Round% route

Round% route (for 1.4+ only)

Note: The goal of this category is to defeat every boss that is round. This includes False Knight, Soul Master, Soul Tyrant, Failed Champion, Elder Hu, Uumuu, Elder Hu, Galien, Watcher Knights, Dung Defender, White Defender, and Oblobbles. It does not include Marmu, God Tamer, Troupe Master Grimm, and Nightmare King Grimm, because they are not always, only some of the time. The category that includes these as well is called BecomeRound%.
