| bigjon said: ok, so I finally figured out Barroth. The lance is the way to go, I beat him using just 5 mega pots in about 20 min.... Considering w/ the great sword I lost due to time running out I would say the Lance is a good fit. The only moves that gets me NOT due to me just being to agressive is the tail spin... lucky it is really not to bad damage wise. Basically all you have to due is let him charge into your shield he will hit it and stop, while he is tail whipping (the one at the end of the charge) give him 2-3 impact shots to his arms and underbelly. This is slow, but until you get better weapons it is pretty fail proof but again slow. It take between 20-30 min. 15 at best. |
If you're good with the lance, yes, that's the best weapon to use first time fighting this beast. You can hit specific spots with ease, and you can defend when he goes on a rampage (it's kinda hard to cut his tail off, though).
Personally, I'm very good at dodging, so Long Sword is the best for me against him. He'll hit me 3-5 times at most, while I combo his legs and arms. Constantly falls down and paralyzes, giving me enough time to cut off his tail as well 
PS: I finally got a Rathian Plate today, when playing online, I have Health +50, Hearing, Fire Resistance +10 and Reduced Stun, all amazing skills! Kinda missing marathon runner though, I'm only using Barroth set now along with a Lance.
