It probably took me 7+ attempts to take down barroth for the first time in Tri, but that might've just been because I was bad (and trying to use a lance).
You Also carted to dumb shit in old games. Insta sprints, turn arounds, etc
In my experience most carts in previous titles were due to the clunkiness. Adding windups and tells to everything while Also giving people more options in movement Will inevitably make the game easier, But also more fair.
I'm pretty sure I had to swap to hammer to actually beat it (the flowery shock one iirc), but then one of the guys I started playing with was a 100% hammer-only main. So I've been a Greatsword enjoyer ever since.
iirc barroth in tri comes at an awkward time in the weapon tree where you only have access to weapons of lower sharpness. I forget if lance has innately improved penetration in that game. Even if it does, your damage won't be huge on a mobile monster if you're new to the game. Can you block the charge or do you need guard+? You don't exactly have a good lance set by then either...again, iirc.
