Keris

The Keris is a dagger obtained after defeating the Giant Scarab at the end of the Contact! quest.

If a player loses one, another can be bought from Osman for 20,000 coins.



It was created by worshippers of Elidinis in order to smite the followers of Scabaras. It has a special bonus against scarab creatures (Scarab mage and Locust riders) and kalphites (see Kalphite Lair); on rare occasions it may score a "critical hit" against an opponent, tripling the damage the player would have done. Message is "You slip your dagger through a chink in the creature's chitin, landing a vicious blow." Keris can also be tipped with poison.

In addition to potential "critical hits", Keris provides a constant bonus modifier to attack and strength when used against Kalphites, Scarabs and Locusts, similar to Black mask on Slayer tasks or Salve amulet against Undead. Although testing has not shown a definitive modifier, the passive bonus for Keris is possibly 30% to attack and strength, giving it similar power to Abyssal Whip when used against those creatures. The dagger hits up to 168 on Kalphites.
