Topic: Overlord: 100% Corruption?

Alright, I've:

  • Killed the whole elf race.
  • Killed every human in Bree.
  • Wrecked every house in Bree.
  • Killed every sentient being I could find.
  • Chose Velvet as the mistress.
  • Razed the sacred grove.
  • Started the bar room brawl.

    But I can only get to 83% Corruption. What am I missing? I walked right past the Arcanium mine the first time through the game so I've probably missed something else big. Also missing the last health upgrade.

    Here's a complete list:

    1. You have killed a friendly peasant. An unfortunate accident or the start of an evil rampage?
    2. You killed 20 peasants. Are you holding back?
    3. You kept the peasants' food. Your minions are happy, the peasants are not.
    4. You are a Harasser of Humans and the people of Spree don't like you anymore.
    5. Now you've suppressed Spree, the people officially hate you.
    6. You thrashed all of Spree's houses. Homewrecker!
    7. You have killed 10 females. Wenchbane!
    8. You have "persuaded" Spree's peasants to come and work at your Tower.
    9. You have killed 100 peasants. Got a taste for it have you?
    10. You've caused a Bar Room Brawl in the Halfway to Heaven Inn.
    11. You trashed all of the houses in Heaven's Peak, you Town Trasher!
    12. So many lives lost. So much Lifeforce for you. You are the ultimate Enemy of Mankind.
    13. You dumped Rose in favour of her sister Velvet.
    14. The Sacred Grove is now a blackened wasteland.
    15. You have killed 10 elves, you are hereby known as Destroyer of Elves.
    16. You've fattened the slugs by feeding the Elves to them.
    17. You traded the Elven race for lots of lovely gold.
    18. The Mother Goddess statue looks great in your tower. The elves are a bit upset.
    19. You gave your traitors the punishment they deserved.

    Supress spree early, and you'll get a little cutscene where they offer you some peasant girls that you have to go all around the spree map and capture. I was shooting for 100% corruption on a game and forgot to fatten the slugs (Glittering mine iirc).

    And the punishment is after Khan attacks.
    Edit: And as far as I can tell, enemy of mankind is 1000 or so peasants killed.

    360 or PC. People complain about the controls on PC (mouse sweeping vs. control stick sweeping) but I never had a problem with it.

    I missed feeding the elves to the slugs on my current save though and Khan is attacking my spree and I'm sad cos all that work is now for naught.

    Aside from the scantily clad peasants milling about your throne, the more powerful (Though less friendly to your minions) spells, a better looking/dressed mistress and the satisfaction of wiping out the entire elven race on a planet, not much I think.

    Okay... how do I get the minions through the geyser field in the Moist Caverns? The advisor said to use the Guard Marker, but I don't see how it would help. When I guided them through the eruptions manually, they just stopped two feet from the lever they have to turn; and stay there and die; not responding to any commands.

    Any ideas?

    between geysers, just slightly move them left/right.

    What does the guard marker do? If I put it down, they won't move from the spot, unless I call them all back - I don't know any other way to make them respond once the guard marker is down.

    The guard marker is really best saved for battle. If you assign reds to it, they'll act as a firing squad without running into battle to get stomped. If you assign browns, they'll play guard duty, not chasing too far.

    Where it really shines is the greens, who become invisible and automatically attack at the back where they do immense damage, and the blues, who will run out and rescue fallen minions and act as combat medics.

    Overlord 101:

    Lock on to the guard markers and sweep. Instantly the game becomes a lot easier.

    And just because I'm the Hero of the Imperium and feeling nice, I'll also add that guard markers are worthless with browns. For whatever reason if a monster comes within the agro range of browns assigned to a guard marker, and they move to attack, they'll probably get stuck where ever they end up. This causes them to stand there stupidly if any other monsters come up to the guard marker.

    The most use you can get out of them is with blues. Once put inside a guard marker, it functions as a field medic tent, basically. Blues will run out a decent sized distance to rescue downed minions.

    Essentially, you want to create battle lines in the majority of encounters you come up against. Browns in the front, reds markered behind them, blues markered behind reds. Greens aren't worth the effort, but if you insist on using them, sweep them up the flanks and stick a guard marker down. Pray something runs by they can hop on.

    This can be fixed by jiggling the guard marker around a bit. They all reset back to the middle and then swarm again. I've used this tactic to some great results in the arena for farming beetles.

    Yes, I will agree this works. But it's simply not worth the effort. I keep browns chained to my person at all times. They automatically assist on whatever you're hitting anyway.

    An Overlord who's afraid to mix it up with his minions is not deserving of his place.

    Generally ya, but for those arena fights my 33 browns rip the beetles to shreds so fast that it's more efficient if I just spend my time collecting the lifeforce and making sure they're all attacking at once. I just don't wanna do ALL the beetles at once so I like to slowly move the gaurd point in from the side.

    Corrupted or uncorrupted, not both.

    Farming beetles becomes laughably easy once you get a durium suit with full defense/regen and a durium mace with max damage/fire, you can wade through the beetles yourself without your minions. Makes gathering lifeforce for your arcanium stuff easy as pie.

    Another tip about guard markers: If running face first into battle, drop a guard marker where the bulk of the fighting will happen (right beside you works). Makes your blues go into medic mode, and makes your greens go into stealth attack mode. Sucks with browns though, but they're worthless later in the game anyway.

    Legion of Horror makes your browns wickedly fucking sick, I swear. Took down masses of zombies in no time flat.

    I need to play through it as straight good and straight evil again, but find myself lacking in willpower to do so; Especially because I missed one elf feeding and ~10 hours of play is moot, heh.

    I did like my first save where I went evil halfway through, but kept rose.. I'm spreading evilness about the land, but laying on a picnic blanket with rose looking in each other's eyes.

    One question I have. It sounds like this game only just came out, yet it sounds like many people here are already all the way through the game. Is the game really that short, or do we just have some people playing the game non-stop for a few days?

    I did everything in fable in 1 day..paid like $45 for it, and couldn't even get $20 for it the next day.

    I'm still not very far, because it gets retty repetitive quickly. Good in short bursts. I usually play one or two segments every couple of days.

    It does have an option for downloadable content however, although nothings up yet as far as I know, so that could add replayability on the scale of Crackdowns big DLC.
