Exploration

Where do you find Anubis in Palworld?

Answer

Anubis is found in Palpagos Island's desert region, both as a rare wild spawn among the dunes and as the boss encounter tied to that area's tower. It's a Ground-type Pal with strong melee stats, so heat protection and a solid weapon are essential before heading into its territory.

Quick answer

Anubis is a Ground-type Pal tied to Palpagos Island's desert region, appearing both as an occasional wild high-level spawn in the dunes and as the region's tower boss. It's a hard-hitting melee fighter, so most players tackle it with proper desert gear and a well-prepared loadout.

Where to look

Anubis's territory is the open desert stretching across the island's arid zone, with the tower encounter located within that same broader region.

Region	Level range	Notes
Desert dunes (wild spawn)	30-40	Rare high-level wild encounters
Desert tower (boss fight)	Boss-tier	Structured fight, requires tower access

Desert terrain can be disorienting with few landmarks, so use our interactive map to pinpoint the tower entrance and any nearby fast travel statues before you head out.

How to get there safely

Pack heat resistance gear or food buffs. The desert environment drains stamina and health without it.
Bring plenty of water, since dehydration is a real hazard crossing open dune terrain.
Gear up with a mid-to-late game weapon before attempting the tower fight — Anubis hits hard in melee range.
Stock healing items fully, since the boss encounter doesn't allow mid-fight restocking.

What you get

A strong Ground-type Pal with good melee combat stats
Solid Mining and Handiwork suitability for base work once caught or bred
Boss-tier materials and progression if you complete the tower fight
