There are 13 Halo Campaign Evolved Terminals hidden in the game - one per level - that you can activate to unlock new lore entries. Unlike some of the Skulls, you don't need any fancy tricks to find them as they're just well-hidden, usually in some side room or behind something a little off the critical path.
But since they don't make any obvious noises, they're easy to miss if you aren't being thorough. And don't expect your knowledge of the Terminal locations in Halo Combat Evolved Anniversary to help either! To help you collect every Terminal in Halo Campaign Evolved, I've laid out all 13 locations below, which will also unlock the Lore Have Mercy trophy/achievement.
There are three Halo Campaign Evolved Skulls to collect in each level, so keep an eye and ear out for those too.
Halo Campaign Evolved Pillar of Autumn Terminal
From Rally Point Charlie, when going through the upper cryo room with the cracked windows.
This is the room where Cortana says, "it looks like the Covenant wanted to catch you napping". Proceed through the next door, then immediately turn left to find another open door leading into a small room with red lights and lots of screens everywhere. The Pillar of Autumn Terminal in Halo Campaign Evolved is at the far end, which unlocks the Approach entry.
Halo Campaign Evolved Halo Terminal
From Rally Point Bravo, as you drive into the "this cave is not a natural formation" Forerunner tunnel.
Drive through the tunnel until you reach the straight section with two small bumps in the road and a large window on your right. Hop out your Warthog, then jump through the window and carefully drop down to the ledge directly below. You'll find the Halo Terminal, Forgotten, down there.
Halo Campaign Evolved Truth and Reconciliation Terminal
From Rally Point Charlie, as you make your way to the brig to find Captain Keyes after clearing out the ship's command room.
After navigating several corridors after the command room, you'll eventually arrive at a large room with several doors around the perimeter. Go through the one immediately on the right as you enter and you'll find yourself in one of the prison rooms. Use the central console to deactivate the forcefields and then head inside the cell almost opposite the console to find the Truth and Reconciliation Terminal and get the Inquisitor lore entry.
Halo Campaign Evolved Silent Cartographer Terminal
From Rally Point Bravo, just after you shut down the security system.
From the security system console, turn around and head to the outer walkway of this area and look for the extended platform. The Status Update Terminal is behind a small Forerunner structure with two pointy bits.
Halo Campaign Evolved Assault on the Control Room Terminal
From Rally Point Charlie, after you've gone up the ice cave.
When you emerge into the canyon from the ice cave, follow the path to the right, then go through the doorway in the central rock formation on your left.
Head through the door and follow the corridor until you reach a large, empty central rooms. From here, go up the ramp that leads onto a balcony, then look to your right once you get onto the balcony. You'll find the Terminal for Assault on the Control Room, Tangent 1, tucked in the corner.
Halo Campaign Evolved 343 Guilty Spark Terminal
From Rally Point Bravo, after backtracking partway through the Forerunner facility while fighting the Flood.
You'll eventually reach a point on your journey through this facility where you have to go through a door with two large, pale symbols on either side.
Head through and turn left to find a cluster of dead marines and all their gear. From here take the next right to go down a dark corridor where you'll find the Halo Campaign Evolved 343 Guilty Spark Terminal – Tangent 2, which carries on from the last one.
Halo Campaign Evolved The Library Terminal
From Rally Point Bravo, after 343 Guilty Spark opens a large door and you're presented with two consoles, with a prompt directing you to the one on the right.
Ignore the objective and activate the console on the left to open a doorway on the left.
Head through and then go through the small hole in the Flood-infested wall. This will lead you into a small room featuring a dead marine and the Library Terminal, which rounds out the Tangent series into a trilogy.
Halo Campaign Evolved Two Betrayals Terminal
From Rally Point Alpha, right after destroying all the attacking Sentinels.
Rather than heading out the door straight ahead, head right and run around the ring walkway instead. You'll run into the Two Betrayals Terminal here, unlocking the Alone entry.
Halo Campaign Evolved Keyes Terminal
From Rally Point Charlie, when trying to ascend to a higher deck in the shuttle bay.
After dropping off to the ground floor of the shuttle bay, follow the objective marker through the door then right and up the inclined corridor – there are always Flood enemies and two Hunters in here. When you get to the first junction halfway up the corridor, turn left then left again to find the Terminal for Keyes in Halo Campaign Evolved.
Halo Campaign Evolved The Maw Terminal
From Rally Point Alpha, after clearing out the mess hall room.
From the entrance to the mess hall, bear right and you'll find the Arrival Terminal in a nook on top of some UNSC boxes.
Halo Campaign Evolved Boarding Action Terminal
From Rally Point Delta, after you've taken the gravity lift upwards to head for the Triumph of Tolerance's upper decks.
This grav lift will put you right in front of the corridor and doorway you’re meant to go through for the final combat encounter of the mission, but the terminal is behind you. Turn to face the opposite direction and then go through the door on the right to find the Heavy Burden Terminal.
Halo Campaign Evolved The Most Dangerous Game Terminal
Rally Point Charlie, after rescuing the marines from the brig.
Fight through the rest of the ship following the objective markers until you reach a room with several windows on the left that let you see many sarcophagus-like devices in a large room. Instead of going through the next door, head through the one on the right and you'll find a storage room full of UNSC gear, including the Halo Campaign Evolved Terminal for this mission, Penitent Report.
Halo Campaign Evolved Heavy Burden Terminal
From Rally Point Bravo, immediately after the cutscene where Chief and Johnson get the starholo data.
At the start of this Rally Point, you'll be facing a pair of doors on the far side of this room on the ground floor. Go through either of them to reach another pair of doors. Go through either of those doors to get inside a Covenant armory, then go through the next door to reach a relatively small storage room. The Terminal for Heavy Burden is hidden behind the Covenant equipment on the left.
These Terminals are just one of the many Halo Campaign Evolved changes compared to the original. Bear in mind that finding them all is also going to add a fairly significant amount of time to how long it takes you to beat Halo Campaign Evolved too.
