Giant mole



The Giant mole (Talpidae Wysonian) is found in the Falador Mole Lair, just under Falador Park. The player will need a spade to get there and a light source to see. Players are advised to be careful while fighting this monster, as it may put the player's light out, so a tinderbox is vital.

Currently, the Giant mole is the highest leveled non-aggressive non-quest monster.

Giant Mole Strategy
The weakness of the Giant Mole is Ranged and Stab attacks. So a Dragon dagger (p++) and a ranger can be good additions to a team. A Zamorakian spear is also extremely useful for its stab bonus. It can also be poisoned by a Adamant dagger (p++) or Rune dagger (p++) which has to be player made. The Giant Mole is immune to Water Spells.

The Giant Mole hits hard (21 damage at most), but fortunately only hits with Melee.

At half health, the Giant Mole starts digging around the cavern to escape. This is where teams come in handy; station each member at different junctions in the dungeon, and when the Mole comes around, they can hit them as much as possible before he leaves. You can use a Summoning familiar to aid in finding the Giant Mole. For example, if your Mithril minotaur attacks the mole, when it digs, it will move to where the Giant Mole dug to. Spirit terrorbird is the best choice since it you can use the Tireless run scroll. Beware: the Giant Mole's digging can put out your light source, so bring a tinderbox, unless it is a covered light source e.g. Bullseye lantern; although a glass lantern would be fine.

If you are soloing the Giant Mole, you should make sure that you poison the Giant Mole, then after it escapes you should track it down and wait for it to die due to the poison. This saves you from running a lot and losing the drop if it dies right after it has dug another hole.
