CICADAMATA Walkthrough - Levels, Terminals & Cleanup Order
Quick answer
Start with normal clears, then collect all 18 Terminals for EAT THE PATH, then return for DMND and Sphere Murmur cleanup.
This walkthrough is intentionally practical: it does not pretend every route benchmark is solved, but it does give you the current Terminal answers and a sane cleanup order.
Recommended Order
- Clear each Sphere once to unlock movement comfort and progression achievements.
- Use All Terminal Locations to collect every Terminal.
- Confirm EAT THE PATH after all 18 Terminals are viewed.
- Return to each Sphere for DMND attempts and Sphere Murmur cleanup.
