Overlord 2 Guide - A Tormented Childhood Beginning in Nordberg

 This is the first part of the game. You start as a young “Overlad” who is tormented by the other children. The town is called Nordberg. At first, you will not be very powerful. You will need to prove yourself. The other children attack you with snowballs, so you need to let them know that you are not someone to mess with.

Attack them with your club (use the A button on your Xbox 360 controller) and cause havoc by knocking over some snowmen etc. It may be a bit confusing on where you need to go, so use the small map located at the bottom left of your screen. This map shows you where key items and quest locations you need to head towards. Current objectives are noted by exclamation points in black and white.

Continue following the snowy path to cause more destruction. Look for a large rocket. Use your magic to light the rocket (X button) which causes some more damage. Shortly after, you will run into some brown minions who will help you.

Move along the path using the map as a guide. Use your minions to cause more damage to the area by destroying snowmen, boxes and other breakable items. Look for an area that is blocked off by a gate. Be sure to move up to this gate, since it will trigger your next mission.

Continuing with this Overlord 2 walkthrough, you will need to find a way into the town area. A young girl named Kelda, wants to help you out and tells you to follow her. She quickly moves through a pathway that is just south west of the locked gate. This is a wooden tunnel pathway that leads to an area where the other children are hidden.

In this area you will see a large snow covered wall that appears to have no way in. As you stand in front of it, guide your minions to the dirt pathway to the left of you. Continue moving them across the wall area until they encounter the children. After they attack them, call your minions back to you (B button on your Xbox 360 controller). To the right of you there is a rocket which you can light to break through the wall that is blocking you.

Light the rocket and walk up the pathway to the children's hideout. You realize that the best way to get into the town is in disguise. So target the children’s hideout with your left trigger button (LT), and use the right trigger button (RT) to send all your minions in to steal their clothes.

 Once your minions are all in disguise, you head back to the pathway where Kelda guided you originally. Now when you go to the gate, the guards will let you all in.

Apparently, there is a party going on, but you don’t have time to play. You need to get to the town square. Use your map to help guide you to the appropriate location. It will be a platform that is blocked by a couple of townsfolk. Behind them is another rocket. Use the Overlad and light it up using his magic. This causes more destruction.

At this point, Kelda shows up again and asks you to follow her. You reach an area where you observe the Emperor speaking to the local townspeople about the threat of a magic user and that there is one in the town. The Nordberg townspeople are unaware of this except for one man who says, “There is one!”The Overlad is then thrown out into a snow area below.

 Despite being cast out from the town of Nordberg, the Overlad needs to continue moving forward. He will run into more minions who will be there to help him. You will run into knights along the way who will attack, so just sweep your minions over them and let them do the dirty work. The Overlad does not appear to do much damage, so you may as well have them do it.

Find your way to an area that is blocked off by a pile of stones. You will need to find away through this. To your right you will see a catapult that is guarded by a couple of fighters. Take out the ones that are blocking your way. Walk over to the catapult. Guide a bunch of minions (target the catapult using LT and direct them with the RT button). This will cause the minions to help you control the catapult’s artillery. The Overlad can then use the catapult. Push the A button to get into the catapult’s interface. Use the RS button to turn the catapult and the RT button to shoot. Target the catapult over to the stone pile, which is now guarded by a bunch of knights. The catapult will take out the knights and break through the stones, clearing your pathway. Use the B button on your Xbox 360 controller to get off of the catapult.

At this point in the Overlord 2 walkthrough, move through the new pathway. You will now run into wolves, which the brown minions can ride. Target one with the LT button on your Xbox 360 controller (when highlighted will look green) and direct the minions towards it. A minion will “tame” the wolf and will mount him.

Continue guiding your minions, attacking more enemies along the way until you reach an area that has a bunch of cages and boxes. As you break through all this stuff, you run into a Yeti with one eye (isn’t that a Cyclops?), who was kept captive by the enemies you have encountered. This yeti then follows you around as you explore areas. Be sure to keep an eye on the Yeti as he will break through a barrier into an area you need to go into. After following the Yeti into the broken stone barrier, he thanks you and jumps up and down into some ice, which knocks him and the Overlad into the icy water.
