Following Samin's clue, your search begins in the Iceshard Cliffs. Forget waypoints; this hunt relies on keen observation and a bit of luck. Rime Beetles are easily spotted by their characteristic snowballs. Focus your search on snowy areas within Iceshard Cliffs, specifically Areas 2, 7, 8, 11, and 13. Snow tracks can also guide you.

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