![]() Don’t get me wrong, it is extremely hard to make a game genuinely funny anymore, and Overlord II does a nice job of setting the mood time and time again. There are cut scenes and dialogue that seem so far-fetched that it borders on just being preposterous. There are times when it feels like the game is simply trying too hard to be funny. The witty British-style humor is still present, and the game doesn’t take itself too seriously, which is a good thing because most of the cut scenes border on the ridiculous side far too often. Once again you will slowly progress and become more evil as the game goes along, but this time around you are actually fighting against an even more evil faction, so it kind of makes you the good guy in a sense. The game actually starts off rather clever as the minions observe you as a child, and decide if you are the right material to become their new Overlord. You begin the game as a brand new Overlord, which if you finished the original (yes that means spoiler alert ahead) it makes sense as the original one met an untimely demise. Still if you can get past the fact that Overlord II feels more like a re-imagining than a sequel, you will still find plenty of evil good times packed away on this DVD. There are new game features such as minion upgrades and riding mounts, but the streamlining of the single player game and the focus on linear progression really mar the exploration aspect found in the first game. The sequel keeps a lot of what made the first one so unique, but also fails to capitalize on the idea of improving a lot of what made the original rough around the edges. Note: The first weapons and armour will be relatively weak but resource cheap, the more powerful equipment will take up significant resources, though.The original Overlord game was an interesting foray into an untapped area of gaming that, while it had its problems, ended up making up for them with some truly unique methods of gameplay. Two more can be obtained in the Battle Rock dlc after defeating the Empire General and the Phoenix. There are a total of three smelters in Overlord II base game: the 1st one in Nordberg, the 2nd in the Everlight Jungle, and the 3rd in the Empire Harbour. These require certain amounts of minions and can not be upgraded (reforged) to create the:ĭiffering from Overlord you no longer need to find smelters, but so-called Forge Stones. In Overlord: Raising Hell the player can find Unique Items, the moulds, in the various abysses. The Arcanium smelter is found in the dwarven mines used by dwarves and heavily guarded by slugs, flamethrower dwarves and regular dwarves. The Durium smelter is found in the under-streets(2) being guarded by zombies, formally used to create Durium equipment for the fallen paladins. It was used by halflings to forge their steel armor and weapons You will be met with small waves halflings wanting to prevent you from returning the smelter. The Steel smelter is found in the mellow hills workshop north-east of spree, You will need red's to collect this smelter as it is covered in flames. The maximum number of minions you can imbue into a weapon or armour is shown below: Note that you can upgrade your equipment at a later time by sacrificing more minions. It is up to you what minion types you use to imbue equipment. ![]() The Steel Smelter produces the weakest, the Arcanium Smelter the most powerful weapons and armour. The better the smelter you use the more expensive, but also more powerful your equipment becomes after a forge. No minions have been sacrificed, but the armour is still upgraded (will not work with current patch). Spoiler: To upgrade your equipment without sacrificing any minions, do the following.Īs you are upgrading or forging any given equipment, wait until the camera goes above the upgrade area.īefore the minions actually come out, access the menu and exit the game. Unique Items from moulds), but can upgrade them by sacrificing more minions. Note also that the player can only forge non-enchanted equipment of the three types of metals in the game (excludes e.g. Note that different minion types have different effects on equipment. Minions can be sacrificed to the forge to improve your armour and weapons. In Overlord the forge required three different smelters in order to create the best equipment, which were the Steel Smelter, Durium Smelter, and the Arcanium Smelter. What resources are required depend on the specific weapons or armour and the game. But resources and minions will have to be exchanged in order to get the equipment. The Forge is where Giblet will create new equipment for the Overlord.
