Grow a Garden Ancient Archeology is the 20-stage excavation activity introduced with the Anubis update on 7 November 2026. Archeologist Archie asks you to hand over fruit matching a changing plant trait, and you progress by the total weight donated rather than the number of crops.
The rewards include Anubis Eggs, Hieroglyphic gear, Anubis Crates and three different seed prizes. Every completed excavation also counts towards unlocking Trader Tina’s Anubis Coin Shop items, so the dig is worth doing even if you don’t want every reward.
Where to start Grow a Garden Ancient Archeology
Use the SELL button at the top of the screen to reach the market. Walk west into the Anubis event’s sandy area, past Trader Tina’s purple-and-yellow stall. Archeologist Archie stands by the excavation site and its reward board.
Look at Archie’s thought bubble first. He might say he is looking for Root plants, for example. Then inspect the Next Reward board for the weight needed. The opening task asks for 8 kg and awards an Anubis Crate. Do not confuse this with the expired Halloween Grave Digging activity: Grow a Garden Ancient Archeology uses a new NPC, new weight targets and new rewards.
How plant traits and weight work in Grow a Garden Ancient Archeology
Archie wants a trait category, not a particular plant by name and not a mutation such as Hieroglyphic. A crop only counts if it has the trait displayed in his current request. Each submitted harvest adds its weight towards the current find, so one large crop can help more than several tiny ones.
Archie can request any of these 12 traits in Grow a Garden Ancient Archeology: Berry, Fruit, Flower, Vegetable, Tropical, Prickly, Woody, Leafy, Stalky, Root, Sweet and Sour. Check the crop’s plant information before harvesting if you are unsure of its categories.
Archie changes his requested trait every 30 minutes. The current rotation changes on the hour and at half past. Watch the visible countdown before committing a valuable harvest. A batch that matched the previous request may no longer suit the new one.
- Read the trait in Archie’s thought bubble.
- Harvest fruit belonging to that trait category.
- Talk to Archie and submit the qualifying harvest.
- Check the kilograms on the reward board.
- Repeat until the current find is complete, then collect the prize and move to the next stage.
In Grow a Garden Ancient Archeology, Archie’s Take this plant option submits the fruit you’re holding. Submit All hands over every eligible fruit you carry, so check your inventory first. When he requests Root, cheap Carrots qualify, although you’ll need a lot of light fruit to meet a heavier weight target.
You can complete the track normally. The Skip Submission Robux option is optional and isn’t needed to finish the digs.
All 20 Grow a Garden Ancient Archeology rewards
The Grow a Garden Ancient Archeology table below shows the weight target and reward for each find. These are stage requirements, not the running total. Later finds are considerably heavier, so save a range of suitable crops for when Archie’s request matches their traits.
| Find | Required weight | Reward |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 8 kg | 1 Anubis Crate |
| 2 | 12 kg | 1 Hieroglyphic Radar |
| 3 | 18 kg | 1 Hieroglyphic Staff |
| 4 | 25 kg | 2 Ankh Flower seeds |
| 5 | 35 kg | 1 Anubis Egg |
| 6 | 45 kg | 1 Anubis Crate |
| 7 | 60 kg | 1 Hieroglyphic Radar |
| 8 | 75 kg | 1 Anubis Egg |
| 9 | 95 kg | 2 Hieroglyphic Staff |
| 10 | 130 kg | 1 Tomb Lily seed |
| 11 | 140 kg | 1 Anubis Crate |
| 12 | 170 kg | 1 Anubis Egg |
| 13 | 200 kg | 2 Hieroglyphic Radar |
| 14 | 240 kg | 3 Ankh Flower seeds |
| 15 | 285 kg | 1 Hieroglyphic Staff |

| 19 | 520 kg | 2 Anubis Eggs |
| 20 | 750 kg | 1 Prosperity Palm seed |
Completing all 20 Grow a Garden Ancient Archeology finds requires 4,003 kg in total across the track. That isn’t one giant delivery: it’s the sum of the separate targets above. Any extra weight from a submission beyond the current target carries over towards the next find. If you only care about the first Anubis Egg, aim for find five, which requires 35 kg on its own.
How many free Anubis Eggs can you get?
One complete run awards five Anubis Eggs: one each at finds 5, 8 and 12, plus two at find 19. You can earn the first egg at find five, before unlocking the egg purchase in Tina’s shop at find six.
This makes Grow a Garden Ancient Archeology particularly useful for pet collectors who do not want to save 3,000 Anubis Coins for every egg. The eggs still take time to hatch, and their pets have different odds. The Anubis Egg pet guide lists all four hatchable pets and their percentages.
Which excavations unlock the Anubis Coin Shop?
Every finished find raises your excavation count. This is separate from the physical reward you collect from Archie, so you can spend earned Anubis Coins at Tina’s stall once the next item unlocks.
- 2 digs (20 kg cumulative): Hieroglyphic Radar and Anubis Crate unlocked.
- 4 digs (63 kg): Papyrus, Hieroglyphic Staff and Quicksand Mummy unlocked.
- 6 digs (143 kg): Anubis Egg and Obsidian Obelisk unlocked.
- 10 digs (503 kg): Pharaoh’s Eye Seed unlocked.
- 15 digs (1,538 kg): Hiero Scorpion unlocked.
Unlocking isn’t the same as buying. Tina still charges Anubis Coins, and some items may be temporarily out of stock before the hourly restock. Check our complete Anubis Coin Shop price table before deciding which reward to save for.
Can you restart Grow a Garden Ancient Archeology?
After the twentieth find, Archie offers a repeat run for Sheckles. Check the price displayed in your own game before confirming; the dig restart is separate from the ordinary coin-shop restock. If you are not planning another complete run, there is no reason to spend Sheckles just to view the option.
To make progress in Grow a Garden Ancient Archeology, keep a range of plants ready, watch for the trait change every half hour and focus on total weight rather than fruit count. Work on Anubis Coins between dig requests so you make progress on both halves of the event without paying to skip stages.
