List of prerequisite quests for bosses?

Title says all. What are the few prerequisite quests I should be doing to get end-game items from bosses?
If listed, can you guys tell me how to do them and how easy they are? lol

I am assuming they are easy now since horntail was just click and go in now (no more dreaded hunting for transformation potions)

@pentakiruuu: Not a bad list but Von Leon is definitely worth doing, one of the highest droprates of cubes in game right now.

@mrpirate: Lol the key isn't even a for sure drop.
The amount of time it takes to do it is painful.

@pentakiruuu: princess no is only worth it for DS because of the extra DF it gives

@arayuks: Mb I forgot about the cubes, the recipes he drops in bulk suck tho.

@pentakiruuu: Ranmmaru has no prequests. But I have no idea why you said its not worth doing it, since it has pretty high cube drop rate(both norms n madman) and high exp for kill (esp madman).

*Gollux - Crimsonheart questline > Gollux quest line
*Root Abyss - Accept quest from lightbulb and do short intro
Pink Bean - Temple of time > Pink bean (TEMPLE OF TIME NEEDED FOR 5TH JOB)
*Arkarium - Complete Silent crusade chapter 2 ( Only worth for = Ark has a chance to drop primal essence)
*Horntail - Accept quest from lightbulb and make sure you keep the certificate they give you (It's what lets you enter)
*Magnus - (Easy) Accept magnus simulator quest/ (Normal/Hard) Heliseum Questline I think? (Can trade in hard magnus coins for tyrant equipment)
*Hilla - Nothing (Hard hilla for endgame, EXP sucks but unless you want the soul)
*(Chaos)Zakum - Zakum helmet gives charm and chaos zakum is difficult but rewards are ok.
Ursus - Nothing, nor is it worth doing.
(*Good for Cubes and EXP) Ranmaru - Accept quest from lightbulb or nothing (Not sure)
Princess No - Ayame Quest line (start from lightbulb) *Note, Princess no isn't worth doing because the rewards are mediocre and you have to grind an annoying quest for the key every time
Von leon - Annoying lion king's castle questline (Not a endgame boss IMO)

NOTE - Important and worth doing bosses will be marked with a *

Most of them are really prequests to fight the boss itself regardless of difficulty. A lot of them are just tedious rather than hard to do.

They include:
Gollux prequests (which are the Tynerum quests; there should be a lightbulb notification; else you can access it via the Dimensional Mirror)
Temple of Time quests (for Pink Bean - 100% needed for 5th job)
Commerci questline until when you can access trading (and even when you do get to trade, it's going to take a while to get that end-game gear there)
Chaos Root Abyss (need 10 of each RA boss - or just buy the equips yourself)
Ghost Ship Exorcist quest (for Badge - Singapore)
Magnus prequests (via Heliseum)

I'm sorta hoping they nerfed the Gollux preqeusts at some point... I'm dreading doing them on my new main .n.
Otherwise Pink Bean has a long tedious one. Though it's required now to progress in the game..
