How to Breed Anubis in Palworld

In the ever-evolving world of Palworld, Anubis remains the undisputed king of base productivity and a top-tier fighting companion. Known for its legendary Handiwork (Lv. 4), this Ground-type Pal is a massive asset for any player looking to automate their production lines. While you can attempt to catch the Level 47 Alpha Boss version in the wild at the Twilight Dunes, most players find that breeding Anubis is a far more efficient way to obtain this powerhouse with perfect stats and traits as early as Level 19.
This guide will carefully explain the breeding mechanics, the best breeding combinations, and how to maximize Anubis's devastating attacks to crush any enemy.
What is Anubis in Palworld?
Anubis is a Ground-element Pal that serves as a guardian of the desert. Beyond its utility on the farm, it is a combat specialist that uses a high-speed dash to outmaneuver the foe. Its power lies in its ability to dodge incoming energy blasts and counter-attack with a powerful punch. Whether you are looking for a worker with strong legs for Transporting (Lv. 2) or a miner with Mining (Lv. 3), Anubis is the ultimate all-rounder.
Requirements for Breeding Anubis in Palworld
To begin your journey, you must first establish the proper infrastructure. Breeding Pals is a complex process that requires specific technology and a bit of a waiting game.
The Breeding Farm: Unlocking and Construction
The Breeding Farm is unlocked at Level 19. You will need 100 Wood, 20 Stone, and 50 Fiber to build this massive structure. Ensure it is placed on flat ground within your base to prevent Pals from getting stuck in the air due to pathing glitches.
How to Craft Cake for Breeding
Pals won't produce an egg without a bribe. You must craft Cake in a Cooking Pot (Level 17).
- Ingredients: 5 Flour, 8 Red Berries, 7 Milk, 8 Eggs, and 2 Honey.
- Once crafted, place the Cake in the box attached to the Breeding Farm.
The Egg Incubator and Ancient Technology
After the breeding cycle, you will receive a Huge Rocky Egg. To begin hatching, you need an Egg Incubator (Level 7). Because Anubis is a Ground Pal, its egg prefers a warm environment. If the egg is too cold, the hatching speed drops significantly.
The Electric Incubator and Alpha Eggs:
In the latest 2025 updates, players can now unlock the Electric Incubator. Unlike the standard version, this advanced tech automatically regulates temperature for your Huge Rocky Egg, ensuring a consistent 100% speed bonus regardless of the biome. Additionally, breeding now has a rare 5% chance to produce an Alpha Anubis directly from the farm, granting your offspring a massive 20% HP bonus over standard versions.
Best Breeding Combinations for Anubis
There are dozens of breeding combinations available, but the community relies on a few shortcut pairs. Using a breeding calculator can help you find pairs based on your current Pal deck.
The Famous Bushi + Penking Method
This is the most popular route.
- Penking (Lv. 15): Found at the Sealed Realm of the Frozen Wings.
- Bushi (Lv. 23): Found at the Sealed Realm of the Swordmaster.
- By pairing a male and female of these two, you are guaranteed an Anubis offspring.
Alternative Pairs:
- Quivern + Chillet: Great for mid-game players.
- Celaray + Relaxaurus: Easy to find, though often results in the Glutton trait.
- Arsoquak + Broncherry: Excellent for early Ground-type enthusiasts.
Understanding Anubis's Combat Attacks
Anubis is not just a laborer; it is built for fighting. Its attacks are designed to overwhelm an enemy with speed and Ground-element force.
- Spin Kick: A rapid 360-degree attack that strikes any foe in range.
- Two Sand Tornadoes: Anubis summons sand tornadoes that spiral toward the enemy, releasing energy on impact.
- Large Destructive Ball: Anubis charges a sphere of earth and launches it like a large destructive ball, causing impact deals of massive damage.
- High Speed Dash: Used to evade attacks and reposition for a powerful punch.
- Sharp Rock Spear: A focused strike that pierces the enemy's defense.
Breeding for the 2025 Combat Meta
For high-level fighting, the Serenity trait is now essential. It reduces active skill cooldowns by 30%, allowing Anubis to spam its high-speed dash and two sand tornadoes more frequently. Breeders are also using Skill Fruits to pass down Holy Burst, currently the highest DPS skill in the game, ensuring Anubis can delete any enemy in seconds.
Breeding for Variants: Lux, Cryst, and Terra
In the 2025 Palworld landscape, elemental variants are king. While you breed for Anubis, you may encounter parents with Lux or Cryst modifiers.
The Lux and Cryst Factor
Breeding specific Pals can lead to elemental shifts. Many players look for Penking Lux, Pengullet Lux, or Celaray Lux to add Electric utility to their team. For ice-themed bases, Cryst variants like Mau Cryst, Loupmoon Cryst, Azurobe Cryst, Kingpaca Cryst, Jolthog Cryst, and Reptyro Cryst are essential.
The Terra Evolution
For the ultimate Ground team, consider breeding Terra variants such as:
- Gorirat Terra and Cryolinx Terra
- Surfent Terra and Warsect Terra
- Eikthyrdeer Terra
- These Pals, alongside Anubis, create a synergy that makes your base immune to Electric-type raids.
Advanced Breeding: Passing Traits and Stats
The goal of high-level breeding is to create a Perfect Anubis. This involves passing down specific passive traits.
- Artisan: Boosts work speed by 30%.
- Serious: Boosts work speed by 20%.
- Lucky: If you are lucky enough to find a Shiny parent, you can pass this trait for a 15% boost to both Attack and Work Speed.
- Shunned Wealth or Dumud Gild: Rare 2025 traits that can sometimes appear in specific combinations.
How to Breed the 24/7 Nocturnal Anubis
The 2025 meta has shifted. To create the ultimate worker, you must now breed the Nocturnal trait onto Anubis. Since Anubis is naturally diurnal, adding Nocturnal allows it to ignore sleep, working through the night to maximize your farm output.
The 2025 God-Tier Worker Build:
- Nocturnal: Works 24/7.
- Remarkable Craftsmanship: A new 2025 trait providing +75% Work Speed.
- Artisan: +30% Work Speed.
- Work Slave: +30% Work Speed.
Using this combination, your Anubis will reach near-instant crafting speeds, effectively replacing an entire squad of lesser Pals.
Common Problems and Fixes in the Breeding Farm
Sometimes the breeding process stalls. Here is how to fix it:
- Sanity (SAN) Loss: If a Pal's SAN is too low, they will stop working. Build a Hot Spring near the farm.
- Fixed to Farm Bug: If a Pal wanders off, pick them up and throw them back at the hay.
- Pathing Issues: Ensure no objects like a demon eye statue or blue slime (decorative) are blocking the entrance.
- Gender Lock: Ensure you have opposite genders. Two male Pals will never produce an egg.
2025 Rare Variant Breeding: Faleris and More
As you expand your breeding program, you may look into rarer 2025 variants like Faleris Aqua, Elphidran Aqua, or Killamari Primo. While these aren't required for Anubis, the mechanics you learn at the Anubis farm, like impact deals damage calculations and waiting game management, will apply to these endgame Pals.
How to Use the Pal Condenser
Once you have produced dozens of Anubis offspring, use the Pal Essence Condenser. This allows you to sacrifice spare Pals to power up your main Anubis. This increases its base stats, making its impact deals even more lethal in combat. Fully condensing an Anubis can even raise its Handiwork to Level 5.
Reaching Level 5 Handiwork with V-Condensation
In late 2025, the V-Condensation Machine allows you to push Anubis beyond its natural limits. By condensing 116 clones, your Anubis will reach Handiwork Level 5, making it the fastest crafter in the history of Palworld. This process also significantly boosts its stats, allowing a 4-star Anubis to reach over 1,900 Attack.
Conclusion
Breeding Anubis is a rite of passage in Palworld that separates casual players from base-building masters. By mastering the Breeding Farm mechanics and selecting the right parents, you can obtain a Pal that is a literal god of the desert. The landscape has shifted significantly with the Version 0.6.0 balance changes, making trait optimization more important than ever. Whether you are hunting for the new Nocturnal trait discovered on Feybreak Island to create a worker who never stops, or a warrior who can strike a foe with a rainbow slime (elemental) explosion of Ground energy, Anubis remains the definitive answer.
As you conclude your waiting game at the egg incubator, remember that the journey doesn't end at the first hatch. To truly maximize your efficiency, use the Palworld Breeding Calculator to experiment with rare Lux and Cryst cross-breeds. Start your breeding journey today, keep your Cake box full, and watch as your base efficiency reaches levels you never thought possible in 2026.
