Tips for the evilest Overlord Guide

Last update: 11 May 2016

 

So you wanna be the thoroughly evil bad guy, with max corruption points? - Okay. Basically, it all comes down to killing the innocent peasants (you'll meet them in Spree and in Heaven's Peak) and elves (Evernight and the dwarven quests). Your minions won't attack them without your order so hold SHIFT for them to recognize the good guys. You should kill ca 500 peasants which in fact means you have to kill all the people you meet in the areas mentioned. Pillage their houses too, and don't forget to start a fight in Halfway to Heaven Inn! Looking for the keys in Mother Goddess Temple you can kill all these elven ghosts without hesitation - send your blues on them. Also, use fireballs or red minions to do the job in Elves' Sacred Grove - burn the sacred grass and tree.

If you're evilest-evil from the beginning, in Mellow Hills you'll get a chance to get 10 female servants for your tower. They all look and behave alike and they won't want to go with you - that's how you'll know they're the right ones. Send minions to grab and carry them to the waypoint - it's better to assist them then as the girls will be trying to escape. They're all in and around Spree (one's in Bob's farm).

If you want to be the real lord of evil, you have to make the right (evil) decisions too. When you retrieve the peasants' food (Retrieve the Food quest) - don't give it back to them! When you defeat Sir William and meet Velvet (quest: Find Rose's wayward sister Velvet) - dump Rose and take her sister instead! Your fight with Goldo in the mines (quest: Kill Goldo and his pet) will give you a choice - and it's obvious that gold is more precious than the lives of the last elven women. More - on any condition you shouldn't give them back the statue of Mother Goddess when they ask you for it (after you take it from Jewel - quest: Drive Jewel into the village Tower Gate). Good luck, evildoer!
