Walkthrough

• Travel to "Durable Shields" in Upper Jeuno and speak with Guslam located at (H-8) to begin the quest.
• Go to Ifrit's Cauldron

• Unity Warp (Level 122) → Yhoator Jungle → hug the right wall. It's a short ride.
• Alternatively, you may use the Elshimo Uplands Outpost Warp or Survival Guide.

• Either obtain a Cauldron Coffer Key and use it to open one of the chests found in the area, or pick the lock as a Thief.

• You do not need to be on Ninja when opening the coffer.
• You may purchase a Cauldron Coffer Key from any Nation's Curio Vendor Moogle.

• You will receive a Old gauntlets from the coffer.
• Return to Upper Jeuno and speak to Guslam. He will inform you he is unable to repair the gauntlets.
• Speak to Deadly Minnow inside of the Durable Shields shop.
• Head to Lower Jeuno inside the Tenshodo area. Speak with Yin Pocanakhu at (J-8) and then trade 1,000 gil to continue.

• If you have completed the AF hands quest on another job, you do not need to view this cutscene or pay gil.

• 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.

• Easiest way here is Survival Guide Teleport.
• Otherwise, you'll have to walk it from the Castle Zvahl Keep Home Point.

• Click on one of the torches to spawn Dark Spark.
• Once Dark Spark is defeated, examine the same torch you used to spawn it. You will receive the Shadow flames.

• Note: If you forget to click the Torch after killing the Dark Spark, you can come back and click the same one and still receive your 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:

• Sea Serpent Grotto - Ninja Kyahan
  • This area requires you to pass the Mythril Door and obtain a Grotto Coffer Key, which can be obtained from various enemies in the area past the Mythril door.
  • Interact with the door multiple times until it mentions "You find something that looks like mythril dust scattered about the indentation.", and then you will be able to trade a Mythril Beastcoin to it to get access to Map 3.
  • All of the Treasure Coffers are in this part of the zone.
• The Boyahda Tree - Ninja Hatsuburi
  • This item requires you to obtain a Byd. Coffer Key from the various enemies that inhabit the zone.
  • These coffers are not required to complete the quest, therefore after you receive your hands the quest is "completed".
  • The quest must either be active or completed in order to receive these attire pieces.
  • You must have Ninja as your main job when you open these coffers.
