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 diverse 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 are identifiable by their characteristic snowballs. Focus your search on snowy areas within Iceshard Cliffs, specifically Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Snow tracks can also guide your hunt.

Capturing the Rime Beetle

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