Anubis II is the return of the original Egyptian god of death, resurrected with the power of an Ankh. He appears shortly after Osiris does when the player meets them in the Duat.

Behavior

A few seconds after Osiris spawns in the Duat, Anubis II will spawn.

As Anubis II has had his Scepter stolen by the player in Temple of Anubis in his first life, he will instead point to the air, summoning coffins containing either a Sorceress, Witch Doctor, Vampire, or Necromancer. These coffins will be spawned over the player's position where the Udjat Eye flashes on the screen, but will not adjust its targeting if the player gets out of the way of the coffin.

Killing Anubis II will cause him to drop a Jetpack.

Strategy

• Throwing a singular bomb at Anubis II will kill him instantly, making him trivial to defeat if the player has Bomb Paste.
• Although getting hit by Anubis II or his coffins only deals 1 damage, being hit by his coffin in the Duat fight at the top of the level will stun the player, likely either stun locking them with Anubis II repeatedly summoning coffins on them, or leading to their imminent death via some other threat, such as being cursed by a Witch Doctor spawned from a coffin.
• It is highly recommended to kill Anubis II as the Jetpack he drops could make or break a player's run.
  • Players may want to only throw one bomb at a time when attempting to do this, as the Jetpack may easily explode if more than one bomb is thrown at Anubis II.
• If the player does not have the equipment to kill him or does not wish to obtain the Jetpack, Anubis II can be easily killed without items by luring him down into Apep's path. Apep will kill Anubis II instantly on contact, however the Jetpack will be destroyed as well. Anubis requires a 2x2 space to move through however.
• Players wishing to obtain a cape instead may attempt allow Anubis II to spawn coffins in the hopes of releasing a Vampire before killing him. This is an extremely risky strategy however as even a single Sorceress, Witch Doctor, or Necromancer can quickly descend the arena into chaos.

Trivia

• Prior to version 1.20.2a, Anubis II did not drop a Jetpack. This feature was added after many players felt that the Duat was not worth visiting due to many different factors, such as how entering the world would relieve the player of their current back item, consume their Ankh, and reset their HP back to 4.

Anubis II is the second incarnation of Anubis. He appears in the City of Gold when the Book of the Dead is picked up to punish the Spelunker for desecration.

Behavior

Once summoned, Anubis II says the lines "Death to the defiler!", and moves similarly to how he originally did, levitating in the air and casting his attacks as he attempts to stay out of the Spelunker's reach.

Now without his Scepter, Anubis II uses his knowledge of the Book of the Dead and will now attack by summoning endless hordes of Red Skeletons, three at a time on every flat surface in range. He will continue to create these skeletons every few seconds, and never runs out of minions.

Red Skeletons behave no differently than ordinary Skeletons. They deal one point of contact damage and will walk off ledges. They do, however, have a limited lifespan (similar to Magma Men) and will crumble away after a short time spent roaming around. This rarely makes a difference if Anubis II is still around, as he will simply summon more to replace them.

Anubis II is capable of having over twenty skeletons active at a time if none are destroyed.

In his second form, the spectral Anubis II also gains the ability to pass freely through solid blocks, just like the Ghost. Furthermore, he will even follow the Spelunker through the level exits, appearing right at the start of the next level. As a result, Anubis II cannot be escaped from until he is killed for good.

If the player doesn't defeat him in the City of Gold, they will have to battle both him and Olmec at the same time, alongside all of his Skeletons and the random Monsters Olmec spawns as well. If he continues to survive, he can pursue you all the way to Yama's Throne.

Bugs

• If the Freeze Ray is used on Anubis II, the now imprisoned god will fall through the level. Upon entering the next level, Anubis II will still be alive and summon red skeletons.
