Barrows

Barrows –  Barrows is a different mini-game in contrast to others, you are required to defeat the 6 brothers who are each located in their own tombs. Each brother has a unique combat style, I have listed the name of each brother and what style of combat they use below.



Dharok

Dharok uses the Melee combat style, it has the potential to hit very high when at low health. It is highly recommended to keep protect from melee on at all times when fighting this NPC, otherwise you run the risk of dying. Dharok's weakness is magic based spells, it is advised to use the ancient spells as you have the ability to freeze him with ice barrage making it much easier to kill him, as he will not be able to reach you. If your prayer runs out it is highly recommended you leave his crypt as Dharok can easily take out a player within a few hits without food or an teleport tab.

Ahrims

Ahrims combat style is Magic, it is highly recommended to keep protect from Magic on to avoid the NPC constantly doing a lot of damage to you. Ahrims has the capability to hit constant 20s, it is more vulnerable to Melee and Ranged attacks making it much more easier to kill the brother due to its low defence and armour. Ahrims would be ranked near the bottom strength wise as it doesn't do much damage in contrast to its other brothers.

Torag

Torag is the second youngest of the six barrows brother. Torag's combat style is Melee based using his duel wielded hammers. He attacks at an slow speed and deals a max hit of around 15-20. His weakness like some of the other Melee based barrow brothers is Magic, it is recommended to use the ancient spells as it allows you to freeze the NPC for a number of seconds giving you enough time to defeat him. Due to it's low defence, strong Melee weapons work equally as good (Chaotics).

Karils

Karils is the fourth oldest of the Barrows brothers. Karil's main combat style is Ranged and must not be underestimated as he has the capability to fire it's bolts rapidly and extremely accurate, leaving even the top PVMers with little if not much health. Unlike other bosses Karils weakness isn't magic due to it's leather clothing. It's recommended to use Melee styles against the brother as it is much easier to defeat. Also remember to keep protect from Ranged throughout the whole process.

Veracs

Veracs is the youngest of the 6 brothers, like most other brothers he too attacks with Melee using his flail. Veracs is a unique brother as he has the ability to hit through your prayer even with protect Melee active, it is still advised to keep the prayer up to prevent him hitting his max hits. It's recommended to keep your health as high as possible, as he has the capability to hit 30s through prayers. Veracs weakness is Magic based so ancient spells would be best as you are able to freeze the barrow for a number of seconds, giving you an better chance to defeat it without much damage to yourself.



Guthans

Guthans is the third oldest of the 6 brothers. He attacks with Melee using his Warspear at a fairly average combat speed, despite this he still has the capability to do around 20 damage each hit. The unique feature about this brother is that he allows himself to heal according to what damage he occurs, his effect is conveyed by an animation when activated. Guthans weakness is Magic so it recommend to use ancient spells as they have the ability to freeze the NPC for a number of seconds, providing you with plenty of time to kill the brother before he is able to move.

 Information 

After killing your 6th and final boss you loot the chest and you will receive your reward. Rewards are based off luck but if you use a Ring of Wealth you’re more likely to receive a rare drop. Recently a new update was implemented to the game allowing users to complete Barrows on ‘Extreme Mode’, this is much more difficult as you don’t have ability to use your prayers and the brothers do much more damage. The benefits of doing Extreme Mode are the more common rare drops as well having the chance to receive the new shields which were introduced to the game.

Note: You are required to speak to Dunstan located at Barrows and claim a spade, you will need this to dig into each tomb to fight the brothers. You can activate Extreme Mode by talking to Dunstan.
