Barrows Guide 2023

Barrows is a thrilling PvM (Player vs. Monster) based minigame in Old School RuneScape, where players venture into the crypts of the Barrows Brothers to seek valuable items. To succeed, players must enter 6 different crypts and search the sarcophagi. Five of the sarcophagi will spawn a powerful Barrows Brother, and the sixth crypt, randomly assigned, leads to tunnels beneath the crypts, where the final chest awaits.

Players can improve their chances of obtaining desirable loot by defeating as many Barrows Brothers as possible on their way to the final chest. Each brother corresponds to specific armor or weapons, so players must have defeated the relevant brother before looting the final chest to obtain a specific item.

Barrows is known for its unique and powerful equipment, making it a sought-after minigame for adventurers seeking valuable gear. It offers a thrilling challenge, and successful players can earn valuable rewards. Gather your gear and prepare for an exciting journey through the crypts of the Barrows Brothers! Good luck in your quest for riches!

Location: The above-ground portion of Barrows has six burial mounds inside a stone fence. Each mound leads to a crypt belonging to one of the Barrows brothers.

Access: Use a spade to dig on top of these mounds to enter the respective crypt.

Ahrim's Crypt: Located in the center.

Dharok's Crypt: Located north-east.

Guthan's Crypt: Located south-east.

Karil's Crypt: Located south.

Torag's Crypt: Located south-west.

Verac's Crypt: Located north-west.

Crypt Contents: Each crypt contains a sarcophagus. Five of them will spawn a Barrows brother, and the sixth sarcophagus (randomly assigned) leads to the tunnels beneath the crypts.

Exploring the Tunnels: Upon entering the tunnels, players can navigate through a maze-like area to find the final chest containing valuable loot.

To maximize your chances of finding Barrows equipment in the rewards chest and minimize the Prayer drain effect while underground in the Barrows area, follow these tips:

When you venture into the tunnels beneath the crypts, you will start on the outer side and must navigate your way to the center. The tunnels are infested with rats, bloodworms, spiders, and skeletons. Additionally, there is a 12/128 chance that a remaining Barrows brother will spawn when opening any of the doors.

While exploring the tunnels, you will encounter locked doors, which can prolong your journey to the center. To enter the final chamber, you will also need to solve a puzzle combination. However, if you possess a Strange old lockpick, you can open every locked door, significantly speeding up your progress and increasing the number of trips and profit per hour.

Using the Strange old lockpick efficiently will allow you to reach the center of the tunnels faster and encounter fewer obstacles, enhancing your overall experience in the Barrows minigame.

In the Barrows tunnels, the door leading to the main rewards chest room is locked with a simple puzzle. There are a total of 4 different puzzles, each with randomized positions for the answers. It is crucial to answer correctly, as getting it wrong will cause the doors and ladders in the tunnels to shift again. This means you have to navigate back through the tunnels to find the new main entrance door to the rewards chest.

To avoid this inconvenience, you can use the Runelite plugin, which has an auto-highlight feature that will show you the correct answer. Take your time to ensure you answer correctly and make your way smoothly to the main rewards chest room.

After looting the rewards chest in the Barrows, the barrows brother whose crypt the player entered through will spawn and start attacking you if he was not already killed in the tunnels. If you didn't receive your loot, remember to click the chest again as it requires two clicks—one to open and a second to loot.

As soon as you loot the rewards chest, the arrangement of doors and rooms will switch around, meaning the path you used to get to the chest will likely be different now. Additionally, the tunnels will start to shake and collapse, causing occasional damage to the player.

If you didn't kill any of the brothers during your run, they will be guaranteed to spawn when you open one of the doors, especially if you plan to escape manually via one of the ladders. The most efficient way to escape is by teleporting out. When you teleport or leave through the ladders, the minigame will automatically reset, allowing you to start again from the beginning and kill the brothers once more.

To maximize your points in the Barrows minigame and receive the maximum amount of runes while removing the chance of receiving half keys, dragon med helms, and bolt racks, you can achieve 880 points by killing the following combinations:

By carefully choosing which monsters to kill during your run, you can maximize your points and increase the average value of each loot. Aim for 880 points to get the most out of your Barrows runs and enhance your rewards. Good luck on your Barrows adventures!
