Question about Barrows...

[Roberthree]

If I skip killing 5 of the brothers, and run straight to the chest do I still get a prize?

 

 

 

I know I have to kill the guy at the chest. (Or not! see below)

 

 

 

EDIT- Oops, clicked the wrong link. Could someone move this to the other H&A sub-section?

You don't have to kill all six brothers, but the odds of getting a barrows item are greatly increased by doing so... I highly recommend killing them all.

I wanted runes :P

 

 

 

I'm not strong enough to kill them all, but I bet I could kill one of the melee guys.

 

 

 

IMO, Getting 50 death runes would be great.

Hmm, that's a lot of effort to get some death runes... there's much easier ways lol.

 

Jellies and Infernal Mages drop them quite frequently if that's all you're after.

*and now for the thrilling tale of my daring Barrows adventure*

 

*I decided to make a suicide trip to test the waters*

 

I expected a gruesome death when I arrived at the Barrows, For this reason I only brought a few of my best things. I withdrew My Rune Plate and legs from the Caniffis Bank, and equiped them along with my Dragon Longsword. I was never a fan of Caniffis, it always smelled bad. But back to the tale...I brought 3 sharks with me and my druid pouch. As I ran south towards Mort'Ton I was assaulted by several ghasts, but by a stroke of luck most of them missed me...I arrived at the Barrows with all 3 of my sharks still fresh and tasty. I thought about who I should face (And die to) first. I knew how deadly Dharok was, and I was hoping to see this mighty swing of his. I dug over Dharok's crypt and entered. I quickly switched my protect from melee prayer on and opened his coffin. I braced myself for what was to come...But all was quiet. I looked down into his tomb and found a tunnel. At this point I remembered the tales of the danger of Dharok in the tunnels, but I was going to die either way.

 

I entered the tunnels, I was alert and keeping both eyes open to watch for Dharok's mighty axe. I opened one door, then another, then one more! after I had opened several doors I began to think I was safe. I opened a door and found a long slender tunnel. I entered and before I could move I saw a red "35" near my head. Dharok was there! I quickly go to switch my protection prayer on, but I'm out of prayer! I begin to panic and I run. That fool Dharok got stuck behind a rock! I began to think I might be able to get out of here alive! I loosened the lid on my Ectophial ready to pour it on the ground. I ate one of my sharks and continued. As I entered another door I was attacked! But not by an axe, but a hammer! Torag was attacking me! I dodged his blows and ran. I shut a door in his face and wedged it shut with a rock. I turn around and realise "I'm in the treasure room!". I eat one more shark and open the chest. Suddenly Dharok was attacking me again! I dodged his axe once, but then got hit by his blunt edge. I began to panic, I quickly took what I could from the chest. Everything began to shake violently! I dumped the Ectophial onto the ground quickly and escaped. I took a deep breath as I reached the safety of the Ectofungus. I checked my inventory to see what I was able to grab and I saw....a warspear, yeah right. It was 106 coins. I was happy to be alive and I'll never forget my low leveled barrows trip...
