CICADAMATA 4-3 Ribbon Guide
Quick answer
4-3 Ribbon is a Sphere 4 level. Use this route page for the Terminal location, 130,853 CCDA score, Core to EXFIL walkthrough notes, DMND scoring priorities and current speedrun context.
Level Overview
Core to EXFIL Walkthrough
- Run the direct Core route once before adding Terminal, Murmur or DMND detours.
- Use the first successful clear to mark the safest enemy packs, Core order and EXFIL approach.
- After the basic line is stable, add scoring actions only where they feed ZONE or prevent late-route pressure.
Terminal Location
From the start, follow the corridors into the main hub room, take the first left, then check the elevated platform in the back-left corner.

The target is 130,853 CCDA score. Speed protects Time Bonus, but DMND usually needs deliberate scoring: use Dash, Stomp, Spike or Void kills where they are safe, collect Cores cleanly and keep ZONE active through dense scoring sections.
- Build score before the EXFIL push.
- Use movement kills and stomp chains where the route allows it.
- Keep ZONE or Starstruck active through the final scoring stretch.
