Forum talk:Boss Monster Guides by Cyanninja

I was reading what you typed about barioth regaining stamina. Actually, if you read the game manual inside the Monster Hunter Tri disk container, it says boss monsters slowly regain stamina over time. Every time barioth runs away from my party to go eat a Popo, I always check to see if he is diving at me (so I can block) or diving at a pop.o Btw, you can dodge his dive by simply strafing him. (just run at a perpendicular angle to him, dashing isn't needed). Also if your close enough to the wall, his wall attack is rendered useless as it has a minimal range. If he dives at the popo, I position myself so I can throw a flash bomb in front of him while he walks to the popo. This denies him his stamina recovery and helps with free hits after the stun wears off (During stun he berserks with fury swipes and what not). After a while though, he would rage and after he finishes raging, he can suddenly fire his frost twisters again (suggesting he DID regain his stamina over time) Also, another nifty tip is when you know barioth is planning to leave the area, you can "entice" him to stay so you can soften him up more. For example, when you see Barioth limping away, you know he is trying to flee. This is when you sheath your weapon, and chase him, angle yourself so that when you throw a flash bomb, it will go off in front of him some ways (say 2 paces in front of barioth). As soon as he stops, toss that flash bomb. As you are tossing the flash bomb, Barioth should be trying to fly off. If timed correctly, you will hear a scream and barioth will land in front of you. Free Hits anyone? You can repeat this over and over, but at most I've only done it twice in a row (Third time, he flew too high to be affected) This trick is pretty common though, using flash bombs to knock monsters out of the sky, but I don' t think anyone tried it on an escaping monster.

Hope some of this data helps.
