Dharok the Wretched

Dharok the Wretched, abbreviated by players as DH, is the second oldest of the six Barrows brothers. He attacks with melee, and the lower his health is, the harder he hits. Dharok attacks much slower than the other brothers (around the speed of a 2h sword), but he has the ability to hit up to 680 when he is at low health, and thus he is considered by most players to be one of the most dangerous of the Barrows brothers. It is strongly recommended that you watch your prayer extremely closely while fighting Dharok. If you are using magic, slayer dart works well, although a black salamander may be used as a substitute.

Due to his potency many players choose to safe spot Dharok in the Tunnels of Barrows, using one of the many rocks as cover to mage behind however this can be dangerous if the player can't get the spot quickly as Dharok can kill the player. Others use ancient magicks spells, normally ice spells to kill him without risk. The normal practice is to go for Dharok first when your prayer is fully charged to make sure that the kill is safer. Some players use vengeance here to hit high damage on him, this is unreccomended if you are uncomfortable with losing a lot of life points.

If your prayer runs out it is highly recommended you leave the crypt as Dharok can easily 2-hit any player at full health while his health is low due to his special trait. It is highly recommended not to kill Dharok if you have a shaky connection, as a crash with low prayer and him having low health to kill you and making it impossible to get your items back fast enough.

Trivia

 * During the quest "While Guthix Sleeps" Lucien raises several undead heroes before he finds the player. While the ones wearing green appear to resemble them, whether they are really the Barrows Brothers or not is unknown.
 * Although his in-game spirit has a long beard, the portrait of him does not. This is probably just a small oversight.
 * He seems to wear a Cape of legends. It is also possible this is simply the same cape worn by the skeletons in the tunnels.
 * Ever since the Animation Pack 1 update there seems to be a Saradomin star on the crossing of Dharok's Greataxe- this is not a surprise because the barrows brothers were devoted to Saradomin.
 * Dharok appears to hold the Greataxe as a one handed weapon but the axe is actually, two-handed. This could be because the real Dharok may have been stronger than normal humans in Runescape, or a graphical oversight.
 * In the God wars dungeon, the Zamorakian Spiritual warriors seem to wear a red version of Dharok's chest and leg armour.
 * In the Funorb game Armies of Gielinor, Dharok seems to wield the newly updated Axe in one hand.
 * Dharok, along with the other barrows brothers, received a graphical update to make them look more like players wearing the items.
 * Dharok is the second oldest brother. All barrows brothers' ages are based on the place they are sorted alphabetically.
 * Many melee pkers rely on his equipment for the wonderful strength bonus that it has.Dharok.png
