Barrows

Introduction
The Barrows Brothers
are mainly camped by high-level players in an effort to obtain the Graverobber title. The brothers are relatively weak, with the exception of Linza.
Useful Unlocks
⬥ Completing all Hard Morytania achievements:
• Doubles rune drops
• Allows you to bank loot directly from the chest
⬥ Completing all Easy Combat Mastery Achievements:
• Portals will permanently appear in corner & central rooms of the underground crypt
⬩ Teleporting via these portals circumvents the need to to solve puzzles or open doors
⬥ Bringing a Dragon/Barrows defender allows for additional defender components. Corrupted sigils can be dissasembled for undead components
The Fight
Suggested order for killing the brothers:
Linza → Ahrim → Verac → Akrisae → Torag → Karil → Guthan → Dharok
General Strategy
⬥ It is recommended to be on an Undead slayer task to benefit from the slayer helmet
and Guardhouse boosts
⬥ You can pre-vuln by using
on the ground after clicking the sarcophagus
⬥ Bringing a spade and using it to dig in order to enter the mounds is quicker
⬥ Good movement can improve the efficiency of your runs, below are some examples starting at Dharok's crypt:
• Guthan last
• Akrisae last
• Karil last
• Torag last
