How To Find the Rime Beetle in Monster Hunter Wilds

These creatures are known for rolling up balls of packed snow, making them distinguishable in snowy environments. Focus your search in the snowy areas of the Iceshard Cliffs, particularly in Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Keep an eye out for tracks in the snow as well; following these can lead you straight to a Rime Beetle.
