Anubis is one of the strongest Pals you can bring home in Palworld 1.0, and you do not have to beat its Alpha boss to get one. Breeding lets you skip the desert fight entirely and hatch an Anubis long before you are geared for the Level 47 version in the wild.
Quick answer: Put an opposite-gender Penking and Bushi in a Breeding Farm with Cake in the storage box. They produce a Huge Rocky Egg, and hatching it in an Egg Incubator gives you Anubis.
What you need before breeding Anubis
Two pieces of infrastructure gate the whole process. You unlock the Breeding Farm at Level 19, and it costs 100 Wood, 20 Stone, and 50 Fiber. Place it on flat ground so the parents do not get stuck on pathing.
You also need Cake sitting in the box attached to the farm. No Cake means no egg, even if the breeding meter fills. Anubis specifically hatches from a Huge Rocky Egg, which prefers a warm incubator, so keep a heat source near your Egg Incubator to speed up hatching.
Cake recipe
Cake is crafted in a Cooking Pot and needs a Pal with Kindling to fire it. The ingredients are fixed.
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Flour | 5 |
| Red Berries | 8 |
| Milk | 7 |
| Egg | 8 |
| Honey | 2 |
Cake production is the real bottleneck once you start breeding on repeat, so build out flour, berry, milk, egg, and honey supply chains before you commit to a long breeding project.
Best early Anubis combo: Penking and Bushi
Penking plus Bushi is the most practical route because both parents show up well below Anubis’s own level. Penking appears as a Level 15 field boss, and Bushi is a Level 23 field boss, so you can capture both long before you would stand a chance against Alpha Anubis. You can realistically hatch your first one around Level 20.
You know it worked when the finished egg reads as a Huge Rocky Egg and hatches into Anubis. If no egg forms, the usual causes are same-gender parents or an empty Cake box.
All current Anubis breeding combos
Penking and Bushi is the combo most players should reach for first, but several other pairings also produce Anubis. The parents you use do not make a stronger Anubis on their own. The reason to pick a later pairing is to pass down favorable passive skills or high IVs from Pals you have already developed.
| Combo | Best used for |
|---|---|
| Penking + Bushi | Earliest, easiest route |
| Anubis + Anubis | Refining passives and IVs once you own two |
| Blazamut + Faleris | Late-game roster inheritance |
| Blazamut + Shadowbeak | Passing combat passives |
| Jormuntide Ignis + Suzaku Aqua | Breeding-chain option |
| Suzaku Aqua + Lyleen Noct | Transferring existing passives |
| Suzaku Aqua + Necromus | Endgame alternative |
| Suzaku Aqua + Paladius | Endgame alternative |
Once you own a male and a female Anubis, pairing Anubis with Anubis is the cleanest long-term line. Every egg will be the same species, which lets you focus entirely on locking in passives and IV inheritance.
Best passives for a worker or combat Anubis
Anubis is strong enough to justify two dedicated builds. Trying to cram base work and combat into one Pal usually leaves you with something that is fine everywhere and excellent nowhere, so decide the role before you start chasing passives.
| Role | Priority passives | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Base worker | Artisan | +50% Work Speed |
| Base worker | Work Slave | +30% Work Speed (lowers Attack, which barely matters at base) |
| Combat | Musclehead, Ferocious | Higher Attack |
| Combat | Earth Emperor | +30% Earth attack damage |
| Combat | Burly Body | More Defense plus flinch immunity |
For the base, build around Work Speed first. Anubis brings Level 6 Handiwork, Level 6 Mining, and Level 4 Transporting, so it clears crafting queues fast and stays busy between jobs. If you need a specific queue finished, assign it directly to that workstation so it does not wander between crafting, mining, and hauling.
For your party, its base Attack of 130 makes it the strongest Ground-type damage dealer in the game. Once the passive line is set, start folding high Attack IVs into the breeding line to push a combat Anubis toward its ceiling.
Where to find Alpha Anubis
If you would rather catch one, Anubis roams as a Level 47 field Alpha boss in the desert northeast of the Sealed Realm of the Winged Tyrant teleport point, at roughly the coordinates -130, -96. It patrols the open area during both day and night.
Anubis is Ground-type, so Grass-element Pals hit its weakness hardest. Most of its heavy attacks are telegraphed with red markers, giving you time to step out of the danger zone. Bring ranged weapons like an Assault Rifle so you can keep firing while your Pals do the same, and weaken it before throwing a Sphere.
Breeding still wins as the first method because Penking and Bushi are captured far earlier than the Alpha, and it hands you direct control over passives and IVs. Catching the Alpha is worth it later for a second breeding parent and its drops, but Penking and Bushi will get an Anubis into your base with the least effort.
