Overview
The giant mole resides below Falador park. With a level of 230 and 200 hitpoints, she is not a target to be under-estimated. At random points during the battle, she may burrow away in an attempt to escape to another part of the lair. The Giant Mole is often hunted because its skins and claws can be traded with Wyson the Gardener for birds nests, which are used in the herblore skill. Also, the seeds in the nests are very useful for farming.

Preparing for Battle
A light source is a must at all times while in the lair.
What To Bring:
Spade - To enter the lair.
A Light source - You don’t want the bugs getting you.
Dragon halberd - Great for high hitting special attacks.
Dragon Dagger(p++) and Rune Defender - The poison damage really adds up.
Teleport Tabs - For quicker journeys to altars(can also use your home teleport).
Super Attack and Strength - Make each hit count.
Prayer Potions - You don’t want to run out.
Equipment
Melee Method
Using this method, you will be praying “Protect from Melee” or “Deflect Melee”the whole time. This makes it very easy to kill the Giant mole assuming you don’t run out of prayer. The godsword can be replace with Abyssal Whip with a rune defender or shield of you choosing.
Range Method
Using this method, you will be praying “Protect from Melee” or “Deflect Melee”the whole time. You will run out of prayer potions faster this way because you are not using prayer bonus armor. The mole tends to be weaker to ranged attacks then melee.

Getting to the Giant Mole
To get to the Giant Mole lair dig with a spade on any of the many mole mounds in the Falador park. Once in the lair, you must make your way to the Giant Mole at the centre of the lair. The green dots on the map show where the Mole may appear if it burrows in an attempt to flee your slaying.

Strategy
Note: Using a Spirit Terrorbird while your killing the Giant Mole is a great way to make sure your running energy dose not drop to zero. Also a combat summoning familiar can be helpful for fighting the Giant Mole, especially while fighting it solo. If you are attacking the Mole and it is attacking you, when the Mole digs away your summoning familiar will follow it for a few steps allowing you to determine the general direction to the Mole.
Melee Method
1. Drink your potions(super attack and super strength).
2. Once at the mole, immediately turn on the Protect from Melee prayer.
3. Unleash your Dragon Dagger P++ or Dragon Halberd special attacks.
4. Swap to your Godsword/whip.
5. If the Giant Mole digs away, search the lair for where it has gone and finish off the kill.
Note: Make sure you don’t run out of prayer.
Range Method
1. Drink your potion(ranging).
2. Once at the mole, immediately turn on the Protect from Melee prayer.
4. If the Giant mole digs away, search the lair until you find it and continue your attack.
Note: Make sure you don’t run out of prayer.
