Overlord Cheats and Hints (XBOX 360, PC)

Cheat: Forge Glitch

To upgrade your equipment without sacrificing any minions, do the following. As you are upgrading or forging any given equipment, wait until the camera goes above the upgrade area. Before the minions actually come out, press start and exit the game. Then, reload your game. You’ll find that no minions have been sacrificed but the game has still upgraded your gear! (unverified)

Hint - Poor Overlord's Power-up

If you died recently and your minions are weakened, go to either Halfling Homes or the village of Spree, and break all the objects for new weapons and armor. This is no substitute for actually upgrading your minions, but it works at the start of the game!

Hint - Dungeon Force

When lifeforce is harder to come by with the advance smelters, visit the tower dungeon and use the staged fights to earn lifeforce. A mix of minions will let you set ambushes and revive any losses. The only downside are that your have no spells to use.

Hint - Master and Minion Multitude Achievements

The best way to unlock the Minion Multitude Achievement is to visit the Dungeon with an ultimately imbued Arcanium Sword and Armor.

For the weapon, don't balance out your minion sacrifices so that you get a little bit of everything and instead focus on increasing the damage (brown minions) and just a little of the green minions to do massive damage with the power blow.

For the armor, don't balance out your minion sacrifices so that you get a little bit of everything and instead focus on increasing the defence (brown minions) and just a little of the green minions to regenerate life slowly (about 5 to 10%).

Don't take any minions with you and when you go into the dungeon and approach each group of enemies slowly so that you face only a few at a time. This way if your health gets low you can run away for a bit and regenerate.
