Monday, July 28th, 2025, Cambridge, UK. It began with a Prince. It ends with an Eclipse. Return to the Desert today to discover the epic finale to RuneScape’s longest-running questline in Eclipse of the Heart, a brand new quest available now to RuneScape members.
Decades in the making, Eclipse of the Heart is the long-awaited final chapter to the 24 year-old Desert saga that began with a simple rescue mission – and ends with the Goddess of Destruction.

Having unearthed ancient gods and uncovered forgotten betrayals, your journey through the desert has shaped the fate of Gielinor. Now, as the eclipse looms over Menaphos, it’s time to face the darkness that’s been waiting all along. Rally allies, unravel mysteries, and stop the looming eclipse before Amascut, Queen of Destruction, devours the souls within.
Earn new rewards, feast your eyes on brand-new cutscenes, and discover visual updates for some familiar faces. Complete the Eclipse of the Heart Quest to unlock new rewards, including a brand new title, four Stone-Touched XP Lamps each worth 250,000 XP, Desert-themed cosmetics for your Lorehound companion, the Amascut’s Eye skybox override, and upgraded Magic Carpet Dust. Additional boons also await, granting players toggleable buffs and boosts.
Completing Eclipse of the Heart will also unlock the opportunity to confront Amascut, the Devourer, in a colossal showdown when she arrives as a new in-game boss encounter on August 4th. Regal, elegant, and unmistakably feline, Amascut is as deadly as she is divine. But don’t let her poise fool you - she’s terrifying when enraged.
To access Eclipse of the Heart, players must be RuneScape members, have reached level 90 Necromancy and level 65 Agility, and completed the Pharaoh’s Folly quest. They must have also met the various requirements to complete the Do no Evil quest and built the fort buildings required for the Fort Forinthry Storyline.
RuneScape is available now on PC, Steam, iOS, and Android, complete with cross-platform progression and play on PC and mobile.
