"Guide to Locating and Catching Rime Beetles in Monster Hunter Wilds"

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the thrill of the hunt extends far beyond battling terrifying creatures. The game's expansive world beckons hunters to explore and embark on a variety of quests. One such quest involves tracking down the elusive Rime Beetle. Here’s a detailed guide on how to find and capture this intriguing creature in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.

How To Find the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you've forgotten the hint provided by Samin, your journey to find the Rime Beetle will lead you to the Iceshard Cliffs region. Unfortunately, locating this creature isn't as simple as setting a waypoint on your map and letting your Seikret guide you to the spot.

To find the Rime Beetle, you'll need to rely on keen observation and a bit of luck. The good news is that once you know where to look, it becomes much easier. This endemic creature has a unique habit of rolling up balls of packed snow, making it quite visible in snowy areas.

In the Iceshard Cliffs, focus your search on Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. As you navigate these snow-covered zones, keep an eye out for the Rime Beetle's snowballs. If you spot tracks in the snow, follow them—they might lead you straight to your target.

How To Capture the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds

While you can collect the Rime Beetle using your hands or the Hook Slinger, the goal here is to capture it. To do this, equip your Capture Net, which should already be part of your gear. Hold L1/LB to access your equipment, scroll to the Capture Net, and press Square/X to equip it. Then, aim with L2/LT.

Once the Rime Beetle is in your crosshairs and it turns orange, fire away. Successfully capturing it will add the Rime Beetle to your collection and fulfill Samin's request. If you opt for the traditional method of grabbing the beetle, you'll obtain Frost Pods instead, which can be used to inflict ice damage on targets in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
