Existing Mbed TLS, tiny-AES-c, FieldHarvest/Astera Loader, SharpPluginLoader, libc++/libc++abi, MinGW, and MHWorldData notices are retained separately in this folder. Upstream terms apply to those components. Credit does not override restrictions or establish permission for sources without a clear reuse license.

Additional game icon source: https://github.com/lazywalker/zukan-assets (MHWI processed Fandom icons). Original imagery belongs to Capcom and respective rights holders.

Stage 32 additions:
Fextralife contributors: geographic map screenshots and linked originals. Original game artwork remains with CAPCOM and respective rights holders.
Kiranico: guide/catalog reference links. Gathering Hall Studios / MHWorldData: expanded offline equipment/skill/recipe records under the retained project notices.
Clarity 1.8 contributors: supplied item/skill description comparison; only independently confirmed source hints adopted.


Stage 38–42 map, validation, and optional-mod references

Included map layers: Hunterpedia reference images (PNG conversion; transparent outer margin
cropped only for the two unpinned overviews). Original game artwork is attributed to Capcom.
Guiding Lands and Hoarfrost Reach marker positions match the published map layer coordinate
space. They are published reference positions, not independently surveyed in-game coordinates.
The source does not provide tactical pin coordinates for Castle Schrade or Secluded Valley.
