Make sure you have stolen the crane and then go to your dungeon, fight any of the beetle enemies and you will get 75 lifeforce per go. It usually helps to have decent equipment or some minions too until you get full arcanium.

There is a good strategy posted in the achievement guide that Bluntman428 worked hard on. That should work for you and if you need any more help you should check there first bc its a pretty good guide.

if you don't really care about color, such as for upgrading the stupid helmets. Getting the green lifeforce is by far the easiest. All you need to do is get your max amount of greens. Use the 'Y Button' to set them up in a single location and then begin to walk towards some of the Puff Beetles and bring them back towards your Green Minions. they will dispatch them really easily. Just rinse and repeat. Also, you could do the same thing but instead have all Green Minions with 5 blues and 5 reds and set the blues and reds up using the Y button behind the greens. that way if any of the Greens happen to die, such as if you get attacked by 4 or more Puff Beetles at a time then the blues will automatically go and pick up their dead bodies and revive them.
Anyways thats just an easy strategy I used to get them all done. Later on I used all reds and just ran into the middle of all the minions with all my reds set up behind me blowing them to pieces. Also didn't hurt that I had fully imbued Arcanium armor on either haha.

I do the same thing but I get about 20 browns 5 blues and 10 reds. I but my browns in the center of the dungeon (not to close) then place my reds behind them. I some times place my blues with my browns but they get massacred so I but them right behind them. I attract 2 bettles and make them follow me back to my browns and then just kill them I help them sometimes.

definitively the dungeon is the very fast way to increase your minions

Hey everyone. I just beat overlord on the good setting. I am now trying to get my minions to 10,000. Just a question though. How long does this take to get the 10,000?? I have been doing the dungeon trick and right now I have 3 thousand greens 700 browns 480 reds and 300 blues. It is taking forever and I find myself falling asleep while playing.when I keep doing this over and over again. So, anyone who has done this, please tell me how much longer till I get the 10000.
It takes about 1-2 minutes to get 75 lifeforce, so for 10000 you will take (assuming you need all 10000) 267 minutes = 4.75 hours.
But if you have played through the game fully you will have about 1000-2000 lifeforce already, so it shouldn't take as long. Just keep at it and eventually it unlocks.

If you are able to fully imbue an Arcanium Mace with all browns to give you +150 something extra damage it will take one hit to kill a Puff Beetle. It will take two hits to kill everything else. The Dazzler Beetles will almost die in one hit but will barely live. So my recommendation since you beat the game is to just fully imbue a Arcanium Mace and go at it. Only point of taking minions in with you is to help collect all of that lifeforce because it honestly takes longer to collect the lifeforce than it does to kill all the Puff Beetles. Good Luck!

Thanks everyone for helping me out. I just got the achievement. I collected 6000 greens, 1000 browns, 400 reds, and 300 blues and it unlocked. I guess the rest was the lifeforce I already collected throughout the game. Thanks again guys. Now I just need the co-op 15 min and 30 minutes achievments. I am not going to get the 50 wins ones. If anyone can help me with the co-op that knows how to do it let me know. See ya guys later.

it is easy to do either green or blue beetles on your own without minions aslong as you have decent arcanium/durium equipment
