CICADAMATA Sphere Murmurs Locations - All Six Starting Boxes
Quick answer
Stay inside the starting box at the start of each Sphere and listen to the full briefing once before leaving.
Sphere Murmurs are the audio collectible objective tied to ST. SANVEI. Use this page for the six Sphere starting boxes and the Murmur listening method; use the achievement page when you only need ST. SANVEI completion steps. Current community notes point to a simple rule: these are not map pickups like Terminals.
Quick Answer
Stay inside the starting box and listen to the full briefing once in each of the six Spheres. Wait until the achievement counter increases before leaving.
For the achievement-focused cleanup version, see ST. SANVEI. This page stays focused on where Murmurs start and how they differ from Terminal locations.
All Sphere Murmurs
| Sphere | Progress | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Emergence | 1/6 | Stay at spawn and listen to the full briefing |
| Icebox | 2/6 | Stay at spawn and listen to the full briefing |
| Deepdive | 3/6 | Stay at spawn and listen to the full briefing |
| Verdant | 4/6 | Stay at spawn and listen to the full briefing |
| Dead Zone | 5/6 | Stay at spawn and listen to the full briefing |
| Encore | 6/6 | Stay at spawn and listen to the full briefing |
ST. SANVEI vs EAT THE PATH
| Objective | Achievement | How it works |
|---|---|---|
| Sphere Murmurs | ST. SANVEI | Listen to the six Sphere start briefings |
| Terminals | EAT THE PATH | View all 18 level Terminals |
Do not route Sphere Murmurs like Terminal locations. For ST. SANVEI, the important action is waiting at the Sphere start until the briefing completes and the achievement counter updates.
Cleanup Checklist
- Start Sphere 1 and stay in the starting box until the murmur finishes.
- Confirm the counter increases before leaving.
- Repeat once for each Sphere through Encore.
- Use the Progress Tracker to keep ST. SANVEI separate from Terminal cleanup.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| Counter did not increase | Replay the Sphere and wait longer before leaving spawn |
| You left early | Restart the Sphere and listen again |
| You are missing EAT THE PATH instead | Use All Terminal Locations |
