How to find
The player must have spoken to the "Huntmaster" in Phon Coast and defeated Thalassinon to start the Hunt Club quest. Ancbolder can then be found alongside Anchag after defeating all enemies in the Karydine Glacier area (this includes the non-aggressive Wild Onions and the hidden undead).

Etymology
The ankh is an ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol that was most commonly used in writing and in Egyptian art to represent the word for "life" and, by extension, as a symbol of life itself. Curiously, the name is close to Angrboda or Angrboða (Old Norse: [ˈɑŋɡz̠ˌboðɑ]; da), which is a jötunn in Norse mythology.
