Walkthrough

• Speak to Guslam at H-8 in Upper Jeuno in the Durable Shields shop and accept the quest.

The Hands

• You'll need to head to The Eldieme Necropolis and open a coffer there, so either:

• Obtain a Eldieme Coffer Key; or
• Come as a Thief and bring along tools to pick the lock (see Picking your Coffers and Chests).

• Open a coffer in The Eldieme Necropolis and obtain the Old Gauntlets (key item).
• If you are reacquiring AF or getting AF for another job, skip this portion and proceed to the next step. If this is your first job, do the following:

• Head back to Upper Jeuno and talk to Guslam again, who will tell you he lacks the skill to repair them.
• Deadly Minnow, behind the counter in the same shop as Guslam, will tell you to find a Mithra at the Tenshodo for more information.
• Go to Lower Jeuno and go into the Tenshodo to talk to Yin Pocanakhu at J-8. Pay her 1,000 gil to hear her story.

• Head to Port Jeuno, go downstairs into the Auction House area, and find a ??? on some crates outside the Jeuno Duty-Free Shop (H-8).
• Click on the ??? for a cutscene and ask to have the gloves repaired.
• Go to F-8 in Castle Zvahl Baileys and touch one of the torches to spawn Dark Spark.
• Kill Dark Spark.
• Touch the torch again (make sure you touch the same torch you used to spawn him) to receive the Shadow Flames (key item).

• If other players in the party also need this key item, they can touch the torch as well - you don't have to fight him for each person.

• Head back to Port Jeuno and click on the ??? at the toolbox for a cutscene. This completes the quest.

The Rest

• Guslam mentions something about armor scattered about Vana'diel. You can find two more pieces of armor by simply opening coffers in the following zones:

• Castle Oztroja: Chaos Cuirass
• Monastic Cavern: Chaos Flanchard

• You must have DRK as your main job when you open these coffers. If you have another Borghertz's Hands quest active you may also obtain Chaos Cuirass and Chaos Flanchard if you have completed DRK AF2 and your main job is DRK at the time you open the coffer.

Notes

• You must have started Dark Puppet (AF2) before you can start this quest.
• If you have any other Borghertz's Hands quest active, you will need to complete that one before you can get this quest.
• After starting the quest, you can obtain the rewards in any order.
• The quest is marked complete upon obtaining the gloves.
