Barrow brothers

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape [view] •[talk]A picture of Dharok the Wretched Dharok the Wretched, abbreviated by players as DH, is the second oldest of the six Barrows brothers. He attacks with melee, and the lower his health is, the harder he hits. Dharok attacks much more slowly than the other brothers (around the speed of a 2h sword), but he has the ability to hit up to 680 when he is at low health, and thus he is considered by most players to be the most dangerous Barrows brother. It is strongly recommended that you watch your prayer extremely closely while fighting Dharok. If you are using magic, the black salamander works well, although slayer dart may be used as a substitute.

Due to his potency many players choose to safe spot Dharok in the Tunnels of Barrows, using one of the many rocks as cover to mage behind however this can be dangerous if the player can't get the spot quickly as Dharok can kill the player. Others use ancient magicks spells, normally ice spells to kill him without risk. The normal practice is to go for Dharok first when your prayer is fully charged to make sure that the kill is safer.

If your prayer runs out it is highly recommended you leave the crypt as Dharok can easily 2-hit any player at full health while his health is low due to his special trait. Dharok the Wretched uses a large axe to fight, Dharok's Greataxe. It is also available to players, for 694,300gp (The price may not be correour article here!

[view] •[talk]A male and female player wearing Verac's set Verac the Defiled is the youngest of the six Barrows brothers. He attacks with meleeand has the chance of nullifying the effect of a player's prayer and armour, enabling himself to hit very high. The Protect from Melee Prayer is advised to be kept on whilst fighting him; although he is capable of ignoring your prayer, it will often protect you from his hits, giving you a difference that may save your life. While using Protect from Melee orDeflect Melee, Verac's maximum hit is reduced from 240 to 155.

High defence levels and binding spells are the only reliable sources of protection when Verac attacks. He is level 115 and is relatively vulnerable to magic attacks. Black salamanders are recommended against this enemy, or the Magic Dart spell if the player does not have the required stats for the salamanders. =Ahrim the Blighted=

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape
[view] •[talk] Ahrim the Blighted is the oldest of the Barrows brothers. He uses low level curse spells as well as his set effect "Blighted aura", which lowers the player's strength and attack. This spell cannot be blocked in any way, ever. He uses Fire Wave, so it is advised to use the Protect from Magic prayer or wear armour with high Magic defence like black dragonhide armour. He can hit a max of 200 using Fire Wave.

Players may attempt to kill Ahrim without Prayer, but it is only recommended if you have 70+ Ranged and 80+ Magic as well as black dragonhide armour. Also, like every one of the Barrows brothers, his armour is tinted red. Generally, Ahrim is considered the weakest because he wears robes, as opposed to his younger brothers, therefore making it easier for players to land blows on him. He is weak against ranged attacks.

==== [view] •[talk]Torag The CorruptedA player wearing Torag's armour. Torag the Corrupted is the second-youngest of the Barrows brothers. Torag uses Melee attacks and these can be averted by using the Protect from Melee Prayer.

Torag possesses an effect known as Corruption. This depletes run energy by around 4% every time it activates, but does not affect combat in any way. Most players who visit the Barrows are not perturbed by this effect because the lost run energy is regained in just a few seconds and hence take no measures to combat it.

[view] •[talk] Guthan the Infested is the third oldest of the six Barrow brothers.

He attacks with melee, and his set effect allows him to heal himself at a 1:1 ratio, so if he deals 200 life points and the effect occurs, he would recover 200 life points. His effect is visible; three ghostly entities surround Guthan's opponents and circle around them in an upwards motion. Even though he uses his Warspear, it has the same sound effect as Verac's flail.

Some players "tank mage" Guthan. This means that they will mage while wearing their melee armour, such as rune, granite, etc. Even though wearing metal while maging reduces your mage bonus significantly, Guthan's magic defence is so poor that you will be hitting almost as accurate as with Mystic or other robes. This strategy is used so he won't be able to hit you often, thus, reducing the chances of healing himself. Alternatively some people use the protect from melee prayer which avoids the need to wear armour while spell casting and blocks all guthans damage and most of his healing. However, he does heal what he would have hit if you use prayer. ==Black Salamander is recommended as it is not affected by the player's magic attack bonus too much. However, slayer dartmay be used as a substitute. He is equipped with his own set of armour, Guthan's set, which is obtainable (albeit rarely) by players who complete the Barrows.==

=Karil the Tainted=

From the RuneScape Wiki, the wiki for all things RuneScape
[view] •[talk] Karil the Tainted is the third youngest of the six Barrows brothers. He attacks using a repeating crossbow which uses special ammo called Bolt Racks which cannot be retrieved by a player using them. Although his crossbow is apparently set to the "accurate" style, Karil is still considered one of the more dangerousBarrows. He can hit up to 210 with incredible accuracy, and faster than the other brothers (same speed as a dagger). His special isn't the most deadly as it only drains Agility which isn't too crippling, unless you are required to run long distances to a bank or are just about to enter the tunnels. He is weak against slash attacks.

Some players prefer to Melee Karil using the 4 Dragon Dagger special attacks then switching to an Abyssal Whip or some other powerful Dragon weapon while using Protect from Missiles Prayer. One could also try using a Bandos godsword while using attack and strength prayers to help lower Karil's defence.

Lower Defence players (such as 1 Defence Pures) who don't use prayer against Karil have noticed he can hit multiple 200's at high speed and rate - which can be deadly if this occurs multiple times in a row and the player is not able to eat fast enough.

During the Morytania-Misthalin wars, the Barrows brothers were devastating against the Undead armies, cutting through their lines with ease. Karil was known for his secrecy and accuracy in battle; "Should any enemy manage to survive long enough, and have the chance to strike a blow, Karil would fire a swathe of bolts to pepper their chest as they took their swing, throwing them back, " this is a quote taken from The Fall of Six under the Lores section of Runescape.
