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

In Monster Hunter Rise, the hunt extends beyond monster slaying; 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. Unlike other hunts, waypoints won't pinpoint its location. Instead, rely on keen observation and a bit of luck. The Rime Beetle's telltale sign: snowballs it rolls around.

Focus your search on snowy areas within Iceshard Cliffs, specifically Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Keep an eye out for these snowballs, or follow any tracks in the snow.

Capturing the Rime Beetle

While you can manually collect it, capturing the Rime Beetle is the objective. Equip your Capture Net (accessible via L1/LB), aim with L2/LT, and wait for the orange targeting reticle. Fire when ready to add it to your collection and complete Samin's request. Manually collecting yields Frost Pods, useful for inflicting ice damage.
