If you've forgotten Samin's hint, your journey to find the Rime Beetle will take you to the Iceshard Cliffs region. Finding the Rime Beetle isn't as simple as setting a waypoint and letting your Seikret guide you. Instead, you'll need to rely on your observation skills and a bit of luck.

The Rime Beetle is known for rolling up balls of packed snow, making them easier to spot in snowy areas. In the Iceshard Cliffs, focus your search on Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Once there, scan the snow-covered landscapes, and you should soon spot a Rime Beetle. Keep an eye out for tracks in the snow, as following them can lead you straight to your target.

Capturing the Rime Beetle requires the use of your Capture Net, which should be part of your standard equipment. To equip it, hold L1/LB and scroll to the Capture Net, then press Square/X. Aim at the Rime Beetle using L2/LT, wait for the crosshairs to turn orange, and fire to capture it. Successfully capturing the Rime Beetle will add it to your collection and fulfill Samin's request.

If you choose to collect the Rime Beetle manually or with the Hook Slinger, you'll obtain Frost Pods instead, which can be used to inflict ice damage on enemies in Monster Hunter Wilds.
