The keris is a dagger obtained after defeating the giant scarab at the end of the Contact! quest, and is the precursor to the keris partisan. It deals 33% bonus damage against all kalphites and scabarites, and has a 1/51 chance of puncturing a hole in their exoskeleton, dealing triple damage. When the special effect occurs, the chatbox will display the game message: You slip your dagger through a gap in the creature's chitin, landing a vicious blow. This message is not displayed if the effect deals less than 10 damage, which can cause the activation frequency to appear lower than it is in reality.

The keris requires 50 Attack to wield. Like most daggers, it can be poisoned. Its stab attack is identical to that of a dragon dagger, although its strength bonus is 10 lower. It has the second-highest bonus of the three prayer bonus-providing daggers, giving +2 compared to the white dagger's +1 and Wolfbane's +5. Despite this, the keris proves superior; unless fighting werewolves, where Wolfbane wins. It is needed to kill a locust rider for a Hard Desert Diary task.

It is lost on death if it is not protected, and can be retrieved from Osman, (or Selim, after Beneath Cursed Sands), for a fee of 20,000. Alternatively, it can be reclaimed from Perdu for a fee of 25,000.

[[{{#explode:7 July 2021| |0}} {{#explode:7 July 2021| |1}}]] [[{{#explode:7 July 2021| |2}}]] (update)	The position of the weapon and its variants on female players has been adjusted so that they appear to be equipped properly.

Trivia

• Keris is one of five daggers with its blade pointing down; the other four are the dragon dagger, abyssal dagger, Killer's knife, and Hunting knife
• The keris is based on the south-east Asian country Indonesia from island of Java, weapon called a kris (and sometimes kêrìs).
