GS2 Max% Route Idea

Hypothetical GS2 Max% Route

INDRA-OSENIA

Kandorean Temple
Breath
Reverse Dehkan (w/ Zagan)
King Scorpion

So far everything is the same as any% except getting Zagan (which could realistically be gotten later if you want to use the any% RNG methods)

GONDOWAN

Gondowan Skip
Naribwe
Kibombo Mountains
Gabomba Statue
Madra warp in Kibombo Mountains
Gondowan Passage for djinn/mushroom (then sanctum warp)

You now have some options, here's what I think will be fastest

EASTERN SEA Pt1

Boat
Apojii Islands
Aqua Rock
Yallam - Decision: Flower now or with teleport (probably with TP to use avoid)
Enter Garoh (note: not visiting E Tundaria yet)
Airs Rock (don't forget flora)
Sanctum warp to Garoh, get Ether
Mikasalla-Maegera-Sour
E Tundaria (begin trading sequence)
Tundaria Tower (don't forget the djinn!)

EASTERN SEA Pt2

Madra Warp/Sanctum Warp in Madra
Alhafra - Decision: Get trainers whip? Zetonegi strats!
Shrine of the Sea God
Gabomba 2 (Mud)
Champa (set sanctum warp point)
SE Angara Islet (trading sequence, Possible after Avimander? gotta time it)
Gaia Rock - Decision: Dancing Idol now or later? Probably later.
Ankhol Ruins
Avimander

Problem: Need to get Tremor Bit before Ancient Lemuria to get the Djinn there. However, Moloch is inaccessible until you defeat Briggs. At present there isn't a nice time to go do Madra Catacombs and get both. The fastest solution, in my opinion, is to teleport to Lemuria later on in the game and get the Djinn then. The time it takes to teleport is shorter than any method I could conceive.

LEMURIA

Poseidon - I'm almost certain Ulysses won't save time here since the fight is already very short, and the time it takes to get Ulysses (in terms of encounters) is almost surely going to be longer than any time save during the fight. Plus the time save from the Champa warp!

Lemuria! Fountain stuff.
N Osenia Islet (trading sequence, other possible times to do this; before lemuria (another lucky medal) or in post game)
West Indra Islet (trading sequence, only if doing N Osenia after Lemuria)

WESRTERN SEA

Remark 1: Not a good time to do Mikasalla, no benefit from Sour since serpent is dead and it's a long journey. Plus the boat will warp to the Eastern sea if you sanctum warp!

Remark 2: Probably less optimised than the Eastern sea part!

Chill (southern tip of Gondowan)
Core (West of Contigo, i.e. sail around the West coast of Atteka instead of East. Needs to be timed against getting Core immediately before the SW Atteka djinn)
Hesperia Settlement (using the rivers to avoid encounters, most likely)
Shaman Village (Early Aroma?)
Contigo (Focus on using PP with Felix prior to this)
Early Iris
Anemos Inner Sanctum (save crawl)
Jupiter Lighthouse

REUNINON

Remark: The only additional thing one must do in 100% over Max% happens now; use force on the stump to collect the djinn.

Coatlique
Magma Rock
Loho
Haures (Sanctum warp?)
Petra
Kalt Island
Northern Reaches
Mars Lighthouse
Defeat Flame Dragons

TELEPORT MADNESS

Remark: Teleport segments can really be done in any order you like, except Lemuria must be after Madra and superbosses probably last! Additionally, probably should be routed to minimise cursor movement lol

Teleport 1: Shaman Village
Trial Road - Gasp
Village Cave - Eddy

Teleport 2: Contigo
(Core? Gotta time this against earlier strats)
SW Atteka - Jupiter Djinn

Teleport 3: Madra
Madra Catacombs - Tremor bit, Moloch
(Mikasalla block if you haven't done it already)

Teleport 4: Lemuria
Ancient Lemuria - Rime

Teleport 5: Yallam
Taopo Swamp - Flower

Teleport 6: Apojii Islands
Apojii Islands - Haze
Sea of Time Islet - Serac/Sentinel (Save crawl through the dungeon?)
Izumo set Sanctum warp point
Gaia Rock 2: Climb to the top to get Dancing Idol, Sanctum warp
Izumo Catacombs - Ulysses
Treasure Isle - Gale + Venus Djinn + Star Magician

Teleport 7: Alhafra
(Yampi Desert: Trainers whip?)
Yampi Desert Cave: Crystal + Valukar

Donation Incentives! Teleport 8: Contigo - Fight Dullahan

BEAT THE GAME

Teleport to Prox
Finish Mars Lighthouse
Doom Dragon
G fucking G
