reached the end of a level.
