Smite Barrows

At a glance#

The hill#

The Barrows has been rebuilt on the classic layout: six tombs facing each other across one paved avenue, three to the north and three to the south. Each tomb has a stone doorway and a statue of its god at the mouth. The stairs at the back of each passage take you down to that brother's crypt.

A run, step by step#

1. 1
   Go down. Walk into any tomb and take the stairs at the back of the passage. You arrive in that brother's crypt. The stairs in the crypt take you back up.
2. 2
   Wake the brother. Search the sarcophagus. He rises with "You dare disturb my rest!" and attacks. Each run is your own - nobody else can steal your kill.
3. 3
   Kill all six - except one. One sarcophagus each run hides a passage instead of its brother. It stays shut until the other five are dead ("Slay the other brothers first (3/5)"). The overlay tracks who is down: names turn from red to green.
4. 4
   Drop into the tunnels. Search the hidden sarcophagus once the five are slain. You land at the edge of the tunnels. The doors between chambers simply open - there is no riddle.
5. 5
   Open the chest. The sixth brother rises beside it: "You dare steal from us!" Kill him, then loot. You need four free inventory slots.
6. 6
   Get out. Once looted, the ceiling starts collapsing - a few hp every five seconds while you are in the tunnels. Leave by the west or east stairs, which bring you up at the east end of the hill.

The hidden tomb is random each run (one in six) and is rerolled every time you loot the chest. Your progress is saved: leaving or teleporting only resets a brother you had woken but not killed.

The brothers#

Every brother has 20,000 hp. None of them is aggressive - nothing happens until you search the sarcophagus.

Expected Player Power#

The teleport menu rates the Barrows at Power ~4,000, from the brothers' 20,000 hp. As a rough guide:

There is no scaling: the brothers are the same strength for everyone, so a stronger account simply runs laps faster.

The chest#

Every row below rolls on its own, every chest.

Reward	Amount	Chance
Dracma	180,000-420,000	Always
Worn Mystery Box	1-2	1 in 3
Ichor Mote	20-45	1 in 8
Charmed Mystery Box	1	1 in 5
Radiant Mystery Box	1	1 in 12
Ascendant Mystery Box	1	1 in 40
Titan Core	1	1 in 1,000
A god armour piece	1	1 in 6 - announced to the server
Staff of Cerce	1	1 in 5,000 - announced to the server

There is no bonus for kill order or speed: a full run is a full roll.

The god armour#

The armour roll picks one piece from six god sets, 49 pieces in all. Each set is a complete outfit at tier 116 - rung four on the gear ladder, a strong mid-game set.

Each piece also adds drop rate while worn: +4% for the helmet, body, legs and weapon, +3% for the smaller pieces.
