Terminal and Time Capsule (Audio Log) Locations

This guide should give you an idea where to find all the Terminals and Audio Logs.

Introduction

I have listed all of the Time Capsules (or Audio Logs) under one section. Most of them should be pretty easy to find, with a few exceptions which are hidden.

As for the Terminals, I have listed them grouped by location. The sections World A/B/C refer to Terminals located within individual levels, while the Other Terminals section refers to Terminals located in the main hub level.

For each Terminal I have listed the text entries as they appear in the ingame Text Log interface, along with the Location. (Most Terminals are right next to the level spawn points so you shouldn't have any trouble finding most of them.)

Please let me know in the comments if I have entered the wrong text entries for a Terminal or forgotten something.

[jellywithanA]

I have all of these but not the achievement, did this happen to anyone?

[khristov]

thank you so much

[Tracpod]

Thank you for the help :)

[ViperDvsh]

A8, B8 and C8 actually not neccesary for the achievement. Got it on a second playthrough were i did not everything

[NinjaCedrik]

*C1 extra

[NinjaCedrik]

I cant find terminal B1 extra. And good guide

[Moroz780]

Thank you very much!!! Revealed which terminal I missed ... - (Land C Elevator Hidden).

[iPuff Lbs]

I was able to get this achievement over multiple runs. Basically I did a full star run and got (what I thought was) all the terminals. On a separate new-game run I collected the hidden C Building terminal and got achievement (without ascending tower or star gates in current run). So if you cant figure out where you went wrong on terminals, just grab hidden ones and see if you unlock before spending an hour grabbing all the obvious ones

[DoubleD]

LoL. Turns out Tab is the Journal key all by itself. Didn't know that....

[DoubleD]

Many thanks for this. I was missing one audio log and this did the trick. By funny coindicence I accidently hit a keyboard combo while I was trying to find the missing logs and it gave me a list so I could see what was missing! Sure spead things up Key combo: Spacebar+Tab .
