Verac the Defiled


 * For information about the armour look at the Barrows equipment page.



Verac the Defiled is the youngest of the six Barrows brothers. He attacks with melee and has the chance of nullifying the effect of a player's prayer and armour, enabling himself to hit very high. The Protect from Melee Prayer is advised to be kept on whilst fighting him; although he is capable of ignoring your prayer, it will often protect you from his hits, giving you a difference that may save your life. While using Protect from Melee or Deflect Melee, Verac's maximum hit is reduced from 240 to 155.

High defence levels and binding spells are the only reliable sources of protection when Verac attacks. He is level 115 and is relatively vulnerable to magic attacks. Black salamanders are recommended against this enemy, or the Magic Dart spell if the player does not have the required stats for the salamanders.

Trivia

 * When the Barrows were first introduced, the Verac's top had an unusual side effect: any female character wearing it seemed to be topless, making the chest appear masculine. Jagex has since fixed this graphical mistake.
 * Verac the Defiled's armour is based on the armour of "the Murmillo", one of the types of gladiators in ancient Rome. It has many resemblances, the most obvious of which being his brassard and helm.
