'''Barrows''' is a repeatable combat activity for Barrows equipment and supplies. Kill all six brothers, loot the chest, then bank and go again. A full six-brother chest has a '''1/7 chance of at least one Barrows piece'''.<br />
<br />
== Getting there and supplies ==<br />
Open [[Teleports Menu|Sarim Hub]], search '''Barrows''' and teleport. Bring:<br />
* A '''spade''' to dig into the burial mounds.<br />
* A Magic weapon with runes or charges. Magic is a useful starting choice against the melee brothers.<br />
* A ranged switch for Ahrim, with ammunition.<br />
* Food and prayer potions. '''43 [[Prayer]]''' unlocks all three protection prayers.<br />
<br />
Leave a few inventory spaces for rewards. Keep food for Verac even if you can protect against the other brothers.<br />
<br />
== Your first chest ==<br />
# Stand on a burial mound and use '''Dig''' on your spade. Search the sarcophagus inside.<br />
# Kill the brother that appears, then climb the stairs back out.<br />
# One sarcophagus offers a '''hidden tunnel''' instead of a fight. Remember which one it is and finish the other five brothers first.<br />
# Return to that sarcophagus and enter the tunnel. It takes you straight to the chest area.<br />
# Click the chest to spawn the last brother. Switch to the right protection prayer and kill him.<br />
# Click the chest to open it, then click again to collect the loot. Bank, restock and start the next run.<br />
<br />
You do not need to hunt tunnel monsters for reward potential. The chest rewards use your '''brother kills'''. Looting resets those kills for the next run.<br />
<br />
== Brothers and prayers ==<br />
Use the mound positions below to find each brother. Start with Dharok while your prayer and supplies are full, unless he is your tunnel brother.<br />
<br />
{| class="wikitable"<br />
! Brother !! Mound !! What to do<br />
|-<br />
| Dharok || North-east || '''Protect from Melee'''. Keep it active until he dies; his hits can become stronger as his health falls.<br />
|-<br />
| Ahrim || Centre || '''Protect from Magic'''. Use your ranged switch. He can drain Strength.<br />
|-<br />
| Karil || South || '''Protect from Missiles'''. He can drain Agility.<br />
|-<br />
| Guthan || South-east || '''Protect from Melee'''. He can heal from damage dealt.<br />
|-<br />
| Torag || South-west || '''Protect from Melee'''. He can drain run energy.<br />
|-<br />
| Verac || North-west || '''Eat when needed'''. His attacks ignore protection prayer, so do not rely on Protect from Melee to keep you safe.<br />
|}<br />
<br />
Prayer drains while you are underground, even between fights. Watch your prayer points before searching a sarcophagus or clicking the chest.<br />
<br />
== Rewards ==<br />
'''Kill all six brothers before looting.''' A full run gives six reward rolls, each with a '''1/40 chance of a Barrows piece'''. Together, that is the '''1/7 chance per chest''' shown above. You can receive more than one piece in a chest; a drop is never guaranteed after a set number of runs.<br />
<br />
The equipment pool contains four pieces from each brother's set. Only brothers killed during that run contribute their equipment to the chest. Skipping brothers gives fewer rolls, a worse equipment chance on each roll and smaller ordinary supply rewards.<br />
<br />
Other chest loot includes mind, chaos, death and blood runes, bolt racks and coins. You can also find crystal key halves, a dragon med helm, an elite clue scroll or an amulet of the damned.<br />
<br />
Rewards go straight into your inventory. '''Anything that does not fit drops on the ground''', so check around the chest before leaving.<br />
<br />
== Common problems ==<br />
* '''Digging does nothing:''' move onto the mound and try again.<br />
* '''The sarcophagus is empty:''' you already killed that brother for this run.<br />
* '''The chest spawns a brother instead of giving loot:''' kill your tunnel brother, then click the chest again.<br />
* '''The chest opens but gives nothing yet:''' click the open chest once more to collect.<br />
