Overlord (2007)/Tower

Your tower consists of 5 sections, the first is the main room which contains your throne and the "tower heart". When standing at your throne you will notice 4 stairwells, these are only opened as you progress through the game and lead to the following locations;
 * Left near stairwell, leads to the Forge
 * Left far stairwell, leads to the Training Room
 * Right near stairwell, leads to the Upper Floor
 * Right far stairwell, leads to the Dungeon

Training Room
The first section you are allowed access too. Used to teach you the basic controls of the Overlord.

Dungeon
The dungeon is a good place to harvest evil energy to create more minions, either for the Forge or game progression. You can fight all the enemies you have killed within your current game. You can choose as many of each minion as your overlord can control, but you can not use mana to kill enemies.

Forge
Use to upgrade you helmet, armor and weapons. You will need both gold and minions to upgrade your proffered item. You can obtain more minions from fights in the Dungeon.

Steel Smelter
Found in Mellow Hills, after the red hive is earned. Locate the farmland behind Spree Village. There's a wrecked area past the burning house with the smelter. Steel is only used for upgrading items, not forging them, unless you have more gold than the pearly white gates of heaven. Although maxing out your steel set is not necessary, you may be able to create another save file, max out your steel set for the achievement (if there is one) and simply reload your old game.
 * 175 - Weapons
 * 325 - Armor
 * 675 - Helmet

Durium Smelter
Found in the Understreets (Heaven's Peak), use red minions to remove the firewall. The undead inside are susceptible to auto-rape ... with Anger or Berserk added to the mix. Durium is useful around the middle of the game, when 575 brown minions ups the Overlord's defence immeasurably but a properly done Steel Armor will let you weather most problems until you grab the Arcanium smelter. Forge these Durium items for the achievements later (note you may want to create other save games so you can forge/max out a complete set of Durium, get the achievement, then quit and load your existing game).
 * 300 - Weapons
 * 575 - Armor
 * 1150 - Helmet

Arcanium Smelter
Found in the Arcanium Mine (Golden Hills). Use red minions to scramble the fire and access the mine. Tip: go through the slug nest first and kill the boss slug before going through the Dwarf flamethrowers; this way, when you get the smelter, you can get to the exit easily. You should spend the lifeforce and money to max out your Arcanium weapon (you only need one), armor and helmet for best results.
 * 500 - Weapons
 * 1000 - Armor
 * 2000 - Helmet

Gold Room
The more gold you have acquired the fuller the room is.

Personal Quarters
The main bedroom of the Overlord and his Mistress.

Tower Modification Room
Use the model of the tower to buy modifications.
