How to Beat Barroth

• Break the Legs to Topple It Down
• Arms are the Weakpoint
• Remove Mud using Water-element Weapons

Break the Legs to Topple It Down

When fighting Barroth, try aiming for the legs to break it and topple it down. This opens up Barroth to combos and damage, making the fight faster!

Arms are the Weakpoint

In addition, Barroth's arms are one of its weakpoints. Try aiming for that by staying on its side as more often than not, you will be blocked by its gigantic head when aiming from the front.

Remove Mud using Water-element Weapons

Barroth is one of those monsters that accumulate mud on their bodies that harden over time. The hardened mud can be removed using Water-based attacks, so try to bring a Water-element weapon in this fight just in case.
