How to beat the Barioth
The Barioth is a monster with many different attacks. It can bite you, scratch you, jump on you, charge you, whip you with its tail, throw ice balls at you or create ice tornadoes. To understand the attacks he will make, pay close attention to his body language, especially his tail. Depending on his posture, you can determine which attack he is preparing and which way it will go.
Because of its length, the Barioth covers very large areas with its attacks. Paradoxically, the safest area is in front of its mouth or claws, since it can only reach these areas with its paws or tail with difficulty. From there, strike while keeping an eye on the enemy's posture and dodge with a small step accordingly.
The Barioth is one of the most injury-prone monsters, which can make combat easier for you. Cut off its tail and it's one less big problem to deal with in battle. Destroy its claws and it loses its grip on the ice, causing it to stumble regularly. Break its fangs and it will miss some of its ice attacks and tire quickly.
