"Guide: Capturing Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds"

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the thrill of the hunt extends beyond battling fearsome creatures. The game's expansive world is brimming with opportunities for exploration and a variety of quests to tackle. For those on the quest for the elusive Rime Beetle, here’s a comprehensive guide to help you locate and capture this intriguing creature.

How To Find the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you've forgotten Samin's hint, your journey to find the Rime Beetle leads you to the Iceshard Cliffs region. Unfortunately, you won't find it by simply setting a waypoint; instead, you'll need keen eyes and a bit of luck. The Rime Beetle is an endemic creature that rolls up balls of packed snow, making it easier to spot in snowy areas.

Head to Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13 within the Iceshard Cliffs. As you explore these snow-covered zones, keep an eye out for the Rime Beetle. If you notice tracks in the snow, follow them—they might lead you to your target. With a bit of patience and exploration, you'll spot the Rime Beetle soon enough.
