The Evolution of Barioth in Monster Hunter - Heavy Wings

[@comaloma]

I personally love frostfangs design. The colours and the extra fur and frost make him looks so good. I also love how his ice attacks look and the name reference to stories

[@draw2death421]

Same. The hair piece is delicious

[@spartanjeffrey9993]

It is one of my favorite flying wyvern

[@RedHornSSS]

I actually like frostfang barioth fight quite a bit. For it actually counters my normal lance play style lol

[@starslayer8390]

Frostfang's armor just looks so incredibly good, and it has some good skills too. Definitely my favorite one.

[@Eve0420]

The female Frostfang is by far my favorite armor in World. It just looks so good

[@dethkruzer]

The fur on Sand Barioth does actually make sense. A proper coat of fur can not only help retain body heat in cold environments, but it can also act as insulation to keep the heat out. Considering how big the Barioth is, and it presumably cools off by panting, it's safe to assune its fur is actually an excellent heat insulator as deserts will have both extreme heat during the day, but also very cold during the night.

[@Rhetco]

I was fighting some barioths in GU earlier today, and I can confirm that it actually does have the wall jump attack in that game. It seems to be fairly uncommon however, and from what I've seen it'll only use the attack on the arctic ridge, not the frozen seaway for some reason. Also, it can still do the area transition ambush in GU. Edit: I fought barioth again in the frozen seaway and saw it do the wall jump in area 6. It kinda seemed like a buggy interaction though because I wasn't close to it when it went on the wall, and in lunged in completely the wrong direction. I didn't have palicoes or anything so there wasn't another target.

[@jethrovelez7997]

Barioth can wall jump attack in Frozen Seaway only in Area 1 fight him in nearby wall Edit: I think he can only do it in other area I'll go take a look

[@draw2death421]

Im playing MHPortable3rd and even in that game he can jump from walls aswell.

[@HeavyWings]

Oh so it's really rare? It's regrettable I missed that.

[@DuckMan77]

Apparently he does a "rare" move to me every time I fight him lol Every single time he's in area 1 Frozen Seaway he jumps on the wall for me, I didn't expect it the first time audibly screaming "WTF!" Lol

[@w0nderlord02]

Wait he does have the area transition attack in GU , never saw it in GU or am I dumb , cause I only know this from 3U

[@cosmiccappuccino7661]

Hey Heavy Wings! I actually really do like hearing you review the visual looks of each armor set for the monster's, and kind of more succinctly going through their gameplay mechanics instead of all the way to balance it out! Wouldn't mind that being the way the armor reviews go from now on! :)

[@HeavyWings]

If it comes to it maybe a separate series might do the trick.

[@Hooy-Jaymay]

It needs to be in specific zones, but Barioth does indeed jump off walls in Gen U! he just does it really fast so people seldom notice it.

[@bobertcheeseboy3111]

Barioth is my least favorite non-elder monster of all time, but Frostfang Barioth is one of my favorite non-elders. It’s amazing what the removal of wind can do.

[@draw2death421]

True! I absolutely despised Regular brachydios. Hes my least faiv monster in the serries easily but Raging Brachydios is honestly a really fun fight

[@Londoniusthe3rd]

I saw a Barioth jump off a wall in the Citadel map in Sunbreak.

[@rukiashikon2985]

Barioth is Sunbreak can hop on the walls. At the time of me typing this comment, he did it an hour ago when I was fighting him, and I said out loud "wait what the hell?!"

[@reshi606]

Absolutely love GU Barioth. The fight feels tailor made for IG's moveset with how every attack leads into some sort of opening

[@jaegerventus]

I think discussing Armor desgins is more appealing than going through the skills in detail. It's really good way of pointing things a playwr wouldn't really notice upon first glance and i just really like seeing the different gunner/blademaster desgins. Also wouldn't mind this being a separate series 👍

[@Gehalo]

Really liked the change for the armor portion of the video. Always loved the design of the armors and how they improved the designs overtime.

[@devanpretorius451]

I love Barioth, was my first real challenge in iceborne and blew me away.

[@kallebsmith807]

I like how the armor sets are now explained. Short, sweet, and straight to the point! Keep up the amazingly good work.

[@lubbo5261]

Barioth is my favorite Monster, my Ranking of all versions: 1. Sunbreak Barioth 2. Frostfang Barioth 3. Sand Barioth 4. Iceborne Barioth 6. GU Barioth 7. 3U Barioth

[@aphidamas1]

I hope Frost Fang comes back with some fun additions someday. I can't say why, but Frost Fang was always a standout fight for me.

[@OingiMcGamer]

definitely love the armor section, the way you handled it this video seems more enjoyable. i know you mentioned it once but i would definitely spend just a tad bit more time explaining the skills on the set. not entirely like the hermitaur video going skill by skill but more so just stating what skills/type of skills the set gives in each game.

[@CobaltNitrium]

For me, it's Frostfang. I love it's design and the way it fights. And I wasn't even aware of it's subspecies the Sand Barioth until I watched this video. Keep up the good work.👍

[@MistahBrayve]

Fighting monsters in dark caves or lowly-lit caves is so cool! I hope they bring that back :)

[@teero121]

I've mentioned how the armor sections in your previous videos could do with a bit of streamlining and I think you handled it very will with this one.

[@MrWTFOMFGROFL]

The G rank Barioth armor is my favorite. I remember being pissed when i found out in iceborn they used the high rank design instead. At least we had frostfang later to make up for it

[@lubbo5261]

The "new" tail swipe added in Sunbreak is from Frontier where Barioth can use it too.^^ Edit: he can do the wall jump attack in Rise/Sunbreak too, he just does it extremly rarely in Risebreak.

[@nihonii3341]

Ooooohh finally a Barioth video, he is my favorite monster of the series and a really underrated one, not many people like his design or attacks, which is really understandable. He is much more fun to fight in Iceborne and Frrostfang is my favorite, both design and fighting it :D. Though i wish him and nargacuga are smaller you know, and keep tigrex to be the bigger of the quadrupedal trio

[@deinonychus1948]

Yeah Frostfang was awesome; literally the only downside was that he was added AFTER a f**king Black Dragon!

[@Scorchlette]

Barioth was my first major roadblock in Iceborne and I kind of like that. He's fast, aggressive, and evasive- three things that, at the time, didn't pair very will with the way I used Charge Blade, so it forced me to shift up my playstyle some. Though, while I say I liked that Barioth was a roadblock, I've never enjoyed the hunt. Frostfang, however, is a much more enjoyable hunt- lemme tell you, the removal of the fucking tornado makes a world of difference. And his armour is cooler to boot.

[@EndiXIV]

Might be my favorite monster design, so simple yet so cool

[@proutmobile1228]

The changes to the armor section are really good! Keep it up!

[@dragonriderjohann7683]

frostfrang barioth set is my favorite out of the sets but all are badass in there own design

[@theferretman2157]

I'd like to point out a small thing you missed: In Iceborne (and only Iceborne), if Barioth's charges or certain moving attacks collide with a wall, it'll run straight up the wall and land a small distance from it (likely behind you if you're near the wall). Other than that, great video! I always loved Barioth's design (especially Frostfang's) and I enjoyed the 4th gen and Sunbreak fight (in LR and HR it felt too slow to the point I wish the HR fight was the LR one), but in Iceborne I absolutely loved Barioth and Frostfang!

[@DonBlueberry]

With sand barioth's armor it would actually make sense to have fur. What doesn't make sense is these monsters sizes being in the desert. There's not many large species living in most desert regions. The camel for example we know didn't even originate from desert regions. The same goes for barioth in fact. The fur would support warmth for cold nights in the caves and hunting nocturnally if needed during a particularly hot season.

[@reshi606]

GU Barioth still wall jumps but only in the F.seaway spawn area and the cave

[@legoregice5604]

was about to say that, he did it to me just yesterday

[@chinny4954]

I liked seeing the armor skill comparisons personally but comparing the looks is nice too

[@themurdock619]

I like the videos your making. Found them today. Hope you channel blows up and grows. Keep making them videos man. Looking forward to catching up on what you've made and what's to come.

[@HeavyWings]

Thank you very much!

[@vincentpey3929]

Thesw videos really make me apreciate some of the little unike touches like Barioths walljumps etc

[@kambo954]

Every video you make makes me fall in love with every monster. Thanks for this!

[@YGNLightmusic]

GG for the work you done on this episodes thats incredible.

[@HeavyWings]

I would really appreciate it if you all donated to me on Patreon. You get early access and credited at the end of videos! www.patreon.com/HeavyWings Correction: Barioth can jump off walls in Rise/Sunbreak and Generations Ultimate.

[@Vayne_Solidor]

Sand Barioth has such nice colors.

[@olivertheforgottenhunter2976]

Rise Barioth is capable of jumping from the wall and attack you, it happened to le recently, I was surprised that he was capable of doing that, it seems like he uses it on small areas, he used this move in the citadel zone that is below area 7

[@zacharyfeldman9842]

Yep, was thinking the same thing. Sunbreak barioth is way more fun than base rise, and that small circular Zone in the citadel often features wall jumps.

[@HeavyWings]

I've personally never seen him do it, ever. But someone else backed it up so I will add a correction in the description

[@olivertheforgottenhunter2976]

@@HeavyWings Hey, also, I wanted to say that this was an amazing video keep up the good work!. And have a happy hunting!

[@yikes6969]

Yea he definitely does when you fight him in the the citadel. Cant recall if i have seen it in the Frost Islands or not though. But SB version is great, he got quite a few new attacks. Funny his weakest attack is what faints me more than any of his others. When you are low on health or drinking a poition he will do that really quick lunge/jump and hit you with his teeth. That attack has just barely clipped me and got me so many times.

[@aproudbaguette3605]

I always loved Sand Barioth, its really a shame he hasn't returned

[@HeavensRipper-he4sz]

I REALLY love the talking about the armour designs. I hope you continue them.

[@HareHeadGFX]

One of the reasons I dislike Sunbreak was the lack of Sand Barioth, before sunbreak was announced I was looking forward to how 5th gen would try to revamp his fight since Iceborne did a really good job with subspecies. I'm hoping that they at least add Frostfang since the assets already exist and groudfrost may interact with wirebug jumping nicely.

[@magnabueno5360]

Hey so you probably won't see this, but I just found out barioth can jump off a wall in sunbreak!

[@lubbo5261]

He can also shot Ice tornados at you while he hangs on walls in Sunbreak.

[@PKshockwave]

My favorite monster in the entire franchise! 😍

[@Soul_evacuated_Ian]

Barioth is the definition of learnable (other than diablos). Barioth has a lot of moves that are quite difficult to dodge ,and it’s even harder to dodge when he chains these attacks. But when you hunt him a couple more times , you’ll find out that there are a lot of openings in his attacks. If you fight him even more ,you’ll even be able to predict what moves he’s going to do and act accordingly. His hunt goes from what seems unfair compared to other monsters on the same power level ,to a relatively easy fight.

[@bri1085]

But aren't most monsters like that? First few times they seem impossible, but eventually the fight becomes 2nd nature

[@Soul_evacuated_Ian]

@@bri1085 Even more so with barioth. Obviously this applies to all monsters ,but barioth is the most extreme version of that (excluding things like diablos and nergigante). He starts off as one of if not the hardest monsters you have fought yet,but after more hunts becomes one of the easiest monsters. Compared to something like buldrome, who starts off as easy and just gets easier.

[@bri1085]

@@Soul_evacuated_Ian wow did Bulldrome dirty.

[@Soul_evacuated_Ian]

@@bri1085 Yeah ,I kinda did ,but he deserves it.

[@therighttrousers343]

Frostfang armour is my favourite set because it colours really well for a disco look, if you mix it with some other layered. Aside from that, I like the female G rank sets for the elf knight explorer look.

[@kennethsatria6607]

I agree on the wind surfing I really like that idea and I feel it validates why its one of the only still flight capable psudeos.

[@dianslabbert504]

I have seen Iceborne Barioth fly to leave or enter an area a few times, but it seems like it happens only in a very specific area. That area being Area 6 of the Hoarfrost Reach map. I have seen it fly into the area 6 a few seldom times when it was hungry and after an Anteka. I have most often seen it fly when it leaves area 6 to go to 7 especially after it had a turf war with Fulgur Anjanath or Ebony Odogaron

[@Haiysei]

Love the video overall and good job on the way you did the armour evolution this time around, only thing I can really say is maybe focus a bit less on describing the armour's visuals but the parts where you describe what the armour represents in terms of function and armour skills is great, keep it up!

[@hawkevery]

If they do iceborne barioth with the sunbreak tail slam and the lighting from the prebuild of world barioth may take the top as my favorite monster again.

[@Diego_S822]

I swear I’ve seen high rank barioth jump off the walls in rise.

[@OnyxIbara]

The gunner armors look so good! I hope they bring back the gunner armors as layered armor

[@athos9293]

Beautiful

[@shieko3622]

hey, the part on armor focusing on design over skills is really cool, but you should note if a set has a skill unique to it (eg malzeno having blood rite or safi having seal)

[@darkwolf9637]

I think a funny coincidence that could be pointed out is that in monster hunter stories which came out before iceborn one of the characters had a barrioth named frost fang so the ice born variant being called frost fang is neat

[@SkiaSymphonia]

Frostfang is my favrouite of them. It was a later-added monster that wasn't designed purely for endgame-only players like the big dragons. Frostfang was the perfect sort of difficulty and challenge for someone like me. Plus it not flying around as much as regular was a big bonus. Definitely liked the new way of showing the armour. And I agree 100% about the fur on Sand's set.

[@barionyx9967]

Would love you to do an analisis on the resistances of the monsters and if any of them change between games, also comparing the look of armors between games could be nice! Love your videos!

[@gluttonyfang6674]

I remember crouching whenever he clings to the wall or when he is flying and fear for my life that he doesn't hit me when he dives.

[@Roughling]

I love the barioth armor, to the point of having a WIP cosplay build next to me as I write this. So hearing someone else talk about its design with some detail was really nice, most people ignore that kind of stuff and focus on the skills... Barioth was my second wall after Barroth in tri and has had a special place in my heart since. I'd totally forgotten about the cave thing, that might be a reason why he seems harder in my memory than when I fight him in newer games. Now I wanna replay tri tbh ^^

[@kamilion1]

barioth does do the wall jumps in sunbreak, they didnt remove it he just does it very, very rarely if even at all in a hunt.

[@draw2death421]

Yeah just like Zinogre can do his Ultimate in Rise and Sunbreak but its just extremely rare

[@biggnesss7192]

Nice video

[@gu3z185]

You didn't mention how his eyes randomly change color from game to game. Sometimes they're blue, sometimes they're orange. I don't know which I like more.

[@HeavyWings]

It changes from blue to orange based on rage. Blue when normal, orange when enraged.

[@nazrertwo5098]

I do think this style for the armor evolution is a step up. It's got more personality and is less "info zombie" seeing all the sets is also more entertaining than just reading a list of skills

[@dragonriderjohann7683]

i never knew that cave was in darkness mhtri thank you i learn something new everyday

[@HeavyWings]

Yeah that's what torches were for initially. Later games made it so all they did was repel smaller monsters, and GU scrapped them entirely.

[@dragonriderjohann7683]

@@HeavyWings that was amazing idea cause it shows that humans would have settled down in the cave or have it as hunting ground to train the senses sucks it was scrapped

[@kwagmeijer26]

One big thing missed with GU is they reworked his shoulder check so it angled it more forward as it rears back, making it a little trickier to dodge. It's my favorite version for that reason.

[@HeavyWings]

Sand Barioth's hipchecks do the same thing I think

[@1TheVelociraptor]

barioth does walljump on gen ultimate, but he does it on area 1 of the frozen seaway map (on the area 3 access climb) hunting hyper barioth in gen ultimate is a complete chore, but his weapons look so good i can't help it

[@deinonychus1948]

considering that TU3 seems to be all about Variants; I'd like to see Frostfang return! and this time he won't have to compete with a f**king Black Dragon!

[@lubbo5261]

Not just that, you could also very easy wall slam him all the time and his frozen ground attack can be negated by useing the iceproof mantle or tourch pots. They did Frostfang dirty in Iceborne.

[@deinonychus1948]

@@lubbo5261 "his frozen ground attack can be negated by useing the iceproof mantle or tourch pots" to be honest; that sounds like the intended way to counter Frostfang's frozen ground attacks but yeah I agree that they did him dirty, had they added him before Alatreon arrived, he would have been far more formidable! They also shouldn't have made him Tempered from the get-go... tbh it almost seems like they were supposed to add him in the previous TU along with Furious Rajang and Raging Brachydios but cut him out at the last second and the wall slam argument is kinda irrelevant as that was a major problem for all monsters not named Alatreon or Fatalis lol

[@solotheprowler335]

In sunbreak he still climb on wall he just rarely do it

[@Sunaki1000]

Oooooh, I thought he slips cause the Damage on his Wings made him weaker, and cause of Pain, but no your right, its the Spikes, they cant help him anymore, genius! My Favorite Batioths are Sand and Frostfang. Both are very cool, and interestingly very different. Sand whit his Focus on Tornados and Combos, and Frostfang whit his slower hig Damage Attacks and Mobility decrease.

[@thechugg4372]

Slight correction for Iceborne, the frost doesn't just "leave you open to attacks", if caught in it, frostfang will perform a slam on the caught hunters.

[@deinonychus1948]

People talk about whether certain sub/rare species/variants are going to be added but here's the way I see it; if a monster has moves that were present in older games that aren't present now, that there's a chance that there's a variation coming... take Molten Tigrex (and also Brute technically); the move where he stomps for a bit before roaring and the massive telegraphed roar are not present in Sunbreak Tigrex, despite the fact that sub/rare species/variant moves have been added to the base monster before and Sunbreak Tigrex could have pulled off these moves easily or more relevant to this video, Frostfang Barioth has the double slam attack; adding this move to Sunbreak Barioth would have been childs play, but they didn't... heck even added the upwards facing ice breath that Frostfang has (or the large ice blast attack) would have been simple, but the fact that they didn't means to me that they might be planning a comeback for Frostfang Barioth the same goes for Molten Tigrex as well

[@Lucaccino17]

Armor visuals is one of the most important aspects of the game, so I like the focus on that. However, personally i enjoy seeing what skills the sets had and how it has changed. It doesn't need to be super detailed, but a quick "it had these skills, and this skill unique to X monster did such and such."

[@xHideousFoxx]

I'd love to hear a short description of the armor and its practicality (but I'm insane!) like the part about the fur on the armor this time around. But also going on about how the female armors like to well not be armor by having openings on your guys or inner thighs etc!

[@ashtoncarter8298]

Okay that is very clever on how they made him more clever and versatility

[@uteriel282]

you can equip your armor with a skill that negates movement penalties in world. it negates debuffs to movement speed in water, snow and mud as well as snare moves like juratodus, barroths mud sling or barioths ice.
