Barroth seek out ants, their favorite snack, and mark their territory with mud. They attack potential rivals with their devastating charging attack.In-game description
Barroth is the mud-covered battering ram of the Wildspire Waste. It is a stocky brute wyvern that loves nothing more than charging straight through you. It is back in Master Rank in Iceborne, still caked in mud.
Out in the wild
Barroth lives in the Wildspire Waste, where it roots around for ants, its favorite snack, and knocks over anthills to get at them. It marks its territory with mud and wears a hardened coat of it like armor. It does not share well: Jyuratodus lives in the same swamps, and the two fight over turf.
Where you meet it
It first shows up in the Low Rank 3★ assignment The Best Kind of Quest in the Wildspire Waste. It is also a quest target in High Rank and Master Rank.
How the fight goes
Its big move is the charge, a long, heavy rush straight at you. It also flings its mud armor off its body, and the mud puddles it leaves slow you down. Getting hit can leave you muddied or with waterblight, and it has a roar too.
Hunter’s tips
- Pay attention to the mud. While it is muddy, water hits hard. Once the mud is gone, fire is its big weakness, with ice close behind.
- Water weapons and slinger shots knock the mud off bit by bit.
- Break the head and the tail can be severed. Every main part can be broken both with and without mud.
- It is easy to poison, paralyze and blast. Pitfall and Shock Traps both work.
