Tips for Hunting

• Attack Barroth when its mud armor is broken — Fire weapons are more effective once it’s clean.
• Aim for the legs to trip it and expose weak points.
• Its head is extremely tough; only hammer-class weapons or charged attacks can break the skull effectively.
• Bring Cleanser items or Nulberries to counter Waterblight from mud attacks.
