Dig on top of the hills to access one of the tombs of the brothers.

The Barrow Brothers is not a safe minigame. This means that when you die, you will lose your gear that you are wearing.

To get to the Barrow Brothers minigame you will first have to talk to the Ghost captain who is walking around in Falador park, he will teleport you to Canifis. In Canifis there will be a portal that will take you to the Barrow Brothers minigame or simply use Drakan's medallion. You'll be teleported to a little shack outside of the Barrow Brothers minigame.

To enter the catacombs you will need a spade. Use the spade on top of the hills to enter them. Be wary of your Prayer points, as they will be drained as long as you are in the catacombs of the Barrow brothers.

Weakness

Barrows Brothers are weak to any air type of damage and players will benefit from a 50% accuracy boost if they attack them with proper damage type. They are also considered an undead monster which makes them immune to rot and poison type of damage but vulnerable to the salve amulet and undead slayer aura effects.

The 6 Barrow Brothers

There are six different Barrow brothers, each with their own unique strengths. Every Barrow brother has 140 hitpoints. In one of the tombs of a Barrow brother you will find a tunnel, go back out of the catacomb and kill the rest of the Brothers. Return to the tunnel, where you need to find the correct path and in the end solve a puzzle to get to the middle to find a chest, where you can claim your reward.

Verac the Defiled

Verac's catacomb is located under the north-west hill. When fighting this Barrow Brother it is always recommended to use Protect from melee prayer since he attacks with melee. Verac's armour set gives Verac a chance to ignore the player's armor bonuses. So watch your health when fighting him as he can hit very accurately.

Dharok the Wretched

Dharok's catacomb is located under the north-east hill. Dharok will attack with melee but a lot slower than his other Brothers (speed of a 2handed weapon). Dharok's armour set gives Dharok a bonus: when his health runs lower he will start to deal more damage so be careful when he is low health as he can hit easily over 70. Protect from melee prayer is always highly recommended when fighting Dharok. Watch your health when fighting this brother and don't be afraid of keeping your health high. When you run out of prayer it is advised to leave the catacomb and regenerate.

Ahrim the Blighted

Ahrim's catacomb is located under the centre hill. He will attack you with Fire Wave so it is advised to use Protect from Magic.

Torag the Corrupted

Torag's catacomb is located under the south-west hill. He will attack you with melee so it is advised to use Protect from Melee. Torag is often seen as the weakest brother but should not be taken lightly due to his high defense. The fight with Torag can be difficult for players with a lower prayer level since the fight can take a while. A Bandos godsword or Statius's warhammer special attack can prove useful if it takes you a long time to bring him down.

Guthan the Infested

Guthan's catacomb is located under the south-east hill. He will attack you with melee so it is advised to use Protect from Melee. Guthan's armor set gives him a chance to regenerate health with the damage done to the player. You will recognize this healing by "purple souls" rising up.

Karil the Tainted

Karil's catacomb is located under the southern hill. He will attack you with range so it is advised to use Protect from Range.

Rewards

Rewards are awarded once for every Barrows brother that was slain, e.g. if all 6 Barrows brothers have been slain then 6 rewards are picked.

The combat levels of all the monsters slain within the minigame are tracked and it affects the quantity of the stackable items awarded. To get the full reward, the combat levels of everything slain by the player need to add up to at least 1,000.

• Rarity of Barrows weapons and armour pool varies between 0.7%-2.9% depending on the number of Barrows Brothers slain. The more Barrows Brothers are killed, the higher the odds of getting a Barrows piece as a reward every time a reward is picked.
• Npc's are aggressive, auto-retaliate may prevent you from passing puzzle doors when choosing the correct answer.
