Power & Early Setup

Rounds 1–5

STEP 01

Activate all three power generators

Three generators are scattered across the island. Generator A is in the docks area, Generator B is near the main prison block, and Generator C is in the back jungle path. Activating all three unlocks the Pack-a-Punch. Terminus step 1

Required Unlocks PaP

Generator A — Docks: Head down from spawn toward the water. The generator is inside the Shipping Office building, ground floor, east wall.
Generator B — Prison Block: Take the main corridor past the cafeteria. The generator room is behind a breakable wall — melee it once to open.
Generator C — Research Lab: Go through the jungle tunnel, past the waterfall. The generator is on the upper platform of the Bio-Research Building.

⚠ Each generator spawns 2 Manglers when activated. Have your weapon Pack-a-Punched before activating B and C.

STEP 02

Use the Pack-a-Punch Machine

Once all generators are on, the PaP machine activates on the island's central courtyard. Pack your primary weapon before proceeding. Terminus step 2

Required

STEP 03

Locate and read Dr. Peck's research notes (×3)

Three glowing yellow notepads are scattered throughout the map. Interacting with all three triggers the first cutscene and starts the main quest proper. Terminus step 3

Triggers Quest Glows yellow

Note 1: On the desk inside the Warden's Office, second floor of the main prison building. Look for the blinking light.
Note 2: In the Bio-Lab underground section, on a metal bench near the centrifuge machines.
Note 3: Pinned to the wall in the Interrogation Block, east wing ground floor.

STEP 04

Retrieve Dr. Peck's ID Badge

After reading the notes, a special Mangler will spawn wearing Peck's badge as a glowing item. Kill it and collect the badge drop. This unlocks the Bio-Lab terminal room. Terminus step 4

Elite Enemy

🔫

Craft the Beamsmasher

Mid-Game

⚠

Order Matters Collecting Beamsmasher parts in any order is fine, but you must have the ID Badge (Step 04) before the crafting table activates.

STEP 05

Collect the Plasma Cell — Part 1

Kill 50 zombies with melee weapons near the Docks area. After the 50th kill, a glowing green orb (the Plasma Cell) appears floating above the crates. Walk into it to collect. Terminus step 5

WW Part Solo Friendly

STEP 06

Collect the Resonance Coil — Part 2

In the Research Lab, solve the spinning coil puzzle. Three coils on the wall rotate — match all three to the alignment shown on the diagram on Peck's notes. Terminus step 6

WW Part Interact 3 coils

Interact with the Left Coil until it points UP.
Interact with the Centre Coil until it points RIGHT.
Interact with the Right Coil until it points UP.
All three will lock with a green glow. Collect the Coil from the table below them.

💡 The coil directions are fixed in every match — they never change.

STEP 07

Collect the Power Core — Part 3

The Power Core is dropped by the Abomination boss which roams the Jungle Path. Requires the Beamsmasher parts 1 & 2 to already be in your inventory to trigger the Abomination spawn. Terminus step 7

WW Part Boss Spawn

STEP 08

Assemble the Beamsmasher at the crafting table

Take all three parts to the Crafting Table inside the Bio-Lab. Hold the interact button (≈3 sec) to assemble. The Beamsmasher will replace your secondary weapon slot.

Rounds 10–15

STEP 10

Locate and memorise (or decode) the 3 wall symbols

After obtaining the Beamsmasher, Peck gives a radio message. Three sections of the prison courtyard walls begin glowing with alien symbols. Use the decoder above — select each symbol in left-to-right order. Terminus step 9

🦂

Keres — The Terminus Sentinel

A mutated bio-weapon with three distinct phases. Weak to the Beamsmasher and explosive damage.

1

Phase 1 — Claw Rush (100% → 66% HP)

Keres charges at players in a straight line. Always sprint left or right — never backwards. Exposed back weakpoint glows orange. Hit it with Beamsmasher charged shots for 3× damage. Adds: Standard zombie waves.

2

Phase 2 — Shield Wall (66% → 33% HP)

Keres extends a bio-electric shield. The shield blocks all conventional damage. Shoot the 4 glowing orbs orbiting its body (use Beamsmasher EMP alt-fire to chain them). Once all 4 orbs are destroyed the shield drops for 8 seconds — unload everything. Adds: Manglers + Disciples.

3

Phase 3 — Enrage (33% → 0% HP)

Keres increases speed and spawns clones. The real Keres has a fully red health bar (clones show 40% bars). Focus fire on the real one. Beamsmasher chains will arc from real → clones, helping clear. Adds: Continuous Amalgam spawns.

Boss Fight Survival Tips

Never stop moving. Keres locks on if you stand still for > 2 seconds.
Keep Quick Revive active — it will proc at least once during Phase 3.
Use Brain Rot ammo to convert a zombie as a decoy during the shield phase.
In squads, assign one player as "orb caller" — they call out which orb is next.
There is no timer on the fight — take your time and stay calm in Phase 3.
