Following Samin's hint, your search for the Rime Beetle leads to the Iceshard Cliffs. Forget waypoints; keen eyes and a bit of luck are your allies. These endemic creatures create noticeable snowballs, easily spotted in snowy areas.

Focus your search on Iceshard Cliffs Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Explore the snow-covered terrain; the Rime Beetle's presence will be revealed. Snow tracks can also guide your search.

While you can collect it manually or with the Hook Slinger, capturing the Rime Beetle completes Samin's request. Equip your Capture Net (accessible via L1/LB, then Square/X). Aim (L2/LT) until the reticle turns orange, then fire. Success adds the Rime Beetle to your collection. Alternatively, direct collection yields Frost Pods for inflicting ice damage.

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