Can't Touch Me is a medium combat achievement which requires the player to kill Dharok, Verac, Torag, and Guthan without letting them attack the player with melee. Using Protect from Melee to block damage will not count.

If you have killed 0 of the brothers and get hit by the first brother you try to kill, leaving and re-entering the crypt will NOT reset the task, so you will need to open the chest and start over.

After killing the 4 brothers without being hit, the combat achievement will not unlock until after opening the chest.

Strategy

To complete this task, it is recommended to keep doing Barrows runs, starting with Ahrim and Karil, until one of these two is in the entrance to the tunnels. After that, the exact same strategy can be applied to all four remaining brothers. For these melee brothers, the general strategy is to search the coffin and then immediately run to the opposite side of their coffin. Due to the small delay before a brother attacks, it is even possible to run through the brother when running to the other side of the coffin. The special attack of a dragon spear can be used to stun the brothers should this prove difficult.

Turn off run energy, and cast the best freezing spell available, such as Ice spells or Entangle. Then immediately run back, in case the freeze splashes. If the freeze succeeds, cast a few damaging spells, and be sure to hide behind the coffin before it runs out. Repeat this strategy every time the freeze runs out. Then repeat the strategy for all four brothers, and open the final chest to complete the task. The combat achievement is awarded once the chest is opened after killing all four melee-based brothers without being hit.

Note that the brothers will prefer to walk east-west, meaning that it is generally easier to trap the brother on either the north or the south side of the coffin. It can also be useful to use the 'Ctrl+click' command to run when run is turned off.

If the player gets hit, the player cannot simply leave the crypt and try again, as the hit counter is only reset once the chest is looted.

Another strategy, without freezing, consists in using a trident of the swamp with a serpentine helm. Start the kill and run to the opposite side of the coffin. Get some distance, hit once, and run again to the opposite side of the coffin. Then let the venom kill each brother.
