Advanced Barrows Guide

[Matt-]

What is Barrows?
Barrows is a minigame that includes killing six high combat monsters, Dharok, Karil, Arim, Torag, Guthan and Verac. The whole point of "Doing" barrows is that once you have killed them all you go into a tunnel and open a chest, where you have a chance of getting a piece of barrows or runes and bolt racks.

How do I get there and what do I do?
To get there you need to have completed the quests Priest in Peril and Started Nature Spirit to enter Mort Myre.
If you have completed In Aid of the Myreque you unlock a shortcut that halfs the trip to barrows.

What do i need to take?
When doing barrows there is two main methods the first is using any armor of high defence and then using the spell Slayer Dart (Method #1) and the second is using Veracs and meleeing them (Method #2).

Method #1
For this method you need 50 magic + and 55 slayer+, What to wear when going barrows using this method i wear;

- Farsea Helm
- Obby Cape or Fire Cape
- Glory or Fury
- Slayer Staff
- Arim's Top
- Rune Defender
- Arim's Bottom
- Barrows Gloves
- Rune Boots
- Seers Ring

The inventory i take is;
- DDS x1
- Whip x1
- Prayer Pot x1
- Spade x1
- House tele tablet x 10
- Death Rune x 200
- Mind Rune x 800
- Monkfish x 21

Method #2
For this method you need 70+ attack, strength and defence, I wear when using this method;

- Veracs Helm
- Obby Cape or Fire Cape
- Glory or Fury
- Veracs Flail
- Veracs Brassard
- Rune Defender
- Veracs Skirt
- Barrows Gloves
- Rune Boots
- Beserker Ring

The inventory i take is;
- DDS x1
- Whip x1
- Prayer Pot x1
- Spade x1
- House tele tablet x 10
- Super Attack x 1
- Super Strength x 1
- Super Defence x 1
- Monkfish x 20

What to i need to do now?
Now you have to kill the six brothers in turn by digging into there cript and searching there toom an advised order is;

- Dharok ( Praying Melee Is a Must!)
- Karil ( Pray Range if you have left. Don't Pot! )
- Arim ( Pray Mage if you have left. Don't Pot! )
- Torag
- Guthan
- Verac

Searching one of the tooms you will get a message saying that you have found a hidden tunnel would you like to enter? This is the tunnel where the chest is. Don't enter unless you have killed the other five brothers ( 5 Kill Count )



The Tunnel
Once in the tunnel you will get attacked by monsters such as;
- Bloodworm
- Spiders
- Rats
- Skeletons
Killing them gets your kill count up but this doesn't increace the chance of you getting a barrows item but it does mean that there is a bigger change you will get deaths ans bloods.. if you don't get a item.

Once you are in the tunnels there will four doors around you of which you can only open one of them, keep going round until you get a door that asks you for a puzzle once answered the puzzle you can enter the chest room, if you havent allredy killed the sixth brother he will apear as you open the chest so be prepaired for a fight. Once killed the last brother either teleport or walk out, you will recieve damage walking out as bricks fall from the wall.

Answering the Puzzles
When you open a a puzzle screen will open you must answer quick as if you get hit the screen will go and you will have to search the door again, If you get the puzzle wrong you will have to search round the tunnles for the door that is open as it will move.

[Lord_Gig]

Very nice guide, very detailed :) +rep

[Jackboy]

Yes i agree with the above ;)

+rep

[DJ-Vimto]

its a good guide, although you should take into consideration that not everyone can afford a whip and maybe offer an alternative?

[Matt-]

its common sence that an alternative for a whip is a d scimi or d long?

[Dan]

Not necessarily it could be someones first trip to barrows, guides good but could use alot more information tbh about each of the brothers and there armour bonuses and the possible rewards from the chest at the end, also the ways you use seem to list alot of exspensive stuff that people may not want to take so some cheaper alternatives wouldnt hurt either.

[21tcripps]

nice even tho i do the fire blast metfod because i havent got 55 slayer yet

[Hoax]

Nice guide ;]

you should add their weaknesses

[Bun]

Nice although you have a few typos. A few I picked out straight away were:
Ahrim - you put Arim.
Farseer - you put Farsea.

Looking good so far though.

It is a good guide but again with spelling errors. There is a mistake in the first image where you spelt route without the 'E'. Also you might want to give credit to where you go the puzzle pictures because they arent yours. They dont match the gear you said you bring.

[Middlesbrough]

you cant were veracs flail with a rune defender :l

[Matt-]

u can i promis

[Royal]

Amazing guide, no doubt it would be in the guides and tutorial section.

[Sly]

Puzzle Answer Pictures nice and freshly ripped from Tip.It I see.

http://www.tip.it/runescape/?page=barrows_puzzles.htm

Match them up, exactly the same and no Matt, you didn't submit those pictures to Tip.It otherwise your name name would be at the bottom of the Guide page, which it's not.













u can i promis
All Barrows wepons are 2 handed so You cannot use a Defender with a Barrows wepon.

[Distad]

bring rune arrows and short bow for ahrim
and dds for karil
other than that mage em >:]

[Matt-]

or ur just pile both with veracs?

[Dan]

or ur just pile both with veracs?

You need to remember not everyone has vast amounts of cash to spend on the items you say should be taken
