Welcome to my quick and easy Giant Mole guide for Old School RuneScape! Before we dive in, I want to clarify that I'm not a pro player—this guide is made to help you efficiently take down the Giant Mole. If you find it useful, consider subscribing to support more content like this.

I'll focus on ranged setups, as I find them the most accurate, though there are other setups you could use, such as a one-HP DCK setup for higher hits. Let's get started!

Requirements

Quest Requirements

· No quest requirements are strictly necessary.

· Making Friends with My Arm Quest: Unlocks a permanent light source in the lair, so you won't need to carry a torch.

· Dwarf Cannon Quest: Allows the use of a cannon, which speeds up kills.

· Optional: Completing the Fremennik Diary or Elite Diary unlocks the Fadir Shield 3–4, which provides a permanent arrow pointing to the Giant Mole in the cave. This is extremely helpful for finding her quickly.

Stat Requirements

· Ranged:

  · 75 for using the Blowpipe setup

  · 80 if using the Bow of Faerdhinen (BofA) with Crystal armor

· Defense & Agility: 70 defense and 70 agility for BofA setup

· Prayer: At least 43 to use Protect from Melee

Gear & Inventory Setups

I'll focus on two setups:

Budget Setup

· Weapon: Toxic Blowpipe with darts (God-deide recommended)

· Armor: Best ranged gear available

· Inventory:

  · Prayer potions

  · Ranging potions

  · Stamina potions

  · Cannon with ammo

  · Spade (to access the lair)

  · Fadir Shield 3 (optional but highly recommended)

  · Teleport for banking

  · Light source if you haven't completed Making Friends with My Arm Quest

High-Level Setup

· Weapon: Bow of Faerdhinen (BofA)

· Armor: Crystal armor

· Inventory: Same as above, plus optional high-alchemy runes if you like

Getting to the Giant Mole

1. Teleport to Falador.

2. Head east to Falador Park.

3. Look for one of the mole holes and use your spade to enter.

If you completed the Fremennik Diary for the Fadir Shield 3–4, the Giant Mole will automatically be marked with an arrow on the mini-map and screen.

Fighting the Giant Mole

Budget Setup Example (Blowpipe)

1. Enter the lair and locate the Giant Mole using the arrow (if you have it).

2. Set up your cannon in the middle of the room.

3. Drink a ranging potion and enable auto-retaliate for convenience.

4. Attack the Giant Mole and follow her as she digs new holes.

5. Use stamina potions if your run energy is low.

6. Keep Protect from Melee on to reduce damage.

The Giant Mole drops Mole Claws and Mole Skins, which can provide decent OSRS gold profit.

High-Level Setup Example (BofA & Crystal Armor)

1. Enter the lair and set up the cannon in the optimal spot.

2. Use BofA with Crystal Armor for much faster kills.

3. Utilize Rigor if available to boost damage output.

4. Follow the mole when she digs new holes and maintain Protect from Melee.

5. This setup drastically speeds up kills, making it more efficient for longer farming sessions.

Tips & Tricks

· Early kills may feel tedious, but once you understand the mechanics, this boss is very AFK-friendly.

· The mole occasionally throws mud, but it's purely cosmetic and doesn't deal significant damage.

· Keep an eye on her digging mechanic, as she frequently changes positions.

· Using a cannon drastically improves kill speed, especially for ranged setups.

Conclusion

The Giant Mole is an accessible boss for both budget and high-level players. With the right setup—whether a Blowpipe or BofA—you can farm her efficiently while staying relatively AFK. Completing relevant quests and diaries enhances your convenience and success rate, especially with the permanent light source and arrow indicator.

I hope this guide helps you take down the Giant Mole with ease.
