Pharaoh's Folly Quest launch - This Week In RuneScape

Posted by on 07 Apr 2025

Menaphos is in peril! Team up with Leela & Ozan and challenge Osman in Pharaohs Folly, the latest Return to the Desert quest.

Return to the Desert: Pharaoh's Folly
The fate of the desert hangs in the balance.

The Golden City of Menaphos is crumbling from within. In the wake of Beneath Scabaras Sands, you've uncovered Osmans staged attack, a calculated move to tighten his grip on power.

With the city divided and Amascuts influence looming, its time to expose Osmans treacheryalongside Leela, you must confront him and decide Menaphos fate.

Meet up with Leela just outside the gates of Menaphos to dive into the penultimate quest in the Desert series, setting the stage for the finale later this year as we prepare to face off against Amascut, Goddess of Destruction.
