Borghertz's Striking Hands

Walkthrough

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

The Hands

 * Head to Crawlers' Nest and open a coffer here, so either:
 * Obtain a Nest 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 Crawlers' Nest and obtain the Old Gauntlets (key item).
 * Head back to Upper Jeuno and talk to Guslam again, who will send you to the Tenshodo.
 * Go to Lower Jeuno and go into the Tenshodo to talk to Yin Pocanakhu at J-8. Pay her 1,000 gil to get her information.
 * Head to Port Jeuno and 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 recieve the Shadow Flames (key item).
 * If there are others in the party that 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 the ??? where the toolbox is for a cutscene and to complete 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:
 * Garlaige Citadel: Temple Crown
 * Beadeaux: Temple Cyclas


 * You can either farm for the appropriate keys to open the coffers, or use a lock-pick of some sort.
 * Notes:
 * You need to at least have at least started the AF1 quest to get this quest.
 * If you have any other Borghertz's Hands quests active you will need to comlete 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.
