Giant mole

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.

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.

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.
