Why did checking a boss not open a route?
Tracker checkmarks are personal checklist records. Route uses separately confirmed inventory, learned abilities and opened stages. Confirm the actual key or ability after checking it in your game.
What does condition reference mean?
That stage has useful source-supported directions, but its complete approach prerequisites are not established. Read the action and source before travelling; a reference is not a guaranteed reachable route.
Does the board find a shortest route?
It checks the selected gate’s conditions. It does not infer room coordinates, distances, your map position or an optimal path.
