Palworld: How to Breed Anubis

The exact parent pairing, farm requirements, and hatching steps to guarantee an Anubis egg.

The exact parent pairing, farm requirements, and hatching steps to guarantee an Anubis egg.

Anubis is a Ground-element Pal and one of the strongest melee fighters you can get early, but it never wanders the overworld on its own. Outside of the Level 47 Alpha boss, the reliable way to add it to your team is to hatch it from a Huge Rocky Egg produced at a Breeding Farm.

Quick answer: Put a male and female Penking and Bushi in a Breeding Farm with Cake in the feed box. The pair is guaranteed to produce a Huge Rocky Egg that hatches into Anubis.

The breeding combination for Anubis

The dependable route is Penking paired with Bushi. You need one of each species, and the two Pals must be opposite genders. Two males or two females will never lay an egg, so check the gender icons before you drop them in.

ParentWhere to find it
PenkingSealed Realm of the Frozen Wings
BushiSealed Realm of the Swordmaster

Other pairings can also land on Anubis if you already own the right Pals, including Quivern with Chillet, Celaray with Relaxaurus, and Arsoquak with Broncherry. Penking and Bushi stay the go-to because both parents are easy to obtain and the result is fixed.


What you need before breeding

Breeding unlocks at Level 19. Two structures and one food item gate the whole process.

RequirementUnlock / cost
Breeding FarmLevel 19 — 100 Wood, 20 Stone, 50 Fiber
Cooking PotLevel 17 (used to make Cake)
Egg IncubatorLevel 7

The Breeding Farm has to sit on flat ground inside your base. On uneven terrain, Pals can get stuck in the air and stall the cycle.

Pals will not produce an egg without Cake in the farm’s feed box. Craft it in a Cooking Pot with the following ingredients.

How to breed and hatch Anubis

Build the Breeding Farm on level ground and stock the feed box with Cake. Keep it topped up so breeding does not pause between eggs.

Place a Penking and a Bushi of opposite genders inside the farm. After a short cycle, they produce a Huge Rocky Egg.
Pick up the egg and set it in an Egg Incubator. Anubis hatches from the Huge Rocky Egg, which also produces Pals like Warsect, so confirm the offspring after it hatches.

Keep the egg warm. As a Ground-type egg, it prefers a warm environment, and hatching speed drops sharply if it gets too cold. Placing the incubator near a heat source keeps the timer moving.

You know it worked when the egg finishes hatching and Anubis (Paldeck No. 100) appears in your party. A guaranteed pairing removes any guesswork, so a Penking and Bushi couple should never produce a different species.


Common reasons no egg appears

  • The two Pals share the same gender. You need one male and one female.
  • The feed box is empty. Without Cake, breeding will not start.
  • A Pal’s Sanity has dropped too low, and it stops working. A Hot Spring nearby restores it.
  • A Pal has wandered off or clipped into terrain. Pick it up and place it back on the farm.

Catching the Alpha boss instead

If you would rather capture Anubis, it appears as a Field Alpha boss at Level 47 in the desert northeast of the Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant, roaming out in the open around coordinates -130, -96. It shows up regardless of day or night.

Anubis is a Ground-type, so Grass Pals such as Dinossom, Verdash, or Bristla hit its weakness. Bring ranged firepower like an Assault Rifle with plenty of ammo, keep a Sword ready for close range, and equip a Hyper Shield to survive the longer fight. Step out of the way of its lunges and heavy slams rather than trading blows.

Breeding remains the cleaner path because it lets you aim for better IVs and passive skills, and you can start as soon as you reach Level 19 rather than waiting until you can beat a Level 47 boss.
