Monster Hunter Wilds features a silver trophy/achievement that requires the player to “capture a creature in the desert that shines like a shooting star.”
The name of the creature we need to capture is the Sandstar. It resembles a mix of a rat and a rabbit with a blue color and is extremely fast. Just like the Giant Squid, it has a fixed spawn and specific conditions to appear.
How to capture the “Shooting Star”
The Sandstar always spawn near the Oasis (Area 13) in the Plains region. It only appears at Night. Go to the Oasis tent and sleep. Set the condition to “Plenty” to increase the spawn rate. Be aware that the spawn is random, so, if he doesn’t spawn at night, fast travel to another region and come back.
The creature spawns in the following location:
It is HIGHLY recommended that you equip a Screamer Pod. The Sandstar is extremely fast and it will be almost impossible to capture it without using the Screamer Pod to stun it. After you stun the creature, throw the capture net and the trophy will pop.
The description of the Sandstar says the following:
“Nocturnal desert creatures with pale, luminescent fur that is believed to be the result of the insects they primarily feed on. Highly vigilant, they use their excellent hearing to detect approaching threats and flee, so trying to chase one down is the wrong approach. You’ll have a far easier time catching one if you use a sonic bomb to disrupt its hearing.“
The Sandstar isn’t the only creature you can capture in Monster Hunter Wilds. The game has more than 50 endemic creatures. You can also use the fishing pole to catch whoppers, giant fishes. You can read our guide for whoppers here.
