Upgrade paths for this fight
Strategy
- 1
Track the burrow
When the mole burrows it reappears nearby. A light source and quick reaction let you re-engage without wasting time.
- 2
Keep DPS up
The mole hits low (crush, up to 21); you can often power through kills without prayer, eating only occasionally.
Key mechanics
What can kill you at Giant Mole, and what to do about it. For the full breakdown, see the OSRS Wiki link below.
Burrowing
From 50% to 5% HP each of your hits has a chance to make her burrow and relocate — chase her down with a light source and re-engage.
Extinguished light
When she burrows she can throw dirt that puts out open light sources (candles/torches) — bring a bullseye lantern or Bruma torch so you're not left in the dark.

These figures are an independent-roll estimate: they treat every kill as a separate roll at the listed rate ( 1 − (1 − p)KC). Real drops can involve guaranteed rolls, point/invocation scaling or completion rewards, so the true odds may differ. A probability is never a guarantee — even far above 90%, the drop is never owed to you. Drops without a fixed 1/Nrate show “—”.
