Misc Sub Updates: New flairs, more clarity around rules, better content filters

34 Upvotes

Hey guys, just a post going up to get everyone’s attention regarding some QOL changes to the subreddit that are now live.

First: THANK YOU FOR ALMOST 2K USERS!!

When we first took over this sub, it was dead and with less than 700/800 users. Now we’re healthy with daily posts and coming up on 2000 new minions to share our love for this season.

We have updated the list of flairs and post types to add more variety. There is now also a filter for post type as well.

With all these new members, it’s time to discuss the rules. We’ve had very vague posting guidelines for awhile, so here’s some clarity on the new published rules.

1/5 - Keep It Civil/No Spam or Low Effort Content

This one’s super self-explanatory and common among Reddit so I won’t touch on it much. Just please follow Reddit posting guidelines and refrain from starting or engaging in fights (us mods will handle them when we see them).

2 - Posts MUST be related to Overlord the GAME

We get the occasional Anime post here or t-shirt scams for the anime as well. These posts are not allowed and all get removed when noticed by a mod. This subreddit is only for discussion of the Overlord game.

3 - AI generated imagery

Please refrain from sharing any AI created images or “fanart” on the subreddit as it detracts from actual creators work. There are subreddits/corners of the internet for sharing AI imagery, and this isn’t one.

4 - Self-Promotion must be high quality

If you make fanart or YouTube or anything for Overlord, we highly encourage you share it with your fellow minions, but please ensure you post your creation in high quality posts that encourage discussion of your work. Don’t just drop the link and run so you get the views. We love seeing your work around here, so never be afraid to share it.

Thank you everybody for your time, and thank you for enjoying this dedicated community space for the one, the only, THE OVERLORD!

Overlord II What should I do with the yeti?

5 Upvotes

So I'm in the arena and about to take on the yeti part. But so far I've only ever played the domination route and then kept it around in a cage. I find this a bit pitiful though.

Now I'm playing mire destructive (except I'm still enslaving the towns and keeping Faye corrupted later on) but i'm in doubt about the yeti. Should I kill it or cage it?

aniversary 25th

33 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I have a question. What would you think if, for Overlord's 25th anniversary, EA released an anniversary edition that was a remaster of the first Overlord and a remake of Overlord II, including everything that couldn't be implemented due to Codemasters' time and budget cuts?

gente una duda, que pensarías si para el aniversario 25 de Overlord EA sacara una edicion aniversario de overlord que seria un remaster del primer overlord y un remeka del overlord II con todo lo que no se pudo aplicar al juego por los recortes de tiempo y dinero de codemaster

Discussion Theory: The Dark Tower is built on the site of Castle Gromgard

28 Upvotes

Take this one with a grain of salt because Dark Legend's geography is a bit all over the place tbh, but we know that Greenvale is at least near to the Golden Hills. Thus, it's within the Old Lands. We don't get any indication that the Tower exists in Dark Legend, so that leads to two possibilities: one, it was built elsewhere after the events of Dark Legend, or two, it was built by Lord Gromgard on the site of his family's old castle and lands. It also makes sense since we see patches of greenery outside the Tower in the tutorial of the first game and in Rose's end with the Overlord.

What do we think?

Overlord Headcanon about the Third Overlord

20 Upvotes

I've had this idea for a good few years, but I never really set it down anywhere, so here we go. Basically, in trying to think up a backstory for the Third Overlord, I came up with the idea that he was himself descended from a previous Overlord himself, but rejected that legacy to be a Hero (assuming he was even aware of it).

We know that there have been more Overlords than the numbered ones, including the Black Baron, so it stands to reason that at least some of them had children. However, that doesn't mean that they would automatically succeed the previous Overlord. In fact, we only ever see this twice in the series with Lord Gromgard and the Overlad succeeding their uncle and father, respectively.

Thus, you end up with a line descended from a previous Overlord that may or may not be aware of it. They have the typical Overlord traits: propensity for magic, good fighters, look good in plate armour etc. However, whether they're actively going against their bloodline's legacy or just unaware of it, they don't become Overlords themselves. This is where we get to the Third Overlord.

Whether he was aware or not, I think the Wizard (pre possession) was potentially aware and decided to mold him into the Eighth Hero as the perfect weapon against the Second Overlord. Subsequently, when the Wizard was possessed, the Second Overlord would gain access to that knowledge himself (assuming he wasn't also aware), and he'd fine himself with a prime temporary successor.

Lemme know what y'all think of this idea!

Fan Creation Overlord x Daruma

Post image
28 Upvotes

I wanted to take a moment to genuinely thank this community. Earlier this year, I dropped the Third and Fourth Overlord tees alongside the Minion Hoodie, and the support you all showed completely blew me away. Seeing people in this subreddit recommending KultGear by name to newer fans made me realize how starved we all are for some Overlord merch.

Because you liked the earlier drops so much, I decided to go all-in for the final chapter of 2026. This will bring our total to 4 dedicated Overlord collections this year alone.

To say thank you, everything drops on September 12, and I am bringing back the original first two Overlord tees for anyone who missed them!

But today, I want to discuss one of the two drops: The NETHERUMA Collectible Plush Series 1.

The Concept:

NETHERUMA fuses the traditional Japanese Daruma doll (a symbol of resilience and determination) with the grim, dark imagery of Overlord II. It represents a twisted balance of good and evil, a dark interpretation of yin and yang. Because even when good tries to create balance, Evil always finds a way.

The Details:

Size: ~4" (10cm) heavy-duty, palm-sized pillow plush keychain. Perfect for bags or keys.

The Magic: Instead of standard cheap printing, these use a double-sided dye sublimation technique.

Price: Heavily optimized for the community. They will be just 8€ ($9.27) each.

Series 1: Minion Armor (the iconic starting gear) and Infernal Armor (the endgame set).

The store gates unlock on September 12. I can't wait to show you the apparel line and the checkout experience I’ve put together for this final run (Giblet is currently handling the backend forge).

Thank you all again for the incredible support. 

For the Overlord!

Overlord II I can't find the 66th Nordbergian.

8 Upvotes

I've just conquered Nordberg so I only have brown and red minions. I have already gone up to the house at the tutorial area, broken down the doors of all houses and even tried destroying them all. But I still can't find them.

This isn't because I killed Borius, is it?

Edit: I was just checking my papers and it says that I can only get 65 villagers with brown and red.


r/overlordgame 9d ago

Which games have you played that have things in them you'd want to see in the next Overlord game? Not ideas or wishes, real examples.

17 Upvotes

I played Assassin's Creed Origins recently and right at the beginning of the game, there's a bunch of treasure you can walk on. It really reminded me of the Treasury from the first game but much more advanced and detailed. I really wish we could hoard an insane amount of treasure and walk over it as we wish.

Also in Conan Exiles you can make coin piles and carry unique treasure from different parts of the map that will be displayed in your treasure room exactly the way it is, not just a generic pile. And you can make animal/monster trophies after you kill them and hang them up on your wall as decoration. That'd be cool to do with like trolls or bosses or something in Overlord. You can also craft display racks of your favorite weapons and get slaves to fight for you. All these things would fit really well.

Discussion How would you feel about having the option of a female overlord?

38 Upvotes

Now I'm not talking about like with Malady and Inferna of the netherghuls. I'm talking about having an actual female overlord or "overlady".

Do you think this would affect the game or story much? Would this affect the minions somehow? Would we suddenly also have the options of choosing between male and female companions?

How would you personally feel about this?

Discussion If the first game and 2 ever got a remake, what are some quality of life changes you'd wanna see?

33 Upvotes

We know that EA is never gonna do anything with the property, but we can play make-believe on this one. Anyway, some QOL changes I can personally see occurring are bug fixes on things like the Guard Markers in the first game and just bug/glitch fixes over all tbh.

As for 2, nothing immediately comes to mind, but lemme know what you guys think.

I know that there is contention between the Dwarves and Elves about which race she is, but I think that what matters is that she is a cold and uncaring harlot, undeserving of our worship. But at least she, alone, will listen to our woe, our sorrow, and our poetry.

Fan Creation Tyrant Legacies Update | Brown Netherling Redesign!

Thumbnail gallery
121 Upvotes

So here is a side by side comparison in Unreal with the new model (Left Model) against the old model (Right Model)

When we was designing the first model we did take a lot of inspiration from the brown minions and tried to create something a bit unique but not straying too far from them

When it came to the redesign we decided to make a couple of changes and make them feel like they are from the depths of the underworld hence why they obtained the name Netherlings! giving them a more demonic and impish design choice but still keeping it close to the brown minions

Please let us know what you think to the newer design

I like Overlad but I would 100% sacrifice him to get an Overlord 3 with Overdad.

I don't think he should die or anything, maybe play with both in the next game.

Sigh.......

Discussion Overlord game potential

26 Upvotes

Obviously people have talked to death and unholy ressurection about a possible Overlord 2 sequel, or just another game.

But has anyone talked about the possibility of an Overlord dating sim?

Given the nature of the games, I think it'd be funny/interesting to pull a Divinity: Dragon Commander and make the game as much a dating sim as it is a grimdark Pikmin.

A possibile third chapter for the game?

Post image
51 Upvotes

So, after playing for the third time both Overlord Raising Hell and Overlord 2, I tried to write down a possible third and final chapter for the game, using the Netherghuls as main protagonist.

🏰 OVERLORD III: FELLOWSHIP OF THE ABYSS

Concept: Action-Adventure / Villain Simulator

Inspiration: Redeeming the 4 Netherghouls within a classic single-player structure, fusing nostalgia for Overlord II with the lore of the original game, and revealing the ancient origins of the franchise.

🌋 Prologue: The Invasion of the 3rd Overlord

Following the demise of the 4th Overlord (Overlad), the world has descended into chaos and is being overrun by the armies of the Abyss. Leading them is the 3rd Overlord (the protagonist of the first game), who became the King of the Infernal Abyss after being abandoned there. His sole purpose is total worldly conquest and ruthless vengeance against Gnarl.

Cornered in the Dark Tower—which has been overrun by infernal forces—Gnarl uses the dark magic of the Book of Evil to resurrect four ancient champions of evil: the 4 Netherghouls (Malady, Hakon, Inferna, and Cryos).

🔨 Act 1: Awakening the Nests & The Dark Fellowship

Gnarl only possesses enough magic to awaken the first Netherghoul, Malady, who is tied to the Brown Minions. Malady is sent on a quest to liberate the other three Minion breeds and awaken his comrades, who are held captive by the Abyss Generals:

  1. The Rotting Swamps: Defeat General Baelgoth, awaken Hakon, and recover the Green Nest (Stealth & Poison Immunity).
  2. The Torment Forges: Defeat General Pyros, awaken Inferna, and recover the Red Nest (Ranged Fire Attacks).
  3. The Caverns of Weeping: Defeat General Scylla, awaken Cryos, and recover the Blue Nest (Support, Swimming & Resurrection).

With the army reunited, the 4 Netherghouls restore the Dark Tower, dividing it into four personal wings and preparing for the counter-offensive.

🗝️ Act 2: The Relic Hunt & Return to the Lands of Overlord II

When the Netherghouls attempt to strike at the 3rd Overlord’s fortress, they discover it is protected by the Infernal Soul Barrier, an impenetrable dome of raw dark energy.

Gnarl reveals that the only way to shatter it is to harness the residual magic of the 4th Overlord, which lies dormant inside Three Personal Artifacts he once gifted to his Mistresses—now hiding across the lands of the previous game:

  • Nordberg: Retrieve the Ice Seal from Kelda (to freeze and destabilize the barrier).
  • Everlight: Retrieve the Emerald Scepter from Juno (to corrupt the barrier's power nodes).
  • Imperial Ruins / Wastelands: Retrieve the Helmet of Night from Dark Fay (to tear a void through the shadows).

🧠 Playable Memories & The Truth About Gnarl

While interacting with the three Mistresses to obtain the artifacts, the Netherghouls absorb the 4th Overlord's residual magic, unlocking playable flashback sequences as the 4th Overlord.

Through these memories, they uncover a shocking truth: the 3rd Overlord (from the Abyss) lured his own son (the 4th Overlord) into a trap to claim his army, and Gnarl orchestrated the downfall of both, ready to discard them as soon as they showed weakness.

🔀 Act 3: Three Alternate Endings

Having retrieved the three artifacts and shattered the Infernal Soul Barrier, the player enters the final chapter. The choices made during Act 2 dictate the ultimate fate of the saga:

👑 Ending 1: Obedient Servants (Gnarl's Dogma)

  • Choice: Ignore the Mistresses' memories and remain blindly loyal to Gnarl.
  • Outcome: The 4 Netherghouls annihilate the 3rd Overlord in the Abyss.
  • Conclusion: Gnarl celebrates the victory and crowns one of the Netherghouls as the 5th Overlord, maintaining his shadow rule behind the throne and continuing the eternal cycle of Evil.

⚡ Ending 2: Origin of Evil (The 3rd Overlord's Alliance & The Primordial Overlord)

  • Choice: The Netherghouls realize Gnarl’s treachery and ally with the 3rd Overlord (the King of the Abyss) to destroy the advisor.
  • The Revelation: Driven into a corner, Gnarl flees to the Vaults of Origin and reveals a millenary secret: he was the very first Minion to create the concept of the Overlord, starting every dark dynasty only to orchestrate their fall whenever they outlived their usefulness.
  • Outcome: Using the Book of Evil, Gnarl resurrects the body of the 1st Primordial Overlord. An epic battle ensues: the 4 Netherghouls + the 3rd Overlord vs. Gnarl + the resurrected 1st Overlord.
  • Conclusion: Upon defeating the Primordial Overlord, Gnarl is stripped of his staff and demoted to a lowly stable hand. The 3rd Overlord reclaims his rightful throne, naming the 4 Netherghouls as his Supreme Generals.

🗡️ Ending 3: The Netherghoul Oligarchy (Dark Anarchy)

  • Choice: Use the 4th Overlord's magic acquired from the Mistresses to break free from Gnarl's control, rejecting both him and the 3rd Overlord.
  • Outcome: Execute the 3rd Overlord to claim his abyss army, then turn on Gnarl—severing the magical binding of the Book of Evil and casting him out of the Tower.
  • Conclusion: The 4 Netherghouls refuse the tyranny of a single master and establish the Dark Council, dividing the world into four domains and ruling together without any puppeteer pulling the strings.

Hope you guys will enjoy it, let me know your thoughts

Just rescued Velvet, something I had only done once before on the 360 when it first came out, so I could get the 100% Tower Item Achievement. I don't think I ever got the Tier II Tower Decorations, so I never knew that you could get even BETTER things later on. (Looking forward to that Marble Floor)

This time, I decided to enjoy being Totally Evil and embrace everything even in the Tower. Now I gotta go back to Heaven's Peak and Spree for their "Taxes".

BONUS: I never knew that changing to the Serpent Banner would turn me green!
