What do the node labels mean?

Read the node labels to identify the task at each stop. The help legend contains the labels below; its nearby text also says eight kinds, so that number should not be used as a complete count.

How do you reach the next stop?

Trace the connection from the marker for your current position to the next reachable stop. Choose one branch and resolve it before proceeding. A nearby icon without a connection is not a reachable destination.

The help says you cannot go back. If your intended shop is on a different branch, plan around the remaining connected stops rather than expecting to cross between branches.

What changes at an act boss?

The help describes the dark tower at the top of an act as its boss. Winning opens the next act and a new map. A full map for every act and a precise Legendary or League access route have not been documented here.

Why can you already see later stops?

Players in the supplied Discord conversation reported seeing beyond the next row on desktop, including night mode. Rais then said the route-preview relic had been removed because it did nothing. The discussion does not establish identical visibility on every device or build.

Visible later nodes still do not mean you can select them: follow the connections from your current stop. If the top gym-type tracker disagrees with the encounter, read the encounter itself before choosing your team. One player reported Water in the tracker but a Rock gym; this is an unverified display report, not a fixed gym order.
