Kol is typically the third town the hero visits. It does not contain any essential items for completing the game. The Fairy Flute is hidden four steps south of the fountain and is useful for defeating the Golem outside Mercado.
Dragon Quest II
As is the case with most of the towns/villages in Alefgard, Kol is not accessible in Dragon Quest II. Its location on the world map is covered with forest.
Dragon Quest III
Kol contains the item shop which sells the Sword of kings, which is the hero's strongest weapon in the original Dragon Quest III (but not in remakes). The sword is for sale after selling Orichalcum to the Zipangu shopkeeper and re-entering the village.
In the SNES and GBC versions of Dragon Quest, the hero can receive a puff-puff near the bath for 20 gold. All references to puff-puff were removed from the original NES version as they were seen as too risque.
The item shop in the NES version is referred to as a tools shop. In Dragon Quest III this shop is located up a set of stairs and is run by the man from Zipangu.
Note: The Sword of Kings is only available after selling the shop keeper oricon and then leaving town and returning. Only 1 Sword of Kings can be purchased.
