Quick Combat Tips

• Barroth's weakest spots are its forelegs, hind legs and tail. While the forelegs offer a bigger hitzone value per hit, attacking its hind legs will lead to more knockdowns, allowing you to set up large combos and powerful attacks.
• Barroth's head is extremely tough and should be avoided unless you are using a strong blunt weapon. It is possible to break off a piece of its scalp and carve it for materials but this requires focused Blunt Damage attacks.
• Barroth will periodically run towards a watering hole and roll around in it to replenish its mud armor. Take advantage of this moment to get a few free hits in.
• Barroth's mud armor improves its durability but can be chipped away by repeated attacks. Alternatively, you can look for a Mudbeetle in the locale and fling it at the monster to inflict it with Waterblight and remove its mud armor.
• Avoid the mud piles that Barroth flings around. These persist on the ground for a while and will hinder a hunter's movement, slowing them down considerably and leaving them open to devastating attacks such as the Barroth's charge. The mud will also inflict Waterblight on contact.
• Bring Nulberries to remove Waterblight. It can also be removed by Wiredashing twice.
• Barroth focuses most of its attacks to only one target at a time, letting themselves exposed to any other enemy. If you are accompanied by a palico, a palamute or another hunter, the battle will become much easier as the monster becomes distracted by any target.
• It is adviced to keep dodging its attacks to the side, to the quickly attack its legs.
• If you are at close range you can dodge towards the monster, whenever it's facing you and attacking you.
• You may use wirebug to leave the area when the monster is throwing mud balls around, leaving pools of mud and inflicting Waterblight.
• If the monster is only throwing mud ball backwards by swinging its tail, you may use wirebug to get in front of it to attack while it's doing the attack animation, but midn its tail swing and avoid getting hit by jumping towards it.
• Ranged hunter should aim for its tail instead of its head.
• Barroth movements are pretty similar to Anjanath's, but Barroth does not get knocked down so frequently as its head is more resistant than Anjanath's.
• Barroth announces its charge attacks by breathing out through its upper nozzles like a train, and then charges toward a target giving it more than enough time to dodge it.

Barroth Attacks & Moveset

Chomp - Barroth's most basic attack is a quick bite telegraphed by pulling its head back slightly and then lunging a very short distance forward.

Side Tackle - Barroth angles its body sideward and bashes hunters with its torso. This attack can fling mud around if the Barroth is caked in it.

Cranium Hammer - Barroth raises its head up high and sends it crashing down into the ground in front of it like a mighty hammer. Deals heavy damage on a direct hit but is clearly telegraphed.

Mud Smash - This attack looks identical to the Cranium Hammer in both wind-up and execution but the Barroth does not fully slam its head into the ground. It instead uses the momentum to fling 3 mud projectiles in a cone in front of it.

Relentless Charge - Barroth makes a sharp sound similar to a train whistle and then dashes in a straight line towards its target. This attack deals heavy damage and has a large hitbox but can easily be avoided by listening to the audio cue. Try to position your back towards a wall or other solid structure and bait the Barroth's charge to gain a 1-2 second window for a counterattack.

Tail Swat - Staying at Barroth's rear for extended periods will cause it to swat at you twice with its tail. Well-telegraphed and easily avoided.

Mud Barrage - Barroth will periodically stop and shake its entire body erratically, flinging mud all over the place. Despite audible cues from your hunter warning of impending danger, this attack is actually quite mild as long as you've been consistent at chipping away at its mud armor. Press the attack when you see the Barroth shaking as it allows for a solid few seconds of free damage.

Mud Roll - When not covered in mud for an extended period, Barroth will actively seek out the nearest watering hole and roll around in it to replenish its mud armor. This is a perfect opportunity to use your strongest attacks as it cannot damage you during this process.
