“Las tres guaridas de la liebre astuta” starts when you free Quick Hand Zhang from his cage, next to the Trail of Cages bell in the Crimson Forest. It is completed by finding him at his hideouts in each region while you do his relic requests. Vandal (Spanish guide) lists the Maintenance Oil as the reward, which tempers Goldblaze. The only missable part is the start: free Zhang before you move on from that bell.
