Grow a Garden: Anubis Part 2 Is Live — Ancient Trials, 7 New Plants and a 5% Golden Chest Pet

By Sara Khan · News Writer · 15 November 2026

Grow a Garden's Anubis Part 2 is live. The update arrived on Saturday 14 November 2026 at 21:30 UTC — exactly 30 minutes after Part 1 of the Anubis Event ended — taking the game to build v468. The mystery is over: the listing that read “NEXT UPDATE” with “???” as its subtitle turned out to be a full second chapter, not a small patch. The headline is the Ancient Trials, a co-op obstacle course, joined by seven new plants, three new pets, nine crafting recipes, two new rows in the Anubis Coin shop, a new Anubis fence, a set of mini achievements and a reworked settings screen. Yesterday's rumour is now a patch note — the wiki listing we flagged as unconfirmed matched the live update almost exactly, right down to the pet and seed names.

How the Ancient Trials work

The Ancient Trials are the centre of Part 2, and they run on a rhythm players need to learn. A Pharaoh stands in front of a sealed temple, asking for fruit with a specific plant trait — one of ten, from Berry and Fruit to Woody and Tropical — and the request changes every hour. Hand over fruit carrying that trait to fill a shared progress bar, alone or with everyone else on your server, and rarer and more mutated fruit counts for more. Once the bar is full the entrance opens, but only players who contributed can walk in, and the Golden Chest at the end will not open for anyone who did not help. Whoever offers the most gets a bonus reward on top. Inside is one of three obstacle courses — the Sandstone Trial, the Sunken Trial or the Pharaoh's Trial — with extra rewards scattered along the path, and the whole thing stays open for about 20 minutes before it closes and resets. One practical catch: favourited plants cannot be offered, so unfavourite anything you mean to hand in before you walk up to the Pharaoh.

The seven plants and three pets

All seven new plants are marked event exclusive and every one of them gives more than one harvest. Five come out of the Anubis Seed Pack: Nile Lotus (Uncommon, 12 minutes), Thistleberry (Rare, about 20 minutes), Desert Sesame (Legendary, 1 hour 20 minutes), Regal Crown (Divine, about 8 hours) and Sunstone Sapling (Prismatic, 13 hours). The other two sit in the Golden Chest at the end of the trials, where Horus Flower is a 20% drop and Azure Frond is just 3%. The three pets split the same way. Akhekh, the Mythical pet, is a 5% drop from the Golden Chest. The other two are crafted at the new Anubis Crafting Bench, which sits at the end of the trials: Apis, a Rare pet, costs 100 Anubis Coins and its recipe only appears after two trial completions, while Nekhbet, a Legendary pet, costs 350 coins and needs five. The bench holds nine recipes in total, and more unlock as you finish more trials — the Anubis Egg recipe, at 75 coins, is the cheapest route to an Anubis Egg that does not depend on a shop restock, and the Areaclaimer, the last recipe to unlock, needs both the Hieroglyphic Radar and the Hieroglyphic Staff first.

What to do first — and the 21 November deadline

Three things are worth doing before anything else. First, get into a trial run early: the crafting recipes are gated behind completions, so the players who finish two trials this weekend unlock Apis first, and the five-trial Nekhbet recipe is a longer grind. Second, keep earning Anubis Coins — the shop gained two new rows, the Anubis Seed Pack for 200 coins and the Egyptian Brazier decoration for 1,000 coins, and the crafting bench takes coins too, so the currency is suddenly doing double duty. Third, mind the clock on the two new Robux packs. The Exotic Anubis Seed Pack and the Premium Anubis Egg both leave the Limited Time Shop on 21 November 2026 at 21:30 UTC, exactly a week after Part 2 arrived, and the Premium Egg's selling point is speed — it hatches in 30 seconds instead of the four hours a normal Anubis Egg takes. The event's notify panel has already rolled forward to the next update on 22 November, so Part 2 is a one-week window. Check our Grow a Garden codes page for the latest verified codes while you play, and do not spend coins on the new shop rows until you have done at least one trial — the bench recipes are cheaper than the shop for the same items.

Official Grow a Garden patch notes for the Anubis Part 2 update, as reported by Sportskeeda (15 November 2026) and All Things How (15 November 2026); both confirm the 14 November 21:30 UTC launch, the Ancient Trials, seven plants, three pets and nine crafting recipes.
