In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the adventure extends beyond hunting terrifying creatures. The vast open world is brimming with exploration opportunities and a variety of quests to tackle. For those on the quest to find the Rime Beetle in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, here's a comprehensive guide to help you on your journey.
How to Find the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds
If you missed Samin's hint, your journey to find the Rime Beetle will lead you to the Iceshard Cliffs region. Unfortunately, it's not as simple as setting a waypoint and letting your Seikret guide you directly to the spot.
To locate the Rime Beetle, you'll need to rely on your keen observation and a bit of luck. Fortunately, once you know where to look, it becomes much easier. This endemic creature is known for rolling up balls of packed snow, making it distinguishable in snowy areas.
Head to the Iceshard Cliffs and focus your search on Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. As you move through these snow-covered zones, keep an eye out for the Rime Beetle's characteristic snowballs. Additionally, if you spot tracks in the snow, follow them; they might lead you to your target.

How to Capture the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds
While you can collect the Rime Beetle manually or with the Hook Slinger, capturing it requires a different approach. To capture the Rime Beetle, equip your Capture Net, which should be readily available in your gear. Press and hold L1/LB to cycle through your equipment until you reach the Capture Net, then press Square/X to equip it. Aim using L2/LT, and once the Rime Beetle is within your crosshairs and turns orange, fire to capture it. This action will add the Rime Beetle to your collection and fulfill Samin's request.
If you choose to gather Rime Beetles the traditional way, you'll obtain Frost Pods, which are useful for inflicting ice damage on your targets in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
