Following Samin's hint, your search begins in the Iceshard Cliffs region. Forget waypoints; this hunt relies on keen observation and a bit of luck. Rime Beetles are easily spotted by the snowballs they roll around. Focus your search on snowy areas within Iceshard Cliffs, specifically Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Look for telltale tracks in the snow to aid your search.

While you can collect Rime Beetles manually, capturing them is the objective. Equip your Capture Net (usually readily available). Aim with L2/LT, wait for the orange targeting reticule, and fire (Square/X). A successful capture adds the Rime Beetle to your collection, completing Samin's request. Alternatively, manually collecting them 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.
