Commandments are permanent stat upgrades in Anime Astral Simulator that you unlock once you reach World 12, the Lion Kingdom. They come from timed crystals that appear across the map, and collecting them raises core stats like power, damage, luck, and yen. Because only one Commandment can be active at a time, knowing where crystals spawn and what each one does decides how fast you progress.
Quick answer: Reach World 12 (Lion Kingdom) to unlock Commandments. Crystals spawn every 20 minutes at :00, :20, and :40 past the hour, announced by a server-wide notification. Grab the crystal, then equip a Commandment at the monument in the center of Lion Kingdom.
How to unlock Commandments in Anime Astral Simulator
Commandments are tied to World 12, the Lion Kingdom, which arrived with Update 8. Progress through the worlds until you can enter Lion Kingdom, and the system becomes available there. These are permanent progression upgrades, so once a Commandment is leveled it stays with your account.
The upgrades cover a wide range of stats, including power, damage, luck, yen, XP, item drops, and gacha speed. That spread is what makes them worth farming regularly once you have access.
Crystal spawn times and how the timer works
Commandment crystals follow a fixed clock. A new crystal appears every 20 minutes, landing at :00, :20, and :40 past the hour. When one spawns, every player on the server sees a notification such as “The Commandment of Truth has appeared in Lion Kingdom! Find it and claim it!”
The crystal is a race. The moment one player collects it, the crystal disappears for everyone else on that server. If nobody claims it, the crystal despawns on its own after 30 minutes, so you have a window but not an unlimited one.
Similar prompts can point to other items in different maps, like “A crow has appeared in Slayer Village!” or “A ball has appeared in Summer Art Online!” For Commandments specifically, watch for the Lion Kingdom callout.
Where Commandment crystals spawn in Lion Kingdom
Crystals do not appear in random corners of the map. They cluster around a handful of landmarks in Lion Kingdom, so checking these first saves you most of the timer.
- Near the World Boss portal
- Near the Sins Raid portal
- Close to the Lion progression area
- Beside the craft machine
When the notification fires, sweep these four spots in order. Because the crystal despawns after 30 minutes and can be taken by anyone, moving straight to the nearest landmark gives you the best chance of claiming it.
All 10 Commandments and their max bonuses
Update 8 introduced 10 Commandments, each tied to a single stat. The values below are the maximum bonus each one reaches once fully leveled.
| Commandment | Stat | Max bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Faith | Gacha Speed | +5 |
| Love | Shiny Chance | 2.5x |
| Pacifism | Yen multiplier | 4x |
| Patience | XP gain | 2.5x |
| Piety | Power | 4x |
| Purity | Critical Chance | 2.5% |
| Repose | Luck multiplier | 2.5x |
| Reticence | Total Damage | 4x |
| Selflessness | Item Drop | +1 |
| Truth | Critical Damage | 25% |
Leveling up a Commandment
A Commandment gets stronger when you collect duplicate crystals of the same type. Each duplicate permanently levels that Commandment, pushing its bonus closer to the maximum listed above. There is no reset involved, so every matching crystal you claim is progress you keep.
Because the values only reach their peak after repeated collections, farming the same Commandment over several spawn cycles is how you hit numbers like 4x Power or 4x Total Damage.
How to equip and swap Commandments
Which Commandment to run for each goal
Since you can only equip one at a time, match the Commandment to what you are doing right now.
| Goal | Best Commandment |
|---|---|
| General progression | Piety |
| Rare item farming | Repose |
| Boss and raid drops | Selflessness |
| Pure damage output | Reticence |
| Stacking yen | Pacifism |
Piety is the default pick while you climb worlds, since more power speeds up nearly every clear. Switch to Repose when you are hunting rare drops, Selflessness before boss or Sins Raid runs, and Pacifism during dedicated yen farming sessions.
With the spawn clock, the four Lion Kingdom landmarks, and the bonus table in mind, you can plan farming around the 20-minute cycle and steadily push each Commandment toward its cap.
