Locate the Statue of the Mother Goddess - part 1 Overlord Guide

As you go up and past the waypoint, there are some sheep to kill on the left - so use the opportunity to collect some life force. Keep going - to the dwarven dwellings (#1). Kill them, loot the area sending minions to the houses. At the back of the village, behind some barrels, you'll find another tower object. Collect it to increase your mana! Continue through the village (left) so you'll meet some slugs and Gnarl will tell you about their relations with Dwarves. Send minions to push the cart (#2) to cover the hole in the ground so the slugs stop coming out.

Now let's go for a pint - so head up the hill and around the path and you'll come to a dwarven pub where the guys drink their self-brewed beer. Sorry, but we're here to crash the party. There are a few ways to do it. First, remember that a drunk dwarf is a furious and so: more dangerous dwarf (the same refers to minions). Walk down a few steps to provoke a group of the dwarves nearest you and then run back up and kill them no problem. Repeat the operation until you can deal with the rest that's left in the pub and take over the place. You can also go for a more sophisticated solution: guide 5 minions down the path and over the pipe to move the cart from the hole (#1) and release the slugs. Position some reds over the slug hole so they throw their fireworks on to the dwarfs occupied with the slugs. When you're done here send minions to move the cart back over the hole, and kill the slugs and the dwarves left. Another strategy is going down in and simply making the mess - killing whatever turns up and strengthening minions with spells. Whichever way you choose, remember the most important here: grab the spell (#2) up left and let your minions have a few beers - that would make them happy. As you head back up, release the elves locked in a cell.

Now come back to where you covered the slug hole first. Break the barrier there (#1), kill slugs and dwarves and head down to the next little fence. There's mines behind it - we'll go there in a while - but first there's this giant rock-man to play with (#2). You can give your little helpers some time with it, but a few fireballs are enough to bring it down. Now head on into the mines.
