How to Get Anubis - Sakura Stand
Last updated: June 2026
Anubis is a stand obtained exclusively through the Hika quest chain — not Stand Arrow RNG. The route begins with buying a Stop Sign for $750 at Auddy's shop, progresses through Hika's training drills, and culminates in wielding the Haunted Sword before Anubis unlocks. This guide focuses on reaching Anubis itself; the extended True Anubis path lives in the complete Hika quest guide.
Funding and Buying Stop Sign
Budget $750 for Stop Sign before talking to Hika. Farm the ten-node box circuit and bank cash at Auddy north of the battlefield — same vendor listed on the shop page. Stop Sign grants the Stop Sign spec, which Hika uses to teach blocking, damage thresholds, and sword fundamentals you will reuse for Anubis parry checks later.
New players should finish starting progression and hold a combat-ready stand for PvP segments before investing $750. Anubis hunters compete in 1v1s mid-quest; arrive with block and parry from combat basics.
Finding Hika and Starting Training
Locate Hika on the map via the NPC guide and official Trello quest card. Dialog order matters — accept training steps sequentially. Early lessons test raw damage output against targets Hika spawns. Under-damage fails the step; over-gearing with unrelated stands can trivialize checks but won't skip mandatory dialog.
Stop Sign spec abilities count toward early requirements. If you Rokakaka away from Stop Sign prematurely, you may fail re-entry checks — keep the spec until Anubis unlocks unless Trello documents a workaround after patches.
Earning the Haunted Sword
Mid-chain, Hika assigns tasks that reward the Haunted Sword quest item. The sword bridges Stop Sign training and the Anubis stand form. Track it in inventory alongside other quest items — do not sell or trade it. Haunted Sword steps often overlap parry and block tutorials that the PvP protection guide explains in PvP context; here Hika validates them against NPC or player targets depending on the step.
If a step asks for consecutive parries or damage within a timer, practice in low-traffic zones before retrying. Failed attempts usually reset the objective without consuming the sword.
Unlocking Anubis Stand
After Haunted Sword requirements and Hika's final Anubis trial, you receive the Anubis stand — a melee sword stand with unique passive and active abilities documented on Trello. You are not yet True Anubis; that evolution demands additional damage totals, block streaks, parry counts, and 1v1 wins detailed in the full Hika walkthrough.
Compare Anubis to arrow stands on the stands tier list. Many players pursue Anubis for style and duel mastery rather than raw battlefield boss DPS — pair it with token farming only after you comfortable win 1v1s.
Common Mistakes
- Starting Hika without $750 Stop Sign saved.
- Rokakaka resetting Stop Sign mid-chain.
- Selling Haunted Sword or quest drops mistaken for junk.
- Skipping parry practice and failing repeated 1v1 gates.
- Confusing base Anubis completion with True Anubis endgame.
When Anubis unlocks, decide whether to push True Anubis immediately or pause for mastery grinding. True Anubis rewards the dedicated; base Anubis alone already marks you as a completed sword quest player in most servers.
