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

Locate the elusive Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds: A Comprehensive Guide

Monster Hunter Wilds offers a vast world beyond monster hunting. This guide focuses on locating and capturing the Rime Beetle, a crucial element in completing certain quests.

Finding the Rime Beetle

Following Samin's hint, your search begins in the Iceshard Cliffs region. Unlike other quests, waypoints won't lead you directly to the Rime Beetle. Instead, rely on keen observation and a bit of luck. These creatures create distinctive snowballs, easily spotted in snowy areas.

Focus your search on Iceshard Cliffs Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Keep an eye out for these snow formations and follow any visible tracks in the snow.

Capturing the Rime Beetle

While you can collect the Rime Beetle manually, capturing it is the quest objective. Equip your Capture Net (accessible via L1/LB), aim with L2/LT, and wait for the orange targeting indicator. Fire the net to successfully capture the Rime Beetle, completing Samin's request. Alternatively, direct collection yields Frost Pods for inflicting ice damage.

This concludes our guide to finding and capturing Rime Beetles in Monster Hunter Wilds. Check The Escapist for further game tips and information.
