Barrows/Strategies

This page shows various strategies which may help you to kill the Barrows Brothers.

Suggested skill levels

 * 60+ for Claws of Guthix OR 35+ for Fire Bolts (if Maging)
 * 85+ and  (if Meleeing)
 * 60+ (if Ranging Ahrim)
 * 70+ (if you plan to tank most brothers)
 * 43+ (highly recommended to block all damage from the brothers, especially Dharok)

Suggested quests

 * Started a Fairy Tale II - Cure a Queen for access to Fairy ring transportation, using either ring in the Mort Myre Swamp or ring  in the Myreque Hideout tunnels.
 * Started Nature Spirit for faster travel to the Barrows area.
 * Completion of In Search of the Myreque to access a shortcut from Canifis to The Hollows and then the Swamp Boaty from there to Mort'ton.
 * Completion of In Aid of the Myreque for access to a bank in Burgh de Rott, which is close to the Barrows.

Armour
Because the melee barrows brothers have such low magic defence, it does not matter whether you wear melee or magic gear if you plan to attack them with magic.


 * Note: if you plan to range, it is always recommended to bring your best ranged body and chaps.
