Getting All Zodiac Star Fragments in Animal Crossing New Horizons

First off, Star Fragments and Large Star Fragments are materials that you can obtain to craft DIY Recipes obtained from Celeste. How this works is that whenever there’s a meteor shower on your island, you can wish on a shooting star multiple times, and you’ll be able to dig up Fragments on your beach the next morning.

Meteor Showers

Meteor showers in Animal Crossing New Horizons are completely random, and you’ll just have to wait till your villagers mention to you that one is going to happen in the evening. During the daily announcement section, Isabelle will mention that a meteor shower is set to happen in the evening, letting you know to look out for that.

In addition to that, as you’re wandering around your island, your residents might also mention it to you in conversation.

At night, pan your camera up to the sky with the right stick to look out for shooting stars. Whenever it flashes brightly in the sky, press the A button to make a wish.

The more wishes you make, the more likely you’ll be able to get a large number of Star Fragments the next day. Star Fragments are the most common material, Large Star Fragments are rarer, and Zodiac Star Fragments are the most valuable ones.
