There are a couple of things you need to know about the Sandstar before you go out and chase after it.
How to Capture the Sandstar in MH Wilds
Once you’re in the perfect position to catch the little sucker, equip your Capture Net by scrolling through the item bar with L1/LB. Then, press Square/X to Equip it. Then, shoot the net at the monster with R2/RT. Remember that you can shoot the net while riding on your Seikret, so make use of that if you feel like the Sandstar is not slowing down.
If you’re having trouble spotting them in the desert areas, try sleeping and returning to the area later.
When the Sandstar is captured, players will earn the ‘I Caught a Shooting Star’ trophy/achievement.
