Your Barrows Tips
Quick find code: 254-255-45-63490359
Barrows' has always been and still is one of the best mini-games around!
Tip1; efficiently killing barrows brothers, with the release of the new Polypore staff' all barrow brothers are now equally vulnerable to a single style of attack (Magic). Also note, to have the desired effect of the polypore staff on Ahrim and Karil, it's always best to have good magic bonus armour.
Tip2; Efficiently killing barrows brothers, when you have prayer points the following order of brothers should be killed (considering you are using the method above, with/without using snare "regular magic" or ice "ancient magiks"
- Karil, Ahrim, Dharok, Guthan, Torag and finally Verac, without prayer points reverse the order, as the two opposite brothers will deal most damage at the end.
Ooo_Jin_ooO, the barrows, where death is just the beginning.

I kill them in an order specifically due to their effects and how dangerous they are with or without prayer:
Dharok (Can one shot unsuspecting players)
Ahrim
Karil
Guthan
Torag
Verac (Prayer is the least useful here)
(Taken into account if you use protect from- prayers)
________________________________________________________________
Although Verac makes Prayer useless sometimes, it will stop some of his hits so combine it with a super defense potion to make him hardly hit.
I tend to use the slayer dart method with the melee brothers and Karil due to it being relatively cheap and needing lower levels to use. Also the supplying runes needed are given as rewards from barrows itself, making additional runs cheaper.
With Ahrim i prefer the rune crossbow with broad headed bolts as they are an alternative to adamant bolts and often are cheaper than them.
Getting there also need planning if your new, complete the 'In search of the Myreque' quest to gain access to the shortcut that means your less vulnerable to Ghasts and save more run energy if you are killed or need to run the tunnels.
Getting to Canifis is also an issue, complete 'Ghosts Ahoy' quest to use the Ectophial or use a Kharyrll teleport spell/portal from your house (Ancients spell book, 50 construction) or another house (World 31), or fairy ring C-K-S.
Getting back from the tunnels are solved with the Ectophial or home teleport tablets (uses 1 space instead of 2 or 3).
Only bring small amounts of food if you are using protect from prayers as the amount of prayer pots needed are high (you can bring a holy wrench from 'Rum Deal' for a prayer pot bonus if you wish). Always decant your potions manually or using Bob Barter in the G.E. to save space to save space for rewards or extra food.
If possible, try to do the activity in a group or with friends so you can trade supplies if you forget essentials (food, pots) and save your stuff if you die by forgetting prayer or food.
NEVER forget to loot the chest. Gl

You don't need one any more Collasol, there are now spades left conveniently on top of every mound!
===============================================
Tip for fighting Akris**:
Hit him with Korasi's sword until he switches on protect from melee, then use Korasi's special attack, which is mage based.

Who's the cat that won't cop out when there's danger all about?
