CICADAMATA Terminal Locations - All 18 Sphere Terminals
Quick answer
There are 18 known Sphere Terminals. Viewing every Terminal unlocks EAT THE PATH; Museum / Extras behavior is community sourced.
CICADAMATA currently has 18 known Sphere Terminals, one in each listed main Sphere level. Viewing every Terminal unlocks EAT THE PATH. Community reports say to collect all known Terminals to unlock Museum in Extras; that Museum / Extras behavior is community sourced, not officially verified.
Use this page as the location checklist. If you only need the achievement requirement and a short completion reminder, use EAT THE PATH.
What Do All 18 Terminals Unlock?
Finding and viewing all 18 Terminals unlocks EAT THE PATH. Current community reports also connect full Terminal completion to the locked Museum entry under Extras; this wiki does not treat that unlock path as an official rule yet.
The Museum contains WIP / unused extra levels and related behind-the-scenes content rather than another normal Sphere. If the last Extra below Credits is still locked, finish the Terminal checklist first.
