Monster Hunter Rise: Rime Beetle Hunting Guide

In Monster Hunter Wilds, the hunt extends beyond monstrous encounters. A vast world awaits exploration, brimming with quests and discoveries. For those seeking the elusive Rime Beetle, this guide provides the necessary information.

How To Find the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds

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. The Rime Beetle's telltale sign? Perfectly formed snowballs it rolls around. Look for these in snowy areas.

Specifically, explore Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13 of the Iceshard Cliffs. Keep an eye out for these snowballs, and follow any tracks you might find in the snow. Spotting a Rime Beetle should then be relatively easy.

How To Capture the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds

Capturing, not collecting, is the goal. Equip your Capture Net (it should be in your inventory). Hold L1/LB, select the Capture Net (press Square/X to equip), and aim with L2/LT.

Wait for the targeting reticle to turn orange, then fire. Success adds the Rime Beetle to your collection, completing Samin's request. Alternatively, manually collecting yields Frost Pods for inflicting ice damage.
