The Barrows is an are-based minigame focusing on combat.
There are no requirements to play the minigame except for a high combat level.
To complete the minigame, you need to defeat six Barrows brothers by digging each of their graves.
If there’s a tunnel in one of the graves, you need to enter it after you’ve defeated the other 5 Barrows brothers.
Once you’re inside the tunnel, you need to navigate to the center of the maze.
The door to the center of the maze requires you to solve a puzzle.
Here’s the question, “Which is the next shape in the above sequence?”.
There are 4 puzzles in total—Decreasing number of sides, Rotating arrow, Rising grey space, and Clockwise grey space.
