In Monster Hunter Wilds, the hunt extends beyond monstrous encounters. A vast world awaits exploration, brimming with quests and challenges. For those seeking the elusive Rime Beetle, this guide provides the necessary information.
How To Find the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds
If Samin's hint escapes you, your journey for the Rime Beetle leads to the Iceshard Cliffs. Forget waypoints; this hunt relies on keen observation and a touch of luck. These endemic creatures are easily spotted by their characteristic snowballs. Therefore, focus your search on snowy areas.
Specifically, explore Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13 within the Iceshard Cliffs. Keep an eye out for the rolling snowballs, and follow any tracks you may find in the snow. The Rime Beetle will reveal itself with a little patience.
How To Capture the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds
While you can collect the Rime Beetle manually or with the Hook Slinger, capturing it is the objective. Equip your Capture Net (it should be in your inventory). Hold L1/LB, select the Capture Net (Square/X), and aim with L2/LT.
When the Rime Beetle's icon turns orange, fire your net. This adds the Rime Beetle to your collection, completing Samin's request. Alternatively, direct collection yields Frost Pods, useful 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.
