*SIGH* Another Barrow's Guide(Up to date)Complete!

[SnWRifleman]

 

 

 

Well, I'm going to be getting pictures all along the way. But I have found an effecient way to do Barrows quickly, safely, and easily! I am not a POH type person, but I am a slayer dart person. I do not use the Kharyll portal or whatever, but I do use Slayer Dart, though it can be substituted for fire bolt+.

 

 

 

What's the difference from this guide and other AOW Guides? This is up to date, showing you the pinnacle of weapons that can be used today. These include broad bolts and the rune c'bow. You see many guides using adamant arrows and mage shortbows. That's a big nono, and these broadbolts are much better.

 

 

 

IMPORTANT: READ THIS!! Barrows is about how quickly you do it. You must kill all 6 brothers in order to make a profit. If you kill 5, your chances of getting something good is low. Also, before you loot the chest, in the chest room, kill a couple of those skeletons to get 12-13 kill count. Don't spend a lot of time doing it either. Either kill the skeletons in the chest room, or kill rats before you go in.

 

 

 

Also in this guide, you will not be needing any piece of Barrows equipment.

SKIT

 

 

 

Items: Spade, and prayer potions(4), which minimizes space reduction. Based on your level, you will need at most 4. I use 3 to be on the safe side.

 

 

 

Skills: 55 Slayer(Slayer Dart), 70 defense, 60 range, 70 strength, and 60 attack for dragon weapons. You also want to be able to use Protect From Melee, or else don't even try, and at least 60 magic. These stats help you go through this as quickly as possible.

 

 

 

QNFT

 

Priest in Peril

 

Started Nature Spirit

 

Started In Search of the Myreque for shortcut*OPTIONAL BUT SAVES FOOD*

 

 

 

I will not be writing alternates for my guide. You will either follow it, or find an alternative.

 

 

 

HTGT

 

 

 

 

 

EQIP

 

 

 

 

 

This can be edited but this is the cheapest way to do it. You might want to use a teletab to save 2 spaces in your inventory.

 

 

 

IOTB

 

Here is the order on how to do Barrows. NOTEYou will not need to use Prayer against Guthan and Torag. Though they can hit high, with good defense and the rune platebody, they won't be a problem. You might be wondering why your mage bonus might not be so high. It is because their armor is so weak against Magic, you will hit then 9/10 times with barely any mage bonus. That doesnt not mean to get it to -90.

 

 

 

 

1. Dharok The reason why Dharok is first is because he is the strongest. You do not want to run out of prayer potion against him. Make sure you MAGE DHAROK.

 

 

 

2. Verac The reason why he's second he because, he's not as dangerous as Dharok, but he can hit very high. He hits through prayer, but not as hard, if you wern't using it. So don't think if you use prayer, it wont matter! Make sure you MAGE VERAC

 

 

 

3/4.Ahrim/Karil Either can be next. I suggest Ahrim, but many suggest Karil. Karil hits very high without prayer on, so make sure you have a ppot left for him! Make sure you MAGE KARIL and RANGE AHRIM.

 

 

 

5/6. Guthan and Torag They are the weakest of all. You can kill them in a few seconds of Slayer Dart. You do not need prayer for Torag or Guthan, but Torag hits a little bit harder than Guthan. If you can drink a dose and have 3 doses left, I would use prayer. The reason why they are last is because you will probably be out of prayer(NOT POTS)before these guys. So since you don't need prayer for them, you might as well have 0, instead of 30 and waste that 30 prayer. If for some reason you run out of prayer before Ahrim and Karil, you can go and kill these guys first. Though Torag can hit hard, you do not necessarily need prayer for him. He can hit 23's but just gobble a shark and keep maging him.

 

 

 

If you find that one of their sarcophagi lead to a tunnel, just skip them and keep going. Do not enter the tunnels until you have killed 5 of the other brothers.

 

 

 

TNLS

 

 

 

 

Once in the tunnels, take a quick, brief look of your surroundings. You need to figure out which of the ladders you came down into. Once you find out, keep going through doors, trying to make it to the center. You will find that you can go into only one of the doors. You will know when you are at the final door if you get the puzzle.

 

If you fail the puzzle, the door will change, and you will have to run around and look for it again. Do not try to rush through it at a fast attempt to avoid being interrupted. No, you will probably mess up and then take more time to find the door.

 

 

 

At the final door, here are the puzzle answers. Most are self-explanatory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

KLCT

 

Kill Count, a counter for your kills. You should have at least 11-13 before you finish. Don't go past 15 though. Things to kill:

 

Bloodvelds

 

Rats

 

 

DO NOT attempt to fight the spiders. They have very high defense and health.

 

 

RWDS

 

 

 

 

Don't worry about losing money. Unless you die, you will get your runes back plus more. You often get bolt racks. Slayer dart also pays for itself. You get atleast 150 death runes and a lot of mind runes from it. You also get additional chaos runes and blood runes. You also get money from it.

Me for making this guide

 

 

 

Any tips and help are welcome, and feedback is welcome!

 

 

 

Please do not flame me about making this guide, because I made it for you guys because I love doing Barrows, and it just thrills me.

[lurtz1122334]

great guide, i just need stupid slayer dart :D

[asianboy7o7]

as you stated yourself they have a low mage defense why are you wearing mage offense

 

 

 

i dont see the difference between your guide and other guides really

[SnWRifleman]

The mage offence helps me hit more. Even though they do have low mage defense, if I'm wearing full plate, I'll hit less often. It also just helps me go faster and use less doses of ppot. And every other one always tells you to use a magic short or something because that was the best before Rune c'bow and broad bolts. There are also differences. And thanks!

[Pirate_Felix]

it isnt very advisable to do veracs as second brother... you have leftover prayer from dharok and just spoil it at verac, do karil as 2nd, then ahrim, it isnt hard to do ahrim without prayer.

[compfreak847]

That outfit is bad, unless its different at very low magic levels. I wear full guthans with -60something magic, and splash once or twice every round. Oh, and use salamander... Much cheaper then slayer dart, maxes 24s at 99 magic, and takes up no inventory space. Queltar's is the only truly helpful barrows guide I've ever read...

[anish00b]

Alright to improve your guide i'll help you out...

 

 

 

instead of using short anagrams you could think of words that would summerise what you are going to talk about in that section...numbering them would be a good idea so that people can get a good idea of where everything is.

 

 

 

the equipment picture could be shrinked to show just the inven and the armour because in the future if you need the items you need to wear...it will be very hard.

 

 

 

The text in your map is red and doesn't seem to match and is hard to read. perhaps changing it or making it bigger would be easier.

 

 

 

overall a weak guide, but can be improved to the regular standards. but i do have to say there is nothing new in your guide that hasn't been mentioned...

[Sentry_Wolf]

...

 

 

 

You even said yourself on the title another Barrow guide? There is too many of them, this dosen't help.

 

 

 

Poor setup. Much better setups our there.

 

 

 

I'm sorry, but this is just a terrible guide. :(

 

If you plan to write another guide, make sure there isn't other guides like it. (unless you of course have a outstanding guide ect.)

[manitstinks]

Wow... so many bad things about this guide. One major one is that... whats with the rune defender!? At least have a guthix book so that it gives bonuses to everything.

[Owned_Nex]

Well, I don't see how this really differs from any of the other guides out there.

 

 

 

But I must add 3 things:

 

 

 

1: DON'T DO VERACS SECOND. I really can't elive you do it. Its a waste of prayer and time. Costs you a few more doses a trip.

 

2: Torags hits much less than guthans. When I first started barrows, I also used the prayer pot method. Torags rarely eer hit me even when I was waring mystic.

 

3: Don't bring rune defender...Bring a mage book. Hell, don't bring anything if you don't have one.

 

 

 

 

 

I can tell you really havn't done barrows much. Do it a few hundred more times and try again. You'll find some of the stuff in this guide is pretty funny after.

[Wizz]

ok so these guys are basically Pures, they are very weak Againts magic?

[SnWRifleman]

ok so these guys are basically Pures, they are very weak Againts magic?

 

 

 

Yes, they are very weak against any form of magic.

[Owned_Nex]

One more thing:

 

 

 

Give credit to those who you took images from!

[TheRabidBaby]

I havnt been recently, so for all i know this has been fixed, but cant you safespot the brothers in the tunnels at the corner rooms?

 

 

 

You know how you always end up in a corner room when you enter the tunnels? Basically in each corner room theres a space for the ladder that leads down from the tombs. You can trap a brother behind the ladder and kill him easily (if he's one of the melee 4). The interesting thingis that this works even if there isnt a ladder visible.. You can trap a brother on the space where a ladder should be! You can find out where the "invisible ladder" is by looking for the square in each corner room that you cant walk on (its somewhere in the middle). So you can just force spawn the brother by opening/closing doors until you get him in the room you want, leg it behind the invisible ladder and slayer dart him to death! This means that, if you have a decent prayer level, you never need to use a pot even if dharok is in the tunnels. (If karil is there your in for a tough time, but he's possible w/o prayer.

 

 

 

I have some pictures somwhere showing this, ill put them up.

 

 

 

Also, like everyone else says, do karil second. Ive only ever been KO'd by 2 brothers (one due to connection, one due to surprise 20). Dharok (who hasn't been ko'd by him? I got a free guth spear and helm of a guy who died to dharok) and karil (he never hit higher than 16 before this moment, i was KO'd by a 20. Goodbye veracs helm...).

 

 

 

And a decent house....i mean, free prayer recharge, kharyll portal, bake in the kitchen to restore hp, whats not to like? You can practically cut trip time and costs in half, since you arnt using prayer pots.

 

 

 

Overall, 5/10. You actually require prayer pots (something i did away with a long time ago), neglect easy safespots, and reccomend verac second. (I personally do him third, because i have great defence against ahrims attacks, but always, always do karil second. He's deadly.)

[Gin_and_Tonic]

I saw a guide like this when i barrowed over a year and a bit ago... So much has changed lately, and im sure this isn't the best way to do.

 

 

 

Just looks like the Tip.It guide but on the forum.

[Owned_Nex]

I also recommend a Ring of Life,seers, or c wars ring.

 

 

 

Since wealth DOES NOT DO ANYTHING, might aswell

[Aussietroopa]

Just a bit of advice, Karil should be killed before Verac, he hits rediculously often and high, not to mention fast. Also you should Melee Karil not mage, after 4 Dds specs, and a few Whip hits he should be dead. This is a LOT faster then maging, he wears range armour lets not forget. Other then that, a decent guide. needs a bit of help though.

[TheRabidBaby]

I must say i disagree - when im fighting karil mage seems to be much more effective. I miss a lot with whip/dds. It does seem odd, maging the ranger, but hey, it works.

[Owned_Nex]

It depends on your level

 

 

 

When I was in the 90s, I couldn't touch Karil with DDS or whip. Now that I'm 114, I can 4 spec him.
