Aaargh, still can't beat Barroth. I doubt negate mud would help since his mud attacks really aren't that much of a problem. He just attacks really hard and he's so big that he can crush you with his tail from all sides but his right but even then it's still hard since he spins around a lot :/ Also I only have one more 2 star quest to go that I'm doing now (capturing the Great Jaggi).

Don't get discouraged: Barroth is as tough as some 3-star monsters, and tougher than a few of those as well.  One thing to keep in mind is that greed is bad: if you have a slow weapon, be satisfied with getting just one or two lumps in per charge.  You can actually dodge THROUGH the tail swipes, but the timing is tricky without the EvasionPlus skill, so don't rely on it.

Bring a water weapon if you have one, do NOT heal yourself when he is in the same zone as you, and leave Cha-Cha at home for this mission: you want Barroth to be predictable, and he won't be if he randomly charges Cha-Cha instead of you.

He's still talking arena. Cha-Cha isn't an option, and neither is Evasion Plus (probably)
