Snow Beetle: How to Capture it in Monster Hunter Wilds? Complete Guide

Monster Hunter Wilds is filled with fascinating creatures to track, and among them, the snow beetle stands out. This insect, native to the Ice Cliffs, is central to several side quests for guild researchers. Here's everything you need to know to easily locate and capture it.

The snow beetle is found exclusively in the Ice Cliffs, particularly in sectors 2, 11, and 13-14. Sector 2, close to the camp, is the perfect place to spot it quickly.

To capture this small insect, equip the capture net on your slingshot, which is essential for catching endemic insects. Look for it on the ground, recognizable by its white and brown color and its habit of pushing a snowball. Approach until the reticle changes from white to orange, then use the net. Be careful not to mistake the beetle for its snowball! Once captured, return to see Samin at the camp to validate the mission and collect your rewards.

The snow beetle is tied to side quests, often in competition between Samin and Dareel. Although the rewards are modest (consumables and guide points), they help enrich your progression and unlock new missions.

Capturing the snow beetle is a simple and enjoyable task that will allow you to explore the Ice Cliffs from a new perspective. With these tips, you should find it with ease and fully enjoy the secrets of this icy region.
