'''Guthan the Infested''' is the third oldest of the six [[Barrows brothers]]. Guthan's crypt is located at the south-east of the [[Barrows]] area. He uses [[melee]] equipment, which makes him vulnerable to [[Magic]] attacks. Guthan's set effect is '''Infestation''', which gives him a 25% chance per [[successful hit]] to heal him for whatever damage is dealt for that hit.

Guthan is often regarded as one of the easier brothers since he is inaccurate compared to most of the other brothers. Although he attacks by stabbing with his warspear, Guthan's attacks are classified as [[crush]], so armour defensive against crush is advised. Despite his inaccuracy, he can still hit up to 24 so the use of [[Protect from Melee]] is advised for players with low [[Defence]]. Players who get hit often may also cause his set effect to activate more and thus he will heal more, making the fight longer. Using Protect from Melee also prevents his set effect from activating.

Guthan is commonly defeated with the use of a [[trident of the swamp]]/[[Trident of the seas|seas]], [[Iban Blast]] or [[Magic Dart]]. Players can also use [[Entangle]] or [[Ice spells]] on Guthan to attack him from a distance.
