Quick Combat Tips:

• Barioth is a very long monster and often uses this to its advantage by angling its side towards hunter, creating a very large hitbox or using its long tail to perform a very wide sweep that covers a lot of ground. Maintain mobility and try to get near its front and by the wings/forelegs.
• Part breaks are a significant advantage when it comes to fighting Barioth. Particularly its Head, Forelegs and the Thorns jutting out from its "elbows". These are its most vulnerable spots and breaking them will slow the monster down considerably. Consider using Blunt Weapons such as the Hammer or weapons with attacks that incorporate Blunt Damage such as the Sword & Shield.
• Breaking its forelegs and thorns will slow the monster down and cause it to stumble when performing nearly all of its pouncing attacks, giving you a small window to counterattack.
• Breaking its head will not only cause it to tire more easily but can also cause its breath attacks to fail sometimes.
• Barioth is weak to Fire and Thunder elements, leaving it vulnerable to opponents that make effective use of these types of attacks.
• Severing its tail will shorten the range of its tail sweep attack.
• Barioth is weak to Fire attacks, so using fire-based weapons and items can be effective against it.
• Bring Nulberries to counteract the Iceblight effect which the monster inflicts with its breath and tail sweep attacks.

Barioth Attacks & Moveset

Pouncing Attacks - Barioth's most common form of attack is to pounce towards hunters. It uses three different ranges for its pounce attacks. If the forelegs are broken, these moves will cause the Barioth to stumble briefly afterwards, giving hunters a small window to get a couple of hits in.

• Bite - The shortest and most common form when not enraged. Barioth simply hops forward and delivers a quick bite. This move is not very accurate and is easily dodged.
• Lunge - Barioth hops backward a short distance either to reposition or wind-up and then jumps forward a considerable distance, knocking players down and dealing moderate damage. An indirect hit will deal minor damage to hunters. This damage can be reduced by breaking its thorns.
• Dashing Leap - Barioth hops backward, plants one foreleg in the ground and and leaps violently towards its target. The move is so aggressive that the monster lands on its side. This attack covers the most distance and is often used when hunters are further away. It can also use this move from the air when it flies up.

Claw Swipe - Barioth raises one of its forelegs and then pivots violently in a near 360 degree rotation as it slashes at hunters. Barioth uses this both as moderately damaging attack and repositioning tool.

Side Tackle - Barioth hops up as it angles its side towards hunters and then bashes them with its body. This move has a deceptively large hitbox and can clock you even if it appears you are behind the monster. Be careful with your positioning and maintain ample distance.

Tail Sweep - Barioth takes a quick step back with one hind leg as it winds its tail up and then sweeps it across its side all the way to its front. The tail kicks up snow and inflicts Iceblight on hit. If the tail tip is intact, this move can hit hunters standing near the monster's face. Sever its tail to reduce the range.

Dive Bomb - Barioth shuffles backwards slightly as it stands on its hind legs, shaking its head briefly before leaping up high and then crashing downwards towards its target. This is Barioth's most devastating attack if it hits directly but can be avoided with proper dodge timing. Wait for Barioth to leap before performing your dodge.

Frost Whirlwind - Barioth growls while raising its head and then quickly unleashes a frost breath attack that travels a short distance before bursting into a whirlwind on impact. A direct hit causes high damage and knocks players away. The whirlwind will persist on the ground for a period of time, knocking any players sky high if they walk into the effect. While the projectile is traveling, it has a narrow hitbox but the impact has a much larger AoE. Barioth will also perform this move at times when it flies up.

Take Flight - Barioth will frequently take flight to reposition and can follow up with either a Frost Whirlwind or Dashing Leap from the air.
