The Barrows minigame is an area-based combat minigame. The minigame is named after the six burial mounds in which the Barrows brothers were entombed after their deaths during the Third Age.

During this minigame, players attempt to rob valuable items from the Barrows brothers' crypts. However, due to an ancient spell, the brothers' wights continued to dwell in the barrows, protecting these treasures.

Barrows is a popular minigame due to the potential of receiving valuable rewards, including the unique Barrows equipment. The objective is to defeat the six Barrows brothers and open the rewards chest.

Auras & Relics

These are not mandatory in completing the minigame but they can be very beneficial at times. Barrows is fairly easy overall so don't think these are 100% required in order to partake.

Gear Setup

4/6 of the Barrows Brothers are weak to Magic so your best in slot magic damage setup is recommended. A ranged switch is also recommended due to Ahrim's higher magic defense.

After teleporting to Barrows, open your minimap and become familiar with the location of each brother's crypt. This will allow you to prepare ahead of time for which combat style to use and what overhead prayer to protect.

The Brothers

Each brother has a unique 'set effect'. Specifics are listed below.
Dharok the Wretched
Wretched Strength - increases his max hit by 1% for every Hitpoint missing.
Ahrim the Blighted
Blighted aura - each attack has 20% to drain 5 strength points.
Verac the Defiled
Defile - 25% chance per attack to ignore Defence, armor bonuses and protection prayers.
Torag the Corrupted
Corruption - 25% chance per successful hit to lower the player's energy by 20%.
Karil the Tainted
Tainted Shot - 25% chance to lower the enemies agility by 20%.
Guthan the Infested
Infestation - 25% chance per successful hit to heal back the damage dealt to his enemy. Always protect from melee!

Boss Fight

  • Always use the protection prayer that corresponds with the attack style the brother that you are facing uses.
  • A strategy to get faster kills is to enter the empty tomb and proceed to enter a door within the chest room. This door will spawn one of the living brothers. Once all five have been killed the sixth one will spawn from the chest itself.
  • While underground anywhere in the Barrows area, the brothers' faces will occasionally appear on-screen, draining a considerable amount of Prayer points every 18 seconds. The amount of prayer drained begins at eight prayer points, and increases by one for each brother killed, for a maximum of fourteen once all six brothers are killed.
