Following Samin's clue, your search begins in the Iceshard Cliffs region. Unlike other quests, waypoints won't lead you directly to the Rime Beetle. Instead, rely on keen observation and a bit of luck. These creatures are easily spotted by their characteristic snowballs.

Focus your search on snowy areas within Iceshard Cliffs, specifically Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Look for rolling snowballs or follow any visible tracks in the snow.

Capturing the Rime Beetle

While you can manually collect the Rime Beetle, capturing it is necessary to complete Samin's request. Equip your Capture Net (accessible via L1/LB), aim (L2/LT), and wait for the targeting reticle to turn orange before firing. Successful capture adds the Rime Beetle to your collection and completes the quest. Direct collection yields Frost Pods, useful for inflicting ice damage.

This guide covers finding and capturing Rime Beetles in Monster Hunter Wilds. Check The Escapist for more game tips and information.

Monster Hunter Wilds is available now on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
