Beginning a game:
The goal is the same as it is in regular Dragon Warrior: find the Silver Harp, trade it in for the Staff of Rain, find the Stones of Sunlight and Erdrick's Token, and defeat the Dragonlord.
Along the way, you'll need to pick up Erdrick's Armor, most likely need Erdrick's Sword, and acquire enough HP, MP and Attack Power.
However, all the chests have been randomized, as well as the search spots in Kol, Hauksness and the coordinates.
