And I stop now at Barioth.... ♥♥♥♥ this

[Biscuitness]

I love MHW and have enjoyed Iceborne so far. But playing solo, I just can't seem to output enough DPS (trying with a few weapons) in time to down Barioth - keep getting close. Meanwhile - I also can't get the Anjanath Mantle to drop after several kills to craft a fire weapon. So the game feels like it's slammed to a halt and just isn't fun anymore. So ♥♥♥♥ this.

raw damage for weapons are more important than elemental damage.
make the stongest raw damage weapon you can and there should be no problem.

If you need help getting past it feel free to post session ID here and someone should be able to help you. Unless you were going for solo challenge.

Hey don't get filtered! Get even!

Adapt and overcome. It feels great when you finally make it, that tiny little rush of endorphins when you topple a wall is better than, I dunno, childbirth when the sprog is yours, or something

[Laughing kookaburra]

barioth is garbage designed monster, you think that's ♥♥♥♥ ? nope wait until you break his legs, his sliding attack will go across the map and the trip position is randomized, sometimes it's left sometimes it's right, you can't predict that and the moment you get close to him, he jumps and slides agai, ♥♥♥♥ trash

Tactics, not raw DPS, are what you need to beat Barioth.

Destroying his limbs causes him to give much larger attack openings. As such the opening of the fight should be spent setting up these breaks. Smash him into walls, use traps, take his body apart at the start. His parts have extremely low durability values. You can also bait him into charging bombs for damage.

Once his limbs are broken, the fight shifts to you laying on the DPS. Adopt a dodge and counter mindset, as he will open himself up after each attack, provided you don't get hit. Keep a wall to your back so when he lunges at you, he can't side away. Positioning is key here.

Once he gets low, trap and capture and it's over and done with.

barioth should be MR6 lol, jokes aside i really hate his delayed stomp and my first encounter is like 8/10 i got stomped so i switch to ez mode with lance (still using crest claw at that time, the guard clutch -> tenderize makes everything easier)

Literally fire an SOS Flare, is that so hard?

[Ragosta tin Dei]

Yeah they hit their "anjanath" very quickly. Not a big fan of Barioth tbh, esp the 50 shades one. Too much HP for something that flighty.

no offense but sometimes we do want to learn a monster moveset, barioth in this case, so that when AT barioth comes out we dont ruin other people runs

OP doesn't seem to want to do that though. That being said, I do think multiplayer is great for learning. When I can't do a hunt, I tend to SOS and play more passive, see what it's doing while not focussed just on me or my cat.

Lmao getting stuck at Barioth

I do understand solo players that are dedicated to improve and like the challenge. But not this OP.. he is more like my 3 year old son, who is all like "I can do this allone!" and refuses any help. Then starts crying, when he can't do it. lol

[Black Hammer]

Do 50 Shades of White about a dozen times, and you'll get used to his shenanigans. It will make you a better player.

Not in Iceborne. Elemental caps were raised by a lot and elemental scaling was improved.

That being said, HBG and lance make barioth fight trivial.
