The '''Giant Mole''' (''Talpidae wysonian'') is a [[boss]] found in the [[Falador Mole Lair]], just under [[Falador Park]], alongside some [[Baby Mole (NPC)|baby moles]]. The Giant Mole's origin and creation are described as "a slight accident involving a bottle of ''Malignius-Mortifer's-Super-Ultra-Flora-Growth-Potion''".


The Giant Mole is located in the [[Falador Mole Lair|tunnels]] beneath [[Falador Park]]. A [[spade]] is required to enter her lair. A [[light source]] is also needed to be able to see in the dark tunnels. A [[bullseye lantern]] or [[Kandarin headgear]] is highly recommended; any [[candle]]s, [[torch]]es, or [[oil lamp]]s will be extinguished if she retreats within [[melee]] range. If you are using an unprotected light source such as a [[candle]], you will need a [[tinderbox]] to reignite it. If you have achieved 99 [[Firemaking]], you can also bring the [[Firemaking cape|Firemaking Skillcape]] either equipped or in your inventory, as it will act as a light source that cannot extinguish. Alternatively, if a player has completed the quest [[Making Friends With My Arm]] and has lit the [[fire pit]] within the lair, they will no longer need to carry a light source in their inventory.
You will teleport to the Falador Garden, where you dig in one of the holes to enter Giant Mole's cavern


When using the [[Serpentine helm]] or other [[venomous]] weapons, the mole will have a chance to be inflicted with regular [[poison]]. The Giant Mole cannot be inflicted with venom.
==Attacks and abilities==
[[File:Fighting the Giant Mole.png|thumb|left|280px|A player fights the Giant Mole, the result of an accident involving [[Wyson]] and an ultra-growth potion.]]
* Melee attack: The mole swipes a claw at its target, dealing up to 21 damage.
The most common method of killing the Giant Mole is with [[Dharok the Wretched's equipment]] and 1 health (often achieved by guzzling a [[Dwarven rock cake]] or by using a [[Locator orb]]), as well as having the [[Protect from Melee]] prayer active to avoid taking any damage. This results in higher hits that decrease the time it takes to kill it significantly.
* Burrow: When the mole's health is between 5-50%, there is a 25% chance for any incoming attack to cause it 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 (shown with dirt splatters on the player's screen), though covered light sources will be unaffected by this.

==Guide==
Killing the mole is easy, as it doesn't have any unique abilities that can endanger the player.


The alternative to this low health method, for those uncomfortable with [[combat]] at low health (e.g. [[Hardcore Ironman]]), is using your best [[Strength#Strength bonus|Strength bonus]] [[melee gear]], or [[best-in-slot]] [[ranged gear]] with a [[Twisted bow]], the latter of which is the fastest method of killing it.
* For '''low levelled players''', they can safespot it with the cavern walls, as it does not move around the safespot to attack players. Ranging is highly recommended when safespotting, as it has low ranged defence. Players meleeing it should activate Protect from Melee and use stabbing weapons, as it has lower stab defence compared to slash and crush.


Having the [[Falador Diary#Hard|Falador Hard Diary]] completed is recommended, as it will provide you with the [[Falador shield 3]]. This shield will also work as a locator to the mole's whereabouts by a flashing red arrow on the minimap as long as it is alive. The Falador Hard Diary reward will also make the [[mole claws]] and [[mole skin]]s to be dropped in [[noted]] form.
* For '''high levelled players''', the mole can be killed quickly 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 Locator orb or Dwarven rock cake, activate Protect from Melee and flick Piety.

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

A player fights the Giant Mole with the Dharok's method

How to get there

  1. Use the Portal Nexus, north of Home
  2. Select PvM category
  3. Choose Giant Mole (2nd page)
  • (or search for "Giant Mole")

You will teleport to the Falador Garden, where you dig in one of the holes to enter Giant Mole's cavern

Attacks and abilities

  • Melee attack: The mole swipes a claw at its target, dealing up to 21 damage.
  • Burrow: When the mole's health is between 5-50%, there is a 25% chance for any incoming attack to cause it 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 (shown with dirt splatters on the player's screen), though covered light sources will be unaffected by this.
A map of the Falador Mole Lair, labelling spawn location and burrow locations of the Giant Mole.

Guide

Killing the mole is easy, as it doesn't have any unique abilities that can endanger the player.

  • For low levelled players, they can safespot it with the cavern walls, as it does not move around the safespot to attack players. Ranging is highly recommended when safespotting, as it has low ranged defence. Players meleeing it should activate Protect from Melee and use stabbing weapons, as it has lower stab defence compared to slash and crush.
  • For high levelled players, the mole can be killed quickly 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 Locator orb or Dwarven rock cake, activate Protect from Melee and flick Piety.

Note: When the mole reaches half health and lower, there is a chance that it will dig away to another location in the lair. The mole also loses aggression towards the primary target when burrowing away.

Suggested Skills

  • Attack 70+
  • Strength 70+
  • Defence 40+ (70+ Recommended)
  • Ranged 75+
  • Prayer 43+ (95 is good for Turmoil.png Turmoil)
