Using a combination of Troubadour, hieroglyph, the Needle Boss Blind, and the Golden Needle Challenge, I was able to get three hands instead of the usual one.
I am aware that others have reported two hands at once, but I have seen no (recent) reports of three.
Screenshot showing the moment after I entered the Boss Blind.
I am assuming this is a bug, but if it is a feature I am sorry for the inconvenience.
