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. However, simply setting a waypoint won't suffice; keen observation and a bit of luck are required. These endemic creatures create distinctive snowballs, easily spotted amidst snowy landscapes.

Focus your search on Iceshard Cliffs Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Explore the snow-covered areas; the Rime Beetle's characteristic snowballs, or even its tracks, will reveal its location.

How To Capture the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds

While you can manually collect the Rime Beetle, capturing it is the objective. Equip your Capture Net (usually readily available in your inventory—access it by holding L1/LB, selecting it with Square/X, and aiming with L2/LT).

Aim at the Rime Beetle until the targeting reticule turns orange, then fire. This adds the Rime Beetle to your collection, completing Samin's request. Alternatively, manually collecting them yields Frost Pods, useful for inflicting ice damage.

This concludes your guide to locating and capturing Rime Beetles in Monster Hunter Wilds. Check The Escapist for more game tips and information.
