*NOTE: This is my guide from the RuneScape forum, under Monsters.
I have been to Barrows Numerous Times, and I thought I would make a Guide about it for others to read and learn from. I hope you enjoy my Guide, and use it while Barrowing.
I will also be answering all kinds of Barrow questions. Just ask, and I'll try my best to answer. ^_^

~-= Getting to the Barrows =-~
You must have completed the Priest In Peril Quest to get to the Barrows.
1.Go to Northwest from Varrock until you come to a gate. Go through that gate, and continue eastward until you come to a big house/church. Go a bit north, and you will come to a ladder. Climb down the ladder, and follow the path until you come to a monk. Pass him, and continue through a door.
2.Now, you are in Morytania. Go south until you come to Uzulias and a gate. Go Through the gate, and continue southward until you come to an island.
3.From that island, go south and follow the winding path until you finish and come to a small town called Mortton.
4.Continue east, and you will come to a large fenced area. Go Inside, and you will be at the Burial ground of the Barrow Brothers.

This Was My First Title:
~-=Blazers Guide To Barrows=-~

~-= Section Number Two =-~
~-= Barrow Brothers and Locations =-~
There are 6 Barrow Brothers. One mage brother, one ranged Brother, and four melee Brothers. All of them are fairly strong, and I suggest if you watch your screen incase your prayer runs out, or you get a high hit on you. After all, there have been hits by these Barrow Brothers recorded in the 50s!
Ahrim The Blighted - Level 98 - Middle Hill
Ahrim The Blighted is the Magic Barrow Brother. He uses Fire Wave which can hit up to 20. Ahrim also uses a spell that weakens your attack level. I always Range him, as I rarely do damage using magic or melee.
---
Karil The Tainted - Level 98 - Southern Hill
Karil The Tainted uses a Crossbow as his weapon, making him the Ranged Barrow Brother. He is fairly easy to kill with Magic Spells, I always use Fire Blast and it works. Dragon Weapons, useing Melee Is also A Good Way to Fight Karil. In my eyes, he is the weakest of the Barrow Brothers.
---
Torag The Corrupted - Level 115 - South - Western Hill
Torag The Corrupted is one of the Four Barrow Brothers that uses Melee. His weapon, which is two hammers, can hit fairly hard. From my point of view, he is the Weakest of the Melee Barrow Brothers.
---
Guthan The Infested - Level 115 - South - Eastern Hill
Guthan The Infested is on the stronger side of the Barrow Brothers. His War - spear has hit 35+ on me without Protect from Melee on. I suggest using Magic to kill Guthan.
~-= Section Number Three =-~
~-= Barrow Brothers and Locations =-~ (Continued)
Verac The Defiled - Level 115 - North - Western Hill
Verac The Defiled uses a flail, which is also known as a mace and chain. He can hit very hard, and I suggest using Magic or good ranged on him.
---
Dharok The Wretched - Level 115 - North - Eastern Hill
Dharok The Wretched is the strongest Barrows Brother in my eyes. He has hits recorded in the 50s, and is sometimes very difficult to kill. I Always use Protection Spells when fighting him, keep my prayer high and Use Fire Blast. Always Watch the fight when Battling Dharok, as He may hit you with a little surprise
---
On All of these Barrow Brothers, I have used the correct protection Spells, and used Fire Blast. On Ahrim, I have used A Magic Shortbow and Iron Arrows.
Remember to ALWAYS watch your prayer, health and the Barrow Brother you are Battling. Your prayer lowers constantly, so bring lots of Prayer Potions.

~-= Section Number Five =-~
~-= The Chest And Catcombs =-~
In My eyes, getting to the Chest, and runing through the Catcombs is the hardest Part. There are Numerous Monsters down there, and Your Mini-map is blank. I suggest killing atleast 5 of the Barrow Brothers until you enter the Catcombs.
Catcomb Monsters-
Crpyt Rat - Level 43
Blood Worm - Level 52
Crypt Spider - Level 56
Giant Crypt Rat - Level 76
Skeletons - Level 77
Giant Crypt Spider - Level 79
Any Barrow Brother That You Have Not Killed.
When Down in the Catcombs, All of these creatures will attack you when you go from Room to Room.
---
When Running through the Catcombs, try your best to get to the center part of the maze, where the chest would be located.
---
After a bit, you will come to a door with a puzzle. Answer the Puzzle Question, and you will be able to enter the Chest Room. Open, then search the chest, and you will get a reward. I always Teleport out right after I search the Chest.
---
When Doing the Puzzles to get in the Chest Room, one of the Monsters (Listed on previou Post) may attack you. I just quickly kill it, then go back to the puzzle.
The Puzzle is fairly easy, and after a while, you remember all four of the answers.
~-= Section Number Six =-~
~-= Barrow Rewards And Armour =-~
When Opening the Chest, you don't have the best chance of getting Barrows Items, but when you do get one, you make some pretty good cash
Usually, you will get a number of Runes and various amounts of Cash.
