The Hunt Map: https://thehuntmap.com/ provides an awesome set of resources for Hunt, going far beyond a standard map. While it contains basics like spawn points, a grid, and location boundaries, it ALSO contains some great details. There are markers you can place to determine serpent radius, dark sight width, Red Glow on bosses, and much more.

No resource list would be complete without the game’s wiki. This is a resource I frequently check when I need some quick knowledge on a trait or boss, or just want to have some light reading to gain more insight on a specific game mechanic or item.
