This article has a strategy guide here.

The Giant Mole (Talpidae wysonian) is found in the Falador Mole Lair, just under Falador Park. Upon release, on 7 March 2006, "a slight accident involving a bottle of Malignius-Mortifer's-Super-Ultra-Flora-Growth-Potion" is the origin of the creation of the Giant mole.

Players will need both a spade and light source to access the location. Players are advised to be careful while fighting this monster as it may put out your light source. A Seer's Headband or Bullseye Lantern is strongly recommended. However a lantern and a tinderbox can also be used. To get into the lair you have to dig in any one of the 'mole hills' near Sir Tiffy Cashien in the Falador Garden.

Currently, the giant mole is the 9th highest level non-quest monster in Runescape. Players often kill the mole for its Mole claws and Mole skin, each of which Wyson the gardener will exchange for Bird's nests, a valuable item that is often highly in demand by players training Herblore. Wear a ring of wealth so you may get Clue scroll.

One giant mole can be present per world. When killed, it will respawn in about 2 minutes (or 200 Game ticks). Players can use this respawn time to restore food and prayer from the previous fight.

Giant mole strategiesEdit

Main article: Giant Mole/Strategies

The giant mole is weak against Ranged and Stab attacks and it is also vulnerable to poison. Even though the mole is weak to stab and ranged attacks, most players use an Abyssal Whip or a dragon weapon as these provide sufficient damage. The mole, when poisoned, will surface to die and leave its drops so there is no risk of missing out on a drop. Sometimes when the mole digs it throws up balls of mud. The direction these go is the direction it will appear at when it surfaces.

DropsEdit

Note that the Giant Mole's drops are fairly similar to that of the King Black Dragon, although it does not drop the draconic visage, dragon bones, or black dragonhide. Also, the King Black Dragon drops 4 charms at a time as opposed to the Giant Mole's 2.

MechanicsEdit

When the giant mole makes an escape, its animation hides the appearance of the mole until its dig-from-ground animation is played. The mole dust cloud and escape animation are played. Four Game ticks pass then the mole's location changes and plays its dig-from-ground animation.
