DO NOT COPY ANY PART OF THIS GUDIE, IT IS FOR USE ON MY NEW SITE, I HAVE POSTED IT TO HELP PEOPLE AND TO GET SOME FEEDBACK.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Barrows is a combat based mini game, it requires high concentration and can be cost consuming. Barrows mini game should not be attmepted without 43 prayer.

 

 

 

I have wrote a guoide explaining the game, it includes what to take, the monsters you will face and the rewards.

4.In the belly of the beast

 

 

 

5. Rewards and banking

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now the guide begins here, hopefully it will help you to becoming a master of barrows too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. The requirements

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

43 Prayer is a must, cannont stress this enough, without prayer you WILL DIE

 

 

 

Prayer potions (Number explained later in guide)

 

 

 

Sharks or level 76 fishing (Shark spots right next to the bank)

 

 

 

Runes for your chosen spell (read whatto wear for the spells)

 

 

 

Spade

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What to wear

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are many ways of barrowing, I am going to show the most common aswel as in my opinion the most effective.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are pics of your inventory for the different sets of equipment you should take.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Guthan and magic dart

 

 

 

Pros - Most effective, this method allows you to do the most trips without banking, most cost efective once you have bought the equipment, will get all your runes back over time, making it free to mage

 

 

 

Cons - Expensive to buy to start with

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Recomended for players that can afford to buy Guthans

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The sharks are there if you need them when facing Veracs as he can hit through you prayer, once in the tunnels, do not use them, use Guthans to heal of the monsters instead.

 

 

 

Karils Bow can be replaced with a Magic Short Bow or a Crystal Bow

 

 

 

Prayer pots could be replaced with super restores as some of your stats will be lowered by Ahrim and Karil

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Fire Blast and Rune

 

 

 

Pros - Cheap to buy to begin with

 

 

 

Cons - Can't do as many trips as you can with Guthan before you need to bank, May use your runes up, as barrows wont be able to keep up with the bloods you use and doesn't give fires at all.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mystic could be changed for other mage armours, spell could be changed for another high leveled spell depedning on your level. You may need more sharks depedning on your defense level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Ancient Magiks

 

 

 

Pros - Fast and effective way of killing the brothers

 

 

 

Cons - Can't get as many trips before needed to bank as you can with Guthans, May not be able to replenish runes, as you are using bloods and deaths

 

 

 

====pic coming soon=====

 

 

 

Can change armour for another mage armour if you wish depedning on your level and preferences, may need more sharks depedning on your defense level.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Barrows is a mini-game that requires you to awaken the dead and defeat them, you will need to beat 6 brothers before you should open the chest. There are 4 melee brothers 1 mage and 1 ranger, all can hit high if not using prayer.

 

 

 

This map shows you the tunnels to find the brothers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The brothers can be tackled in any order, although i would advise this one as it gives your stats a cahnce to rise if they get lowered

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Verac = Verac can hit through your prayer, you should always kill him first

 

 

 

2. Ahrim = Can lower your strenght, attack and defense, should attack him second, so your stats have time to recover before entering the tunnels

 

 

 

3. Karil = Can lower your agility

 

 

 

4. Dharok = Can hit very high if you have no prayer, the more damage you have done to him the harder he can hit

 

 

 

5. Torag = Torag is pretty straight foward, he can drain some of your energy

 

 

 

6. Guthan = Guthan can heal through your prayer, even though he doesn't wound you, he can somehow hela himself to what hew would have hit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You will need to dig on the mounds to find a tomb, search the tombs and the brother will attack you, if you fin a tunnel entrance, remember where it is, then move to the next brother

 

 

 

Here are pics of the brothers with a short describtion on killing them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Verac:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Protect melee at all times, keep an eye on your health as he can hit through your prayer, once defeated you will know the other brothers are much easier.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahrims:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ahrim can be a high hitter, he has hit 20's on me even though i wear black dragon hide armour, be careful if you are not using protect from mage,

 

 

 

Either protect mage or don't aslong as you are wearing dragon hides or Karils he wont be much of a probelm.

 

 

 

Range him, using magic will be a waste of runes, they are not very efective against him, same goes for melee.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Karil:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Protect range at all times, karil is one of the most dangerous brothers without prayer, his range attacks can hit very high through Guthans, use protect prayers at all times.

 

 

 

Either mage him or melee him, both seem a little weak against him, but you will get there in the end.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dharok:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very dangerous enemy, make sure your prayer is high at all times, incase of lag. He can hit upto 70's i think and without prayer is certain death. Just keep protect melee on and mage him

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Torag:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Torag is fairly easy, look at your inven decide wether you can spare some prayer pots and don't protect, I will only use prayer against him on my first few trips as i need to use up the pots to make room.

 

 

 

He can hit upto 40's but this is very very rare and if you are wearing decent armour he will barely touch you

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guthan:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guthan is easy aswel, you dont really need prayer agaisnt him, he can hit 20's but not verfy often, if you are wearing decent armour he will barely touch you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. In The Belly Of The Beast

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once you have defeated 5 brothers you will need to go back to your tunnel entrance. Go down the tunnel, you will find yourself in a simple maze. the maze can get quite confusing, but aslong as you remeber the layout you will be fine

 

 

 

 

 

 

When you go down the ladder you will appear in one fo the corners, as you make you way to the central room to claim your prize, try to remeber your way back out, as it will save time and some of your health.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There are 4 rooms of enemies around the tomb, they are, Rats, BloodVelds, Skeletons and Spiders. Here are some pics of the monster rooms

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

===pic coming soon==-==

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The chest is on the middle of the maze, once you get there, if you havent already spawned the final brother, he will appear from the chest when you go to open it, to claim your reward defeat the ramining brother and search the chest,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Rewards from the Barrows Minigame are as follows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chaos Runes

 

 

 

Blood Runes

 

 

 

Death Runes

 

 

 

Coins

 

 

 

Bolt Racks

 

 

 

Dragon Medium Helms

 

 

 

Half Keys

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And if your lucky a piece of Barrows Armour.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for reading hope you have enjoyed this guide, please leave feedback

[Kiriyama]

Prayer on all Brothers?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too wasteful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4/10

[Chrisaster]

Great guide, but there are some things you've missed or something that's not true.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

- Dharok's max hit is 58~59, if I'm right.

 

 

 

- You can also get Bolt Racks from the chest.

[ranging_beast]

I doubt Torag can hit 40s. Im sure 23-24 is his max.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ranged Crave

[Dankar30]

I'm pretty sure you can get Dragon Meds from the chest, though im not 100% sure

[Chrisaster]

I'm pretty sure you can get Dragon Meds from the chest, though im not 100% sure

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yup, and there's a chance you can get Half Keys.

[Sin81]

Yep i have missed of the rewards, thank you for remingding me, and torag hits 40's.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you bothered to read the guide before posting some noob comment, then you would see that praying on all is not needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now sworddude you go make a guide, spend time doing it, formatting it, collecting pictures, making maps, then let me say something stupid about how bad their post is without reading it. k? stupid noobish child

[mojo477]

and it is blood worms not veld also u should always do dharok first well at least i do

[victor1995]

R u casting Fire Blast with bloods?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9.5/10

[piman1053]

the only time use barrows is to alch in dh tomb, but i would say that your strategy needs some ironing out.

[Sin81]

and it is blood worms not veld also u should always do dharok first well at least i do

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nice spot thanks, just because you do dharok first doesn't mean you should. Starting with verac gives you time to recover qany hits you may loose to him, arhim and karil can lower stats so they come next.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When ever i do barrows i don't really care which brother i do in what order, i just do what ever i see first

[Lucifier6]

the salve amulet does not have an effect against the brothers so it almost useless except against the skeles in the crypt.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

just thought you should know

[Sin81]

depends wether you melee the brothers or not, jagex have confirmed the salve amulet affects the brothers the same as i does skeles if you melee them, i wear the ammy to help mne with the monsters in the tunnels. saves time

[Lucifier6]

I'd like to see this confirmation, because they have said it DOES NOT WORK in the past

[Sin81]

go search some threads in either p2p general or in the guides section, there is a screeny somewhere of a email to and from jagex staff

[Satenza]

Salve Ammy does not work.

[JoeDaStudd]

First off nice guide

 

 

 

*Super restores are great at barrows, best used after ahrims for the full effect (use instead of a prayer pot or 2)

 

 

 

*Slave amulet (Does/doesnt work arguement) see this link http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=578317

[Kiriyama]

Hmm perhaps I should.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Including a video, and a whole lot better than this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also Satenza makes the Ultimate Barrows Guides.

[lord_ownage]

great guide but..... with slayer dart and only slayer dart im 90% positive you can attack them form the the other side of the chest width wise :-k

[Lucifier6]

I dunno I don't think it works still... I wouldn't put too much trust in support querys...

[Jock66600]

Spell check it please....

[Rahxphonss]

You know I think if you are wearing full guthan you dont really need to pray on Verac, Torag and Guthan, I mean Im lvl 88 with 70 def and use rune legs,chest and can hold most of their attacks usually only waste around 3-4 swordies on them

[JoeDaStudd]

He says he only uses prayer on them the first few trips to free up some inventory space for the chest.

 

 

 

I will only use prayer against him on my first few trips as i need to use up the pots to make room.

[Rahxphonss]

hmmm...must have missed that part...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My apologies

[Owned_Nex]

ok, 2/10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So how many times u been to barrows? 5 max? The barrows guys barely hit on my pathedic rune, You gotta kill Dh first, since his max hit is 59. Melee guys are amround 24, mage is around 20, Karil 20 too.
