Barioth Overview

Barioth - Tips & Tricks

With fangs as long as swords, Barioth is a ruthless predator that has thrived in the cold grounds of Hoarfrost Reach. An extremely agile monster, it deals ice damage with its ice breath & can summon mini tornadoes from the ground.

Preparing For Barioth

Bring A Fire Element Weapon

As an ice-elemental monster, Barioth's biggest weakness is fire. Bring along a fire element weapon to do the most damage with every hit.

Gear Up With Ice Resistance

Although not all of Barioth's attacks have Ice Damage, its Ice Breath lingers and can easily hit players as they try to dodge other attacks. Having Ice Resistance will at least lessen its damage.

Becomes Less Dangerous the More Parts are Broken

Barioth actually starts to tumble and fall when its parts are broken. Break the arms to hits it mobility, its head for ice attacks, and severe its tail to shorten its attack range.

Break Arms To Stop From Wall Climbing

Aim to Break the Forearms

When in icy caves, the Barioth will climb walls and jump to attack. If you want to prevent this, break the extruding bones on its forelimbs so it won't have anything to grapple the walls with.

Flash Monster While In The Air

Flash while in the Air

While in the air, you can flash the Barioth to make it fall down to the ground and incapacitate it. This will also cancel any of its attacks while airborne.
