How To Find and Capture a Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds

In Monster Hunter Wilds, the hunt extends beyond monstrous creatures; a vast world awaits exploration, brimming with quests. This guide focuses on locating and capturing the elusive Rime Beetle.

Locating the Rime Beetle

Following Samin's clue, your search begins in the Iceshard Cliffs. Forget waypoints; keen observation is key. Rime Beetles create distinctive snowballs, easily spotted in snowy areas.

Focus your search on Iceshard Cliffs Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Scan the snow-covered terrain; snow tracks can also guide you.

Capturing the Rime Beetle

Capture, not collection, is the goal. Equip your Capture Net (accessible via L1/LB; select with Square/X). Aim (L2/LT) until the reticle turns orange, then fire. Success adds the Rime Beetle to your collection, completing Samin's request. Direct collection yields Frost Pods for inflicting ice damage.
