i go through barrows with level 60+ mage with the following process.
equiped: iban staff, any other mage gear i have that i am willing to risk. unholy book and symbol reccomended for the prayer and magic bonuses. (mostly the prayer) ring of life also recommended.
inventory:
up to 120 deaths (same # of charges on your staff)
up to 600 fires (5 times as many as deaths
45 nature runes
60 water runes*
60 earth runes*
2 prayer potions
dragon dagger w/super poison
1 combat potion (optional for ahrim)
a teleport object. ring of dueling, teletab, echtophial, glory, home port, etc.
fill the rest of your inventory with food, at least lobsters for beginners.
!!!!!!!!DO NOT FORGET YOUR SPADE!!!!!!!!
* if you want to, you can substitute the water and earths for mud runes to add a food space.
with this setup, ahrim is actually your toughest enemy, so its good to take him out first. hed down his tomb and equip your dds. drink a swig of combat potion if you like, then put on protect form magic and open his crypt. if ahrim pops out, yay! quad spec. him, and you should be fine. do not use a prayer potion. if you run out of prayer, run behind the tomb so ahrim cannot attack you. then sit for a while till you can spec., or till ahrim dies of poison.
if he isn't there, then boo!!! that means you have to fight ahrim in the last fight and be more careful with consumption of your supplies.
next up, karil. equip the staff of iban, make sure you have enough prayer to get through the fight. if you ran out on ahrim, then drink 2 doses of potion before you enter the tomb. turn on protect from missiles and open the tomb. flip to your spell book and ccast ibans blast on karil. it should take no more than 12 blasts to kill any of the brothers (except ahrim).
now, go to any of the melee brother's tombs and enter it. dont turn on prayer, but be sure that you can run. open their tomb, then run to the opposite side so they cannot attack you. now look at the folloing diagram:
x = brother, o = you.
_________________________
|............................(O2)
|
|...................2
|..........__ __ __ __ X
|.........|..Im a scary....|
|.... 1..|..tomb--rawr...|
|........|__ __ __ __ __|
|............................(X2)
|...................3
|
|_______________ O ______|
so right now you are up against the wall as far away from the brother as you can be. open the magic menu, then move one step to the right, and as soon as the brother has stepped out from behind the tomb, cast a snare on him. now fire off 3 iban blasts, then click, the square at point 1 and the 2 in that order, imediately after you start fireing the third shot. why then? because that is when snare wears off, and the target will start moving in to attack you.
now move to O2, and the brother will be at X2. then just repeat the process, but backwards. when you cast the third spell, run to 1 and then 3.
repeat 1-2 times untill the brother is dead, then leave the tomb.
if you time it right, you wont get hit except when you first open their tomb. if you want to pray on any of the brothers, pray on dharok, because you don't want him hitting in the 50s because of a 1/10 of a second mistake. and if you do pray, don't bother casting snare, it wastes runes. they cant damage you anyway (except verac)
when you find the empty tomb, leave it and continue to the other tombs first, then come back.
so, if you have done everything as stated, and had a little luck, you will potentially have up to 6 doses of prayer potion left, and probably more than 70% of the food you brought with you. time to go back to the empty tomb and run a lot. with at lease 80 % run, enter the catacombs. from here, i've found that running strait till you i.d. the center room, and then orbiting it to the puzzle door, works best here. if your encounter your last brother in the passageways, i suggest just killing them there. if it is verac or ahrim, run away and continue on to the puzzle door. if it isn't, just protect mele/ranged and blast away, all the while watching your prayer and drinking a potion occasionally.
so now you solve the puzzle, and it bites, and you get to the center chamber. you'll find a random enemy in there, just kill it now, or it will bug you. melee it with any weapon, but dont waste too much food.
if you have killed all 6 brothers, just open the chest and teleport away with your reward. if you get torag, dharok, guthan, or karil, just through on your protect prayer and blast them. if it is ahrim, swig some combat potion and fill your prayer (2 doses, 3 if your prayer is fully drained.), and switch to you dds. turn on protect magic, open the chest, and quad spec him. same strategy as if he were in his tomb.
as for verac, if he is the only one you have not killed yet, try to use a similar strategy to the one you would use in his tomb. the chest is a little smaller and shaped funny due to 2 lamps on either side, so it shoudl be easy to figure it out.
now open the chest, and view your reward in your inventory. be sure that you don't leave soem of your reward behind... in the unlikely case that yoru invent is nearly full, some of your treasure may drop to the ground. thats when you eat something and pick up your sneaky prize
ok, you're done. or are you? after you loot the chest, the catacomb starts to shake violently. you can do 1 or 2 things... 1) try to run back to the ladder and escape from the barrows, or 2) activate your teleport. then give yoruself a pat on the back for being a smart cookie.
lol, i might make this into a barrows guide (like we need any more)
