Roto's Monument
Revision as of 14:14, 12 February 2010 by FlyingRagnar (talk | contribs) (moved Roto's Tablet to Roto's Tomb: Tomb is more correct as it is not an item in the remakes, but rather a tomb.)
Erdrick's Tablet (Loto's Tablet) is an informative text which outlines the basic steps to complete the original Dragon Quest.
Content
The tablet was written by Erdrick and describes how he was able to defeat the demonlord 100 years prior.
Location
The tablet is located on the second basement of Erdrick's Cave.
Forms
NES
In the NES version, the tablet is contained with a treasure chest. Upon opening the chest, the player is read the content of the tablet. The chest gives no permanent item to the player and can be opened repeatedly to re-read the tablet.
Remakes
In the remakes of Dragon Quest, the tablet is represented by a large graphical sprite. It is read in the same way the hero speaks to non-player characters.
