Why Are You Running? is a hard combat achievement which requires the player to kill the Giant Mole without her burrowing more than two times.
Strategy
After reaching half health (100 HP), each attack the Giant Mole takes may prompt her to dig away to another location in her lair. Circumvent this by using Dharok the Wretched's equipment while staying at low health.
Additionally, by using a superpoisoned weapon, the poison will deal enough damage to kill the mole without her burrowing, provided the final attack reduces her health below 100. Regular weapon poison is a poor choice for this technique, as it only does 50 damage in total before expiring, and considering that even successful melee hits only have a 25% chance of poisoning, it will be unlikely that the player can poison the mole again before she burrows several times.
For Ironmen, who typically do not have access to weapon poison(++) due to the high Herblore level requirement, a great alternative is completing the Tai Bwo Wannai Trio quest and speaking to Tamayu, who will reward the player with a rune spear(kp). This karambwan-poison-coated weapon has the same poison strength as weapon poison(++).
