How To Find the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds

Following Samin's hint, your search for the Rime Beetle leads to the Iceshard Cliffs. Unlike a simple waypoint, locating this creature requires keen observation and a bit of luck. Look for the telltale sign: snowballs! The Rime Beetle's habit of rolling these makes it easier to spot amidst the snowy landscape.

Focus your search on Iceshard Cliffs Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Explore the snow-covered areas carefully; you may even find tracks to follow.

While you can collect it manually or with the Hook Slinger, capturing the Rime Beetle requires your Capture Net. Equip it (it should be in your inventory; hold L1/LB and select it with Square/X), aim with L2/LT, wait for the orange targeting reticle, and fire. This adds the Rime Beetle to your collection, completing Samin's request. Alternatively, direct collection yields Frost Pods for inflicting ice damage.
