After the main quest of Monster Hunter Wilds, an NPC in the Wind Plains will assign you the task of finding a Sandwusel. Although it is a small creature, you will have trouble catching it. We will show you its location and the best strategy for catching it.
Who wants the Sandwusel? In the base camp of the Wind Plains, you will find the NPC “Samin” in the large tent, who will familiarize you with the quest “Samin’s Special Research Report”.
You need to catch a Sandwusel in the desert, but you’ll have to figure out the location and a strategy yourself – additionally, you need the little creature for the trophy “Caught a shooting star!”.
Since this little guy is very nimble and rarely found, we will show you the most important information to make your hunt easier.
Finding and catching Sandwusel
Where can I find the Sandwusel?
- You can find the Sandwusel in the Wind Plains in the large desert with plenty of space to run around.
- The best area is Area 13: Oasis.
- It is important that the Sandwusel only spawns at night and during fullness, but it is never guaranteed.
- Use the resting function in your field or base camp to adjust the time of day – this feature costs you 300 guild points.
Tip for the hunt: If the Sandwusel does not spawn despite being night and full, try setting the evening as the time and wait until night falls. It may be that directly setting night prevents the little creature from spawning.
How do I catch the Sandwusel?
- To catch the Sandwusel, you need the trapping net, but it is not that simple, as the creature runs away from you quickly.
- You can follow the Sandwusel with your Saikrii and try to catch it while running, but this can be quite challenging.
- Therefore, we recommend using sound bombs to temporarily incapacitate the creature. The Ghillie Mantle can also be helpful, as it hides you.
When the Wusel stands still, you only need to take out your trapping net and shoot at the creature to catch it. In addition to the catch, you will also receive the achievement “Caught a shooting star!”.
