Rime beetles<\/strong> are a kind of endemic life in Monster Hunter Wilds<\/a><\/em>. You\u2019ll need to capture<\/a> them as part of a side quest, \u201cSamin\u2019s Research Report (Cont.),\u201d <\/strong>for Samin at the Windward Plains base camp.<\/p>\n

This is fourth side quest in Dareel and Samin\u2019s ongoing feud \u2014 you\u2019ve already caught a tracktail lizard<\/a>, dapperwing<\/a>, and an ember rufflizard<\/a>. Now, you need to find rime beetles.<\/p>\n

Our Monster Hunter Wilds <\/em>guide will tell you where to find rime beetles<\/strong> and how to catch them.<\/p>\n

\n

Where to find rime beetles in Monster Hunter Wilds<\/h2>\n

\"Monster<\/p>\n

To find rime beetles, you\u2019ll have to head to the Iceshard Cliffs<\/strong>. Unlock most of the other endemic life you\u2019re after, you can actually find these in the map\u2019s menu. Open your map and hit right on the D-pad two times. Scroll through the list until you find rime beetles<\/strong>. That will let you set a waypoint straight to them.<\/p>\n

Area 2 <\/strong>is a good place to start. You can usually find a couple of them rolling their snowballs around the open area. The closest pop-up camp<\/a> is Area 1: Icy Shore<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

How to catch a rime beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds<\/h2>\n

\"Monster<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve spotted a rime beetle, all that\u2019s left is to capture them. Equip your capture net<\/a><\/strong> either from the item bar or from your Essential Items radial menu.<\/p>\n

With the new rectangle reticle, approach the beetle (they\u2019re not particularly skittish) until the reticle turns yellow-orange and fire it. Just make sure you hit L2\/LT and not the usual Square\/X.<\/p>\n

With the quest complete, you\u2019ll have to wait a bit to get the next side quest in the series, \u201cDareel\u2019s Special Research Report,\u201d which has you track down a gillopod<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

To also help you understand Monster Hunter Wilds<\/em>, we explain how to capture monsters<\/a>, how to change weapons<\/a>, provide some Seikret tips<\/a>, and teach you how fishing<\/a> and layered armor<\/a> works.<\/p>\n
