Barrows is located to the east of Mort 'ton, in Morytania. The fastest way to Mort 'ton is by using the Fairy Ring and running to Boaty (code is BKR). You can also use the cellar behind the Canifis pub if you have not completed the Lost City quest. You then make your way to the bridge suspended between the two trees. A little further down is Boaty, the boat. There is currently no departure fee, and you will be taken right next to the Barrows burial grounds. You can also run through the swamp, but this is not recommended due to the spoiling of food and an overall tedious route. | Barrows is located to the east of Mort 'ton, in Morytania.

The brothers are located in the six different grave mounds spread over the complex. Digging on top of a grave mound will gain you access to the crypt of each respective Barrows brother. Entering one of these mounds and clicking on a tomb will disturb the rest of the brother inside. There they will engage you in combat. During the fight, your prayer will be DRAINED by the Curse of the Barrows Brothers. As you go through each of the grave mounds, one of the crypts will lead into the Tunnel, a simple maze where the last brother will be waiting. You must defeat ALL the brothers to claim the loot stored in the treasure room. The Tunnel doors will randomize after every successful run after leaving underground. | The brothers are located in the six different grave mounds spread over the complex.

Rather than aimlessly wandering through the tunnels. A quick zoom out can allow you to see which of the four treasure room doors is the accessible one. Before entering any room, an experienced player can check to see if the doors ahead are locked or not. This takes practice, but we guarantee this to be the most reliable means for navigating the tunnel. | Rather than aimlessly wandering through the tunnels.

If you are trying to maximize runs, it is better to exit the way you came so that the minigame will reset and you can begin again immediately. This is highly recommended unless you have lost track of your path. Even some veteran players prefer to bank after every run. | If you are trying to maximize runs, it is better to exit the way you came so that the minigame will reset and you can begin again immediately.

Higher level players with 60 prayer and above can complete the Barrows without using prayer potions, this can be done by quickly killing Dharok, Verac, and Karil (Assuming they are not in the Tunnel) and using armoured magics VS Guthan, Range VS Ahrim, and magic VS Torag.
