*It is possible to acquire all of the Sunspear bounties before killing any related foe, resulting in about 1,300 [[Sunspear rank|Sunspear points]] for clearing the area. Start from the [[Jahai Bluffs]] exit in the north and work through the shrines in a counterclockwise direction until arriving the [[Mandragor Hunt]] shrine at the exit into [[Marga Coast]]. Turn southeast and head towards the [[Monster Hunt]] shrine before turning back to the Yohlon Haven exit for the [[Insect Hunt]] bounty.
*The exit into [[Sunspear Sanctuary]] is blocked until the completion of [[Hunted!]]
