Monster Hunter Rise has plenty of powerful foes for players to take on. Flying Wyverns in Monster Hunter Rise are quite the challenge to take down, and those confronting the Barioth are sure to struggle if they're unaware of how to exploit this monster's weaknesses. Make sure you know this icy foe's weaknesses and are aware of its resistances before fighting it so you can grab some excellent loot.
When fighting this beast, it's good to know what it's weak against or where to inflict that good old damage to slaughter the foe quickly. So here's Barioth's weaknesses, resistances, and drop rates.
All Barioth Weaknesses
Barioth Elemental Weakness
The main weakness of this fanged wyvern is fire, but if you have thunder or ice will still be more effective than using no element at all. Water does very little damage to this beat. Do not use ice, as the Barioth is immune to ice damage. Here are the locations where you should attack Aknosom for extra elemental damage.
It would be best to focus an elemental weapon on its thorns and head, as these are the areas where elemental damage is most effective.
| Damage Location | Fire | Water | Thunder | Ice | Dragon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Head | 20 | 10 | 15 | 0 | 15 |
| Neck/Back | 5 | 5 | 5 | 0 | 5 |
| Foreleg | 15 | 0 | 10 | 0 | 5 |
| Thorns | 30 | 5 | 25 | 0 | 10 |
| Abdomen | 10 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 |
| Wing | 10 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 |
| Hind Leg | 5 | 5 | 5 | 0 | 5 |
| Tail | 10 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 5 |
| Tail Tip | 15 | 0 | 10 | 0 | 5 |
