Here's to the upcoming release of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate!

For this quest, I am to hunt down a new large monster known as the Barroth. It lives in the Sandy Plains.

The Barroth is a land-based creature that prefers to live in or near muddy bogs. It likes to either hide in the mud or wallow around on it like a pig to get the mud on its body.

From there, it can shake of the mud to trap targets in it, slowing them down and making it easier to hit or eat them.

The Barroth's attacks include: tail whipping twice or four times in a row, using Mud Sport (Pokémon fans will get this), driving its head to the ground, and, as it's most powerful attack, charging towards you like a train or a rhino.

Watch out for the mud it releases. If you get muddy, you'll be slowed down a bit and you won't be able to use almost all of your items accept for the Cleanser water, or just wait it out. That animation of you recovering from might be a risk if you're still near the Barroth, though, but it's faster than it is to use a whetstone or a healing item.

Any weapon will work against the Barroth. It's just that the Hammer is probably the best on against it, what with its hard body and all. The weakest parts of the Barroth's body are its forearms, and it's also possible to sever its tail and eliminate the mud on its body parts by striking them enough times. The less mud it has, the less it's able to shake off to trap you.

Still, this was a tough battle for me that took a few tries, and I ended up fainting twice from this monster in this video. One more time and I would've failed the quest.

One strategy you can do is keep wailing on the Barroth until your weapon loses its maximum sharpness. When that happens, retreat far away enough from the Barroth, or just straight-up head to a different area, use a (mini-)Whetstone and any healing items there, if neccesary, and then go back to fight the beast with full sharpness.

--------------

Managing to sever its tail is a Subquest, and being able to destroy 2 anthills is another one, but I don't do either of these, here. To recover stamina/health, however, the Barroth might look for one of these anthills and destroy it, itself, feasting on the contents inside afterwards.

If you do flee from the area you found the Barroth in for a little while, it might leave you alone and fall asleep. This can help you get some free hits in before it wakes up and resumes fighting you.

Back at home, it appears that Cha-Cha has an idea for a new mask he could wear, but first I must gather the resources & materials for it.
