Die, Chair, Die!: One way to leave yourself a crumb trail is to smash everything to splinters.The sequel suggests that darkness is somewhat necessary for when Light Is Not Good and becomes its own evil, however. Some games present options for being a good guy with scary armor while Overlord II has you merrily massacring hippies while slaughtering stadium crowds. Dark Is Not Evil: The game teeters back and forth on this option.or you could just detour to heaven's peak to grab the blues, return, and order them to attack the ghosts directly. Cutting the Knot: In the Mother Goddess Temple, you're meant wait for the guardian elf ghosts to wander behind these doors attached to special cranks, and then send minions to those cranks to shut the doors, which will only remain shut for as long as you have minions allocated to those cranks.until they fall to Evil or tyranny in turn, starting the cycle anew. Genuine heroes eventually rise to fight the Overlord and temporarily make it a decent place to live.

The conceit is that an efficient evil Overlord is likely preferable to well-intentioned (or not so well-intentioned) incompetent rulers. Crapsack World: This is the default state of the Overlord's world.Colonel Bogey March: The Minions will sometime whistle this while on the move.Some aspects of the tower lair also change, such as the color of the sky and how many spikes jut out of the ground around it. Character Model Karma Meter: The appearance of the Overlord's armor changes based on their Corruption (steel-grey with a red cape at 0% corruption, dark grey with a black cape and Spikes of Villainy at max corruption).Catchphrase: Gnarl's catchphrase is "Evil always finds a way.".Mostly, Gnarl carries the card for you (since you are a Villainous Mime) and takes great pleasure in expanding on the 'evilness' of things. The final boss of the game is also the Overlord (the real Overlord, who wiped the PC's memory so he'd reconquer the land for him) and the protagonist of the second game is a new Overlord, initially named the Overlad while he's still a child. Canon Identifier: In the first game you play as, appropriately enough, the Overlord.You're more a Knight in Shining Armor at lower corruption levels. Black Knight: In the first game, your armor gets blacker the closer you get to 100% corruption, with Spikes of Doom sprouting from your skin.All of the games also has a major villain who rivals the current Overlord.
