If you've forgotten the hint provided by Samin, your quest to find the Rime Beetle will lead you to the Iceshard Cliffs region. Unfortunately, simply setting a waypoint on your map won't suffice; your trusty Seikret won't guide you directly to the beetle.
To locate the Rime Beetle, you'll need to rely on keen observation and a bit of luck. Fortunately, once you know where to look, the task becomes manageable. This endemic creature is known for rolling up balls of packed snow, making it easier to spot in snowy areas.
In the Iceshard Cliffs, focus your search in Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. As you explore these snow-covered zones, keep an eye out for the distinctive snowballs. If you notice tracks in the snow, follow them—they might lead you straight to a Rime Beetle.

While you can gather the Rime Beetle manually or with the Hook Slinger, capturing it requires the use of your Capture Net. This tool should already be part of your equipment. To equip it, hold L1/LB and navigate through your options until you reach the Capture Net. Press Square/X to select it, then aim using L2/LT.
Once the Rime Beetle is within your crosshairs and the target turns orange, fire the net to capture the beetle. This action will not only add the Rime Beetle to your collection but also fulfill Samin's request. If you opt to collect the beetle manually, you'll obtain Frost Pods, which can be used to inflict ice damage on your targets in Monster Hunter Wilds.
