Verac the Defiled

Verac the Defiled is the youngest of the six Barrows brothers. Like most brothers, he attacks with melee, using his flail.

Verac's set effect: Verac's Defilement, allows Verac's hits to have a chance to ignore the player's armour bonuses in a similar fashion to a player wearing a full set of Verac's equipment. This effect does not trigger any animations or sound effects, so players should monitor their life points carefully. Protect from Melee/Deflect Melee is advised when attacking Verac to lower his overall max hit.

Barrows
Verac's crypt is located to the north-west of the Barrows area. He also shares this crypt with Akrisae the Doomed after completion of the Ritual of the Mahjarrat quest. He has a max hit of around 1500 and should not be taken lightly.

Verac's weakness is Earth spells, therefore it is recommended to use spells such as Earth Surge or Shadow Barrage against him. He can also be taken down easily with other strong spells, or strong melee weapons such as chaotic or drygore weaponry.

Rise of the Six
Verac returns with his 5 brothers in Barrows - Rise of the Six, greatly enhanced by Sliske's experiments into the Shadow Realm. As when fought normally, he retains his set effect, and also has various other abilities. He can use an ability called Soul Bind where he will bind the players soul to a spot marked by a green target with arrows. While outside of the area, the player will suffer a rapid prayer drain unless they move to that spot.

Trivia

 * Verac, along with all the other barrows brothers, received a graphical update on 4 January 2012 to make him look more like a player wearing his items rather than the old graphics style which displayed an unclear, purely pink coloured apparition.
 * Verac the Defiled's armour is based on the armour of "the Myrmillo", one of the five types of gladiators in ancient Rome. It has many resemblances, the most obvious of which being his brassard, single plated arm and fish-finned helm, a design based loosely among Roman legionaries. However, in contrast, the armoured plating is on his wrong arm for a Myrmillo.
