Complete Barrows Guide for OSRS


The Barrows Brothers were a band of legendary warriors who defeated Morytania in the God Wars, but most players recognize them for their massive armor sets. They are situated in six burial mounds in the Sanguinesti region of Morytania. Players can raid these tombs to battle ghostly versions of themselves. In this OSRS Barrows Guide, you will be taught how to effectively farm this game.

Complete Barrows Guide for OSRS

Barrows brothers are extremely hard to hit and often the fights are extremely violent, and often, with Karil and Dharok being the most violent. Prayer is a crucial part of most fights especially when you're fighting someone with low defense. Because prayer is quickly drained inside the tomb, you'll probably need a few sips of prayer potions to prepare yourself for the hardest fights.

 

While it is quite a long walk from any bank, there is now a direct teleport from the Arceuus spellbook that allows bank transactions extremely fast. Even if you don't possess the required magic level to utilize teleport tabs it is possible to still purchase them at a slightly higher price, but it won't drastically reduce your profit margins.

 

OSRS Barrows Gear Setups

You'll need the combination of range, magic or melee as you can employ the three different types of attacks. Because the four melee brothers are extremely ineffective at causing the damage, accuracy isn't as important when it comes to the gear configuration. Many prefer damage spells that deal damage regardless of the magic equipment, like Iban's blast or Trident of the Seas, however any spell you can afford can be used.

 

Your inventory should primarily contain your spade, runes or Rune Pouch, teleport tablets as well as your weapons switches. The remainder of the inventory should be used for prayer potions super restores, super heals, high-healing food (like sharks), and possibly a few Saradomin Brews when needed.

OSRS Barrows Run Guide

Dharok

Since your prayer will drain very quickly, you must dig right into the Dharok mound, as he's the most violent brother. It is possible to kill him with no prayer potion, or food, based on your DPS. Be careful, as once his health drops, it begins to reap the benefits of armor. His max hit will increase with decreasing health, so kill him quickly.

 

Karil

Make the most of any prayer points remaining and make your way to the mound of Karil. His DPS is rather high therefore pray or be mindful of your hitpoints as you fight Karil. It is possible to use magic to kill him, however you must it is not recommended to melee or range him down.

 

Ahrim, Guthan and Torag.

After being killed, you can choose to Ahrim, Guthan, Torag or Verac as the order doesn't matter at this moment. Verac is well-known for his prayers-insensitive hits, so it's a good idea to kill him first, even if you don't have any prayer. It's still able to get hits. You can freeze your melee brothers with ice spells found in the Ancient Magicks spellbook and only require a only a few prayer points.

 

Barrows Tunnels Guide

Instead, one of the brothers mentioned above will be replaced by a tunnel entry. This means that you'll need to battle them on the route to locate the chest. This is where having prayer potion sips available is essential as you may find yourself in a space with no safe place.

 

You must be aware of the doors you are able to click for access to the chest when you go through the tunnels. There's always the possibility that the final brother will attack your character if you go through every door. There are a few places with rocks or invisible tiles where they can be safe-spotted/flinched.

 

After you've reached the last door leading to the chest you'll need to complete the puzzle, which is fairly simple. You only have one chance to solve the puzzle, as enemies continue to attack you. It is likely that you will have the puzzles down pat after you play this minigame.

 

Once you have received your drop teleport to your house to use the restoration pool and/or altar. Transfer to the bank of your choice to deposit your drop and replenish supplies prior to making use of Barrows Teleport for a new run.

 

OSRS: The Best Barrows Kill in OSRS

Although you can sprint straight to the chest without much effort, chances of getting a decent bargain are not that high. In the end you'll need to take out all six brothers to have a chance of getting a barrows piece.

 

In terms of killing other creatures to boost your kill count, it has been confirmed by Jagex moderators that there is an optimal kill count you should choose from and that more is not more effective. It is not necessary to kill more than 20 creatures but it is a good idea to kill multiple creatures to increase the amount of rune you can drop.

 

How much can I earn through Barrows?

It is hard to calculate that figure since profit mostly depends on getting the barrows armor as a rare drop, and there is a huge variance between prices. It is possible to earn over one million gold an hour when you have the highest level of character and an extremely concentrated character.

 

You probably should at least be able to get at least the Mortaynia Hard Diary completed as it gives increased rune drops by 50%, which is a considerable amount of your earnings. The Morytania legs 3 also offer unlimited transfer options to Burgh de Rott, which will allow for quicker banking and an option to use Barrows tabs.

 

Final Thoughts

Even though Barrows is considered to be old-fashioned content however, the drops are important and are among the top items available in the game. With the latest updates to teleports and equipment, doing barrows runs have been made easier, which is why some items have lowered in price. This OSRS Barrows Guide and hopefully, you can start working for a quick cash or to completing your Barrows armor collection.
