[@norsehorse84]

Firstly, great job as always. Second, if I were to give a bit of a challenge to you, can you give artful dodger guides with the HBG's roll in mind? While it has the same amount of s as other rolls, the fact it has a longer recovery time makes some of your tips worthless simply because you would need to roll twice in quick succession. Thanks! :D

[@sircuddlesGHII]

This channel is criminally underrated. A+ content.

I agree

[@chrissherrod197]

100% the content is on par w tv broadcast, I prep for my battles w these tutorial s.....priceless .

[@cogvokan8100]

One thing I can add is the roaring leap has asymmetric hitbox on Baritoth's claws. During the initial preparation animation of the roaring leap, Barioth puts one claw in front and the another behind. The claw baritoh putted behind will be lifted during the leaping animation, results in elevated hitbox. As long as your are in a rolling animation, the elevated hitbox wouldn't touch you. No is needed. You can even walk under the hitbox if the barioth is big enough.

[@MonsterHunterPH]

Excellent insight! This is why I love the MH community, you learn something new everyday!

Love this series! What was especially helpful was the Rajang one. I could sometimes completely dodge through Rajang's attacks, then I'll laugh at it for whiffing, then I cart. Hahahha

[@Sunaki1000]

Dito, knowing what Recoveryanimations are good Windows helped so much.

There's a different sense of accomplishment when you beat a monster head on, but dodging? Its a whole new level! Galing ng vid! Most underrated MHW channel to date!

[@panic_diver]

I can't believe this channel has just 10k subs. You, my friend, are a true monster hunter connoisseur. The effort you put in the videos is absolutely incredible, there are multiple clips of the moves with slow-mos showing how and when to dodge. You have studied all the moves of the monsters and all the information is accurate, valuable and provided at a leisurely pace so that the viewer can absorb everything in. The Artful Dodger series is a gem for monster hunter enthusiasts and I am glad that I found the brilliant channel. I wish you all the success in the world and I know such in-depth videos take a lot of research and work on your part but I think it would help you and the viewers a great deal if you could add all the monsters in the Artful Dodger series. You have already covered most elder dragons and top tier monsters, however, you can start adding other monsters as you did with barioth, perhaps, add Brachydios next with raging brachydios soon joining the roster. It would be truly amazing if we had a comprehensive guide for all the monsters in mhw in the Artful Dodger series. That way your videos would pop up, regardless of which monster people search for to find help or to learn their move sets in depth.

[@chrissherrod197]

I agree. Underrated by far.

[@mrosskne]

it would almost be useful if the actual game was in slow motion. oh well

[@y.matocinos8448]

You really don't know how much this video helped me for the 50 Shades of White event. Finding out that I had to fight a Barioth for the Guild Palace weapons almost made me break my controller... I had to switch from CB to LS just for Barioth. Thank you so much for this guide!

[@viethoang907]

Thank god for this series I couldn't agree more about your viewpoint with dealing with the monster's mechanics and teaching people how to fight the monster, instead of relying on tools and other temporary factors to deal with the monster. I started doing TA on all of my hunts (a bit excessive, I know) mainly because I wanted to get better at the fights without relying on tools and traps to carry me through them. I now have no problem dealing with any monster, and the tools only enhance my hunting experience, which I definitely feel is how they should be - extra help and not a crutch. I don't encourage everyone to do TA; it's not for everyone, but I do suggest people to stop relying on armour skills to save them and instead rely on your own personal skills to overcome the challenges - the game feels so much more rewarding this way. Keep doing what you're doing Tax !

[@MonsterHunterPH]

Thanks brother! I'm still working on that little project of ours, I haven't forgotten that yet. :)

Uuuuuugh you have no clue how many times I wanted to master this fight because I new for a fact the fight wasn’t broken, so I thought I was satisfied when I hunted him at least 20 times. Now with this video I understand so much more, and can’t wait to start having more fun with this fight, thank you so much!

[@dukefleed4881]

You have no idea how much your vids have helped me get better. I truly can't thank you enough 🙏

You have no idea how comments like these make it worthwhile. For as long as there are people finding value in these guides, I will continue doing them. - Taxman

[@Drewster1234]

Now, I realise these take a long time to do and a lot of effort etc. But omg please do more of these! Easily the best monster guide vids I've seen!

[@mellowsign]

This video and a little bit of patience single-handedly turned Barioth from one of my most hated monsters into my favorite fight.

[@norsehorse84]

@Monster Hunter World PH Elites Some things you missed: When Barioth's fangs are broken, the Jump Slam doesn't do tremor anymore, making dodging it far more forgiving. Also when his fangs are broken, the Ice Tornado doesn't linger. Not sure if that would make it able to be d, but it's good to know. For his Roaring Leap, you can actually dodge through it by dodging through the space in between his wings while he's in the air. This is mostly good for ranged weapons.

[@MonsterHunterPH]

Wow, these are great additional info! I never knew about the teeth and tremor connection, good catch.

[@ganescus]

This series is amazing, it would take me so many hunts to figure out which moves can be dodged through and where to be positioned. You made the Rajang, Velkhana and Ruiner fights a lot more fun for me, and thank you for that!

[@liveto1202]

Carted so many times, found this video. Instant capture with no cart! Thanks!

[@chasegaetze4507]

I'd love to see this channel become active again for Sunbreak. The amount of knowledge you all give is unlike any other channel

[@robertchristman8462]

Saw this in my feed at breakfast & made sure to watch this right after limping through my barioth hunt blind today. Recently discovered your channel actually just looking for HH play but I love this evasion series.

[@MonsterHunterPH]

I'd like to know how your subsequent hunts changed after watching the video. Let us know if that is alright with you. :)

[@robertchristman8462]

@@MonsterHunterPH Well my first hunt was a "47 minute & cart twice" bit of a mess. I think the 'safe zone' advice was the most help personally. My second run I still carted but that was because I was trying to guard point things with charge blade. Even then it was like 25 minutes instead of almost timing out. I'm still learning how to position to counterattack as Barioth jumps around but my last hunt I didn't get hit hardly at all & took it down in under 20 min. It helped to have the timings & dodging techniques broken down as well though because that saved me taking hits figuring it out through trial & error on my own. All in all definitely a good video & I'd recommend it to any friend who was having a hard time 👍

[@Alkamone]

I agree with the sentiment you gave after explaining his moves. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to help your fellow hunters, to be become better at the game!

[@jaacnalc82]

I was looking for a video to help me deal with Barioth and out of all them this one helped me out a TON. And you're right. It's not always about brute force to solve the problem.

EASY sub! I don't know why nobody else is doing these sorts of tutorials. Excellent content!

[@Animaniafreak]

Love your dodge guide! I remember when I was playing mh4u, there were hunters putting up guides on monster moveset and the best way to dodge them, I thought those guides were true testament to a hunter's skill. Thank you, I love your approach and your videos, keep up the good work!

[@FlipsMG]

Fantastic video! Make one for every monster! The time stamps are a great addition too!

[@Mc3Music]

taxman made me better in just a few days...you are the mvp and a mentor i look up to ❤

[@TrainingMacro]

I definitely appreciate guides like this. I think they are the most complete ones I've seen so far in helping to understand the matchup. I think the only thing missing is what are triggers for monsters to do what they are doing. This way players could avoid the monster doing things they don't want it to do in the first place. If you add that part, this will pretty much be a complete guide to how to beat a monster.

[@Eedelia01]

This series has completely changed up my Long Sword gameplay. What had become essentially intuition and guesswork has become verifiable reads on what will happen and how I can read. You present material in relaxed manner, full of carefully thought out details and easy-to-digest segments. The careful use of text and animated arrows and slow-motion make these series of videos insanely easy to recommend to my friends. You've done the community a huge service. Thank you!

[@barrybeakdriver]

Great video as always, it would be great too if in the future we could get guides on the concept of influencing monster moves/baiting moves, which in conjunction with dodging, is what I think makes the combat of MH so addicting and infinitely replayable. Keep up the great vids my man!

[@riddarhyttan]

The jump slam coupled with a bloody ledge getting in the way was my first cart in IB :/ I'm better armed to deal with him thanks to this vid. Your statement of intent at 12:28 is why this channel deserves more subs by the way, counter builds may have their purpose but they always risk becoming a crutch and selling both the game and player short. Props.

This video is great!! Gonna try it later!! Thank you for going in details to explain all the moves!

[@ospiritt]

The people behind TA rules and you share similar opinion about the game. By not using OP tools like trap or temp/rocksteady mantle. The game really feel lot lot better. This series really helpful (CB main here), even that I rarely need to use roll. It will super useful for me to understand move-set of a monster.

[@aswinottapilavil495]

Linh Pham I don’t think that’s what he meant. He didn’t mean we shouldn’t use those tools in the game and using them takes something away from the game but what he meant is how a guide should be teaching the ways to deal with the monster in the most core way rather than just telling people to just slot in a skill, use mantles or make a certain build coz it’s just merely stating the obvious. Instead once you learn to deal with the monsters by exploiting the move set you can always use those additional things to make the hunt more comfortable. I think in general MH community doesn’t understand the difference between tips and guides, telling someone to slot in a skill or using a counter build is just giving tips. When I used to play BB or souls, “boss guides” are basically move by move breakdown and how to effectively counter them, but I rarely see those in MH community, people just like to tell you a build or what mantle to use.

[@ospiritt]

@@aswinottapilavil495 I agreed with you. It's just personal preference. Neither me or OP telling people to stop using tools. But rather hinting that the game better when you face the monster without any OP tools. The game become something different than what you used to know. To me it feel like a dance with monster. In my guess it why the series named as "artful"

[@theschachter9816]

These videos are honestly the best Monster Hunter resources/tutorials I've seen on youtube. Exceptional work!

Dude, thank you so much! It's the first boss that took me this long. Breaking his claws helped, though he was still incredibly annoying. The monster attack hitboxes in this game feel so unfair.

I agree with your approach to the game. I enjoy using specific builds for monsters but the most satisfying part of MH is when I can finally read the monster and knowing what to do. With that said, Barrioth is the biggest pain in my ass right now. I can deal with similar monsters like Tigrex and Narcacuga but I find Barrioth the most annoying to hunt.

any tips on practicing the dodge? Not only barioth, but in general. I have a bad reflex and usually dodge it 1 step later (and it failed). I've always dodge "out" of the attacks than dodging between attacks but it doesn't work everytime.

Can you make a guide on them? It would help a lot.

[@iquisickis2103]

I love the artful dodger series but I was wondering : Which level of evade window do you recommend to perform all these dodges? I love Evade Extender skill for Hunting Horn. Is it really useful?

[@MonsterHunterPH]

If you want a comfortable dodge, Evade Window +2 is already very good and doesn't require too much commitment. You can start off with that. You'll immediately see how much better you dodge monster roars with Eva +2. For evade extender, its more of a personal preference. Like, for me, I would never equip evade extender because it messes up with my positioning far too much, especially with enemies like Namielle and Velkhana.

[@crouchingotter]

This is really useful. Thank you so much!

[@scrungtilda7500]

These are the best guides.if you take requests, I would like to know about regular tigrex. My friend tells me to roll against his charge but I cant get the hang of it. Also I was thinking that it would be cool if the hunting horn could have song that was something like a cutting echo.

[@scorpiopede]

Fantastic video on a frustratingly fast monster. As someone who has played the series since Tri, I am still, over 400 hours into World/Iceborne, struggling with the speed of monsters in this game. One thing I would be interested in your covering is how exploit openings or dealing with monsters that don't have many openings. These artful dodger guides have been incredibly useful but I still find myself, especially with hunting horn, getting punished just for taking advantage of an opening a monster gives as most attacks allow them recover faster than the time it takes for me to complete a single attack animation. Hunting Horn is one of my favorite weapons to use but how slow it is combined with the speed of monsters in this game has it difficult to justify myself using it in most hunts when other weapons I play are safer. I'm curious what tips you can give regarding this issue and what I can do to improve.

[@Mister_Taxman]

Taxman here: More or less you are already doing the counters properly but your issue could be stemming from the possibility that you may not be doing the counter attacks as fast as it should be. Ideally, you would like to do counter attacks when the monster is still in the brink of doing its last move's recovery animation, not when the monster has already returned to its neutral idle position (he is ready to make the next move). If anything, the best way to learn is to see how others do it and see which moves they punish and which moves they don't punish. I would suggest taking a look at Hunting Horn TA Wiki speedruns for any specific monster in this link iceborne.seiken.io/quests/

[@scorpiopede]

@@Mister_Taxman Thank you very much for the reply! I have been watching a lot of speedruns on youtube and generally learned of openings or ways of avoiding certain moves that I wasn't aware of, although it's hard to judge myself in the moment what exactly I am doing wrong, but this is a good place to start. Keep up the great work.

[@MonsterHunterPH]

@@scorpiopede its a good idea to record your runs and review afterwards. You'll see a lot of things you normally won't in the heat of the hunt. Hope this helps!

[@scorpiopede]

@@MonsterHunterPH Thank you, one additional tip I would ask for is dealing with monsters that have a lot of really fast attacks. One example from recently is Velkhana since her ice beams come out so incredibly fast, and using hunting horn means I need to be close to her face and thus in range from those attacks. This still ties into the previous comment on openings and taking advantage of them and it makes her probably my least favorite elder dragon to face.

This is what a monster guide is supposed to be, detailing the move set itself and how best to deal with it, instead of just giving ancillary tips or saying things like use the clutch claw, use flash pods and mount him, those should be a given but what’s much more important is understanding the moveset.

[@hoaryu]

The big brain play for evading Barioth is to not select its quests.

[@moerko94]

What cues are there to identify at what point Barrioth (or any monster) is exhausted?

[@mabby1724]

Any monster will just stop dead on their tracks for a long time while drooling. This is different from a clutch claw opening. When they're tired, you'll see they'll quickly end being Enraged (see eye marker in map on monster). You'll also notice they move slower than usual

[@siaowun9418]

I think the worst part most us had with Barioth was optimizing our dodges so we'd be in range to punish after attacks. He'd start break dancing for a minute and we get no damage in. Then do that stupid charge / flying thing and create this 5 mile gap. Most of us would just lose patience and start blindly bee lining at him and thats when we get destroyed.
