Giant Mole/Strategies

The Giant Mole is a fairly simple mid-level boss that can be found under Falador. It is killed for its mole claw, mole skin and Baby mole drops.

How to get there
The Giant Mole is located under Falador. The entrance point is located at Falador Park, where there are mole holes scattered on the west side. Players must bring a spade to dig underground, and a light source of some type or they will be constantly bitten by bugs.

Attacks and Abilities

 * Melee attack: The mole swipes a claw at its target, dealing up to 21 damage.
 * Burrow: When the mole reaches half health or under, there is a chance for the next attack to cause her to burrow away into another location. There is also a chance that the dirt she digs while burrowing to escape can extinguish the player's light source, though covered light sources will be unaffected by this.

Guide
Killing the mole is extremely easy, as she doesn't have any unique abilities of her own.

For low leveled players, they safespot her with the cavern walls, as she does not move around the safespot to attack players. Ranging is highly recommended when safespotting, as she has low ranged defence. Players meleeing her should activate Protect from Melee and use stabbing weapons, as she has lower stab defence compared to slash and crush.

For high leveled players, she can be killed extremely fast with Dharok the Wretched's equipment, as it is easily possible to kill her within 2-3 hits depending on the player's strength boosting equipment. Simply lower your health to 1 with the Dwarven rock cake, activate Protect from Melee and flick Piety.

When the mole reaches half health and lower, there is a chance that she will dig away to another location in her lair. Without the shield, it is an extremely tedious task, as players potentially have to navigate through the whole lair to find her. The mole also loses aggression towards her target when she burrows away.

While the mole is not immune to poison, it's recommended to avoid poisoning her without the shield, as there is a chance she may die far away if she has critically low health.

Completion of the Hard Falador Diaries is highly recommended, as players with the shield can locate the mole whenever she digs away. It also notes her 100% drop of mole skin and claws, prolonging trips.
