Tip #1
I reccomend killing the barrow brothers in this order:
1. Dharok
2. Karil
3. Verac
4.(Arkisae if you beat ritual of the mahjarrat) if not then ahrim
5.Torag
6.Guthan
Tip #2
If you can, I highly reccomend beating the Ritual of the Mahjarrat and Branches of Darkmeyer. The reason why is because if you do beat the Ritual of the Mahjarrat, you have an extra Barrows brother, Akrisae, which you can kill for more valuable items then Torags. Also, if you beat branches of darkmeyer, not only do you get a staright teleport to the Barrows, but as well as a teleport to an altar (darkmeyer) and a bank (Burgh de Rott). What's better, the amulet doesnt waste charges if you are anywhere in Mortyana! Those are my tips, good luck people :)

If you're lower level I would bring a Ring Of Life, just incase you get hit hard. Don't take any chances! Especially if you're bringing rather expensive armour with you. You will probably not have enough time getting back to your grave stone before it is gone.

Tip #1: I highly suggest you use void melee w/ korasi and regular equipment and void mage w/ deflector & Polypore staff, any magical top, and regular magic equipment w/ using soul wars cape to minimize too many prayer potion dosages.
Tip#2: When you first start out, take two sips of a prayer potion and kill in this order: Dharok - Ahrims - Akrisae ( IF ROTM IS COMPLETED) - Verac - Guthans - Karils - Torag. Your prayer will probably be gone by Verac. After Ahrims - Verac, take only one sip of a prayer potion for any subsequent brother. P.S, the reason why Ahrims and karils are apart is because if you used any special attack on ahrims, the bar would be restored by the time you came to Karils and would result in a faster trip.

1. Poison is a good way to kill the Barrows brothers if you are low level so you can run behind the sarcophagus while the poison lowers their health.
2. Bringing magic gear would help alot for this activity since 4 of the 6 Barrows brothers r melee.

Try and get the quest Branches of Darkmeyer done!
That Drakan medallion can make you be able to bank after every round and replenish your supplies in a matter of seconds if you have everything in 1 bank tab (teleporting between Barrows and Burgh de Rott)

Not to mention you can teleport with it right back to Barrows right after you open your chest, so you never have to bother going back through the dungeon!

ah yes the barrow brothers, something ive hade quite a bit of experiance with. i have see many a number of tactics but the best one that works is quite simple, maging them. All except one is week to magic so maging them is the best method out there. weither your using slayer dart, a poly staff or ice blitzing them, magic is the way to go. only use ice barrage or blitz if money is not an option due to the high cost per spell.
One should ALWAYS take out dharok first due to his special of amaging you heavily when he is low on health. do not let up until he is dead...again. praying plays a big part in killing all the brothers. you MUST pray melee against dharok or he can kill you in one hit. scary.
karil is next up. pray range against him and mage him. it may sound weird to mage him, but even though hes a ranger hes pretty weak to magic.
next is verac and akrisae for those who have done ritual for the mahjarrat. akisae acts like a weaker version of a tormented demon and as such this is where korasi's sword comes in handy. mage hiw with whatever spell you have to make him pray mage. then begin to melee him til he prays agains that. spec him then melee him and if need be mage him again. due to the korasis swords special being magic based you prevent having to switch once. now fighting veracs can be tricky. maging works but you have to watch him, he can hit throught your prayer.
the next two to take down are torag and guthan. the same strategy works for both of them, pray melee and mage them. gutans can heal himself if you dont pray melee.
now for the one who isnt weak to magic, ahrims. one could use a melee weapon. a whip is good and also korasi's sword is great for its special. or if you want, a bow or crossbow works just as well.
when you search the coffins youll come across one that leads to and underground pathway. it is best to defeat all the other barrows brothers before going down this coffin. any undefeated barrows brother can attack yo
