Dharok the Wretched

Dharok the Wretched 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 more slowly than the other brothers (around the speed of a 2h sword), but he has the ability to hit up to 580 when he is at low health, and thus he is considered by most players to be the most dangerous Barrows brother. It is strongly recommended that you watch your prayer extremely closely while fighting Dharok. If you are using magic, the black salamander works well, although slayer dart 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.

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.

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.
 * 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 is seeming 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.
