Route Plan

Use the floor-by-floor puzzle record to confirm Cyrus, the three guardian boulders, and Giratina are complete; if Giratina was defeated, reserve the Turnback Cave rematch for post-game.

  • This reference section deliberately repeats the required Distortion World route under the phase name requested for the guide; the story-clear route occurs before Volkner.
