Giant Mole Hunting
Written By Zacharyb
Original Guide By J D Morgan Special Thanks To Hawk, Neo Avatars, Roy, Cell, -The Who-, Pen Knee, Sofee, Light, Damaged500, kandymann3, Helk, Stevo, Jackso69, Me Me 79, Heb0, Nighteagle, Blackness, Kemosabe, Esarathon Whether you're in it for the hunt, or the rewards, the Giant Mole can be an interesting monster. This giant level 230 mole can put up a fight, so you better be prepared. Start out by talking to Wyson the Gardner in Falador Park. He will tell you about a big mole that's been digging up his garden.
Although you can mage or range the mole, it is highly recommended you melee him. Because of this, the guide will not go over range or mage techniques. This is the recommended gear for killing the mole.
Now for the hard part. Killing the mole can be a fun, but annoying hunt. First thing you should do is dig in to the tunnels with your spade. Dig on top of one of the mole hills in Falador park. ![]() ![]() Now time for you to take on the mole. Find the mole in the caves, and turn on protect from melee prayer (it's not needed to kill the mole, but you will use more food if you don't pray). And use your super attack and strength potions if you brought them. You should keep prayer on for the first part of the fight, using prayer potions when you need to. When you hit it, use your dragon dagger's special until you use out the entire bar. Hopefully, the mole will become poisoned (this won't happen with a regular dagger). After this, switch to your other weapon for the rest of the fight. Around halfway through, it will burrow in to the ground, splattering you with mud and possibly extinguishing your light source (bringing a covered light source like a lantern will prevent this from happening).
Now the mole is hiding somewhere in the caves. You will have to find the mole, and try to get as much damage on it before it burrows again. After you hit it, you will probably only get two or three hits on it, so try to make them count. If you have anything in it, you can try to hit your special on it before it burrows. The mole may burrow a couple squares away, or across the tunnels. You do not need to pray, as the mole won't get a lot of hits on you, but you may if you need to. You will do a lot of running. If you need to, drink a super energy potion, or stop running. If you managed to poison it, the poison will damage it, so you may also want to look for a red dot on your minimap. Another way you could kill the mole is bringing a friend (or a couple friends), and using a team. You would bring standard equipment. It is recommended that you use a Clan Chat on a Lootshare world. This way you can split the drops, and you can communicate through the chat. You will usually kill the mole faster and use less supplies. The person with the highest Prayer Points and Hitpoints should attack the mole first, and turn on protect from melee. The mole will attack him, so the rest of the team does not need prayer potions. They should mainly have energy, attack, and strength potions. You could have one prayer potion in your inventory, just for those little times you get it alone. ![]() Here is an example of what the mole drops:
The mole has a 100% drop of either some mole claws or skins. You can trade these to Wyson for some nests, which will contain either rings or some seeds. You can farm or sell the seeds, and crush the nests with a Pestle and Mortar. You can sell them or make them in to Saradomin's Brew (you need 81 Herblore to make them).
That's about it. Now that you are prepared, head down to the mole caves and give that lazy mole a taste of your dagger. You may get a dragon medium helmet and many more goodies in your efforts. |
