Unlocking Anubis in Palworld

Anubis stands out as one of Palworld’s most coveted Ground-type Pals, renowned for its combat prowess and utility in base operations. This alpha boss, listed as Paldeck #100, offers players a versatile partner with the Guardian of the Desert skill, boosting attack power and infusing Ground damage into the player’s arsenal during fights.

Navigating to Anubis’s Exclusive Habitat

Anubis does not appear as a regular wild spawn anywhere on the Palworld map, regardless of time of day. Instead, it manifests solely as a formidable level 47 alpha Pal in the scorching Twilight Dunes, a compact desert region positioned northeast of the Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant fast-travel point. Precise coordinates place it at approximately -130, -96, where it patrols openly near a towering Anubis statue amid sandy cliffs.

To reach this spot efficiently, fast-travel to Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant, then head northeast into the dunes. Alternatively, Investigator’s Fork provides another access route, though the direct path from the tyrant waypoint minimizes exposure to threats. The area teems with high-level adversaries, including explosive Tocotoco that detonate on proximity, dealing massive area damage. Heat resistance is crucial—equip Heat Resistance Level 1 gear or mount Pals like Kitsun or Ragnahawk for full protection.

• Waypoint Options: Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant (primary), Investigator’s Fork (secondary).
• Environmental Hazards: Extreme heat, level 40+ Pals, self-destructing Tocotoco.
• Preparation Gear: Heat-resistant armor, flying/gliding mounts for safe traversal.

Strategic Battle Prep Against the Desert Guardian

Facing a level 47 Anubis demands mid-to-late game readiness, as its swift, high-damage Ground attacks can overwhelm underleveled players. As a Ground-type, Anubis exploits Electric weaknesses but crumbles against Grass-type assaults, making them your primary offensive edge.

Recommended Grass Pals include Mammorest for mounted ranged strikes, Vaelet for sustained damage, Verdash for agility, Elizabee for power, Mossanda for versatility, and Robinquill for precision. Arm yourself with top-tier weapons like the Legendary Assault Rifle or a high-damage sword, prioritizing ranged options to evade Anubis’s melee combos and projectiles.

Equip the Ring of Mercy (unlocked at Technology Level 19, crafted with 30 Ingots, 20 Paldium Fragments, 5 Ancient Civilization Parts) to prevent accidental knockouts, enhancing capture rates. Dodge patterns include sidestepping ground pounds, Forceful Charges (high-speed dash punch at level 30, 120 power, 28s charge), and Ground Smashes (leaping AoE impact at level 40, 140 power, 35s charge).

Mastering the Capture Process

Capturing Anubis requires weakening it to critical health without fainting. Legendary Spheres, unlocked at Technology Level 44, boast the highest success rate for this beefy alpha. Stockpile Hyper or Ultra Spheres as backups, though expect multiple attempts—craft extras via assembly lines.

Tactics: Let your lead Grass Pal absorb hits while you pepper from afar. Throw spheres only after major attacks deplete its health bar significantly. If it resists, re-engage briefly to soften further. Drops upon defeat include Bones, Large Pal Souls, and Innovative Technical Manuals, valuable for crafting.

• Top Sphere Tier: Legendary (primary), Hyper/Ultra (backup).
• Capture Window: Critical health (<10% HP), post-dodge cooldowns.
• Success Boosters: Ring of Mercy, multiple spheres (10+ recommended).

Alternative Acquisition: Breeding Anubis Early

For players below level 47 or seeking multiples, breeding bypasses the desert grind. Anubis hatches from Huge Rocky Eggs, generatable via specific pairs without needing the alpha. Early combos like Penking + Bushi yield these eggs reliably, accessible pre-level 20.

Other viable pairs produce Huge Rocky Eggs anywhere on the map (not region-locked):

• Penking + Bushi (early-game friendly).
• Additional combos from mid-level Pals like those around levels 15-20 in mixed biomes.

Purchase eggs from merchants or the Black Marketeer outside Deep Bamboo Forest for convenience. Incubate in a Breeding Farm; Anubis emerges ready for combat or work.

Anubis’s Moveset and Combat Evolution

Post-capture, Anubis levels up with a Ground-heavy arsenal, shredding Electric foes:

• Forceful Charge (Lv. 30): Dash-punch burst, 120 power.
• Ground Smash (Lv. 40): Aerial slam AoE, 140 power.
• Other staples: Sand Tornado, Rock Lance, Burrowing precision strikes.

Its partner skill activates in combat, granting minor attack buffs and Ground-type player damage, ideal for boss runs or raids.

Base Utility and Work Suitability

Beyond battles, Anubis excels in your ranch:

Assign to workshops, mines, or farms for passive progression. Its stats shine in endurance tasks.

Pro Tips and Common Pitfalls

• Early Access: Prioritize breeding over alpha hunt if underleveled.
• Glitch Exploits: Some players cheese the fight by mounting high ground or sphere-spamming.
• Team Synergy: Pair with Water/Grass for Electric/Ground coverage.
• Avoid: Electric Pals (super effective against), close-range without shields.
