The Giant Mole is a very easy, low-level boss that can be found in an underground tunnel in Falador. This boss is mostly killed for its mole skins and mole claws, especially by Ironmen. Killing this boss for its pet, which appears at a rate of 1 in 3,000, is also a smart idea because high-level players can kill it quickly.
To be very efficient when killing giant moles, here are the suggested skills to have:
Additionally, I will advise you to finish the Falador Hard Diaries in order to obtain the Falador Shield 3; otherwise, you will have to traverse the dungeon to find the giant mole every time you want to kill it. This is especially necessary when you are trying to make money or get the baby mole pet as it makes your kills so much faster.

You don't need to be concerned about any unique attacks from the giant mole. The mole can only inflict up to 21 damage with a melee attack, and it can burrow itself into another place. The mole only does this when its health is between 5 and 50%; if you attack it while its health is within that range, there is a 25% chance that it will burrow into a different area.
Make sure to bring along some prayer potions, stamina potions, and some combat-boosting potions. You can right-click on the hole where the mole is to see if there are any other adventurers there before going in. If so, you should switch to a different world to find one where there aren't any other players.
If you have the Falador shield with you when you enter the tunnel, an arrow will show you the precise location of the mole on the minimap as soon as you enter the tunnel.
Use the safe area with the cavern walls if your defense is low. You would need to use magic or ranged attack for this method.
If your combat level is high, you should use Dharok the Wretched's equipment. With this gear, you can quickly kill the mole. To optimally use this gear, lower your HP to 1 by using the locator orb or dwarven cake before you attack the mole. This will significantly improve your hits because Dharok's allows you to hit harder depending on how low your health is.
The Giant mole always drops:
One Mole claw
Average of 2 Mole skins
These drops will be noted if you have the Falador shield with you.
Some other valuable drops from the giant mole include:
You should expect to get 30 -75 kills per hour and 600k - 1.5m worth of gp
