Barroth Hunting Tips

If you get hit by the mud a Barroth flings around, you'll get muddy, which means that any pro hunter should prioritize attacking the muddy parts of the monster to clean it off! Once you've got rid of all that mud, fighting will be some good, clean fun.

How to Beat Barroth

Barroth Tips
Avoid Hitting Barroth's Head Focus on Barroth's Forelegs, Hind Legs, and Tail Be Wary of Mud Piles Vulnerable While Rolling in Mud Use Mudbeetles to Soften Hide Bring Nulberries

Avoid Hitting Barroth's Head

Unless you are aiming to break Barroth's head with a blunt weapon like the Hammer, you should avoid attacking Barroth's head. Barroth's head is extremely durable and can easily deflect most attacks, so prioritize dealing damage to its other body parts instead.

Focus on Barroth's Forelegs, Hind Legs, and Tail

Barroth's forelegs and tail are its primary weak points, so prioritize dealing damage to these body parts as often as possible. If these parts are hard to reach, focus on attacking Barroth's hind legs instead.

Be Wary of Mud Piles

Some of Barroth's attacks produce mud piles that persist for a few seconds. These plies of mud can be deadly obstacles as they hinder movement. Be mindful of your positioning and avoid these mud piles as much as possible.

Vulnerable While Rolling in Mud

During the hunt, Barroth sometimes moves towards wet areas to cover itself in mud by rolling around on the ground. While this happens, Barroth is completely vulnerable, so take advantage of this opening by dealing as much damage as possible to the monster.

Use Mudbeetles to Soften Hide

Mudbeetles are particularly effective against Barroth as they inflict Waterblight, which softens Barroth's hide and completely negates its mud armor. Pick up and use these Endemic Life to your advantage whenever possible!

Bring Nulberries

Barroth's mud piles can inflict Waterblight on impact, which slows down stamina recovery. Negate this potentially deadly status ailment by bringing Nulberries to the hunt.

You can also check your base camp's Supply Box at the start of the hunt for any free Nulberries.

Barroth Master Rank Attack Patterns

In addition to its attacks in Low and High Rank quests, Barroth uses the following new attack in Master Rank.

Tail Slam and Chomp Combo

Placeholder Attack Information
Tail Slam and Chomp Combo: Barroth performs a quick tail slam before suddenly chomping forward, dealing with hunters that assault it from both the front and the back. The forward bite in this combo comes out quickly and can catch careless hunters off guard, so always stay alert when positioning near Barroth's mouth.

Barroth General Attack Patterns

Barroth uses the following attacks in Low and High Rank quests.

Head Slam Attacks

Barroth can use its head as a hammer, slamming it on top of hunters that stray too close to its front. There are two variations of head slam attacks.

Head Slam Attack Variations
Quick Head Slam: Barroth rears its head back before slamming it down with force, dealing moderate damage and knocking hunters back on contact.
Muddy Head Slam: Barroth winds up its head slam for longer before slamming it down with added force, dealing extra damage and causing mud to scatter in front of the monster.

Bite Attacks

Barroth uses its massive mouth to quickly bite at the hunter, dealing moderate damage and potentially causing them to trip. There are two variations of bite attacks.

Bite Attack Variations
Forward Chomp: Barroth walks forward as it forcefully bites down on the hunter. Dodge toward Barroth's sides to avoid getting hit by this attack.
Sideward Chomp: Barroth rears its head toward one of its sides before chomping down toward the other side. To avoid this attack, evade away from Barroth's mouth and the path of its bite.

Tail Attacks

Barroth can use its tail to knock hunters away from its rear and cause mud to scatter around the area. There are two variations of tail attacks.

Tail Attack Variations
Muddy Tail Flick: Barroth whips its tail around, causing mud to scatter nearby. Afterward, it performs two quick sideward tail flicks, knocking hunters away and causing more mud to spread. This attack deals moderate damage and can inflict Waterblight on impact.
Muddy Tail Slam: Barroth flicks its tail up and down before slamming it down on top of the hunter, dealing moderate damage and sending a ball of mud flying behind it. This attack can inflict Waterblight on impact.

Muddy Side Tackle

Muddy Side Tackle Attack Information
Muddy Side Tackle: Barroth shakes its head before tackling toward one of its sides, dealing moderate damage on impact and scattering mud piles towards the direction it attacked. Stay alert for follow-up attacks if you find yourself stuck in the mud piles this move creates.

Mud Scatter

Mud Scatter Attack Information
Mud Scatter: Barroth shakes its muck-covered body around to scatter mud piles around the area. While this attack does no damage, the amount of mud piles it creates can drastically reduce hunter mobility. Note that Barroth is completely vulnerable while it performs this attack, so take advantage of this opening by dealing as much damage as possible to the monster.

Chomping Head Slam Combo

Chomping Head Slam Combo Attack Information
Chomping Head Slam Combo: Barroth performs a quick side chomp before slamming its head on top of the hunter, scattering mud in front of it. The head slam in this combo comes out quickly and can catch careless hunters off guard, so stay alert whenever Barrioth performs a chomping attack.

Furious Charge

Furious Charge Attack Information
Furious Charge: Barroth curls up and lets out a train-like hiss before furiously charging at its target, dealing heavy damage and knocking away any hunter in its path. Listen closely for the train-like hiss and move immediately away from Barroth's front to avoid getting hit by this attack.
