How to Get Hieroglyphic Mutation in Grow a Garden (2026)

You can get the Hieroglyphic mutation in Grow a Garden three ways. The free one is Anubis weather, which runs for 10 minutes at the start of every hour and gives your plants a chance to roll it. The other two are speed-ups: the Anubis Bramble plant, which mutates a nearby fruit every 10 minutes, and the Uraeus pet, which can spread the mutation to extra fruit.

Weather is the only method every player can use today. It also matters more than any other source, because Hieroglyphic fruit is the only thing that earns event currency in the new Anubis Part 1.

This guide ranks all three methods by cost and reliability, explains how to collect the fruit faster, and flags what the developers haven’t published yet.

Where Does the Hieroglyphic Mutation Come From?

Method	Cost	How often	How sure are we?
Anubis weather	Free	Starts every hour, lasts 10 minutes	Confirmed in the official patch notes
Anubis Bramble	2.5 trillion Sheckles or 1,599 Robux	Every 10 minutes, one nearby fruit	Ability confirmed
Uraeus pet	Anubis Egg; leaked 35% hatch chance	Up to 3 spreads per weather	Not yet verified in play

I found no mutation spray or direct purchase for Hieroglyphic in any source, so those three routes are the full list for now.

Method 1: Anubis Weather, the Free Route

At the beginning of every hour, Anubis weather starts and runs for 10 minutes. While it’s active, your plants have a chance to receive Hieroglyphic. The patch notes describe it as a chance, not a guarantee, and the wiki says fruits get it “occasionally,” so expect some plants to miss.

The practical rule is the same one that applies to every weather mutation: crops have to be growing when the window opens. Mutations land on plants that are already in the ground, so a freshly harvested bed does nothing for you. Multi-harvest plants are the better pick because they give you repeated rolls on the same plant during the 10 minutes.

Anubis weather also sits on top of the regular weather events that roll through every few minutes, so a crop can pick up more than one mutation in the same window.

Every second hour, a different Anubis weather runs and the boss spawns. Whether Hieroglyphic can also roll during that boss weather isn’t stated in the patch notes, so don’t count on it.

Method 2: Anubis Bramble, Worth 2.5 Trillion Sheckles?

The Anubis Bramble is a Transcendent plant. Every 10 minutes it mutates a random nearby fruit with Hieroglyphic, and it has a 2.5% chance to apply Blackout to a nearby Hieroglyphic fruit. On paper, that’s six guaranteed Hieroglyphic fruits per hour, as long as it has fruit nearby to mutate.

The Blackout roll is the interesting part. Blackout is listed at 95x in our mutations list, and a crop carrying both mutations stacks them. About one Bramble roll in forty adds it, so it’s a bonus, not the plan.

The cost is the catch. The wiki lists the seed at 2.5 trillion Sheckles or 1,599 Robux, with a 0.14% (1 in 700) chance to appear in the seed shop. Even if you have the Sheckles, you may wait a long time for it to restock.

My read: the Bramble is a late-game purchase. If you can’t afford it, weather plus the Radar below gives you most of the benefit.

Method 3: Can Uraeus Spread Hieroglyphic to More Fruit?

Probably, but treat it as unconfirmed until you’ve seen it work. Uraeus hatches from the Anubis Egg, and the wiki lists its ability, The Risen Asp, as a chance to spread Hieroglyphic to another fruit, up to three times per weather. A pre-release leak put its hatch chance at 35%.

There’s a naming wrinkle. The wiki describes the ability as working during “Dune Storm” weather, while the official patch notes call the event weather Anubis weather. Nobody has confirmed they’re the same thing, so check the pet’s tooltip in-game before you build around it.

You can get the egg in two ways:

• Buy it from the shop for 3,000 Anubis Coins (25% stock chance, needs 6 completed excavations).
• Earn it from Ancient Archaeology at stages 5, 8, 12 and 19, as listed in the Ancient Archaeology rewards table.

The wiki also notes that duplicate pets can stack abilities in general. Whether two Uraeus stack their spread count hasn’t been tested, as far as I could find. For how it compares with the rest of your lineup, check the pet tier list.

What Does the Hieroglyphic Mutation Actually Do?

The confirmed use is simple: sell Hieroglyphic fruit to earn Anubis Coins. The Hieroglyphic Radar collects it, and Archaeologist Archie’s requests may call for it, though one pre-release guide said it isn’t clear that every submission needs the mutation.

The Hieroglyphic multiplier isn’t published in the patch notes, and I couldn’t find a confirmed figure anywhere. Coin payout per fruit isn’t published either, so I can’t tell you whether the multiplier even scales coins or only affects Sheckle value. Don’t trust a number from a video until you’ve checked a mutated fruit’s sell price yourself.

When you do have the figure, the community wiki’s stacking rule makes it easy to plug in: total multiplier equals the crop’s variant times (1 + the sum of each mutation’s multiplier minus the number of mutations). The value calculator can do the math for you.

Here’s how that plays with the Bramble’s bonus. If Hieroglyphic is worth H, a crop with Hieroglyphic and Blackout (95x) works out to H + 94 on a normal variant. That means the Blackout roll adds about 94 to the bracket no matter what Hieroglyphic turns out to be.

Can You Collect Hieroglyphic Fruit Faster? Radar and Staff

The Hieroglyphic Radar is the one tool with a clear job. After you activate it, a bubble expands around you, and every Hieroglyphic fruit inside it goes straight into your inventory. On a full garden, that saves a lot of walking during a 10-minute window.

You can get it from the shop for 250 Anubis Coins (50% stock chance, needs 2 excavations) or from Ancient Archaeology at stages 2, 7 and 13.

The Hieroglyphic Staff is the unknown. It costs 1,250 coins at a 12.5% stock chance, and it drops from stages 3, 9, 15 and 18, but I couldn’t find a description of what it does. Older staffs like the Corrupt Staff add their mutation when placed in your garden, but I can’t confirm this one works the same way. Test a free one from Archaeology before you spend coins on it.

Why Aren’t My Plants Getting Hieroglyphic?

If nothing is rolling, check these first:

• Wrong game. Anubis Part 1 is in the original Grow a Garden, not Grow a Garden 2.
• Wrong minute. The weather only runs for the first 10 minutes of each hour.
• Nothing growing. Plants have to be in the ground when the window opens.
• Bad luck. It’s a chance-based mutation, so a small garden gets fewer rolls than a full one.
• Old server. The update went live on November 7 at 20:30 UTC per the Roblox event listing. If your server doesn’t show Anubis weather, rejoin.

A Simple Hieroglyphic Farming Setup

This plan comes from the mechanics above, not from a tested run, so adjust it once you see your own numbers:

1. Plant multi-harvest crops before the hour. More plants and repeated harvests mean more rolls during the 10-minute window.
2. Keep the Radar ready. Activate it as the weather ends to scoop up everything that rolled.
3. Add a Bramble only if it’s affordable. It covers the 50 minutes the weather isn’t running.
4. Hatch for Uraeus, but verify it first. Check the tooltip before you rely on the spread.
5. Watch the sell price. Once you know what a Hieroglyphic fruit is worth, you can decide how many to sell and how many to hold for Archie.

What We Couldn’t Confirm Yet

• Hieroglyphic multiplier: not published.
• Coins per fruit: not published.
• Hieroglyphic Staff effect: no description found.
• Uraeus hatch chance and spread cap: wiki and leak data only.
• Whether boss weather also rolls Hieroglyphic: not stated.
• Wiki prices and stock chances: taken from a pre-release snapshot, so verify in-game, since devs can rebalance after launch.
