107% AB route

107% All Bosses route

This pastebin is slightly outdated; I might update it eventually. In the meantime, May maintains an up-to-date pastebin here: https://pastebin.com/6qmm9gwv

Note: 107% requires all of the percentages in the game except for the ones added with the Godmaster DLC (Godtuner and the Pantheons). "All Bosses" really means all bosses on the patch where 107% is the max percentage, which is patch 1.3.1.5 (though it can be run on any later patch as well, as long as you don't interact with any Godmaster-only content). This essentially means that you must fight at least one of each of the bosses outside of Godhome, including MMC, GPZ, NKG, and the Radiance (the Gruz Mothers in Colo 1 count).
Another note: This is the (fastest) variant of the route that deletes the sacred bathroom break (and also fights GPZ earlier) — if you want to run one of the old routes for some reason, ping me on discord and I'll send you the pastebin :)
