Barioth is a Large Monster in Monster Hunter World (MHW)ベリオロス (Beriorosu) in Japanese. It was added with the Iceborne Expansion on Sept 6th 2019. Barioth is a formidable flying wyvern in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne known for its agility and icy attacks.

 

The snow-white flying wyvern with huge tusks found in the frozen tundra. It uses its forelegs and tail to traverse ice with ease.

Barioth Details & Locations

 

Barioth Combat Info

A returning Flying Wyvern characterized by its powerful and fast attacks. With its potent tail swipes, sharp claws and pouncing, this foe, while tough, can still be beaten either solo or in a group

This fast-moving monster deals both physical damage and elemental damage, shooting out powerful blasts of chilled-wind that can inflict Iceblight.

  • It is advisable to focus on breaking its claws, as this will decrease the monster's mobility and leave it open to attacks for a few seconds.
  • Like any normal wyvern, Barioth is vulnerable to traps, so preparing your Palico with Flashfly Cages can help immensely, along with packing Pitfall Traps.
  • Ice Resistance, Resuscitate and Coldproof decorations are useful for this fight.
  • Hunters should try to stay in close range when fighting this monster, as it has some very long-range attacks.
    • When it does its huge leaping attack, hunters should try to roll to the left.
  • Your weapon should have white sharpness to take on this monster.
  • Kinsect Extracts:
    • Red: Head
    • Orange: Hindlegs/Body
    • White: Wings
    • Green: Tail
  • Enraged mode: Eyes will glow red instead of its natural blue.
    • Barioth enrages after every flash, once he gains his vision back.
    • Once his rage wears off, he is really weak, taking long pauses after attacks and not even his ice breath will work.
  • Partbreaker 3 is good as Barioth's wings and especially the fangs can be very hard to break.

 

MHW Barioth Combat Tips

  • Breaking Parts: Breaking Barioth's parts significantly weakens its attacks and makes the fight more manageable. Aim to break its face, arms, back, and tail. Breaking these parts alters Barioth's moveset, giving you openings to exploit.
  • Traps are Key: Barioth is susceptible to traps, especially shock traps and pitfalls. Bring materials to craft these traps, and use them strategically. Trapping Barioth not only provides openings for attacks but also helps in breaking its parts faster.
  • Target Weak Zones: Focus your attacks on Barioth's head for raw damage. If you're using elemental damage, target its claws for maximum effectiveness. The head takes the most damage overall, making it the prime target for both raw and elemental damage.
  • Flinch Shot Opportunities: Learn to utilize the flinch shot mechanic to your advantage. Use the clutch claw to grab Barioth's head, soften its parts, and then perform a flinch shot into a wall. This can create additional openings for attacks and give you a significant advantage in the fight.
  • Mounting Opportunities: Try to mount Barioth at least twice during the fight. Weapons like the Great Sword and Hammer are effective for mounting. Mounting not only deals damage but also provides valuable knockdowns, giving you more opportunities to attack.
  • Flash Pods for Control: Carry flash pods to disrupt Barioth's attacks. When it's airborne or preparing a powerful move, use a flash pod to ground it temporarily. This gives you a chance to reposition and avoid dangerous attacks. It is recommended that hunters bring Flash Pods and Flashbugs, to prevent this wyvern from pinning you down as you're healing, sharpening, or buffing.
  • Palico Support: Equip your Palico with the Radobaan Ball for sleep damage. This can lead to a free sleep on Barioth, allowing you to set up barrel bombs for additional damage. Additionally, consider using the Vigorwasp Spray for a free revive during the fight.
  • Dodge Effectively: Learn Barioth's attack patterns and practice effective dodging. Rolling into Barioth during its hip check attack grants you invincibility frames. When it jumps, running towards it can often help you avoid its aerial attacks.

      Most of the new comments are pure skill issue and can be ignored. This guy is actually a pretty fun fight, especially the frostfang variant. What you've gotta do is go for his claws FIRST, that way he wont be as agile. I'd recommend bringing pitfall traps and baiting him into them to have more time to hit his arms. He has several moves that can catch you off guard like his tail swipe and side bump, so knowing when to be aggressive is key. Also, for LS users, DONT go into special sheathe when barioth jumps back, he isn't going to charge at you, he's most likely going to shoot an AOE ice tornado at you (that unsurprisingly lasts longer than your counter I-frames). After you've dealt with the claws, you can feel free to be a tad bit more aggressive. He'll still move around a lot, but he'll be a bit slower and slide on the ice when he does his dive attacks. I'd recommend going for the tail next to shorten the area of his tail sweep (it helps a lot) and then if you really feel like it, you can break his head twice to get the fangs as a reward. One last thing, Barioth has a Spinny dive move where he flies up and dives down at you. This move does a ton of damage to those without good armor, and he can almost instantly go into a different move after a second or two if you haven't broken his claws. You'll know when the claws are broken, they're black and easy to see in the ice if you have a quick second to check.
      I hope someone finds this guide that I just glued together useful because I'm really getting tired of the barioth slander. I personally love this guy, took a while to grow on me but now he's my favorite monster. Meant to be a skill check before you get into iceborne main story. Come on guys, if you're coping from the frost cat, how are you ever going to do Nargacuga or Tigrex? Honestly, spend less time ranting on the wiki and reddit, and more time becoming a better hunter. Trail and error is just a part of the game, and if you don't like failing and evantually ovecoming challenges, then MHW just isn't for you.

        A lot of people hate Barioth, I did at first too. But he's not so bad. His attacks are fast, but almost all are obvious. His ice tornado is too big for what it is, but it's his only ice move. I fought him again in the guiding lands when he was tempered, and it was a lot more fun than my first encounter since I tried other weapons at that point. Once you break a claw, he slows down a lot. Once you break the other one, I almost feel bad. You have to read the monster, and keep your pace up. There's a few solid ways to prevent ice blight.

          fighting this monster again with no source of invulnerability, guard, or agility makes me want to unalive. as previous posts said, this monster is too aggressive. being aggressive with annoying moves = not fun. my experience with 3 aggressive wyverns ranked from least annoying to very annoying. tigrex (3x bum rush and rocks) > nargacuga (tail slam and tail spikes) > barioth (ice spam and tail whip).

            I believe that the fight is actually fun... but only after you break his wings. Before that this monster is completely ridiculous. This guy is constanly dashing around with little to no openings also it is pretty hard to destroy wings if you are not running blunt weapon, that would have been fine by me if not for the fact that this monster is complete cancer before you break wings. I think the attacks itself are fine and even fun, but this monster is just way to aggressive. And finally health pool. It is just way to large for a monster this fast. Coral Pukei-Pukei has 18k health, but it is not hard to hit and most attacks are stationary, yet this guy is 200 times faster and has insane health pool. The only redeeming part is that damage isn't to high with only exception being the slam attack

              On my first bow playthrough I was deleted in less than 10 min on my first try, though I had killed him with IG about 10 times before with another character. But then I switched my Palico to max lvl Lightbug Cage and that simple move changed EVERYTHING. Killed him in about 20 minutes with only 1 faint (fainted when it walked into Viper Kadachi and they duo-banged me).

              As I see it, there are two strategies in this fight. First - patiently wait for openings and go all in once you have it (typically, after his enrage). Second - maximise control - sleep, paralisys, traps, flashpods, dung, (even ghilie mantle is surprisingly good with right timing) those dildos on the ceiling in the cave, try to lure it into Kadachi or Anjanath, poison, bomb, wallbang etc. It basically keeps him stunned or KO'd for around 25% of the time. Also shield Palico may be good, but I didn't level shield so I don't know for sure.

              And in both cases it's easier with a swift (fire) weapon if you're not experienced enough. He punishes long animations viciously.
              And during his enraged mode - it is better to just wait'n'dodge it out, attack hard later when he's exhausted.

              Good luck!

                He keeps you in your toes all the time so you have to be quick and into the game. He hits hard and he hits fast. I already said the skills that I use so I’m not going to mention those. I beat him with DB and LS and I think personally those are really good weapons for him. This is the first really challenging monster in the expansion so if you lose it’s not that bad(It took me 10+ tries lol). Fire and/or blast works against him. I don’t think there are any Fire weapons at this time though so it might not work. If there isn’t I recommend the Defender weapons. These do blast damage which really helps against his massive (at the time) health pool. When it comes to actually fighting him always try to break both wings. It is tricky and it will take patience but it happens eventually. There are falling boulders in zone that he goes to so use those to your advantage. Once you beat him I highly recommend his weapons against the next brute Wyverns. Remember don’t give up!!! Happy hunting and hope this helped!

                  If you are stuck on MR3 blizzard blitz, there are a few things that will help you. 2 Ice spikes in sector 9 of the map. So basically, u need shock trap and pitfall traps ready at the same time when boss runs into sector 9. In sector 9, on the ground there are 2 clusters of cockroach-like small monsters, place the trap near them (right beside). So you set up 1 trap, boss trigger it, use kinsect or ranged stuff to hit the ice spike on top and set the other trap at the other cluster. Advisable to avoid attacking boss in sector 9 right after you trigger the 1st ice spike and focus on setting up the 2nd trap due to time constraint. You can start attacking after the 2nd ice spike.

                  If that is not enough and you face timeout, it is time to buy large barrel, normal barrel (with timer) and cultivate devil blight mushrooms. Craft Mega barrel using them. You need around 30(min)-50 mega barrels if boss keeps destroying them with ice breath. Also, ensure you craft the bombardier charm 3 and ensure you have like 5 farcaster (you will only use them when boss limps back into the nest). You need to carry 2 large barrel, 2 mega barrel, 1 farcaster, 1 stack of devil mushroom so that you can trigger 4 minimum mega barrels (other 2 by crafting) per trip. Also, it is vital for you to unlock central camp 7 (important) to save travelling time.

                  Each time boss is enraged, I will advise you to run back to camp 7, boss will follow you and this makes your subseuqent fight a bit more easier because now your battlefield is reset to the starting area where you 1st encounter barioth and your camp is RIGHT next to that battlefield, which makes restocking of mega barrel easy without farcaster. I will advise you to drop 1 mega barrel after boss uses ice breath and get boss to dive into it to trigger the explosion and then redo the same for remaining 3 barrels or you can do 2 barrels per dive. Take some practice to figure out how to trigger the boss to dive into your barrel (which is why you need 50, I used around 20++ mega barrels).

                  I am using beotodus alpha with earplug and most importantly, 3 resistor jewel for blight immunity to help in escaping boss when he is enraged.

                  When boss limps back to nest ( Boss limps back to nest before my 10 mins countdown starts so I think this strategy is viable):
                  This is the most important part because you are maximising your damage before timer runs out. Do the following:
                  1. Set up 2 mega barrels near the head of the boss.
                  2. Set up 1 trap near the barrel.
                  3. Craft back the 2 mega barrels.
                  4. Place the timed normal barrel to trigger explosion and move back a bit.
                  5. Boss will wake up and move a bit before getting trapped again.
                  6. Quickly, place 2 crafted mega barrels and timed barrel to trigger the 2nd explosion.
                  7. Once done, DO NOT run back to camp 7, use farcaster to travel back because you want the boss to stay in the resting place so that when you exit the zone, the boss will go back to sleep again for you to trigger sleep-bombing again. If you run back to camp and boss follows you, he may not sleep because he is now in a new area.
                  8. Once back in camp, restock mega barrels, large barrel and traps. Repeat step 1 to 7 until boss is dead. I think it took me 1 to 2 restocking trips this way to end his remaining hp.

                    I fought him with paralysis CB with some MR armor with focus and artilery. I have to say surviving the first minutes of the fight was a real challenge to me, but eventually I wore him down. Palico was the mvp with sleep allowing me to magabomb + SAED his face. Paralysis kicked in a few times allowing for good damage or tenderizing. He got knocked back a few times from the block discharge too, which never really happened before. All in all fun fight, took about 30 min.

                      So guys I just came to give some tips even they aren’t good. So…Ice resistance helps and so does defense boost. Divine blessing will help against his hard hits. The best skill is probably evade window. Constitution helps. I always take health boost in every fight. That’s all I have to say! Remember don’t give up!! That’s the hardest part!! Happy hunting!!

                        Facing off this bastard again after you finally have some strong gear is so damn satisfying

                        Breaking both of his wings in the first two minutes of combat, tail following soon and at this point you are merely dealing with a cripple

                          I was so close to beating him on my second try. I did so much damage but ran out of time, but honestly I dont get why everyone hates this monster. in my opinion it was really fun fighting him and I was sweating so hard.

                            I don't understand the hate towards the pseudo-wyverns family. They bring a different challenge to the game. True wyverns, like Rath and Legi, fly way too much and flash pods render them useless. The brute wyverns are too predictable, maybe except for Glavenus and Deviljho just because they are so big. Fanged wyverns are boring. And we only got second-grade Plesioth for the piscine wyverns.

                            For people that are having problems hunting pseudo-wyverns (Tigrex, Narga, and Barioth family), maybe change your strategy a bit. Treat them like a flash-invincible Rathalos, best fought in wide and open areas. You don't chase a flying Rath around, you wait for an opportunity to throw flash pods.

                            Just because pseudo-wyverns are always on the ground, doesn't mean that you should always chase them around too. Engaging a charging Tigrex? Death sentence. Bring dungs to force them out of inconvenient areas. Since they stay on the ground, you'll have such a little window to do anything, so don't get greedy. And most importantly, they're much more aggressive than their flying brethren, so let them come to you instead, dodge, counter, rinse and repeat. Staying on the aggressive at all times like when you're hunting true wyverns doesn't work here.

                                Just fought this dude for the first time a few minutes ago, typing this as I'm stocking up all of my used potions, and decided to give heads up for our new hunters.
                                I was using a full Beotodus set because of full Earplugs (best decision of my life lol), with a maxed out Defender Dual Blades. 5 minutes in and had to swap for hammer to abuse the slopes and edges. If you can't fight it properly in flat terrains or small areas, force it out either by Dungs or lure it when it's enraged, then use environmental damage by the frozen pillars, use the slopes for your weapons sliding attacks or just wall-slam it. Just go in with Master Rank armor, still seeing other people using Gaurdian Armors so late in the game, I nearly got 2-shotted even with my boosted 700 defense armor.
                                Hope y'all stay healthy and, happy Hunting!

                                  Did you ever hear about the hunter who used fire element duel blades and master mount skill to become faster and more aggressive than the beast it's self? He was spinning like a tornado on the ground and leaping off ledges and swinging from wedge beetles to mount the beast over and over until finally under a whirlwind of relentless blade slashes the Barioth lay dead?

                                  Well sadly he got eaten by a deviljo while sleeping but the point is he could take down a Barioth no problem and so can you hunter. May the sapphire star guide you.

                                    I FINALLY DEFEATED HIM!!
                                    I first took a bow on him and lost a crap ton. But in the end I decided I would blow the dust off my ol’ long sword ( and will probably get some smack talk from some lowly Hunters who feel good about berating such an awesome weapon).
                                    But I digress. I pulled out Old Faithful ( Defender Katana V ) and used the scoot-n-slash tactic and only had faint.Also I used the full MR Rathian armor. I also clutch clawed him multiple times for the slinger pods. And if you clutch claw him be sure to blast him in the face to be sure to do loads of damage. I didn’t bring a bunch of health stuff ( very foolish of me). All I took was herbs, potions, and mega potions. As for other equipment I took the gilie mantle and health booster ( all I ever use in the game). At about forty-eight minutes left, I got a little reckless and threw my shock trap on the floor and hopped for the best and miraculously captured him. This probably took me no more than five or six tries ( I had lost count). But all in all I was the victor after a long and frustrating battle. Thank you for taking your time to read this. Have a great day!

                                        The real hard thing about his Assigned quest are the hosts running it: you join them to farm the monster and get some multiplayer bonus rewards, and they cart like meteors 10 minutes in the fight and pop the "Quest Failed" message, making you lose time. So, if you want to farm this guy, break what you need early in the run and then witness the "dance of (the host's) death" with your heart in peace.

                                          • Hello my fellow hunters, mortals seem to be having a problem with this monster so I thought I could shed some light on some forbidden tips. This is the toughest monster in Iceborne up to this point. Partbreaker 3 is a must. Coral Pukei Pukei´s armor bits have Partbreaker on them. Blunt weapons also work really well on his wings so if you can use hammer realtively well (Or other blunt weapons) and have partbreaker 3 you should use it. (I broke his wings with a hammer in the first 5 minutes of the fight). Also GET MASTER RANK ARMOR, some people think that don´t need it but they absoulty do. Aim for is wings and tail (Don´t focus on the tail if you have a blunt weapon) because after the partbreaks he is crippled for the rest of the fight. Anyway dads yelling at me to go to sleep so good luck my fellow hunters

                                              Most annoying Monster I ever fought, he'll lunge at you multiple times while you run after him and exhaust your stamina, then whack you with his insanely long reaching Tail and probably lunge or just Ice tornado the crap out of you, escape out of your shock traps insanely fast and sometimes just bellyflop onto you after running rounds around you as if it's making fun of your slow stubby legs. With that said he's not the strongest, although he can easily stun and kill you if you have less than half your health left so constant healing is important. Died the first time I went against him with my IG, changed to Greatsword and spent 40 minutes blocking, running and a few times hitting his wings and head in so it does benefit you if you take the more careful route and don't just rush it, good luck with this annoying bastard!

                                                  Not enough HP and jumps too slow, It's too easy and fight ends way too fast which is not fun at all.
                                                  His HP should be around 50k and he should be able to jump around you much more frequently, currently he is slow af

                                                    if you guys are doing 50 shades of white where you have to defeat a huge barioth. DO NOT PANIC! If you guys can face your fear of his size then all you need is well timed attacks and wall. For me i was using furious Rajang armor set and his damage was lower than normal barioth! believe me I tested. But he is pretty hard since his size doesn't really affect his speed so hitting him is kinda a problem. So trust me you will have an easier time fighting 50 shades of white than normal barioth.

                                                        What if, we added a monster from a previous title to the expansion, and instead of having the players learn it's moves so that way fighting it is fun and rewarding, we just made it ultra aggressive and have it so you have to break a part before the fight becomes fair? Haha... unless?

                                                          with 7 minutes left. Finally it ran and falls asleep. Of course i got with capture lol

                                                            So what I do every time I hunt a Barioth is cut off its tail. Makes everything so much easier. Doing this I’ve never killed a Barioth without breaking every part of its body. And breaking its forearms after cutting off the tail makes everything even easier. At the start though? F*cker won’t ever stop moving. Use flash-pods when it starts flying.

                                                              This fight was pretty hard when you start the fight out but it becomes easier as you progess. All i used was banbaro set, All B except the gloves (which was a A) and a fitness charm. Mantle i used was Vitality(+) and Iceproof. Decor you can use is ice res, 2 divine blessing, one vitality, blaze jewel, one destroyer, satiated/expert, steadfast and using the best fire weapon. i am also a bow user so i used anjanath flamebow 1. Just break his wings first then once you do that, he will slow down by a lot. I also use a lot of flash pods and some traps to help me out and this fight took me 34 mins with no faints. hope this helps people who are struggling x)

                                                                Fourth time fighting this monster. For everyone who says he is over powered I respectfully disagree. Everyone’s better at fighting different monsters. I trash Kushala Daora, but my brother loses almost every time. I do agree however that Barioth has a little to much HP. Thank you for taking your time to read this. Have a great day!

I had a very nice hr set and even a simple tobi was hard to beat but as soon as I got mr armor and a mr weapon that was easy to obtain I started running through all these mr monsters like I used to in hr

Just wait him out in the first encounter and he exhausts himself. You can use poisoned meets on him when he retreats to his cave.

                                                                    • Anonymous

Then i opened a bottle of vodka and got drunk...i'm 35 and this was terrificly satisfying for and old player like me.

Break the wings first and he's crippled the rest of the fight, and once he gets exhausted, the fight becomes a cake walk. Make sure to use the falling rocks in the cave-esque area that he goes into. I used longsword for him and getting the counters was very strange since he was so mobile but once you start baiting his body check, you can maintain the higher levels of spirit gauge real easily. Beat him second try and without nullberries (cuz i'm stupid and i forgot).

Absurd as a DB user but I was just dodging and weaving the first time. Decided to man up on second try and chase rather than dodge/weave and took 30mins. Still a ridiculous first fight. I was expecting Tigrex and Narga to be harder because of MHFU ptsd. Also that ice vortex spam is bs.

He’s fast, he hits hard, and he takes a pretty solid amount of punishment to put down. Someone below had pointed out that the fight gets easier as time goes on; this absolutely true - baiting his enrages with flash pods is a great way to neuter his offense once he’s exhausted. Force out his enrages and capitalize, you’ll come out on top.

                                                                                  • The bad news: The fight is most difficult right at the start. The Barioth hits ridiculously hard across a wide area and moves like a cat on the freeway, making this fight an absolute nightmare for slower melee builds. Staying on the move is staying alive. The good news: As you damage him the fight gets progressively easier. His arm spurs that he uses to dig into the ice are relatively easy to break, and once they are it significantly impedes the Barioth's mobility. He can be knocked out of the air, but it takes some practice to know when you have enough time or should just dodge. Important note on capturing: his trap hitbox is really wonky, as is the detection for where his head is when you throw your tranqs. Choose your placement with care.

Everything else felt challenging but balanced and doable for the point they were introduced...I could comfortably take each of them down in under 20 minutes with my gear. Barioth is just......too damn much for a first boss. When I fought him the first time it took 47 minutes with a Flammenbeil+....the two kills I did recently for the event weapon took over 30 with an azure rathbringer. This thing has no business being as early in the game as it is, it sets an unbelievably depressing standard for the game going forward that you quickly realize isnt even true after the next few fights. I have no desire to get anywhere near it until I'm vastly overpowered and can bring it down with far less effort...as it stands it needs to lose about 1/3rd of its hp to be remotely balanced for where you fight it and even then it's probably too much. Tldr; Dont let this asshole ruin the game for you like it almost did for me...it's woefully out of place as a first major boss.

Barely defeated him with gamma armor and a taroth weapon. Guess it's time to grind out MR gear. Fair warning for ranged folks, he loves to jump and land on you repeatedly, then he will shoulder-side-step bash continiously.
