}}

== Walkthrough ==
*Complete the [[Father and Son]] quest and make sure to give the [[Willow Fishing Rod]] back to the son.
*Talk to [[Ailbeche]] again who will ask you for an {{KeyItem}}[[Ordelle Whetstone]].
*Talk to [[Sobane]] in {{Location|Southern San d'Oria|D-6}}. Be sure to talk to her twice if you get a cutscene the first time. The cutscene is the beginning of either the quest [[Signed in Blood]] or [[Tea with a Tonberry?]] and not part of this quest.
'''From this point on, the quest can be completed on any job.'''
*Head to [[Ordelle's Caves]], entering from the western most entrance of {{location|La Theine Plateau|F-7}}.
*From the first map of [[Ordelle's Caves]], head east to the ramp at {{location|Ordelle's Caves| Map= map1|I-6}}. This puts you on the second map. Head southwest to the room at {{location|Ordelle's Caves| Map= map2|G-8}} , then take a left. Next, head south up the ramp at {{location|Ordelle's Caves| Map= map2|H-9}}. This puts you back on the first map. The Stalagmite is next to the hole in the first small room.
*Select the Stalagmite to spawn and defeat the NM [[Polevik]], an [[Earth Elemental]].
**Can be defeated on any job, as long as quest is active.
**Should be level 65+ to solo the fight.
**If completing with multiple Paladins, NM only needs to be defeated once and all Paladins can loot the KI.
*Touch the Stalagmite again to receive the {{KeyItem}}[[Ordelle Whetstone]].
*Talk to [[Ailbeche]] to complete the quest.

Testimonial (01/14/24): Duoed by 40 RDM and 43 PLD. We were never in danger of dying, but it took us a while to kill it. [[Polevik]] can Cure III itself. Silence landed fairly easily even throughout the long fight.

Testimonial (06/22/25): Solo'd as 56 BLM/NIN. Very easy, took 5 minutes. Capped elemental magic and mediocre gear. Buff > Spawn > Sleep 2 > Wait for Sleep recast > Tornado > Sleep 2 > Rest > Repeat from Tornado step.

| Requirements = [[Level]] 5
| Type = scroll
| Description = There are reports that the Cat Burglar has been loitering around the Ghosty House in Windurst Walls. This looks like a job for the Star Onion Brigade! Gather four wild onions so Kohlo-Lakolo and his gang can create the perfect trap!
| Additional Requirements = [[Level]] 5+

| Repeatable = No
| Rewards = Scroll of [[Blaze Spikes]]
| Previous = [[Truth, Justice, and the Onion Way!]]
| Next = [[Inspector's Gadget!]]

}}
==Walkthrough==
*Speak with [[Kohlo-Lakolo]] at {{Location|Port Windurst|G-5}}.
*Trade [[Kohlo-Lakolo]] four [[Wild Onion]]s for a cutscene.
**You will receive the Scroll of [[Blaze Spikes]].
''Note: The quest completes from your Quest Log after this cutscene. The next step is seemingly optional, though zoning to another area is required before starting the next quest.''
*Examine the door to the House of the Hero in {{Location|Windurst Walls|G-3}}.
**Some people have reported being able to skip this step depending on the amount of time elapsed when starting the next quest.
**This timer seems to be related on when you come into posession of the [[Old Ring]] during Mission 3-1.
**If you have a [[Carbuncle's Ruby]] in one of your many storage areas AND have not yet started the [[Summoner]] job quest, you may get the opening cutscene for [[I Can Hear a Rainbow]]. Check the quest log to see if "Know One's Onions" is marked as completed.
