- Created QA report identifying 5+ invalid dependencies:
1. Village Phase: S3-S6 shown as sequential but are parallel paths
2. Five Gnomes: Pearl not gated by gnome solutions
3. Phase 6/7 ordering: Shield from Minotaur Maze required BEFORE archer
4. Minotaur internal: S23/S24 and S20/S21 are parallel, not sequential
- Fixed main chart:
- Village: Show parallel paths converging (S3,S4,S5,S6 → P4)
- Five Gnomes: Pearl (S12) now independent, gnomes gate north path
- Phase 6/7: Restructured to show Must do Minotaur Maze FIRST to get Shield
- Added Phase 6b for return visit with Shield
- Renumbered all subsequent phases
