Environmental Creatures Capture Table
| 名稱 | 外觀條件 | 捕獲方法 |
|---|---|---|
| 沙野流星 | 豐饒期/荒蕪期的夜晚 | 音爆彈有效，隱身衣裝無效 |
Sand Star's Spawn Locations
The Sand Star refreshes its locations between Region 11 to Region 16 in the Wasteland. It has been confirmed to appear during both the Fertile and Barren periods at night. It is advisable to check the time in advance through quests or environmental cycles.
Tips for Capturing the Sand Star
Be mindful that even if you are equipped with a camouflage outfit, you will still trigger the Sand Star's escape mechanism. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain a safe distance or use ranged weapons/traps for capturing and controlling it.
Recommended Strategy
Stand at a safe distance and use a launcher to throw Sound Bombs. When it shows signs of fright, quickly switch to a capture net to capture it. Be cautious, as this process needs to be swift; otherwise, if the switch from the Sound Bomb to the capture net is too slow, the frightened state will be released, allowing it to escape.
How to Obtain Sound Bombs
Sound Bombs can be obtained by using a grappling hook launcher on the Exploding Wing Dragon. This creature conveniently also appears in the air above the areas where the Sand Star spawns.
Finding Sandstar Meteor in Monster Hunter Wilds
If you can't find Sandstar Meteor or accidentally let it escape, you can adjust the time to search for it again. You can freely change the time by resting at the camp, but each rest will cost guild points. There are multiple simple camp setup locations near the Sandstar Meteor's appearance site, so it's recommended to build a simple camp in advance for easier exploration. Alternatively, you can adjust the time through free quests or idle play if you prefer not to consume guild points.
Black Wind Slasher
Location: Appears in Area 8 of the Abyssal Sandy Plains
Capture Method
Use Stealth Gear:
The Black Wind Slasher can be found in areas 8 and 10 of the Abyssal Sandy Plains. It will flee once you get close, so it's recommended to equip stealth gear beforehand. Then, slowly approach it and use a capture net at a suitable distance.
Egg-Stocked Bowfin Fish
The Egg-Stocked Bowfin Fish can be found in specific locations including the Abyssal Sand Plains in area 13; the Crimson Forest Base Camp, areas 1, 12, and 17; the Oil Flow Valley in area 12; the Ice Mist Cliff in area 1; and the Dragon Ruins in area 8. It is recommended to visit the fishing point at the Ice Mist Cliff in area 1 during the Bountiful season for better catches. Other fishing spots can be referenced below.
Capture Method
To capture the Egg-Stocked Bowfin Fish, it is best to go to the fishing spot in area 1 of the Ice Mist Cliff. Setting up a simple campsite nearby can make the movement from other maps much easier. If you do not encounter the fish immediately, refreshing the map is relatively straightforward. It is advisable to change the environment to the Bountiful season beforehand. Although this fish can appear in any environmental state, it has been confirmed that, similar to other fish species, it is more likely to be spotted during the Bountiful season. The characteristic feature of this fish is its reddish color.
Tips for Catching the Egg-laden Bowfin
When fishing for the Egg-laden Bowfin, it is recommended to use the Emerald Lure. Slowly move the left joystick up and down (or use the W/S keys on the keyboard) to attract the fish. Do not press too quickly, as the fish will escape. If your goal is simply to catch the Egg-laden Bowfin, using a capture net is more suitable. However, this method will not count as "catching" the fish, and you will not be able to complete the associated "fishing" quest.
If you are having trouble catching it for an extended period, consider trying the following methods:
- Change the bait;
- Cast slightly in front of the fish;
- Wiggle the lure 1-2 times to attract the fish.
Fishing Locations for the Egg-laden Bowfin
The Egg-laden Bowfin can also be found in other maps. Below are the fishing spots available in various regions.
