Boss Overview
The Giant Mole (Talpidae wysonian[1]) is a boss found in the Mole Hole, just under Falador Park, alongside some 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" when Wyson the gardener poured it on his plants.[2]
The Giant Mole is accessed by digging with a spade on top of the park's mole hills. The tunnels are dark and the player will receive damage without a light source. An inextinguishable light source is recommended, such as a bullseye lantern, abyssal lantern, mining helmet, bruma torch, Kandarin headgear, or Firemaking cape. Any candles, torches, or oil lamps will be extinguished if she retreats within melee range. A tinderbox is needed to relight extinguished light sources. Furthermore, if a player has completed the quest Making Friends With My Arm and has lit the Fire of Eternal Light within the lair, they will no longer need to carry a light source in their inventory.
The Giant Mole is popular for its mole skin and mole claw drops, which can be traded to Wyson for unique bird nests, and it is one of the only source of consistent bird nests. Bird nests can be crushed, which is an ingredient for making saradomin brews.
Location
The Mole Hole is a dungeon consisting of a maze of mole tunnels located beneath Falador. To get here you must have a light source (lit candle, lantern, etc.) and dig in one of the mole hills in Falador Park with a spade. The level 230 Giant Mole boss can be found inside, as well as some baby moles. It is advised for lower levels to avoid this area. To get out of this labyrinth, go to the southern end and jump on the rocks. After that, climb the rope and you will arrive at a well south of White Knights' Castle.
Stand on the mole hill and use your spade. Before you go in, you have to use a tinderbox on a candle to make light, otherwise you'll be met with a pitch black screen. You can buy all these items from the general store at ::shops.
Fight Overview
The Giant Mole attacks with melee, which can deal up to 21 damage. She cannot path around obstacles, so she can be safespotted by players who are unwilling to take her attacks.
Upon reaching 50% of her health, every attack from the player has a 25% chance of causing her to burrow into the ground to another area in the lair, forcing players to chase her across the lair. This includes attacks that hit a 0, unless it is a magic attack that splashes.[3] This chance will remain until she reaches 5% of her health, after which she will no longer burrow away. When burrowing away, she will lose aggression. Having a Falador Shield 3 or better will allow the player to track the mole in the lair while she is alive, making it easier to locate her. The burrow also has a chance to extinguish open light sources, such as candles and torches, though closed sources like bullseye lanterns are safe from it.
The Giant Mole is immune to venom, but is susceptible to poison. Poison damage does not force her to burrow.
Recommended Gear and Inventory
Considering you can't stay consistently at a low HP level due to the lack of a rock cake in the game, ranged with a tbow is highly recommended. Leave 6-8 spaces in your inventory open, as the boss dies fast and drops a lot of items to pickup.
