Following Samin's hint, venture to the Iceshard Cliffs. Unlike other quests, waypoints won't directly lead you to the Rime Beetle. Instead, rely on keen observation and a bit of luck.

The Rime Beetle's telltale sign is its characteristic snowballs. Focus your search on snowy areas within Iceshard Cliffs, specifically Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Look for these snowballs or follow any visible tracks in the snow.

To complete Samin's request, capture the Rime Beetle, not simply collect it. Equip your Capture Net (accessible via L1/LB). Aim with L2/LT, wait for the orange targeting indicator, and fire. Success adds the Rime Beetle to your collection, fulfilling the quest. Manually collecting them yields Frost Pods for inflicting ice damage.

This concludes your guide to finding and capturing Rime Beetles in Monster Hunter Rise. Check The Escapist for more Monster Hunter Rise tips and guides.
