Find all hidden terminals and weapon caches in Marathon Infinity. This guide details acquisition strategies for these valuable finds across levels.

While Marathon Infinity is primarily a fast-paced shooter, dedicated You can uncover hidden terminals and weapon caches that provide crucial lore, tactical advantages, or simply make your life a little easier on harder difficulties. This section details the locations and acquisition strategies for these valuable finds across various levels.

Hidden Terminals

Hidden terminals often contain cryptic messages, background story elements, or even hints for future levels. Unlike standard terminals, these require specific actions or keen observation to access.

• "Where Some Rarely Go" (Level 3: "Waldo")
  • Location: After navigating the initial lava-filled corridors and reaching the large, multi-tiered central chamber with the Pfhor fighters, look for a small, dark alcove on the highest accessible platform.
  • Strategy: You'll need to perform a precise grenade jump or utilize a well-timed fusion pistol shot to propel yourself onto this platform. Once there, activate the wall panel to reveal the terminal. This terminal often provides early warnings about S'pht activity.
• "The Silent Witness" (Level 7: "Aye Mak Sicur")
  • Location: In the sprawling, interconnected ventilation shafts that make up the latter half of the level, search for a section where the floor grating is slightly discolored.
  • Strategy: A single shot from any weapon will destroy the weak grating, dropping you into a hidden maintenance tunnel. Follow this tunnel to its end to find a terminal detailing the history of the Jjaro. Be wary of F'lickta ambushes in the tunnel.

Weapon Caches & Power-ups

These hidden stashes provide valuable ammunition, powerful weapons, or temporary power-ups that can turn the tide of a difficult encounter.

• Flamethrower Stash (Level 5: "Habeo Corpus")
  • Location: In the large, open chamber with the central pillar and multiple Pfhor patrols, locate a seemingly solid wall section near the eastern exit.
  • Strategy: This wall is a secret door. Shoot it with any projectile weapon (preferably a pistol to conserve ammo) until it slides open. Inside, you'll find a Flamethrower and a significant amount of fuel. This is invaluable for clearing out clustered Pfhor or dealing with Juggernauts.
• Invincibility Power-up (Level 9: "Poor Yorick")
  • Location: After traversing the initial labyrinthine corridors and entering the first large combat arena with the multiple S'pht compilers, look for a small, elevated ledge in the northwest corner.
  • Strategy: This ledge is just out of reach for a standard jump. You'll need to utilize a well-placed grenade jump from the lower platform, or, if you're feeling daring, lure a Hunter to the edge and use its explosion to boost yourself up. The Invincibility power-up lasts for 30 seconds and is perfect for rushing through heavily defended areas or taking down a particularly nasty Juggernaut.
• Rocket Launcher Reserve (Level 12: "Acme Station")
  • Location: In the final section of the level, just before the teleporter to the next map, there's a narrow, dark passage to the south that appears to be a dead end.
  • Strategy: This passage contains a hidden switch on the wall, often obscured by shadows. Activating it will open a compartment revealing a Rocket Launcher and a full clip of rockets. This is extremely useful for the upcoming boss encounter or for clearing out the final waves of enemies.
