You have to beat the final boss in order to unlock it. It will pop up during the end cut scene.

Just an FYI, for those trying to get the new dungeon achievement, make sure you've taken care of the previous dungeon opponents as well on that file, even if you already have the achievement from a prior playthrough. There seems to be "Challenge" matches with the older occupants of your dungeon, such as the Halfling Challenge, Skull Tribe Challenge, Dwarf Challenge, and Monster Challenge. They didn't appear for me on the list until after I had some of the previous matches cleared out on this file.

Thanks for the info.

You're welcome! There's also an Undead Challenge, but I've yet to beat it. I think it's because my current file's almost entirely unimbued, and I either end up with the reaper or the musketeers and very little life. Some HP-regen or another ten minions'd make all the difference.

Yea I had HP regeneration on my character when I beat them, it helped out a lot.

Do you have to beat the game all over again to get legendary overlord or is there a way to beat the 7th hero without doing it all again?

Hi !

I have a question about an old achievement working (or not) with the expansion..

I'm trying the "Tower Master" right now but I can't help but wonder if the new objects in the abysses count for it ?

I already complete the first abyss, looting a bag of coins, a forge mold and the abyss key. I think I missed something with a peon who's about to be fried (I burn him.. It was an accident, I swear ^^)

I searched in the forum and found someone saying that, obviously, only some achievements of the add-on are concerned by the abysses but I wanted to be sure of that.

Thanks, and sorry if this question was asked before.

[Shdwwrym]

You need to start over from scratch. It's Legendary for a reason!

I'm not sure if the Abysses would count for the tower master achievement. I can at least tell you that the guy you roasted would've only given you some normal breakable boxes and barrels, so you've not missed out on anything with that guy.

I was upgrading my arcanium axe and I put the max ammount of minions on then did it. Looked at it and it was like +90 damage +45 fire and nothing on the others[ hadn't done them] so I went back to upgrade some more and the option to upgrade my axe is gone, does this mean it's fully done or is it glitched?

I can verify that any matches done on the Expansion maps will count towards the original win achievements.

It is fully done. The max amount is just that the max.

How easy are these achievements?

You can get a pretty decent number in a single runthrough in you play it correctly. You'll have to play the game at least twice to get all the single-player ones. I recommend playing the "good" version the first time, which will get the majority of the story-related achievements as well as the Zero Corruption achievement. On your second playthrough play on Legendary Difficulty as the "evil" overlord and get the Tower Master achievement as well. With a dedicated boosting partner, you can get all the multiplayer achievements in under four hours. Overall, its not a quick 1250, but its certainly not incredibly challenging. Check the guide or PM me if you have any questions and I can probably help. I've beaten the game five times now.

Thanks send me a FR next time your on and i should get Overlord tomorrow from Gamefly. But i won't be able to get the new 250G because i don't have an MS points and i just got a PS3 so i am out of money right now. So i am only able to get the first set of achievements that came with the game. Thanks

One more question if you dont mind, how difficult is it too boost ranked games in overlord? Is it easy to find eachother, or is some glitch needed (like the language in halo3)?

Thanks!

So few people play that, as long as you know which map you're playing on, you can easily find the other person. One person hosts and the other just searches for it. Piece of cake.

Yes. You need Live for 9 of the 54 achievements.

[Deathblow23]

I'm looking to boost the MP achievements for Overlord. If you are interested please send me a msg, or a FR. I'm on most everyday. Thanks!!!

[SakuraMusume]

How can you check how much lifeforce you've harvested?
My Tower Heart says I've lost 9001 minions and have 1013 minions alive, so shouldn't I get the achievement (cause I'd think that would mean I've harvested 10,014)? Or is that not what it counts? I'm so confused. And darn sick of farming beetles in the Dungeon.

Tower Master 40
Collect all the Tower Objects

HELP !!!
-I've been trying to get... "Health Item #2 – This item can be found at the far end of the Desert before you get to the city where you capture Jewel."
-I kill all the worms along the path, then have my minions pick it up. Unfortunately, when they get to the stone bridge you build, they won't cross all the way.

EDIT: You can guide minion groups that carry objects just like moving around your target markers.
I simply guided this group that tried to cross the bridge to the other tower portal. Finally!

Ultimate Steel10 Forge an Ultimately Imbued Steel Set
Ultimate Durium20 Forge an Ultimately Imbued Durium Set
Ultimate Arcanium40 Forge an Ultimately Imbued Arcanium
Set

NOTE: If you use the minion glitch, keep in mind these things:
-These achievements do not unlock when you quick-save after forging minions into your item.
-I had over 400 of each minion type. Using this glitch will still subtract minions from your total. Each time I upgraded a set with the glitch, I ended up with:
101 - Brown
101 - Red
101 - Green
101 - Blue
-So do like the stickied guide suggests and only imbue 101 of each color at at time.

1. Purchase each item legitimately with gold and forge them (with no added minions). SAVE.
2. Exploit the glitch until you only need a few more minions to completely upgrade the item (just one more is good enough).
3. When you add your last minion to completely upgrade an item, DO NOT SKIP THE CUT SCENE. SACRIFICE THE LAST MINION LEGITIMATELY.
The achievements will then unlock.

[E vee dub]

Here are the prices and totals of each set piece and type.
-The sword, axe and mace each cost the same price.

................cost in gold............# of minions....
STEEL
Helmet............2,500...................... 675
Armor.............2,000...................... 325
Weapon.......+ 1,500 ...................+ 175
Total........... $6,000 .................. 1,175 minions

DURIUM
Helmet...........4,500 ..................... 1,150
Armor.............4,000 ....................... 575
Weapon.......+ 3,000 .....................+ 300
Total .......... $11,500 ................... 2,025 minions

ARCANIUM
Helmet............8,000 .................... 2,000
Armor ............7,000 .................... 1,000
Weapon........+5,000...................... +500
Total ......... $20,000..................... 3,500 minions

Grand Totals $37,500 .................. 6,700 minions

(Note: Gold total does not include amount to upgrade fortress for the "Mistress Master" achievement.)

pretty amazing achievements this game has to offer i have to say..

[AdamVG-R]

I already have the Raising Hell DLC and I'm playing through on Legendary. I take it that I have to using legit minions for the forge achievements? God that is going to take forever...any suggestions for a quick load of lifeforce other than storming Spree?

[zerocool616]

[ExtremeRugburn]

I am trying to close out this game and I have a question regarding the Survivor achievements and Extended Survivor from the expansion. In the guide listed here it states the following...

"You can either play with someone over Xbox Live or split-screen with a second player or even just a second controller. If you play on the Silent Hall map, you’ll unlock all the Survivor achievements in a single 45 minutes game with almost no effort."

So based on this statement I can play in split-screen on Silent Hall map and get all four Survivor achievements? Or do I have to play online to get all four in a single game? If someone knows the answer and can clarify I would appreciate it. If you must do it online then someone needs to change the wording on this guide.

you can get all 4 as long as you get to 45 minutes. Personally i did mine on the rocky race map on split-screen. I used a second controller and with the first controller i used my green minions to block the Rock Giant from coming down the hill. If done right, he'll just stand there and after 45 minutes you'll get your achievement.

Heaven's Peak offers more lifeforce than Spree. So i'd just farm lifeforce there instead.

If I start a game and buy the dlc after I've made a save file can I access the dlc on that particular play through or will I need to start a new game?

As far as I know the expansion "Raising Hell" becomes available after you have beaten the Wizard = finished the game, so I don't think that you'll have to restart the game. For the "Challenge Pack" it's different: In order to choose the legendary difficulty you will have to start a new game.
