With most of the land accessible destinations explored, it's time to hop in your ship and explore the eastern regions of Alefgard. Your first stop will be the village of Kol, which is nestled into a crown of mountains near the north. Some of its occupants are, like you, originally from the world above. One particular man has the power to craft a treasured weapon if you can provide him with the proper materials. On an island to the east of Kol is a tower where the spirit who created this land is said to be trapped. Further to the south is the town of Rimuldar. A tunnel to connect the lands of Kol and Rimuldar is under construction, but it isn't ready yet. You'll learn more information about how to reach Zoma in Rimuldar, and maybe even find an important item. But most important of all is the Holy Shrine found on a small island south of Rimuldar.

Nestled in the forest, Kol appears to be a very lush and woodsy town. Above the entrance is an equipment shop, but the only unique item that it sells is the Water Flying Cloth <span style="color:green">(Water Dress)</span>, a particular good piece of defensive equipment for Wizards <span style="color:green">(Mages)</span>, which specializes in fire protection. In town, one guy tells you that he heard the Sword of Kings <span style="color:green">(King's Sword)</span> was shattered into pieces by Zoma, while another woman tells you that the owner of the item shop is skilled at restoring useless items. <span style="color:green">Go in the Well and check south of the stairs for a '''Small Medal'''.</span> Across from the inn, a woman will inform you of the open air baths. <span style="color:green">Check the stairs in the Bath for a '''Small Medal'''. North of the Inn is a '''Mystic Nut''' hidden behind the trees.</span> Beyond the baths, in the upper left corner of town, is a woman standing behind a counter. She tells you that the Archfiend uses powers of Darkness, and that you should be able to weaken those powers if you have the Sphere of Light.

As you travel down the left side of town, you will reach an apartment where the woman inside says she was from Jipang, and she and her husband fled when she might have become an offering to Orochi. She says her husband used to be a swordsmith. <span style="color:green">Check both dressers behind her for '''Pachisi Ticket''' and '''Clothes'''.</span> In the building to the southeast, a man says that the Sword of Kings <span style="color:green">(King's Sword)</span> was rumored to me made of Oricon, and the man in the lower right corner of the room says that the man upstairs is from Jipang. <span style="color:green">Check the tile in the middle of the room for a '''Pachisi Ticket'''.</span> Climb the stairs to meet him. You will see a large room with a man behind the counter. The man will offer to sell you a handful of items, with nothing special. However, if you happened to have found the Oricon from the pasture in Hauksness <span style="color:green">(Domdora)</span>, he will offer to purchase it from you at the cost of 22,500 gold. Sell it to him, leave the village, return to it, and speak with him again <span style="color:green">(In the remakes you need to save and then reset the Game. Load the savestate and return to him)</span>. He will have a new item in his list of wares: The '''Sword of Kings''' <span style="color:green">('''King's Sword''')</span>, which you can purchase from him at a cost of 35,000 gold. Do so at your earliest convenience. <span style="color:green">Also check both bags behind him for '''Pachisi Ticket''' and '''Small Medal'''.</span>

{{spoiler|title=Finding the Fairy Flute|content=[[File:DW3_screenshot_Fairy_Flute.gif|thumb|right|Search below the baths.]]Finding the Fairy Flute in this game is almost identical to finding it in the first one. It is found here in Kol, and it is found directly below the open air baths. From the bath walk south until you bump into the wall below. Search the ground on that spot, and you will obtain the '''Fairy Flute'''. Having been to Cantlin <span style="color:green">(Mercado)</span>, you know that it won't be used to put any monsters to sleep, but if you ask around in Kol, you will learn the true purpose it serves.}}{{-}}

From below the two treasure chests, head to the left. Once again, you can open a door that leads outside the tower. This time, there is a man standing just off screen to the bottom. He gives you a hint about how to traverse on the revolving floors. Walk back inside the tower, and head down the passage on the left side to reach a set of stairs that lead to the second floor.{{-}}

In the bottom set of treasure chests, you will find one '''Vitality Seed''' and three '''Acorns of Life''' <span style="color:green">(You get only 2 '''Life Nut''', '''Benevolent Ring''' and '''Flamerang''')</span>. Among the top set of treasure chests, one has '''960 gold''', another has a '''Full Moon Herb''' <span style="color:green">('''Small Medal''')</span>, and the remaining two are '''{{~|Enemies#Mimic|Mimics}}''' <span style="color:green">(No, there is only one in the remakes and the other chest has '''Strength Ring''')</span>. After you have examined the chests, walk over to the right side of the middle section to locate the staircase that leads to the third floor.{{-}}

Once you are across, you will be standing before the treasure chest. Examine it to find the '''Armor of Radiance''' <span style="color:green">('''Light Armor''')</span>, one of the three Tantegel <span style="color:green">(Ludatorm)</span> treasures needed to defeat Zoma. Give it to your Hero to equip. It will heal one hit point of damage with every step that he takes. After you collect it, you can opt to go back the way you came and take the staircase, or you can simply fall over the ledge and drop down to the giant room in the middle of the third floor. <span style="color:green">Let yourself fall down and search above the lowest skull for a '''Pachisi Ticket'''.</span> Either way, return to the central corridor in the bottom of the third floor, then head left and walk up the left side of the floor.{{-}}

When you cross the boundary to the top of the floor, you will see one treasure chest near the top, but it is a '''{{~|Enemies#Mimic|Mimic}}''' <span style="color:green">('''Small Medal''')</span>. Walk right to the center and stand on the revolving tiles before the gap in the wall. Allow yourself to walk through the gap, and you will fall all the way down to the first floor. However, you will now be standing before the back side of the tower. Unlock the door to the back and step inside.

On the fourth floor, cross the hallway back to the left. On the opposite side, you will find the stairs that take you up to the fifth and final floor of the tower. Upon arriving at the fifth floor, walk down to the bottom of the floor and cross over to the right until you reach an entrance into the interior. Walk up and approach the locked door. Open the door and continue up to the room containing a statue. Stand before the statue and play the Fairy Flute. Suddenly, the spirit of Rubiss will be freed from her imprisonment. As a reward for your bravery, she will offer you the '''Sacred Amulet''' <span style="color:green">('''Sacred Talisman''')</span>. Having secured the amulet, you may now leave the tower.{{-}}

If you played the first [[Dragon Warrior]], you may recall that there was an underwater tunnel that connected the land south of Kol with the land surrounding Rimuldar. The entrance to this cave can still be found at the bottom of a poison marsh along the southern coast of the island. However, if you investigate it, you will find that in this time, the cave is only under construction, and still has quite a ways to go before it is complete. You won't be able to utilize it to reach Rimuldar, so you'll have to find another means of getting there. <span style="color:green">Check right of the westernmost bed for a '''Pachisi Ticket''', go south and search between both mens for a '''Small Medal''')</span>{{-}}

There are just a few remaining locations of interest left for you to visit in the land of Alefgard. Far to the south of Rimuldar is an island which contains a Holy Shrine. And north of Rimuldar, you can reach the peninsula that leads to the island where Zoma's castle is situated. However, no bridge connects the two pieces of land, and no ship can sail into the interior waters of Alefgard, so you'll have to find another way to reach it. Perhaps you can learn of another way in Rimuldar.{{-}}

Along the top of the town are two people standing in buildings who claim that the Sacred Amulet <span style="color:green">(Sacred Talisman)</span> is proof of Rubiss' love, and that the Armor of Radiance <span style="color:green">(Light Armor)</span> may be found in the tower where she is held. <span style="color:green">Search the cupboard in right room for a '''Zen Book'''. In the left room are '''Golden Beak''' in cupboard, '''Strength Seed''' and '''Small Medal''' in pots.</span> A man standing on an island claims that Ortega didn't know how to cross over to the island and drowned in the ocean, but many people have predicted his death before, and so far they have all been wrong.

Walk toward the two trees below the building, and push up one square to the right of them <span style="color:green">(In remakes you need to push from the left side)</span>. You will find a covered region of the building with a set of stairs that lead to the jail. The guard standing nearby claims that the prisoner is a chronic liar. If you wish to speak with him, open the jail door and step inside. He will tell you that there's a secret passage behind the thrones in Zoma's castle. Whether he is lying or being honest remains to be seen, <span style="color:green">but check the table to find a '''Small Medal'''.</span>  

Below the Inn, you will see another Soldier walking about. If you speak with him, he claims to be worried about the item that he left in the Inn which he says was given to him by Ortega. Naturally, you should be very curious, and take advantage of this person's naivety. Step inside the inn and open both locked doors that lead the way to the treasure chest in the lower right corner. Open the chest, and you will find the '''Ring of Life''' <span style="color:green">('''Life Ring''')</span>. This item will restore one lost hit point for every step its wearer takes. Note that the Hero will not earn back two hit points if he or she wears both the Armor of Radiance and the Ring of Life, so be sure to give the Ring of Life to someone else who takes a lot of damage, or runs out of hit points quickly. <span style="color:green">Also check the cupboard in the Inn for a '''Hard Heart'''.</span>

If you've gotten the one in Shrine of Honor, then you should have the necessary 100 medals to get the Gold Pass, if so go to Aliahan and claim the last Reward..}}

Finally, it is possible to explore the outer edges of town. If you walk up along the right side of town, just outside of the water, you will encounter an unhappy woman who is upset that someone hasn't met her. If you continue left along the north side of town, you will reach the building in the upper left corner. In the original [[Dragon Warrior]], this is where you first bought Magic Keys. However, at this time, the man only wishes to see a Magic Key. If you bother to fetch the key from the Vault and show it to him, he will only remark about how interesting it is, and you gain nothing. <span style="color:green">But you can get '''Pachisi Ticket''' and '''Small Medal''' from the cupboards and also a '''Wisdom Seed''' in the pot.</span> If you continue around to the lower left corner of town, you won't find anyone waiting there. In order to see who the other woman was talking about, you must actually step pretty far out to the left. There you will find a man who mentions that the Sage's Stone can heal everyone's wounds and be used any number of times.

To reach the Holy Shrine south of Rimuldar, you have no options but to sail. The bridge that connects the land in the future is far off from being built. Follow the east coast of Alefgard south until you reach the small island surrounded by hills along the north edge. In the middle of the island is a shrine surrounded by trees and a ring of mountains. Approach the shrine from the south. Inside is a man for remarks that the Stones of Sunlight <span style="color:green">(Sun Stone)</span>, the Staff of Rain <span style="color:green">(Rain Staff)</span>, and the Sacred Amulet <span style="color:green">(Sacred Talisman)</span> are marks of proof of a hero. If you are missing any one of these items, he will have nothing to do with you and ask you to leave. However, if you bring all three of these items to him, he will create the '''Rainbow Drop''' for you. <span style="color:green">Check under the left Cross for a '''Small Medal'''.</span>
