If you have any other Borghertz's Hands quest active, you must complete that one before you can start this quest!

Note: You do NOT need to be on Summoner when OPENING the coffer, only when accepting the quest. A Grotto Coffer Key and a Mythril Beastcoin (if you don't have access to Proto-Waypoints) are required for this quest.

Coffer chests can spawn at (H-7), (I-9), (H-8), (G-6), (F-6), (G-10), (F-9), (D-9) and (E-11) behind the Mythril Door in Map 3.

Walkthrough

Sea Serpent Grotto Composite Map

  • Speak to any Unity NPC and use the Unity Warp (Level 125) to reach Sea Serpent Grotto, Map 4 (L-5). This teleport will save you some time. You'll be teleported in front of the Gold Door (blank target). Open it and proceed north. Follow the left wall and you'll find the Mythril Door (again, blank target), keep examining it until you see a message about 'mythril dust' and trade a Mythril Beastcoin to open it.
OR
  • You can use the Proto-Waypoint to teleport to (J-5) in Map 3 behind the Mythril Door.
  • Find and open a Coffer in one of the locations mentioned above. You will receive a key item Key Item Old gauntlets from the coffer.
  • Return to Upper Jeuno and speak to Guslam. He will inform you he is unable to repair the gauntlets.
  • If this is your first AF you must do the following, otherwise skip these steps:
  • Go to Port Jeuno and head to the crates near the AH and Jeuno Duty-Free Shop at (H-8).
  • Click on the ??? to receive a cutscene.
  • Travel to Castle Zvahl Baileys and go to (F-8) on the first map.
  • Click on one of the torches to spawn Dark Spark.
  • Once Dark Spark is defeated, examine one of the torches for the key item Key Item Shadow flames.
  • Return to Port Jeuno and examine the ??? again. After the cutscene, the quest is complete.

Two Additional Coffers

Guslam mentions that there is still armor scattered about Vana'diel. You can find two more pieces of armor by opening coffers in the following zones with the corresponding coffer key:
