In Monster Hunter Wilds, the thrill of the hunt extends beyond battling fearsome beasts. The expansive world invites adventurers to explore and engage in various quests, including the pursuit of the elusive Rime Beetle. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to find and capture this intriguing creature.
How to Find the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds
To locate the Rime Beetle, head to the Iceshard Cliffs region. Unlike setting a waypoint and letting your Seikret guide you, finding this beetle requires keen observation and a bit of luck. The Rime Beetle is known for rolling up balls of packed snow, making it easier to spot in snowy areas.
Focus your search in Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13 of the Iceshard Cliffs. As you traverse these snow-covered zones, keep an eye out for the distinctive snowballs. Additionally, if you notice tracks in the snow, follow them—they might lead you straight to a Rime Beetle.

Capturing the Rime Beetle involves using the Capture Net, which should already be part of your equipment. To equip it, hold L1/LB and scroll to the Capture Net, then press Square/X. Aim with L2/LT, and when the Rime Beetle is within your crosshairs and turns orange, fire to capture it. Successfully capturing the beetle will add it to your collection and fulfill Samin's request.
