112% APB (11 notch) route

112% All Pantheon Bosses (11 notch) route

This pastebin is slightly outdated; I might update it eventually.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

Note: All Pantheon Bosses means that you must fight every boss that appears in the Pantheons, but not necessarily in the overworld (which means that we can skip Soul Tyrant and banish NKG).
Another note: This is the variant of the route that ends up with 11 (all) charm notches for the Pantheons — here is the link to the pastebin for the 10 notch route: https://pastebin.com/ixT0Hm2p
