Barrows is a minigame-style boss fight; it's a very popular money-making method for both regular accounts and Ironman. The location of the Barrows brothers consists of six spirits, each of which has a distinct brother that can be found east of Mor'ton. The gameplay is like a minigame in which you must explore a crypt below a random sarcophagus of one of the Barrows brothers and defeat them.
Ultimately, this is a Barrows guide focused a bit more on mains and accounts with access to the Grand Exchange. If you're an Ironman, I recommend you check out our Barrows guide for Ironman.
The Crypts below the Barrows brothers are usually explored due to the rewards that can be obtained and a chance to receive a piece of the special Barrows equipment after searching the reward chest, but the Barrows brothers protect these crypts, and you would need to kill all of them to be able to search the reward chests. Including one before opening the reward chest.
Requirements For Barrows Brothers
The only prerequisite for obtaining the Barrows gloves is finishing the Priest in Peril quest to enter Morytania.Even if that is the only prerequisite needed to have access to them. There are a few more things I advise you to do to make the Barrows Brothers even simpler:
Completion of In Aid of Myreque to be able to use the bank in Burgh de Rott.
If you want to earn money, you can finish the Morytania hard diary, which will offer you 50% more runes for each Barrows chest you open and give you unlimited teleports to Burgh de Rott, which would save you money on teleporting to Barrows.
By getting the Ghommal's hilt 2 after claiming the medium-tier awards from the combat accomplishments system, the barrows' ability to drain prayer would be neutralized.
60 combat
50 ranged
50 magic for Iban’s staff
43 prayer
55 slayer
40 agility
The quickest way to reach here is by utilizing the Barrows teleport tab or teleport that is unlocked at level 83 magic in the Arceuus spellbook and 60% Arceuus favor.
Using the Nexus teleport in a player-owned home would be an inexpensive and quick way to get here. This requires 72 construction and 200,000 coins.
You can also teleport to Mort’ton using the shades of Mort’ton teleport, which are obtained from all levels of Treasure Trails clues or the Mor’ton grouping teleport, then run there.
Fairy code B I P can be used, then run southeast to the Barrows brothers, but keep in mind that this approach needs 50 agility.
Another option is to use the Morytania 3 or 4 to get to Burgh de Rott and then run there.
You can use the Draken’s Medallion to teleport to Ver Sinhaza, leave, and make your way to Burgh de Rott's boat to travel to Burgh de Rot, then run north through Mor’ton to get to the Barrows.
Use the fairy ring B K R, then run to Swamp Boaty and use the ship to get to Mor'ton, then run to Barrows.It is recommended, before entering this minigame, to search for the plugin called "Barrows Brothers" and activate it, as it will help you in most of the minigame.
When you get the hang of fighting the Barrow brothers, it becomes rather simple to do; however, the equipment you utilize will determine how easy your Barrows runs will be
When completing Barrows, it's critical to use the best equipment available for your level.
Here is a list of suggested stats you should have to make Barrows worth it, since you will need to fight the Barrows brothers and numerous monsters that will attack your character, especially when you are underground in the crypt:
For a low-level setup, here is the gear you should use
Inventory
A balanced setup for someone past the “beginner” low-gear stage, but not yet stacking top-tier items.
Inventory
For players with strong stats and budgets to match — you’re going for maximum efficiency, minimal downtime, and fastest clears.

There are six burial mounds around the area of the Barrow brothers. If you use a spade to dig one of the mounds, you will find the brother's sarcophagus, and if you search the sarcophagus, the brother who resides there will emerge and attack you.
Here is the location of the Barrows brothers:
It would be wise to use protection prayers against Dharok, Karil, Verac, and Ahrim since they can deal a lot of damage without them. However, since Verac can hit through prayers, it is best to save him for last when you are low on prayer points so you can tank his hits.
If you have a good defense level and you can't easily kill all six brothers without prayer potions, or if you want to save prayer potions. Then, it is a good idea to kill Guthan and Torag at the end, along with Verac. Thus, the safest sequence would be
However, if you have good combat stats, the fastest sequence to get to each mound in the fastest time is:
First - Dharok
Second - Ahhrim
Third - Verac
Fourth - Torag
Fifth - Karil
Sixth - Guthan
To get a better chance of getting any of Barrow's outfits, you would have to kill all six of the brothers. You should make sure you use the appropriate protection prayer when digging the burial mounds. All the brothers use melee combat, except Ahrim, who uses magic, and Karil, who uses ranged.
The brothers would continuously drain your prayer every 14 seconds once you had entered each mound. Magic is the best combat style to use against all the brothers, except for killing Ahrim, who requires ranged combat. When you search one of the brothers' sarcophagi, which randomly changes each time, you will find a deeper crypt instead of the brother himself. It is best to kill the other brothers first before making your way into the deeper crypt.
Once you enter the crypt, you must find your way through the maze to reach the reward chest. You must try out several doors before determining which one will lead you to the right path to the reward chest.
As previously mentioned, once you enter the crypts, you must navigate a maze whose path is randomly chosen each time. You can only use trial and error to get to the center. Also, be sure to exercise caution because opening a door can cause any of these to spawn:
A 12/128 chance of the final Barrows brother
32/128 chance of a crypt rat
52/128 chance of a skeleton
The door leading to the reward chest requires you to solve a straightforward pattern puzzle, as shown below, which comes in four different varieties. If you fail the puzzle, the door leading to the central room will change, and you will have to run through the crypts and figure out the correct path again.
To maximize your rewards, you must first kill all six of the Barrow brothers' brothers to increase your chances of obtaining any of their equipment. Secondly, as previously mentioned, completing the Morytania hard diary will boost the runes awarded when the reward chest is opened.
Last but not least, you should reach 880 points, or 86.8%, as indicated by the game. This would eliminate the chance of obtaining bolt racks, half keys, and dragon med helms, as well as raise the number of runes granted and, therefore, raise the average value of the reward chests.
With the RuneLite plugin, it will turn green when you have the optimal percentage to claim the chest.
You can get around 880 points or 86.8% by killing:
The potential will be marked in the upper left part of your screen. When it is green, it means that you can loot the chest; this is increased by killing monsters.
If you have the Strange Old Pick equipped, you can use the lockpick to quickly pass through the doors leading to the central room, eliminating the possibility of any of those monsters spawning. However, most players discourage this since it decreases the likelihood of finding better loot because you will be killing fewer monsters.
