Palworld Anubis breeding is absolutely worth doing for anybody building the ideal team - Anubis is one of the most powerful Pals in the game, but while there's a location in the game where you can catch one, it's incredibly difficult to do. Far better to go and breed Anubis on your own, which is far more manageable and can be done around the mid-game, rather than the final stages. For those who want to learn about breeding Anubis in Palworld, here's all the essential information.

To breed Anubis in Palworld, you need to set up all the usual Palworld Breeding facilities in your base, then you need to find any of the following pairs of Pals, of different genders.

- Nitewing / Rayhound

- Caprity / Beakon

- Incineram / Surfent

- Eikthrydeer / Beacon

- Arsox / Pyrin

- Penking / Bushi

- Katress / Mossanda

- Kitsune / Jormuntide

There may be other pairs that work and are yet to be discovered, but for us, the combination that was successful the first time around was Nitewing and Rayhound. Nitewing are very easy to find in the starting area, and you can find Rayhound scattered across the desert in the Northeast corner of the map, usually around level 30. 

Once you have them both, one male and one female, bring them back to any of your Palworld base locations and set them up at a breeding farm with cake. They should produce a Huge Rocky Egg. Place that in the Palworld Incubator and, if you're lucky, it will produce a level 1 Anubis!

If you're not into breeding your own, there is a level 47 Alpha Boss Anubis in the game, in the central desert overworld in the area marked above, standing at the base of a statue of itself (the same area where you can farm coal in Palworld). Be warned - this is basically an endgame boss, and you shouldn't expect to beat or catch it unless you've got some of the game's most powerful Pals.

It's also the case that you can use Anubis as one half a breeding pair to breed the mighty phoenix Faleris - for more details on that, check out our Palworld Faleris guide here
