FAQ
Does this page include every Kowakujō room?
It prioritizes rooms that matter for routes, quests, puzzle calls, parts, perks, songs, and boss preparation.
Why use text locations instead of a map image?
Text loads fast on mobile, avoids copying protected map screenshots, and lets players search area names while in a run.
