Learn how to complete the Barbarians' Course in Old School RuneScape! Get tips on navigating obstacles, managing damage, and earning Agility experience.

Alright, so you've hit level 35 Agility and finished up that Bar Crawl for the Scorpion Catcher? Awesome! Now you're ready to tackle the Barbarians' Course. To get there, you'll need to head way up north from Ardougne, past Baxtorian Falls. Make sure you've got that 35 Agility – it's what lets you slip through the pipe and onto the course itself. Just a heads-up, you can take some damage here if you mess up an obstacle, but don't worry, you won't die. The damage is based on your current HP, so you'll always be left with at least 1 HP.

The course layout can be a bit confusing, but think of it like this:

  • You'll start with a Rope Swing over some nasty spikes.
  • Next, you'll need to Balance on a Log over a pond.
  • After that, Climb a Net to get inside a building.
  • Then, you'll Walk over a Ledge, which also has spikes below.
  • Finally, you'll jump over three Crumbling Walls, and bam! You're done.

Here's a breakdown of the experience you'll get for each obstacle:

Crumbling Walls12.5 Each

Tips
  • The Rope Swing, Log, and Ledge can all deal damage if you fail them, so pay attention!
  • The Crumbling Walls are done one after another, so try to keep your momentum.
  • Even though you can take damage, it's a great way to train Agility and get used to navigating courses.
