The '''Keris''' is a [[dagger]] obtained after defeating the [[Giant scarab (Contact!)|Giant Scarab]] at the end of the [[Contact!]] quest. Players will need 50 [[Attack]] to wield this item. If lost, another can be bought from [[Osman]] for 20,000 [[coins]].

The keris was created by worshippers of [[Elidinis]], in order to smite the followers of [[Scabaras]]. Like the [[dragon dagger]] used to be held it is held in a reverse grip. It has a special bonus against [[scarab]] creatures ([[Scarab mage]] and [[Locust rider]]s) and kalphites (see [[Kalphite Lair]]); on rare occasions it may score a "vicious blow" against an opponent, tripling the damage the player would have done. When this happens the player will receive a message in the chat box that reads: "You slip your dagger through a chink in the creature's chitin, landing a vicious blow." The keris can also be tipped with various types of weapon [[poison]] (however, like all other non-spear poisonable weapons, [[Karambwan poison]] '''cannot''' be used on the Keris).

This dagger is one of the strongest weapons in ''RuneScape'' when used against the above listed creatures, hitting up to 1700+ life points (with 99 strength, a slayer assignment of Kalphites, a [[Black mask]] / [[Slayer helmet]], [[Amulet of Strength]], [[Vesta's chainbody]], [[Vesta's plateskirt]], [[Dragon boots]], [[Goliath gloves]], [[Berserker ring (i)]], [[Dragonfire shield]], Completionist cape, the Keris equipped, an overload, and the turmoil curse activated.) It is because of this that the keris is often considered one of the best daggers in [[RuneScape]], along with the [[dragon dagger]]. This special effect is somewhat rare though, so some players still prefer to use strong stabbing weapons like the [[Brackish Blade]] or [[Chaotic Rapier]] instead on Kalphite tasks for their higher accuracy and average damage.

'''Note:''' You will lose the dagger upon death, and must purchase a replacement from [[Osman]] for 20k.
