Giant Mole is a melee boss found in its underground lair. The Sarim Hub's Giant mole destination takes you directly into the public lair. Its base 200 Hitpoints and straightforward close-range attacks make this encounter easier to understand than bosses with several active attack styles.
Getting there
Choose Giant mole in the teleport Hub to reach the public encounter. The boss has a configured public spawn in the lair. An alternative entrance is the molehill in Falador park: dig with a spade to choose the public lair or view instance options. Climb the lair exit to leave.
The Hub route uses the normal teleport checks. Teleblock, a locked state or a blocking activity can prevent travel, and the default teleport cannot depart from above level 20 Wilderness.
The public encounter and an instance should be treated as separate entry choices. This guide's combat figures describe the ordinary boss's base configuration; they do not establish a live instance fee or a special mode's modifiers. Check the instance option shown to your character before committing to an alternate entry route.
Fighting the mole
The mole uses a close-range melee attack with the crush style. It attacks when within one tile and has a configured four-tick attack interval. Its base maximum damage is 21. Protect from Melee changes the handler's base damage maximum to zero, making that prayer the clearest defensive choice for its ordinary attack.
The source-reviewed Sarim version does not trigger the familiar burrowing chase. The damage handler contains a low-health burrow check, but the actual burrow invocation is disabled. Keep attacking the current boss rather than preparing to chase repeated underground teleports.
The base combat levels are 200 Attack, 200 Strength, 200 Defence and 200 Magic, with 1 Ranged. These are NPC skill levels, not accuracy or defence bonuses. Damage reduction, gear effects and special game modes can still alter what your character experiences, so the base stat summary should not be read as a guarantee of a particular damage-per-second result.
Rewards
The main loot path guarantees one set of big bones, one mole claw and one to three mole skins before relevant reward-routing effects. The remaining configured main-table outcomes include equipment, runes, supplies and an elite clue scroll. Baby mole is associated with a separate pet-unlock roll.
Guaranteed materials are processed separately from the optional main-table reward. Additional loot rolls or auto-loot effects do not mean every listed optional reward appears on each kill. Watch the ground and your inventory or storage destinations when collecting loot, particularly if a bone-processing or automatic pickup effect is active.
Main drop table
The table lists the ordinary boss's configured main loot and quantity per awarded outcome, before player effects. Guaranteed entries are separate from optional rewards. It excludes shared bonus cash, clue, rare-table and event rewards. Rates are omitted because candidate selection, priority and player modifiers affect the final chance.
