Unlock Anubis in Bizarre Lineage by clearing all three Jackal Trials inside the Duat rift, then turning in the ritual tribute at the altar in the Hall of Weighing — a chain that realistically costs 3–5 hours of focused farming, or a single evening if you already have Canopic Seals banked. Prioritize Canopic Seals first, Jackal Sigils second, and skip the cosmetic Golden Wraps until the unlock is finished. Anubis then slots cleanly into two playstyles (burst-execute and debuff-bruiser) and fits a third (pure healer) poorly enough that you should not build it.
A quick note on numbers: drop tables and quest names shift between patches, so treat every figure below as a planning target and confirm the exact values in your build’s in-game Codex under Lore → Duat. The reasoning behind each step doesn’t change with the patch; the decimal places do.

The Anubis Unlock Chain, Step by Step
Anubis is not a gacha pull or a shop purchase — it’s a ritual chain, and every step gates the next one. Here’s the order and, more importantly, why each step exists.
- 1. Clear the Duat rift at least once to flag the questline. The altar NPC in the Hall of Weighing won’t offer the ritual until the rift’s first-clear flag is set on your account. Reason: this prevents players from wandering into a level-40 ritual chain at level 15. If the altar looks empty, you haven’t cleared the rift on that character yet.
- 2. Complete the three Jackal Trials in order: Feather, Scale, Heart. Each trial drops one trial token, and the altar consumes them sequentially. Reason to do them in order rather than farming them in parallel: the Heart trial’s boss only spawns after the Scale token is in your inventory, so parallel farming just wastes rift entries.
- 3. Bank 12 Canopic Seals before you start the tribute turn-in. The tribute asks for Seals in a single hand-in, not incrementally. Reason: partial hand-ins don’t persist across a reset, and a failed turn-in eats the materials you submitted. Gather the full stack first.
- 4. Turn in the tribute at the altar and complete the Weighing cutscene. This is the actual unlock moment. Do it in a safe channel — the cutscene locks your inputs for roughly 20 seconds and the altar room is a PvP-flagged zone on most servers.
- 5. Spend your first 3 Awakening points on the Judgement passive, not on raw attack. The passive is what makes Anubis a build-defining unit rather than a stat stick. Attack nodes are cheaper to get from gear; the passive isn’t available anywhere else.
Which Materials to Prioritize (and Which to Skip)
Every guide tells you to “farm everything.” That’s bad advice — the tribute and the first Awakening tier compete for the same rift time, and some materials are strictly optional. Here’s the priority order, with typical quantities from the current live build.
| Material | Primary source | Typical amount needed | Priority | Why |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Canopic Seal | Duat rift trash mobs, Anubis altar hand-in | 12 for the ritual, 30 for Awakening tier 1 | Critical | Hard gate — no substitutes exist |
| Jackal Sigil | Feather and Scale trial bosses | 6–10 | High | Required for the sigil set bonus that carries the crit build |
| Duat Shard | Rift clear reward, daily chest | 40–60 | Medium | Used for Awakening tiers 2–3; farm passively, don’t grind |
| Embalming Resin | Heart trial, crafting vendors | 15–25 | Medium | Cheap to buy; only grind it if your server’s market is thin |
| Golden Wraps | Event shop, rare rift drop | 1 | Skip for now | Cosmetic only — zero stat contribution |
Two practical rules fall out of that table. First, if your time is limited, buy Embalming Resin off the player market and spend the saved hours on Seals — Resin is usually cheap because the Heart trial drops it in bulk. Second, never trade Seals for Shards, even when the exchange rate looks favorable; Shards arrive on their own from daily chests, Seals don’t.
A Worked Example: Hitting the Judgement Threshold
Anubis’s signature ability, Judgement, only fires its execute effect when a target drops below roughly 25% HP and your crit rate is at or above 60%. Players routinely miss the second condition and conclude the ability is bugged. It isn’t — it’s a stat check. Here’s the arithmetic on a typical mid-game character:
- Base crit rate: 5%
- Anubis weapon (Khopesh-class): +12%
- Jackal Sigil 4-piece set bonus: +18%
- Relic ring, mid-tier: +20%
- Running total: 55% — five points short of the trigger.
The fix is not to rebuild your whole character. Swap one flat-attack relic for a crit relic (a single slot, usually worth about +8% crit at the cost of roughly 6% sheet attack), or time your burst window to overlap with the Awakening passive’s temporary +10% crit buff. Either gets you over 60%, and the second costs nothing but rotation discipline. The takeaway: on Anubis, crit rate is a threshold stat, not a stacking stat. Going from 60% to 75% adds almost nothing; going from 55% to 60% doubles your execute uptime.
Build Tips by Playstyle
Burst-execute Anubis (best for boss content and arena)
Stack crit rate to the 60% threshold, then pour everything else into crit damage. This is the build the kit is clearly designed around — Judgement plus a Khopesh-class weapon deletes anything already softened up by your team. Main trade-off: you are fragile. You have no reliable self-sustain, so you’re dependent on a healer or on killing before you’re killed. Suits players who already run a dedicated support.
Debuff-bruiser Anubis (best for solo rift farming)
Take the HP and tenacity Awakening nodes instead of the crit-damage line, and lean on Anubis’s Weighing debuff to shred enemy defense while you out-sustain them. Lower ceiling, far higher floor. Main trade-off: your clear times on bosses will be noticeably slower — expect it — and Judgement will rarely trigger, because you’re not hitting the crit threshold. That’s fine; you’re not building for it.
Support / healer Anubis (don’t)
Anubis has no party healing, no cleanse, and no shield in its base kit. If your team needs a support, this is the wrong unit regardless of how the stats look on paper. The one exception is a hybrid debuff role in a team that already has two healers, which is rare.
| Your situation | Recommended focus | Core setup | Main trade-off |
|---|---|---|---|
| Boss raids, coordinated team | Burst-execute | 60% crit, rest into crit damage; Khopesh weapon; Sigil 4-piece | Very low survivability without a healer |
| Solo rift farming | Debuff-bruiser | HP + tenacity nodes, Weighing debuff uptime, defensive relics | Slower boss kills; Judgement rarely triggers |
| Arena PvP | Hybrid | 55% crit plus a mobility relic; drop one damage slot | Below the execute threshold in most matchups |
| Just unlocked, low gear | Debuff-bruiser first | Whatever defensive relics you own; ignore crit entirely | You’ll rebuild later — accept the respec cost |
Mistakes That Cost Players a Week
- Grinding Golden Wraps before the ritual. They’re cosmetic. The event shop rotates, so buying them early doesn’t even save you anything.
- Doing the trials out of order. The Heart boss won’t spawn without the Scale token, and every failed rift entry burns a daily attempt.
- Handing in the tribute partially. Partial hand-ins don’t persist through a reset.
- Building for crit rate above 60%. It’s a threshold. Past the cap, those stat points are doing nothing.
- Triggering the Weighing cutscene in a PvP-flagged channel. Twenty seconds of locked inputs is a free kill for anyone nearby.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to unlock Anubis?
Budget three to five hours of focused play for the full chain — rift clear, three trials, and the tribute turn-in. If you already have 12 Canopic Seals banked from earlier rift runs, it collapses to roughly 90 minutes, since the trials themselves are short and the farming is the real time sink.
Can you unlock Anubis solo?
Yes, all three Jackal Trials are soloable at the recommended gear level, though the Scale trial’s boss is noticeably harder alone because its adds don’t despawn when you’re the only target. Solo players should build debuff-bruiser first for the survivability, then respec into burst once they have a team.
Is Anubis worth unlocking in 2026?
For boss content and coordinated arena play, yes — the Judgement execute is one of the few abilities that scales with team damage rather than replacing it. For solo players who want a self-sufficient farmer, it’s a middling choice, and you’ll get more value out of a unit with built-in sustain.
What’s the best weapon for Anubis?
A Khopesh-class weapon with a crit-rate roll on the primary stat. The +12% crit is what gets most builds within reach of the 60% threshold without sacrificing a relic slot. Attack-focused weapons with no crit roll will leave you stuck at 43–47% crit, which is functionally the same as having no execute at all.
Does Anubis work in PvP?
It works, but it’s a hybrid build rather than a dedicated one. Most arena players run around 55% crit plus a mobility relic, which means Judgement fires only against already-damaged targets. Treat the execute as a finisher in team fights, not as your primary win condition.
What should I farm right after unlocking Anubis?
Go straight for Jackal Sigils to complete the 4-piece set bonus — that’s the single largest crit-rate jump available and it unlocks the burst build immediately. Duat Shards for Awakening tiers 2 and 3 come free from daily chests, so don’t grind them deliberately; spend that time on Sigils instead.
