How to Complete Hika Quest - Sakura Stand

The Hika questline is Sakura Stand's longest sword progression — from Stop Sign training through Haunted Sword, base Anubis, and final True Anubis Wielder of Death. Completing it demands stacked skill checks: damage thresholds, consecutive blocks, timed parries, and 1v1 victories. This guide presents the full chain in order. For a shorter path to base Anubis only, see how to get Anubis.

Phase One: Stop Sign and Hika Introduction

Save $750 and buy Stop Sign at Auddy's shop north of the battlefield. Stop Sign grants the spec Hika uses for opening lessons. Locate Hika via the NPC map and accept training dialog in sequence — skipping lines soft-locks until relog.

Early steps teach movement and basic attacks under Stop Sign. Do not Rokakaka away from Stop Sign until the chain allows stand swaps — resetting spec mid-quest fails re-entry checks. Fund the purchase with box farming if you are coming straight from the beginner guide.

Phase Two: Damage Requirements

Hika spawns training targets requiring minimum damage output within timers. Failures reset the objective without consuming Stop Sign. Upgrade temporary stats through levels or mastery if damage checks stall — mastery tiers help but are not mandatory for early Anubis steps.

Document each damage gate on paper or notes app. Later True Anubis gates assume you already passed easier thresholds — muscle memory from early phases speeds retries.

Phase Three: Haunted Sword and Base Anubis

Mid-chain rewards the Haunted Sword quest item from quest drops. Haunted Sword bridges Stop Sign drills and the Anubis stand unlock. Guard it from accidental sells or trades.

Completing Haunted Sword trials grants base Anubis — a sword stand with unique passives on Trello. You are mid-quest, not finished. True Anubis still requires block, parry, and PvP gates ahead.

Phase Four: Block and Parry Streaks

Hika assigns consecutive block counts — hold guard through multiple incoming hits without breaking. Separate steps demand parry windows — timed counters that stagger attackers. Learn both from combat basics and practice in low-traffic zones before Hika retries.

Blocks and parries differ mechanically. Mixing them fails streak objectives. NPC drills sometimes precede player-target steps — read quest text carefully for which input Hika validates.

Phase Five: 1v1 Victory Requirements

Late Hika steps require 1v1 wins in hub or ranked areas. Wins must be clean victories — participation alone does not count. Read PvP protection for block, parry, and Bari Bari defensive tools. Equip stands suited for duels from the stands tier list.

Track win count in quest log versus personal notes. Losing streaks mean pause and curse PvE farming from the curse guide until tilt clears — Hika does not pity-fail your account, but frustration causes real losses.

Phase Six: True Anubis Wielder of Death

Final turn-ins combine prior skills — damage bursts, block streaks, parry counts, and proven duel wins — into the True Anubis evolution. Title flavor text references Wielder of Death on Trello cards. Screen-cap unlock for trade flex on the trade values page.

True Anubis is endgame sword identity. Pair it with token farming and PvP builds tuned for duelists rather than Jotaro burst — though boss tags remain viable with mastery investment.
