Strategy: Barrows Brothers Order

When it comes to the kill order, it is recommended that you start with Dharok, then you move on to Verak, then Karil, then Ahrim, and then Guthan and Torag.

This is based on the highest priority to pray against and then to the lowest. You will want to use your prayer on those that are harder to pray against instead of the lowest. If you are at a low level and you make the strongest ones the last opponents, you might die in the end when you are already up against them.

For the locations, you start with the Northeast, then Northwest, then the center in South, then the middle to Ahrim, then Southeast to Guthan, and finally Southwest for Torag.

Dharok

Dharok can be found in the Northeast who uses melee and whose attack is increased by missing HP. Dharok’s max hit is 64 at 1 HP, and there is special bonus damage for health lost. You need to pray melee against Dharok all the time, and he is weak to magic.

Verac

Verac can be found Northwest and is weak to magic, with a max hit of 15 with prayer on. The special for Verak is that he can hit through armor as well as prayer. You should also pray melee.

Karil

With Karil, you can find him in the South, and you should pray range. His max hit is 20, and he can lower your agility level. He is weak to magic as well as melee. You may want to use an Iban staff against him.

Ahrim

Ahrim can be found in the center, and he is weak to range with a max hit of 20. He can also lower your attack, defense, as well as your strength. Use a restore dose after fighting him.

Guthans/Torag’s

They are almost the same where you have to pray melee, and they are both weak to magic. With Guthan in the southeast, he has a max hit of 24, and Torag in the southwest has a max hit of 23. Guthan can also steal your health. Both are easier to kill than others. They also hit inaccurately. You can kill them easily.

Barrows Method

To do the Barrows mini-game, you just have to dig with a spade on top of the mound and enter the tomb. Your prayer will drain once you enter every 20 seconds.

You have to kill each brother, then use the staircase to leave. You may want to kill each brother for less than 20 seconds as not to drain your prayer. Prepare your prayers and gear before you enter. Kill the brothers first before you enter the crypts.

When you enter the crypts you need to find your way to the center, where your reward chest is located:

The path is random, remember you can always teleport out if needed. There will also be puzzles, here is the solution for them.

Tips and Tricks

Right-click and hold to use the duel ring so that you would not be interrupted by dangers. DO not equip negative magic attack items when you use prayer. Be careful when you open doors as brothers may spawn at the same time. You may also safe spot melee brothers when you are at a lower level.

Safespotting Barrows

You should run and trap them on the other side. Disable your run then, and attack the brothers. Do not use this against Dharok. Hold the control key then run away.
