Giant mole



The Giant mole (Talpidae Wysonian) is found in the Falador Mole Lair, just under Falador Park. The player will need a light source to get there. 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.

Using a Rune c'bow with Diamond bolts(e) Emerald bolts(e) and Addy bolts you'll find killing giant mole fast. Use Diamonds bolts until spec. or until the mole is close to half hp, and then use Emerald bolts to poison it. After it's poisoned, use your adamant bolts. Note: sometimes your Diamond bolts wont have their special effect occur, so it is recommended that the player weaken the mole to about about 20% hp. Don't waste your Diamond bolts and go straight to adamant bolts.

The Giant Mole hits hard (to be specific, 21 damage at the hardest), 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 'round, 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 has Tireless run scroll unlimited running basically. 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 by the poison. Just make sure it has low health, this will make the process go much faster. This saves you from running alot and loosing the drop if it dies right after it has dug another hole.
