Kol: Difference between revisions

'''Kol''' is a village in northeastern [[Alefgard]]. It sits in the middle of a large forest with a tall mountain chain to the north, and the buildings are made of timber rather than stone.

It is visited in {{DQ}}, {{Dragon Quest III}} and {{DQB}}.

==Appearances==

==={{DQ}}===

Kol is typically the third town the player visits. It is a quiet forest village with a large hot spring for bathing, and it does not contain any essential items for completing the game. The [[Faerie Flute|faerie flute]] is hidden four steps south of the bath and is useful for defeating the [[Golem]] outside [[Cantlin]], especially so in the remade versions of the game.

====Puff-Puff====

In all versions of the game, the {{Hero 1}} can receive a [[Puff-Puff]] from one of the ladies near the bath for 20 {{Gold}}. All references to the hero's indulgence and the woman's sultry behavior were removed from the original {{NES}} version as they were seen as too risque for a Western audience, but this censorship was revoked for the [[Cell phone]] version.

*The {{Famicom}} version of the scene is different from how the act would be portrayed in later games, with the screen fading to black instead of the usual onomatopoeia playing. It also costs 50 {{Gold}} instead of just 20.

==={{DQ3HD}}===

Kol remains mostly unchanged in the shift to HD, such as the [[Faerie Flute|faerie flute]] being in the same location, though the village is now set on a hill within the forest instead of flat ground. Due to the removal of [[Treasures 'n' Trapdoors]] boards the well is now home to a [[List of recruitable monsters in Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake|friendly silhouette]].

 

The Jipangese swordsmith has been fleshed out into a proper character in this version of the game, and the process to obtain the Sword of Kings has been embellished. The swordsmith's wife states that he left behind his family's [[Forging hammer|heirloom smithing hammer]] when the two fled from Jipang, with the smith himself lamenting that he has been unable to perform his trade ever since and has been forced to scrape by as a merchant. When the player presents him with the forging hammer the swordsmith is beyond elation and swears that he will find a way to return the favor; in the mean time the quality of the items he sells have increased considerably now that he can smith again.

Upon obtaining the [[Broken Blade]] from the researcher in Cantlin and speaking to the swordsmith again he will recognize it despite the ruined condition, wondering how such an incredible weapon could be shattered. If the player has already obtained the orichalcum from Damdara then he will begin reforging the sword immediately, stating it would be an honor to work with such fine materials and as to pay the Hero back for freeing Jipang from Orochi. The sword is handed over freely once it is completed, with the smith refusing payment.

==={{DQB}}===

In this game, Kol (along with [[Galenholm]]) consists of different areas that can be reached by using teleportals: the Ruins, the Island of Lava, and the Island of Ice. The boss at the end of Chapter 3 is a [[Magmalice]] and a [[Firn fiend]]. The articles for each area within the region are:

*[[Bleak and Burning Badlands]]

*[[Galenholm]]

*[[Island of Ice]]

*[[Galenholm Ruins]]

==={{DQTact}}===

The [[Hero (Dragon Quest Tact)|Master]] and [[Majellan]] pay a visit to the town in Chapter 2, Episode 1 of the game's limited ''Dragon Quest I'' event. Majellan wants to relax in the town's hot springs before he remembering they're trying to locate the missing [[Mindini]], much to his dismay. In the town, they encounter a fortune-telling old man who points them in the direction of the [[Quagmire Cave]].
