Rime Beetle Hunting Guide: Tips for Monster Hunter Wilds

In *Monster Hunter Wilds*, the thrill of the hunt extends beyond battling fearsome creatures. The vast, open world is brimming with opportunities for exploration and a variety of quests to tackle. For those on the hunt for the elusive Rime Beetle in *Monster Hunter Wilds*, here's your guide to success.

How To Find the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds

If you've forgotten the hint Samin provided, head to the Iceshard Cliffs region to find the Rime Beetle. This isn't as simple as setting a waypoint on your map and letting your trusty Seikret do the work. Instead, you'll need to rely on your keen observation skills and a bit of luck.

The Rime Beetle is an endemic creature that rolls up balls of packed snow, making it easier to spot in snowy areas. Focus your search on Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13 within the Iceshard Cliffs. As you explore these snow-covered zones, keep an eye out for the Rime Beetle. If you notice tracks in the snow, following them can also lead you to your target.
