Walkthrough

From this point on, the quest can be completed on any job.

  • Head to Ordelle's Caves, entering from the western most entrance of La Theine Plateau (F-7).
  • From the first map of Ordelle's Caves, head east to the ramp at Ordelle's Caves (I-6). This puts you on the second map. Head southwest to the room at (G-8), then take a left. Next, head south up the ramp at (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 Key ItemOrdelle 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.
