Grow a Garden Anubis Update: Coins, Eggs & Relics (2026)

The Grow a Garden Anubis (officially Anubis Part 1) went live on Saturday, November 7, 2026. Its core loop is simple. Every hour, a 10-minute Anubis weather gives your plants a chance to roll the new Hieroglyphic mutation. You sell those fruits for Anubis Coins, then spend the coins in the Anubis Event Shop or push fruit into the Ancient Archaeology bar to unlock 20 rewards.

Every second hour, a bigger version of the weather spawns a boss and drops eight Obelisks across the map. Your whole server has to power them up to unlock a temporary Anubis Relic buff.

This guide breaks down the patch notes, the shop, the reward track, the new pets and plants, and which numbers are still unconfirmed.

Is the Anubis Update in Grow a Garden 2?

No. Everything points to the original game. Grow a Garden 2 launched on June 12, 2026 as a separate Roblox experience with its own wiki, its own updates, and no progress transfer, so Anubis Part 1 doesn’t touch it.

One timing wrinkle: the Roblox event listing showed 20:30 UTC, but one community wiki front page cited 21:30 UTC. If your server doesn’t show the update right away, rejoin and check the event page before assuming it’s delayed. Updates have landed on Saturdays at 20:30 UTC since August, so that slot is the safer bet.

How Anubis Weather and the Hieroglyphic Mutation Work

At the start of every hour, Anubis weather runs for 10 minutes. During that window, your plants have a chance to receive Hieroglyphic. Do the math and you get roughly one sixth of the day where the mutation can appear, which is why the timing matters more than any gear you own.

The patch notes don’t publish the Hieroglyphic multiplier, and I couldn’t find a confirmed number in any source. Don’t plan your selling around a figure you saw in a video. Check the sell price on a mutated fruit in-game, then compare it with the mutation multipliers you already know, because multipliers stack.

Two tools help you farm it faster:

• Anubis Bramble (Transcendent plant): every 10 minutes it mutates a nearby fruit with Hieroglyphic, with a 2.5% chance to add Blackout to a nearby Hieroglyphic fruit.
• Hieroglyphic Radar (gear): once activated, it expands a bubble around you and collects every Hieroglyphic fruit inside it, which saves a lot of walking when your garden is full.

How Do You Get Anubis Coins?

You sell Hieroglyphic-mutated fruit. That’s the only source named in the patch notes. The coin payout per fruit isn’t published, so any “coins per fruit” table you see right now is a guess.

The shop refreshes every hour with new stock, and you can pay Sheckles to restock it. A pre-release leak claimed the first three restocks would cost about 13 trillion Sheckles in total. I couldn’t verify that, so treat it as unconfirmed.

Anubis Event Shop Prices

The wiki lists these prices and stock chances. Each item also needs a set number of completed excavations before it can appear.

Item	Anubis Coins	Robux	Stock chance	Unlock requirement
Hieroglyphic Radar	250	199	50%	2 excavations
Anubis Crate	500	179	33.33%	2 excavations
Papyrus Seed	900	149	16.67%	4 excavations
Hieroglyphic Staff	1,250	199	12.5%	4 excavations
Anubis Egg	3,000	149	25%	6 excavations
Pharaoh’s Eye Seed	5,000	829	6.67%	10 excavations
Hiero Scorpion	13,500	1,699	2%	15 excavations

The stock chances are the real story here. A 2% chance means the Hiero Scorpion won’t show up every hour, so you’ll likely sit on a pile of coins waiting for a restock to cooperate. Hold your coins for the items you want most rather than spending on whatever appears first.

Ancient Archaeology Explained: Feeding Archaeologist Archie

Ancient Archaeology is the limited-time activity at the heart of the update. You submit fruits that match the trait and weight Archaeologist Archie asks for. Fill the progress bar and you uncover a buried object and claim a reward.

Here’s what the patch notes confirm: there are 20 rewards, progress restarts after you finish, and finishing stages also unlocks more items in the event shop.

The wiki adds two details worth knowing. The required trait changes every 30 minutes, and overflow weight doesn’t carry into the next stage. In practice, that means dumping one giant fruit into a small stage wastes most of its weight, so match fruit size to the stage you’re on.

Ancient Archaeology Rewards by Stage

This is the partial list I could confirm from the wiki. Stages 4, 10, 14, 17 and 20 weren’t visible in the sources I could access.

Stage	Reward	Weight needed
1	1x Anubis Crate	8 KG
2	1x Hieroglyphic Radar	12 KG
3	1x Hieroglyphic Staff	18 KG
5	1x Anubis Egg	35 KG
6	1x Anubis Crate	45 KG
7	1x Hieroglyphic Radar	60 KG
8	1x Anubis Egg	75 KG
9	2x Hieroglyphic Staff	95 KG
11	1x Anubis Crate	140 KG
12	1x Anubis Egg	170 KG
13	2x Hieroglyphic Radar	200 KG
15	1x Hieroglyphic Staff	285 KG
16	2x Anubis Crate	335 KG
18	2x Hieroglyphic Staff	440 KG
19	2x Anubis Egg	520 KG

Notice how the eggs cluster at stages 5, 8, 12 and 19. If you’re after pets, the Archaeology track is a cheaper route than buying eggs at 3,000 coins each, though the weight requirements climb fast. The loop feels a lot like the Wishing Well quest tiers from the Fairy Event: you feed it, it pays out in steps, and the later tiers demand much more.

Obelisks, Relics and the Boss: The Server-Wide Side of the Event

Every second hour, a different Anubis weather runs and a boss spawns. Eight ancient Obelisks crash down around the map, and your server has to power up all eight. Once they’re all active, a random Anubis Relic unlocks for the whole server.

A relic is a temporary garden buff, and there are eight possible relics. The wiki lists examples such as Scarab of Growth (1.5x plant growth) and Canopic Jar of Plenty (a 35% boost to growth size for Relic Fruits), but I couldn’t confirm the full list, so check the in-game prompt when the relic triggers.

The catch is cooperation. If your server is half empty or half AFK, the Obelisks may never all light up, so a busy server is worth more than a perfectly optimized garden during these windows.

Everything New in Anubis Part 1: Plants, Pets and Gear

The patch notes list these additions:

• Plants: Anubis Bramble, Pharaoh’s Eye, Papyrus, Prosperity Palm, Tomb Lily and Wraproot
• Pets: Hiero Scorpion, Uraeus, Apshait
• Items: Anubis Egg (four possible pets), Anubis Crate, Hieroglyphic Radar, Hieroglyphic Staff
• Cosmetics: new Anubis cosmetics
• Fixes and changes: reworked Sell All Pets, plus fixes for lag, cosmetics, plant bugs, pet bugs and general performance

What Pets Can Hatch From the Anubis Egg?

The egg holds four pets: Apshait, Uraeus, Bennu and Ancient Sphinx. The official notes don’t publish hatch odds. A leak circulating before release gave the numbers below, so use them as a rough guide only.

Pet	Leaked chance	Ability (as listed)
Apshait	55%	Consumes fruit for a chance to apply Sandy or Pestilent
Uraeus	35%	Chance to spread Hieroglyphic up to three times per weather
Bennu	9.5%	Consumes one Rot, Blight or Pestilent fruit for a chance at Gilded, egg progress or pet age
Ancient Sphinx	0.5%	Destroys three Rare or Legendary plants to grow plants by 12 hours and apply Mirage; separately drains pet age to refresh cooldowns and grant XP

Uraeus is the one that matters for this event, since spreading Hieroglyphic means more sellable fruit per weather. Ancient Sphinx is rare, but its costs are real: it eats plants and pet age, so a rare hatch isn’t automatically a good one. For how these stack against your current lineup, see the best pets for mutation spreading.

Hiero Scorpion

The Hiero Scorpion is a Prismatic pet with 300,000 hunger. Its Hiero Sting ability fires every 23 minutes and 20 seconds: it stings your lowest-level pet for 40% XP, with a 4% chance to give that pet the Hiero Venom pet mutation. At 13,500 coins and a 2% stock chance, it’s the long-haul goal of the shop.

Anubis Bramble

The seed costs 2.5 trillion Sheckles or 1,599 Robux, and it only has a 0.14% (1 in 700) chance to restock. That makes it a late-game purchase. If you can’t afford it, the Radar and the weather are enough to earn coins without it.

Which Anubis Is Which? The Season 7 Pet vs the Event

Searches for “Anubis” in Grow a Garden mix up two different things. The Anubis pet is a Mythical pet from the Harvest Moon Event’s second part, added on August 8, 2026, and it came from Level 40 of the Season 7 Season Pass. The wiki now lists it as unobtainable.

Its passive, Earth Emperor, destroys a fruit with 32 or more mutations (even a favorited one) and ages another pet in your garden based on the mutation count. That’s a very different job from the Anubis event, which is about the Hieroglyphic mutation and coins. If you’re hunting the pet, the event won’t give it to you.

A Practical Plan for Your First Day

Here’s how I’d sequence it, based on the mechanics above rather than a tested run:

1. Be online at the top of the hour. The weather only runs 10 minutes, and that’s your whole window for Hieroglyphic.
2. Check Archie’s requested trait before you submit. It rotates every 30 minutes, and a wrong-trait fruit won’t count.
3. Use the Radar on a full garden. It’s the fastest way to pull Hieroglyphic fruit into your inventory.
4. Save coins for the stock you actually want. With stock chances as low as 2%, impulse spending leaves you short when a rare item appears.
5. Think twice before paying Robux. The Robux prices on the wiki are steep for the rarer items, and the Archaeology track gives you eggs, Crates and gear for free.

Anubis Part 1 is also the follow-up to the Halloween run, so if you’re catching up, the Ghoul Garden guide covers what that event added. Event timing across the 2026 updates has been short, as the Fairy Event showed, so don’t wait on the Anubis end date: it hasn’t been announced.

What We Couldn’t Confirm Yet

A few details are still open, and I’d rather flag them than guess:

• Hieroglyphic multiplier: not published in the patch notes.
• Anubis Coins per fruit: not published.
• Egg hatch odds: only a pre-release leak exists.
• Full relic list: only two relic effects appeared in the sources I could access.
• End date and Part 2: not announced. The wiki lists the end as “to be determined.”
• Wiki tables: these came from a pre-release snapshot, so verify prices and stock chances in-game, since devs can rebalance after launch.

If a number in this guide changes after a hotfix, the in-game value wins.
