If you've forgotten Samin's hint, your journey to find the Rime Beetle leads you to the Iceshard Cliffs region. Unlike setting a simple waypoint and letting your Seikret guide you, discovering a Rime Beetle requires keen observation and a bit of luck. Fortunately, once you know the trick, it's not as challenging as it sounds. These unique creatures enjoy rolling up balls of packed snow, making them visible in snowy areas.

Head to the Iceshard Cliffs and focus your search in Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. As you explore these snow-covered zones, keep an eye out for the telltale snowballs. If you spot tracks in the snow, follow them—they might lead you straight to a Rime Beetle.

Capturing the Rime Beetle requires more than just picking it up. You'll need to equip your Capture Net, which should already be part of your gear. To equip it, hold L1/LB and scroll to the Capture Net, then press Square/X. Aim with L2/LT, ensuring the Rime Beetle is in your crosshairs. Once it turns orange, fire the net to capture it, fulfilling Samin's request and adding it to your collection. Alternatively, grabbing the beetle manually will reward you with Frost Pods, useful for inflicting ice damage on your targets in *Monster Hunter Wilds*.
