How To Find the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you've forgotten the hint provided by Samin, your journey to find the Rime Beetle leads you to the Iceshard Cliffs region. Unlike setting a simple waypoint, locating this creature requires keen observation and a bit of luck. The Rime Beetle is known for rolling up balls of packed snow, making it easier to spot in snowy areas.

In the Iceshard Cliffs, focus your search on Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. As you traverse these snow-covered zones, keep an eye out for the distinctive snowballs. Additionally, if you notice tracks in the snow, follow them—they might lead you straight to a Rime Beetle.
