Humanoid robots can fall on slopes, gravel, and uneven ground in unstructured environments. We target integrated fall recovery and locomotion: rebuilding balance from a fallen state using proprioception alone and resuming velocity-commanded walking at the fall site. Prior methods often stop at quasi-static rise, neglect the post-fall ground-contact phase, or, when trained on mixed terrains without separating recovery and locomotion phases or per-surface constraints, collapse to a single compromise get-up across surfaces. We propose Phase--Terrain Decoupled Learning (PTDL), which decouples training supervision along phase and terrain axes while deploying one proprioceptive policy. On the phase axis, projected-gravity-gated dual motion-prior discriminators and a probe-to-walk transition link post-fall recovery to commanded walking. On the terrain axis, terrain-stratified recovery shaping assigns surface-specific training supervision on flat ground, gravel, and slopes; terrain labels are training-only and withheld from policy observations, enabling implicit post-fall strategy selection at deployment. We validate PTDL on a 29-DoF Unitree G1 across flat ground, gravel, and slopes up to 20 degrees in simulation and on hardware, achieving stable cross-terrain recovery, smooth recovery-to-locomotion transitions, and differentiated post-fall rise behaviors under one deployed policy.
