The Evolution of Barroth in Monster Hunter - Heavy Wings

[@Ellisian]

i always adored barroth's design, it has such an iconic silhouette. i never really wanted it to be any stronger or weaker, and it's been my go-to for gem grinds in world bc it's just such a comfort monster to fight over and over

[@Sunaki1000]

Well its T1, so you would never get any good Decos from that, but I agree its a fun encounter.

[@Ellisian]

@@Sunaki1000 oh i meant wyvern gems haha, i never really bothered with farming specific decorations cuz that was just too grindy for me

[@Sunaki1000]

@@Ellisian Ah ok. I grinded him in guiding lands for the Desert Biom.

[@godofsquirrels494]

Mine would be Tobi. He’s just so fun.

[@kennethsatria6607]

To me he was unexpectedly stronger in Rise than in World so I could only reliably do so with the latter, Rise's Barroth is kind of a pain

[@BarrothHunter80]

Despite disliking World, it has my favourite version of Barroth because it started the more prevalent use of him making Choo-Choo noises before charging.

[@fiend2839]

I have only played MHGU, Rise, and World, but out of those three games Barroth has always been one of the monsters to really stick out. The design elements stick out and a lot of their gear has a striking look, especially the rack of ribs lookin ass of a greatsword.

[@Evan-mt7bc]

Barroth is also usually a player's first introduction to damage type weaknesses. Blunt users want to focus on his head, gunners want to focus on his back and blade users want to focus on his tail. In addition if you have a way to inflict Waterblight you can instantly remove Barroth's mud which is a rather unique interaction, Jade Barroth shares this interaction but with Thunderblight.

[@cinema_roll6296]

Hope more brutes get added to Rise. Anjanath is my favorite monster I hope he gets a variant.

[@HeavyWings]

I think it's a bit late for more brutes tbh. It's gonna be endgame monsters from here on out.

[@DragoCubX]

I absolutely adore Jade Barroth, and by extension regular Barroth. Barroth was a major roadblock when I started out in Tri as a kid, and Jade just makes his fight more fun! Also I love his roar and "regular" sounds and cries. To be honest though, I found him to be a bit lackluster in World - the way they changed how the mud puddles work turns the mud shaking into much less of a threat, especially because it can't fly off very far.

[@nicollastomaz4940]

Well I guess my favorite barroth is the MHW one. The fight is easier that normal sure but I really like seeing him walking around doing its thing. Idk he adds up to the immersion I guess.

[@kennethsatria6607]

World suits him so well I thought he was a new original monster as a newcomer to the franchise

[@eduardojara6955]

Barroth was my wall I'm Tri. It took me over 7 times to beat him and I was terrife of him, more so than Lagaicrus. He was such a fun monster to fight

[@CyberJellos]

Well that makes sense. Tri was when barroth was the toughest, it was made significantly easier in future games.

[@efc2097]

For me it was gobul

[@dr.masiaka7048]

@@CyberJellos He was the Anjanath of his time,the wall for new players.

[@aaa1e2r3]

Honestly, I prefer the pre-gen 5 mud and snowman status over the field deterrents they became in World and Rise. It honestly felt more like a fair mechanic you had to play against, where if you didn't brink cleanser it became a dodging game you had to deal with, where now it's a field issue instead.

[@TheLichsLaboratory]

Always had a soft spot for Barroth after helping dozens of new players in Tri with their HR8 Baroth urgent. Barroth didn't pull any punches in LR Tri, but I'm okay with him being lower on the ladder these days. Like you said, he's a nice monster to occupy the low-medium monster difficulty niche, but I'll still fondly remember the plethora of baddies struggling with an HR8 Barroth lmao

[@shindoushuichi0287]

There seems to be a lot of lost to time subspecies in the third Gen that need to be brought back.

[@susu5331]

GU's G-rank Barroth is actually my favorite, it's quite challenging and its damage combined with the precise tracking make the fight really fun imo

[@redlord8438]

I'd love to see a new variant/subspecies of barroth

[@uteriel282]

barroth reminds me of a little puppy for some reason. non of his attacks feel threatening and instead i always think how cute he is shaking his body and throwing mud around.

[@kurjao]

Always felt like Jade's ridge was a little bit bigger than base Barroth

[@IReadTooMuchCrap]

One of my favorite monsters. Tri was my first MH game, and Barroth really gave me a a hard time when I was still learning the game's quirks.

[@Spinexus]

Since World was my first MH i absolutely love Barroth. I don´t even know why. Probably because of all the ecology with the mud, water and the turf wars with Jura.^^ he also teaches you about weak spots and is pretty scary if you still suck! xD

[@themelonzone38]

I recently introduced a good friend of mine to World and due to one time it interrupted our hunt together we've made it a tradition that whenever there's a barroth on the map, regardless of what quest we're doing, we go out of our way to kill it. One time, the target of our quest, Kulu Ya Ku, actually lent us a hand in the fight, which ended up in us capturing the Kulu instead of killing it in thanks.

[@jackofnotrades4350]

Heavy Wings! Jack here, commenting again for algorithm! This time I have 2 questions. 1. worst monster in the series? 2. would you consider showing us the armor again, but not worry about going through all skills? I miss at least seeing sets from previous gens since I only started playing since world. Thanks for all ur hard work. gg my man

[@hairlessgrizzly559]

Barroth is definitely one of my favorite monsters in the series. Dont know why, but the design is just perfect. For me, Barroth is THE brute wyvern, and the greatest mud puppy in the world

[@bobsmith8405]

My original wall in Tri, Barroth made me go to the online mode and get high rank Royal Ludroth sword and shield just to beat him in the village mode after 18 tries of fighting him. He has always been my top 3 favorite monster since then and earned respect.

[@nolangerrans6083]

Definitely one of my favorite monsters. It’s got such a cool design and I really like its behaviors. It’s like a hippo/T. Rex/bulldozer. While it’s not a hard fight I really enjoy fighting it for some reason anyway. Like you said he feels like the perfect early game big monster to introduce a lot of mechanics of harder monsters. Jade Barroth is also really cool and I would love to see it return as well

[@nazarinoutama8269]

I do love Jade Barroth and I miss him a lot

[@epsilon1372]

I love Barroth. He seems so chill

[@gamerdude491]

As a Gunlance/Switch Axe main, I've farmed this guy needing his ridge and feel like an IDIOT for not knowing you're supposed to do it with blunt weapons. You learn something new every day. Thanks for teaching me this, Heavy Wings.

[@vyomesh1999]

[@dewi2658]

Third generation MH is peak monster hunter. An amazing foundation for MH future titles.

[@ultralandonzilla3978]

I like the 5th gen barroth

[@mindscarp]

After Monster Hunter Tri, they added a noticeable pause at the end of each of Barroth's charge, which makes him noticeably easier.

[@growingcloud6743]

Barroth is my all time favorite monster, I like the Iceborne rendition of him best!

[@Roughling]

[slaps scalp] this muddy boi could fit so many newcomer walls in tri

[@mastew98]

I'm still salty for the gen 5 version because they removed its old roar animation, it was way nicer to look and more predictable than the odd instaroar shared with literally every brute wyvern in this gen. Even Glavenus and Uragaan have it but at least they use their original roar in rage...

[@HeavyWings]

Anjanath's roar animation is the worst thing to happen to Brute Wyverns.

I used barroth for weapon practice. As a result i grew to love him. He's one of my favorites, and a welcome sight in any game. I even got 3U this (or was it last) year just for jade barroth. Jade is cool, no pun intended, but I prefer the original

[@HareHeadGFX]

@@TheDreadlagg Thats not an excuse, besides so was portable 3rd

[@HeavyWings]

Rise/Sunbreak's attitude towards subspecies was quite strange, in many cases attacks that belonged to a monsters subspecies was given to the base form. It felt as if they weren't gonna have any subspecies for Sunbreak and then they only have around, like, 4. Which is still weird. Pretty sure Flaming Espinas is the only returning subspecies.

I hope I get to fight Jade Barroth eventually. Also, am I the only one who prefers the old bind statuses to how mud works in 5th gen?

[@Amatsu_storm_approach]

I prefer it as it is now

[@merouln700]

I don't really like Barroth in Rise, because it keeps covering itself in mud, and would often leave the fight making you run after him over and over again. In World, it would stay for a while without mud, allowing you to deal easier damage to him. Older Gen Barroths were a mixed bag, where the fight would be nice but the muddied status would slow the fight for nothing. I have yet to fight Jade Barroth though. I still thing he is an iconic monster, a really nice weak brute wyvern (although in Rise he feels less weak), and really liked that in World, compared to other brute wyverns, Barroth was small, it made him a bit cuter, like a pocket sized brute. Also World gave him a lot more animations that makes him goofy, clearly displaying that he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, notably through his Turf War with Diablos.

[@ivangreat4885]

I kind of don't like how they made barroth a desert monster when its very clearly supposed to be a savanna monster i mean your no going to find that much mud in a desert. Kind of feels like they cramped it in there for more desert monsters

[@HeavyWings]

Yeah 100%. To be honest the Sandy Plains was definitely a desert in Tri and now it's a desert - even the music has Arabian vibes. Tbh he fits in the wildspire waste quite well.

Not gonna lie, when there are no tools to cheat the fight (like the "cactus" endemic life trap in world and the entire silk binding moveset in rise) barroth feels like a big enough wall for noobs. It sure was for me like that in mh3... I still remember my first mh experience, playing in the arena on someone else wii and while jaggi was a joke, Qurupeco wasn't easy and barroth was quite of a threat for a noob In world and even more in rise, he is the noob of the situation

[@Sunaki1000]

Only Fought Barroth in 3U and Iceborn. I liked Worlds version the least, whit your increased Speed, its just to easy to deal whit him, making his hunt very boring. Jade is a bit anoying, his double Head Hammer, and U Turn are hard to avoid, same whit his Speedbuff. Best one is probably the base one. Hes much more fun to hunt, and neighter frustrating or boring, maybe a bit easy thought. I dont like himbas much as lets say Royal Spongebob, but im overall very positive about him.

[@kyogrecrown5869]

I like barroth. But I hate rise barroth. They made his hit zones beyond atrocious, and somehow made him annoying to fight. I remember spending the entire quest in rise swinging at his head with a hh and it only broke 20 ish seconds before he died.

[@AbelMusa]

[@eladblaier898]

Barroth just became pretty annoying to me. He’s easy but sometimes he just spams the charge and it becomes repetitive

[@rosegod444]

This is one of my least favorite monsters in the entire series (Cephadrome is my absolute least favorite), I genuinely don’t understand why they keep bringing it back when I’ve never heard anyone praise this thing

[@HeavyWings]

He's alright imo

[@deinonychus1948]

Cephadrome deserves his own place in hell, sure Plesioth jumps into the water and thus out of attacking range but at least he does this "sparingly" (for the most part) Cephadrome just goes "I'm just going to dive under the sand for half an hour... I also have all of Plesioth's most annoying attacks... have fun!!!"
