== Walkthrough ==
Travel to the Durable Shields shop and speak with [[Guslam]] located at (H-8) in [[Upper Jeuno]] on [[Red Mage]] to begin the quest.
*Go to [[The Eldieme Necropolis]] and find a [[Treasure Coffer]].
** [[Churano-Shurano]] [[Windurst Waters]] (F-8), you can purchase a Permanent Key Item: [[Magicked astrolabe]] for 10,000 Gil. This allows you to open doors in [[The Eldieme Necropolis]] solo.
*Either obtain a [[Eldieme Coffer Key]] or pick the lock as a [[Thief]]. (Key is sold for 5,000 gil from the [[Curio Vendor Moogle]] and [["Rhapsody in Umber"]])
:*You do not need to be on Red Mage when opening the coffer.
*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 Artifact gear set (AF) you must do the following, otherwise skip these steps:
:*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.
*Go to [[Port Jeuno]] and head down 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]] [[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:

*[[Garlaige Citadel]] - {{ItemIcon|Warlock's Tights|}} {{tooltip|text=[[Warlock's Tights]]|tooltip=[[File:Warlock's Tights description.png]]}}
*[[Castle Oztroja]] - {{ItemIcon|Warlock's Tabard|}} {{tooltip|text=[[Warlock's Tabard]]|tooltip=[[File:Warlock's Tabard description.png]]}}
**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.
***'''Note (2026)''': This may no longer be accurate. I was able to open the coffers (on RDM) and receive the Warlock's Tights and Tabard without starting the Borghertz's Hands quest.
**You '''must''' have [[Red Mage]] as your main job when you open these coffers.
