Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak has a ton of new armor sets and weapons to craft to keep seasoned hunters busy. In order to get through the new difficult Master Rank quests and roll credits, players will have to collect rare crafting materials to forge powerful gear at the Smithy.
One of the hard-to-get items in the Sunbreak expansion comes from a monster called Barroth. This Brute Wyvern originally comes from Monster Hunter Tri and can only be found in the Sandy Plains biome. For Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak players trying to get their hands on a Barroth Crown, this guide will go over the details.
How to Get Barroth Crown
In order to get Barroth Crown, hunters will need to face off against Barroth in Master Rank. This means that it's impossible to get a Barroth Crown in the base game, as it's only available as part of the Sunbreak expansion.
Regarding the percentage for acquiring the drop, there's a 6% chance of obtaining the Barroth Crown as a straight-up Target Reward, which is just a reward for completing the Barroth quest. There's an 8% chance of getting a Barroth Crown via Capture Rewards, which is, of course, tied to capturing Barroth instead of killing it. There's also a 6% chance of getting the monster part by carving Barroth's dead body.
And last but not least, the best chance for players to acquire a Barroth Crown is by carving Barroth's scalp. Now, the scalp can only be removed from Barroth by smacking its head with a blunt weapon. Players using weapons like a Sword and Shield or a Bow won't be able to easily break the crown, so make sure to use something like a Hammer, Great Sword, or Hunting Horn.
After enough damage is dealt, the Barroth Scalp will fall off, and players can carve it for a 70% chance of getting a Barroth Crown.
To easily start a Barroth quest, players can speak to Chichae and take on the 1-star quest titled "Barroth to a Great Start.'
To make things a bit easier, players can equip the Partbreaker skill, either through decorations or armor skills. Level 1 of Partbreaker adds 10% part-breaking damage; level 2 adds 20%, and level 3 adds 30%.
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak is available for Nintendo Switch and PC.
