If you use black salamanders with harralander tar ammunition, you can adjust your style of attack for the brother you are fighting; the attacks are accurate and can deal decent damage at high levels. If you don't have the requirements then you should ice burst or ice barrage everyone except Ahrim, who you should melee. When fighting Dharok, always keep your prayer above 100 or you might get one-hitted by his special at low health.

1: If you are trying Barrows out for the first time, or your combat is simply low, do not hesitate on killing the brothers one at a time. Back when I started barrows, I was killing 3 brothers, then go bank and get back.
2: If you are only after high loot, and do not want Torag armour for example, simply don't kill Torag. Killing one brother gives you a chance of getting his armour as loot, not killing him won't give you this chance, but it won't reduce your chances of getting armour from the other brothers either!

I have been defeating the barrows brothers since i was lvl 70. So heres my tip: If your a low level trying to get in on the riches that are abundant in the tombs, i suggest using the god spells. ( Flames of Zamorak, Claws of Guthix Ect.) Because it only requires 60 magic to preform, and they hit relatively high. Some good armour to bring would be mystic robes of any kind, for they are easily attainable, cheap, and dont make you cry when you lose them. For inventory filler I suggest 5-8 preayer potions or super restores, a super set (defence, strength, attack) for when you fight Karil and Ahrim, Dragon Dagger, a quick teleport method such as a Varrock Teleport Tab, (Incase of Emergencies) then fill the rest with sharks. I normally go after the melee brothers first, as this setup is mostly for magic. Then dose up on the super set and take on Karil with the dragon dagger. After that finish Ahrim off with either magic or your dragon dagger and your good to go.
Hope this tip was helpful.

You can try to kill Ahrim with a dds spec. Bring some super pots, put your mage pray on, take your dds and spec him. For the others brothers, you can bring a Black Salamander and some Harralander Tar for your Salamander. Equip your little Salamander, your Harralander Tar, put the little mage combat style and kill them.
Prayer to use : For Dharok : Melee Pray
Ahrim : Mage Pray
Other brothers : No pray needed just some food.

1.) Use a salamander, seeing as the brothers cover all 3 areas of combat, this will allow you to have an advantage in every fight and still have room for food.
2.) NEVER FORGET YOUR SPADE
3.) Bring a teleport to leave the tunnels quickly
4.) Go with a friend, just in case something goes wrong.
5.) If you have a good ring, take both it and your Ring of Wealth. The combat ring will help you defeat the brothers, and the wealth will give you the better loot from the chest.
6.) Remember, it's a game. So no matter what you do, HAVE FUN! :D

1. Prayer is your friend! Remember one dose of a prayer potion (which under normal circumstances will recover 1/3 of your prayer points) is around the price of a shark. Even if you're a really high defence level, use prayer as often as necessary to try to reduce the need for food to zero. This way you will be able to do more chest runs every trip and probably also save some money too. By the way, using magic protection or deflection also immunizes you from Ahrim's stat lowering effect and spells.

1) If you have guthans you can heal on the monsters in the tunnels so you can do more trips without going to a bank.
2) Very helpful to is having binding spells like snare are ice barrage so the brother can't attack you. This can safe you prayer potions and food => more trips without the need for going to a bank.
A lot of fun at barrows :D

1. People often use their special attacks on Karil due to his weakness against melee, however it's far more effective to unload them on Ahrim as you want to dispatch him as quickly as possible to avoid having your stats lowered.
2. Using magic may appear expensive, but if you kill 3-5 creatures before looting the chest you will often always gain more runes than you used, or at least cover the cost.
