Anachronox Hints
Find some missing armor.
1 of 6: After you're done fighting the Dark Servants, go to the armorer in the City of Sesostris -- he's fairly close to the entrance to the Cliff of Casting.
2 of 6: He says that one of the soldiers ran off with a piece of his armor, and he wants you to get it back. There's a very nice reward for solving this quest.
3 of 6: The soldier isn't in the city.
4 of 6: Go back out to the Sagentane Crevice and look there.
5 of 6: There's a narrow side path off from the main path. Take that and look for the soldier there.
6 of 6: Once you find him, all you have to do is talk to him, and he'll give up the armor. You can return it to the armorer for a Vigil Shieldcell, which has one the highest throughputs of any of the shields available to you in this game.
