Barioth strategy - Monster Hunter World: Iceborne
As I play with charge blade this monster was a menace. The savage axe mode didn't help much as the monster jumps around, which either results in many missed attacks or getting hit by Barioth. However, after some time I got a hang of it and mostly concentrated on SAED. Here are my main tips for him:
- Break his claws - a strange thing but this immensely helped me, because his mobility went down
- Some resistance against Ice really helps as he shoots these ice tornadoes
- He has three star fire damage weakness try to use this weapon for your build
- You should be able to see his attack patterns in first 5 minutes in the fight: when he does tails swings, side pounce or uses ice attacks
- Don't defend against tornadoes, because they will still hit you after defending
Generally I would say this fight was frustrating and fun at the same time. As a bit different tactics had to employed similar to Viper Tobi-Kedachi.
Good luck!
