Survive Shifting Tombs, Alter Desert

RuneScape has just released an exciting Dev’s Diary for April, detailing the latest update, Return to the Desert: Pharaoh’s Folly. This new quest is live now and will be available until April 28th. Players will face the challenge of surviving the Shifting Tombs and altering the fate of the desert alongside Leela and Ozan.

Here’s the Full Scoop on the Pharaoh’s Folly in RuneScape

The situation in the Kharidian desert is escalating, with Menaphos descending into chaos. Osman's betrayal has led to internal turmoil, and the city is on the brink of collapse. As factions divide and the ominous presence of Amascut looms in the shadows, the dangers are just beginning with the Shifting Tombs.

But you won’t be tackling this alone. Leela is back in action, and you'll be joined by new allies, including some pets. Together, you'll delve into the ancient secrets of Menaphos and unravel the true intentions behind Osman’s actions.

Heading Back into the Heat Again

Completing Pharaoh’s Folly comes with rewarding benefits in RuneScape. Players can earn Thieving and Agility XP, the title "The Rabble-Rouser," and a new item, Leela’s Favour bracelet. This bracelet allows teleportation across all districts of Menaphos, the Sophanem slayer dungeon, the shifting tombs, and all active soul obelisks.

The Return to the Desert: Pharaoh’s Folly quest is designed for seasoned players. To participate, you'll need a Slayer level of 87, completion of the Beneath Scabaras’ Sands quest, and to have completed specific tasks from the Do No Evil quest within Phite Club. Additionally, you must have built the required structures from the Fort Forinthry storyline. Once these criteria are met, you can meet Leela outside the gates of Menaphos and work to save the city from its perilous fate. If you're ready, download RuneScape from the Google Play Store and embark on your Return to the Desert adventure!
