I was looking through and didn’t find any guides on barbarian assault and thought I could post one =D
Introduction
Barbarian assault is sort of a complex members only, mini-game. Released in 2007 this mini-game has become very popular for the fighters torso (buyable after gaining points in the mini-game). Barbarian Assault is located northeast of Tree Gnome Stronghold and you can also teleport there using a games necklace. Note: You may want to play on world 6 (mainly) or world 71, which are worlds dedicated to Barbarian Assault.
There are no requirements for barbarian assault although hit-points and a good defense is always good, since once a teammate dies, you are kicked out of the game and play that wave again.
Basics In Barbarian Assault there are five roles, each team member must take a role in the game and each role helps another role. The game consists of 10 waves, each one getting harder to overcome. You will have to keep in touch with you other teammates by using a horn for what food, attack style, color egg, to use. You will receive the horn at the start of every game, (which will have a counter, which will tell what wave your on, an EAR which will tell you what you have been told to DO, a mouth which you will need to TELL through your horn, and a horn, tell you what role you are playing) along with a pack of all the things you will need to play, when in the game, to your right will be handles and pole-like things, anyways, pull the stuff for your role and you’ll be good to go. For instance, attackers receive arrows, runes, etc. Defenders get Tofu, Worms, and Crackers to lure the Pennance runners, Collectors get an egg sack (lol...) to hold the eggs you pick up, and healers get a healing utensil, poison worms, poison tofu etc.
Player Roles Attacker-Red Difficulty on Reg waves: *****
Difficulty on Queen waves: *****
Is supposed to kill penance rangers, and kill penance fighters, if lvl 90+ these should be fairly easy to kill, With the responsibility of the attacker comes the responsibility to tell the collector what to collect, you will see in the right hand side of your screen what color egg (whether red, green or blue) to call out with your horn to the other player. As you do this, the collector has to tell you what style of attacking you have to use, (whether Def, Aggressive, Controlled, Wind, Water, Steel, Bronze etc.) The attack styles will come often so keep changing them, and you lose points every time you attack using the wrong style. This is probably one of the easiest jobs
Collector-yellow
Difficulty on Reg waves: **
Difficulty on Queen waves: **
Is supposed to gather eggs dropped by the all the creatures and load them into the egg cannons, I suggest trying to do this job first, to get a feel for what barbarian assault is all about and maybe watch other players do things while your supposed to be collecting. The reason why collecting is so easy is because you really don’t have to do anything besides call when needed for the attacker, You can just collect around 20 eggs, load some into the cannon, and Bam your done... Although you may get more points if you do more than needed.
Defender-Blue
Difficulty on Reg waves: *****
Difficulty on Queen waves: ***
The defender is probably the hardest job, you have to Lure the Penance runners (one eyed creatures with legs) into traps, which are located on each side of the arena, although I highly suggest using the right side, since the penance runners re-spawn there. You should start of getting your equipment from the pulley, once you get it destroy just about 5 of the foods, and go get the hammer which is located north, by the respawns, most-likely will be only red dot if you hurry, also grab 4 logs, this should last you through the game. Now this is the tricky part, you will have to communicate to what poison food they are supposed to use on the healers, and you will get what food you should drop (used to lure) from them. You drop the food, sort-of making a little path for the runner to follow, and the ending drop should be on the trap. Don’t be stupid and drop one every step, drop one every 5-6 steps and they’ll come. Now once you lure 1 into your trap the trap will be broken it should say, trap (1). But it is not fully broken so don’t repair just yet. Wait for another penance runner to go through causing the trap to be trap (0) meaning it is actually broken, then right click on the trap and choose repair, using your hammer and 1 log that you picked up in the begging of the game. Penance runners can also go out an exit cave, causing you to lose points, but I wouldn’t worry about that, just try to get all the penance runners as possible.
Healer-Green
Difficulty on Reg waves: ****
Difficulty on Queen waves: *****
The healers job is to tell what the defender is to drop (to lure penance runners). The healer will also have to heal players that need to be healed; you will have a bar on the bottom of the screen of every teammate of yours and their health at that moment. You will get to heal the teammate with a vial type water holder that you get by pulling the lever on the healer item machine (green), located to the right, when you start. Then you will use the vial on the water which is to the left of when you start and will have four doses of the healing, at lvl 1 you can heal 10 hit points of each person, at every lvl gained you will heal 5 more hit points for instance 2-15, 3-20, and so on, up to 5. The healer must also kill the penance healers, which are 1-eyed creatures that slither around; you will have to use the poisoned food (that the defender tells you) to kill the healers by poisoning them. While poisoning them I suggest not to keep poisoning all the way, if you go 3/4ths the way they will die off, therefore leaving you more time to kill more, and more food to kill more, instead of going back to the lever and getting more, therefore wasting time

Recruiting
The numbered rooms are more efficient point earners if your looking to get that fighters torso ;D. But if you'd like to begin playing immediately, enter in the large marked room with an arrow. I recommend it for beginners or just to get the hang of your role until you go for the big time. If your ready for the big time its time to start hitting the numbered rooms, to start the game one person must take a recruiting scroll from the table, use it on other players (which will be able to choose their roles) and the one holding the recruitment scroll will be able to accept/decline the offer. Once you have 4 people will all the roles you may now pick an extra role that the 5th person can play... It is usually good to have 2 attackers or when you get deep into play you will want to have 2 healers.
Queen
Once you get through 0 waves, you can attempt the penance queen (so exciting! =D) in wave 10. She cannot be attacked by normal attacks and must be shot with an OMEGA egg in which I will explain in just a bit.
The wave will start out normal, but there is only one egg launcher, poison springs, lava craters, a wooden floor in the middle of the battlefield (in which queen will appear from) and spiked mushrooms around the edges of the room. Also the levels in wave 10 have been reduced since wave 9. Before you can damage the queen you have to finish all the jobs. (Killing penance runners, healers, fighters, rangers) But there are no penalties for wrong poison packs, wrong attack styles and eggs taken, no matter what whatever skill you are taking on you will get 80 pts.
When the penance queen appears she is lvl 209, she has magic attacks, which are little blue circles and can potentially hit 20s. She sends out little lvl 63 queen spawns in which everyone can attack... once she comes I do suggest everyone gathers around the pool so its easier for the healers to heal, unless all the jobs aren’t done.
In order to make an omega egg everyone has to contribute.
Collector = The collector needs to collect the yellow eggs that the queen drops, (must collect 8-12 in order to kill the queen) once he/she has 8-12 yellow eggs then passes them on to the healer.
Healer= Once the healer gets the yellow egg from the collector it then dips the eggs into the poison pools around the outside of the arena, then passes along the egg to the attacker.
Attacker= When the attacker gets the poisoned yellow egg, it then needs to collect spikes from the spiky mushrooms and use the spikes on the egg. Then pass it on to the defender
Defender= Next, the defender gets the poisoned spiky egg and dunks it into the lava pools making an omega egg, and hands them back to the collector. (So it’s a cycle)
Collector= Lastly, the collector gathers all the omega eggs and loads them into the egg launcher (can only load 5 at a time) then after that, anybody can fire the eggs, selecting the left selection showing the penance queen and saying omega egg... Once 5 eggs are fired the collector will fill it back up with omega eggs and that should be it.
Helpful tip for queen, just remember CHAD: Collector, Healer, Attacker, Defender, and then back to the collector.

Tips
You are allowed to use normal potions, however positions that were mixed using Barbarian training cant be brought in the arena
Barricaded entrances will only slow, not stop the penance from entering the battlefield
A fighters torso is one of the best items you can buy (good str bonus) and should probably be bought first.
Runner hats and boots are useful for tank pures, the hat is almost like a rune full and boots are similar to black boots, but both have no negative boost to ranged and magic, making it useful for pures.
Lastly and KEY Teamwork, without teamwork you will NOT be able to get through this game, it is all about telling your teammates what to do what to get what to drop etc. Without teamwork you will lose.
If this helped you, I would greatly appreciate a + rep. Thank you, and feel free to pm me with any more questions regarding barbarian assault.
