The Bladed Rhino Beetle is an insect found in Breath of the Wild, Age of Calamity, and Tears of the Kingdom.

Breath of the Wild

"This beetle's razor-sharp horns demand that you handle it with care. Boil the horns alongside monster parts to concoct an elixir that will raise your attack power."

— In-game description

Bladed Rhino Beetles can typically be found on the sides of trees around Hyrule, most commonly in the grassy plains of Necluda. A group of beetles can be found on the trees as Link leaves the Shrine of Resurrection for the first time. They can be sold to shop-vendors all over Hyrule for 4 Rupees each.

Cooking

A Bladed Rhino Beetle can be cooked alongside monster parts to create Elixirs. The Bladed Rhino Beetle will give Link an attack boost. When cooked with a monster part that has no specific enhancement, such as a Bokoblin Horn, Link will create a Mighty Elixir. This will temporarily increase Link's attack power. If Link cooks a Bladed Rhino Beetle along with food, it will result in Link making Dubious Food.

Age of Calamity

"This beetle's razor-sharp horns demand careful handling. It's said to contain a substance that improves circulation and fills one with a sense of power."

— In-game description

Bladed Rhino Beetles are a required item for the quest Anything but Bugs. Despite this becoming available immediately after Chapter 1, they very rarely appear as random drops.

Consequently, the first scenario the player is likely to encounter them is the Challenge (Recommended Level Lv.11 - Lv.20) Mastering Stasis, where they are a Battlefield-Specific Material. This requires the completion of three Chapter 2 scenarios to unlock.

Tears of the Kingdom

"This beetle's razor-sharp horns demand that you handle it with care. Boil the horns alongside monster parts to concoct an elixir that will raise your attack power."

— In-game description

Bladed Rhino Beetles can typically be found on the sides of trees and large pieces of fallen wood at night or early morning around Hyrule's forests, particularly in Bronas Forest near the Dondon pen; smaller numbers can be found in the forested areas of Eventide Island and Retsam Forest. As before, it is advised to take a picture for the Hyrule Compendium at the first opportunity, for use with Sensor +, as they can be relatively difficult to spot directly.

There is a 1% chance that they will be dropped by a defeated Evermean, which have a low chance to drop any kind of beetle. They can be sold to shop-vendors all over Hyrule for 4 Rupees each. Cooking them with monster parts results in an Mighty Elixir, which grants Link temporary Attack Up when consumed.

Nine are required to enhance the Barbarian Set to ★★★★, three each for the Barbarian Helm, Barbarian Armor and Barbarian Leg Wraps.
