RuneScape’s longest-running storyline—yes, the one that started back when flip phones were a thing—is finally getting its grand finale. Eclipse of the Heart, the final chapter in the legendary Desert questline, is available in-game now, exclusively for RuneScape members. Time to dust off your Magic Carpet Dust.
From Prince to Apocalypse
The Desert saga kicked off 24 years ago with Prince Ali Rescue—and now it’s spiralling toward full-blown cosmic doom. As a menacing eclipse darkens the skies over Menaphos, players must step up, rally allies, and face the Goddess of Destruction herself: Amascut.
Think you’ve seen mad gods before? Amascut’s got the poise of a queen and the claws of a very annoyed house cat. She’s not just the final boss of the saga—she’s here to devour souls.
Dev Diaries and Drama
This quest doesn’t just bring the feels. It’s packed with juicy lore, gorgeous new cutscenes, and visual upgrades for some of your favourite desert-dwelling NPCs. And, of course, tasty loot.
