Regular Phase Attack Pattern

Turn Count Move
Turn 1 Speed Attack
Turn 2 Feral Sludge Scheme
Applies Mud Mantle

The regular phase of Feral Barroth only has two main cycles which are its regular attack then Feral Sludge scheme. After using its skill, it will immediately transition into its Mud Mantle phase.

Mud Mantle Attack Pattern

Turn Count Move
Turn 1 Technical Attack
Turn 2 Feral Mud Torrent

During its Mud Mantle phase, it will switch its main attacks to Technical attacks so make sure that you counter it with Power attacks or skills. It will also change its Feral Sludge Scheme in to Feral Mud Torrent which is a higher damage attack.

Recommended Monsties for Feral Barroth

Soulseer Mizutsune iconSoulseer Mizutsune Espinas iconEspinas Pukei-Pukei iconPukei-Pukei

These are the three best Monsties we recommend to bring against the Feral Barroth. Mizutsune can easily capitalize on the Feral Barroth's water weakness which is when the Feral Barroth has Mud Mantle Up. Meanwhile, Espinas is good against Barroth's fire weakness during its regular phase.

Pukei-Pukei is added as a monstie that can inflict status ailments and can easily be replaced by other Monsties that can do it such as Bishaten.

Feral Barroth Tips

checkmarkAvoid the Blightstone on Normal Phase
checkmarkUse Water Skills

Reach Level xx

Before Fighting the Feral Barroth, try to reach X Levels to have a better chance of besting the monster. Consider hunting monsters in the area first to raise your levels until you reach the recommended level.

Utilize Status Ailments

As most fights goes, status ailments are great tools to capitalize on against any bosses. Stack ailments such as poison to ramp up your team's DPS against the Feral Barroth. Feral Barroth is slightly resistant to Paralysis and Bleed but is vulnerable to everything else which makes it a prime target for status effects mid-fight.

Avoid Hitting the Blightstone on Normal Phase

The Feral Barroth will retaliate when its blightstone is attacked when its not covered in mud. Consider using slash attacks against its tail or piercing attacks against its Forelegs instead during its regular phase.

Use Water Skills on Mud Mantle Phase and Fire Skills on Normal Phase

Feral Barroth takes severe damage from water attacks. Bring weapon that have water element or Monsties with water elemental attack to deal higher damage during the Mud Mantle phase.

However, on the regular phase, you'll want to use Fire attacks as Feral Barroth's weakness becomes fire during this phase.
