Akrisae the Doomed

Akrisae the Doomed is the seventh and youngest Barrows brother. He is only accessible after completing the quest Ritual of the Mahjarrat. His tomb is connected to Verac's.

He is the wight of Akrisae Kolluym, who was turned by Sliske during Ritual of the Mahjarrat, jumping in the way of Sliske's spell to save the player.

He attacks using melee. Unlike the other Barrows brothers, he uses protection prayers. He switches prayer according to the player's attack style, similar to Tormented demons. If you attack Akrisae for long enough he will eventually run out of prayer like a normal player would.

Akrisae's accuracy and defence are both relatively low. He can be killed without prayer fairly easily. However, players may need to turn on protect/deflect melee if Arkisae gets a couple of max hits (340 damage each) during the fight.

Using melee and switching to a ranged weapon when Arkisae uses protect from melee is easily sufficient to defeat him. Another useful method is to use a black salamander and switching between its attack styles (melee, ranged, magic) as needed.

An alternative to defeat Arkisae is to use melee. Once he uses protect from melee, switch to Korasi's sword and use its special attack, which will force Arkisae to switch to to protect from magic. This method can be enhanced by using a Recover Special potion. Attack Akrisae with melee and wait for him to switch to protect from melee. Then use the sword's special attack and he will switch to protect from magic. Now attack again with melee and use your Recover Special potion. After some hits, Akrisae will once again switch to protect from melee. Now again use the special attack and if necessary, continue attacking him with melee. Usually this cycle of three attacks with melee and two using the magic special sword is enough to kill him. In rare cases he will have some lifepoints left, in which case switch to a range weapon to finish him off.

The staff of light is another useful method of killing Akrisae. Due to it's dual-attack of melee and mage, it's very quick to melee him, and then cast a spell, alternating between magic and melee without ever needing to change weapon. Although magic is not AS strong as ranged against Akrisae, it is still possible to regularly hit 200+ with Ice Barrage.

Akrisae's equipment, as with all the brothers' equipment, has a special set effect. When using the full Akrisae set, players have a 75% chance of boosting their prayer for 25% of the amount they hit. This proves to be very useful for players who use Soul Split and other situations in which prayer is used.

Trivia

 * Players who have completed Ritual of the Mahjarrat cannot see players who have not completed the quest whilst in the Verac crypt. This is because the Verac's crypt which links to Akrisae's crypt and Verac's normal crypt are in fact two separate dungeons.
 * Akrisae is not known to be an actual 'brother' as the other brothers lived millennia ago. However, Akrisae's life story is not well known, and one possibility is that he could be a descendant of the brothers in some fashion. Also, Arkisae was a priest of Saradomin while the brothers were Saradominist warriors, so some spiritual brotherhood via worship of Saradomin is possible.
 * According to lore, the original Barrows Brothers died before they were transformed into wights. However, Akrisae was very much alive when it happened to him or it could be the spell that transformed him into a wight also killed him at the same time.
 * Even if your combat level is less than his (115), the left-click option on him will still be attack, unlike the other Barrows Brothers.
