Ol' Mole Rufus
Wiser than words can say and still quick on his feet. He just gets a lil' tired sometimes.
How to get the Ol' Mole Rufus Mount
If you spent some time in the Ringing Deeps, you may have seen the “As the earthen Machinery turns, something begins to stir in the nearby lake.” announcement, and wondered what that meant. This is actually the announcement that the rare Lurker of the Deeps is about to spawn and you have about a minute or so to make it to his lake.
The Lurker of the Deeps Rare Mob has a small chance to drop the Regurgitated Mole Reins, which is a unique star-nosed mole mount.
The Lurker of the Deeps can be killed once per day per character for a chance at the mount. However, he doesn’t just spawn on his own or on a simple respawn timer. Below we break down how to summon the Lurker of the Deeps. To do so, you will need to be in a group of at least 5 players.
Spawn Lurker of the Deeps
In order to summon the Lurker of the Deeps, you will need to pull 5 levers located around the Ringing Deeps. All 5 levers have to be pulled within 10 seconds of the first one being pulled, this means you can’t spawn the boss on your own, you need 4 others to collaborate with.
We have included a map of where they spawn. They do not all spawn at the same time, so be aware that just because one is up, the other 4 may not be.

/way Ringing Deeps 62.89 44.54
/way Ringing Deeps 59.15 92.55
If one or more levers are pulled early, they do not despawn. They just get a 30 second cooldown, which means if you make a mistake you can just go again.
Once all 5 levers have been pulled within 10 seconds, you will get the zone wide announcement mentioned above, and after a short while the Lurker of the Deeps will spawn in the Living Grotto, in the south of the Ringing Deeps.
Defeat Lurker of the Deeps
After successfully pulling all 5 levers, travel to the Living Grotto, in the south of the Ringing Deeps and prepare to fight the Lurker of the Deeps Rare Mob.

Defeating the Lurker of the Deeps is fairly simple, but should be done as a group of at least 5, which you should have from doing the levers anyway.
He has 3 abilities:
- Water Bolt: Single target damage on the main target.
- Tidal Outrage: Deals frost damage to all players.
- Frothing Spray: Deals damage in a frontal cone and spins around knocking back players that are hit.
After defeating Lurker of the Deeps, he will have the chance of dropping the Ol’ Mole Rufus mount. We hope you get lucky and it doesn’t take many attempts to add this mount to your collection!
