VI. Taking on the Brothers
==========================
I'll explain how to defeat the brothers in the order you should battle them.
--------------------
Dharok the Wretched
-------------------
Type: Melee
Special: The lower his HP is, the higher he can hit
Prayer: Yes
This guy is very easy if you watch your prayer. If your prayer is full and
you're maging
him then you can easily take him down without worrying. If somehow your prayer
gets low
and runs out then either run away or drink prayer potions and put prayer back
on. If your
prayer does run out then his HP will be very low and you wouldn't want that
because it's very
likely for him to take you down in 1-2 hits.
-----------------
Verac the Defiled
-----------------
Type: Melee
Special: Can hit through prayer and armour
Prayer: Yes
This is where you'll probably blow most of your food because he can hit through
your prayer.
He can hit up to 15 with his special but use prayer anyway. Take him on with
mage. After the
fight with him it's a good idea to go over to Burgh De Rott and stock up on some
more food.
-----------------
Karil the Tainted
-----------------
Type: Range
Special: Can lower agility
Prayer: Yes
Even though he's a ranger he can hit very high. His attacks are accurate, fast,
and strong
so you must pray. He can still hurt you if you have melee armour on. You can
either mage him
or higher levels who want to save their runes can melee him with a whip or
dragon scimitar.
It's recommended to use a super attack and super strength if you're taking him
on with melee.
-------------------
Guthan the Infested
-------------------
Type: Melee
Special: Can heal himself after making a hit
Prayer: If you have good defence and rune armour or better then no. (Only if
using Slayer Dart)
You need to be well prepared for this brother. If you don't have the proper
armour and defence
then he can hurt. If not then use prayer. Watch your prayer because he can heal
himself making
the battle longer.
-------------------
Torag the Corrupted
-------------------
Type: Melee
Special: Can lower your run energy
Prayer: Good Armour and Good Defence then no. (Only if using Slayer Dart)
Torag has very strong defence but it's still nothing that Verac Armour or magic
can't do.
He is very inaccurate but if he happens to hit you (Only if you're not using
prayer) then
it hits hard. His special is nothing to be worried about but if you're in the
tunnels then
you might want to be careful.
------------------
Ahrim the Blighted
------------------
Type: Mage
Special: Lower your Strength
Prayer: If you have a good mage level (for magic defence) and black dragonhide
armour
then no.
Ahrim attacks with Fire Blasts and Weakening spells. Half of the time he uses
the weakening
spells which can't damage you but the fire blasts hit hard. With good magic
defence then it's
nothing to worry about but be ready to use some of your food. The usual routine
is using a dragon dagger
and all it's specials. When the specials run out you'd switch to range and
finish him off.
==================
VII. The Tunnels
==================
This is the part of The Barrows that makes it so hard. It might sound simple,
but
there's monsters chasing you, doors that don't work, puzzles, and to top it off;
a
tunnel brother. You just have to reach the middle of the dungeon to get to the
chest and
open it for your reward.
---------
Monsters
---------
You'll find many monsters in here to make everything a lot harder. Take them on
with melee.
Bloodworms
Can barely hit hard
Skeletons
Can hit kind of hard so make sure to eat your food when fighting one.
Spiders
The small ones are easy. The big ones are the same, just with more HP and are
stronger.
Rats
The small ones are easy. The big ones are the same, just with more HP and are
stronger.
Tunnel Brother
Your tunnel brother is the one whose crypt leads to the tunnel. There's rocks in
the tunnel
which you can use to your own advantage. You can trap a melee brother behind one
and start
maging them without them attacking you. Not all rocks work, keep that in mind.
Tunnel brothers
only spawn when you open a door. If they don't appear by the time you reach the
chest then they
will when you open the chest.
--------
Puzzles
--------
When you reach the second to last door to your chest you must do a puzzle. The
thing that makes
it so difficult is monsters interuppting you when you're attempting to solve the
puzzle.
Puzzle Soltuins
Bar Rising
The one where the bar is on the top.
Squares in a box
The one with squares on the bottom, one on the top right.
Circle and Triangle.
The one where the triangle's point is pointing on the right side of the circle.
Shape
Solution not found yet.
-------
Chest
------
Simply open the chest and search for you reward.
