Mechanics

The Brothers

⬥ Being that this is an older encounter, there aren't really many mechanics to be wary of. • Each brother has a mechanic, which can mostly be ignored. ⬩ Dharok increases his damage dealt, the lower his life points get. • Being underground will periodically drain your prayer points. • The catacombs are a maze, with a simple puzzle at the end.

The Catacombs

⬥ Searching one of the sarcophagi will place you in a random corner of the catacombs. • This sarcophagus is random, and normally reserved for last. ⬥ The catacombs are composed of a series of tunnels, in the shape of a 3x3 grid, with a treasure room in the center. • The path to the center is randomly generated. ⬥ The door leading to the center of the catacombs will have one of four, simple puzzles, which always have the same solution.
