Collectible 28: Locust Terminal
The collectible information from the Locust Terminal is in the same room where you have to activate a terminal to search for Dom's wife, Maria. After you clear out the area of the Locust (where they beam a spotlight down on you), you can make your way up some small steps to the left, here you will find two terminals, one to the right and one to the left of the room. Be sure to activate the terminal to the right first, as this is the terminal that contains the collectible. After doing so, go to the left terminal to trigger a cutscene of Dom's search for his wife.

Collectible 29: Prisoner's Journal
After passing the first terminal in this chapter and killing or letting the patrolling enemies pass by, proceed forward to the second terminal and you will find the Prisoner's Journal to the left by two large crates that are on wheels.

Collectible 30: Locust Jailor Document
As you start the Hornet's Nest chapter, head down the steps to the right, then take another right down the narrow corridor and you will find the Locust Jailor Document to your left.
Collectible 31: Human Finger Necklace
In the part where you fight Drones and Reavers, where cover is controlled by a switch on either side, after defeating them, two Grinders will make an appearance. After destroying them charge in and head left, continue upwards and the entrances will start to close. Ignore the first entrance that is closing as you head up the steps, instead run right over the bridge and through the closing entrance - don't hang about. In here you will find the Human Finger Necklace to your right as you enter, grab this first before using the switch to open an exit, also in here is a Troika Turret that is conveniently placed by this exit.
Chpt 4: No Turning Back (2 Collectibles)
Collectible 32: Locust Calendar
You start the chapter on a moving cart, getting attacked by Reavers and Drones, eliminate the threat continuing on-wards taking care of any targets along the way. Another cart will come along that you have to bail into to continue. Once you're out of the carts and in the building, head left and following on from the cutscene proceed all the way up the spiral stairs. Up here you can collect the Locust Calendar, it's the device that looks similar to a terminal, with orange lights on it.
Collectible 33: Locust Defensive Plans
After the section where you have a choice between taking the Troika Turret down on a lift or going in on-foot clearing out the three floors, you will shortly after come to a balcony overlooking the Locust below. Make your way left down the steps and pull a lever, this will open up a bridge across the way which you can access by making your way back up top. Head across the bridge and into the room, there's another lever inside here to retract the Locust's cover. At the far end of this room near the lever is an ammo box and the Locust Defensive Plans collectible.
Chpt 5: The Best-Laid Plans (2 Collectibles)
Collectible 34: Locust Invasion Map
After killing all Locust up in the windows as you get ambushed, make your way around the outside of the Queen's Palace. After killing more Locust and continuing on, a lift will arise with enemies, kill them, but before using the lift continue forwards sticking close to the wall on the right, just in front of the second sealed door from the lift you will find the Locust Invasion Map.
Collectible 35: Trinity of Worms
As you enter the Palace you will walk by caged-up Bloodmounts and pull a lever giving you the choice to take the top route and provide support below, or go in and honker down on foot below. You can get the collectible either way, though the quickest is to take the top route as you can run right around until you get to the other steps, taking out the Grinder up there, and proceed down the opposite end to find the Trinity of Worms collectible at the bottom of these steps.
Perhaps the simplest and longest method is to just clear out all enemies, regardless of whether you've taken the top or bottom route, then regroup with the rest of your squad and make your way outside. Here you will see a spiral staircase that leads down, ignore this for the moment and turn around entering back the way you came out, and head left up the stairs. Roadie run all the way along up the top until you start to come back down the steps, the Trinity of Worms can be collected from the floor just at the bottom of these steps.
Chapter 6: Royal Inquisition (1 Collectible)
Collectible 36: Locust Tablets
There's a cutscene where The Cole Train runs his mouth in a memorable way before the gameplay kicks-in for this chapter, no doubt getting some unwanted attention for Delta Squad. As you start the chapter head out the door in front and turn left, run right down and you will find the Locust Tablets located in between the last two pillars near the left side of the wall.
