In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the hunt extends beyond monstrous creatures; a vast world awaits exploration, brimming with quests. For those seeking the elusive Rime Beetle, this guide provides the necessary information.
How To Find the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds
Following Samin's hint, your search for the Rime Beetle begins in the Iceshard Cliffs region. Unlike other hunts, simply setting a waypoint won't suffice. Instead, rely on keen observation and a bit of luck. These endemic creatures are easily spotted by their characteristic snowballs.
Focus your search on snowy areas within Iceshard Cliffs: Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Keep an eye out for these rolling snowballs, or follow any tracks you find in the snow.

While you can collect the Rime Beetle manually, capturing it is the objective. Equip your Capture Net (usually found in your equipment inventory; access it by holding L1/LB, selecting it with Square/X, and aiming with L2/LT).
Aim at the Rime Beetle until the reticle turns orange, then fire. This adds the Rime Beetle to your collection, completing Samin's request. Alternatively, manually collecting them yields Frost Pods, inflicting ice damage in combat.
