If you've forgotten the hint provided by Samin, you'll need to venture into the Iceshard Cliffs region to find the Rime Beetle. This isn't as simple as setting a waypoint and letting your Seikret guide you there. Instead, you'll need to rely on your observational skills and a bit of luck.
The Rime Beetle is an endemic creature known for rolling up balls of packed snow, making them relatively easy to spot in snowy areas. In the Iceshard Cliffs, focus your search on Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. As you explore these snow-covered regions, keep an eye out for the Rime Beetle or follow any tracks you find in the snow, which can lead you straight to them.

Capturing the Rime Beetle requires using your Capture Net, which should already be part of your equipment. To equip it, hold L1/LB and scroll through your options until you reach the Capture Net, then press Square/X to select it. Aim with L2/LT, and when the Rime Beetle is within your crosshairs and the indicator turns orange, fire to capture it. This action will add the Rime Beetle 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 targets within Monster Hunter Wilds.
That's everything you need to know about locating and capturing Rime Beetles in Monster Hunter Wilds. For more tips and information on the game, be sure to visit The Escapist.
