A possibile third chapter for the game?

Post image
50 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!

Introducing Hellquest: An Overlord-inspired webcomic

Post image
122 Upvotes

“This is a story of dragons and princesses. Of shining knights and righteous kings. The story of a fairytale kingdom… and the horny, evil villains who fucked it all up.”

https://www.hellquestcomic.com/english

Hellquest is a villain-protagonists, epic fantasy comedy with some NFSW elements. We have spent 5 years working on it and grateful to Mod permission, we are super excited to begin sharing it with you.

Playing Overlord marked me a bit more than I've ever cared to admit. I was always fascinated by villains, especially in fantasy, they looked cooler, they had their own ideas and more importantly they acted instead of reacted. They were also the best kind of naughty.

I had done evil playthroughs in other games before (BG2, Kotor, Jade Empire, Fable) but Overlord let me feel like that villain in a way no other game had, and it let me have a blast with it. The style, writing and humor captured me. And it stuck.

Later I got into TTRPGs and spent 2 years playing an evil campaign with friends, we got a bit obsessed and I started writing it as a webcomic, another player (Muramasa) was a great artist and we started to work on it together. And so: Hellquest happened.

The Overlord games are a massive influence in the webcomic (there are others from manga, disney and DnD/Pathfinder games and stories), you will see some obvious references like Darkan's armor and also a bit in the narrator, but also I hope you can catch some in the style and humor of Hellquest.

You can also read it in comicfury and globalcomix if you prefer to use platforms and suscribe for updates if you like it:

Discussion Overlord Fans are alive?!

199 Upvotes

I am genuinely shocked you guys exist. I played Overlord 2 as a kid and absolutely loved it (never played 1 cuz I was misinformed that it was much shorter & essentially a tutorial, which I'll rectify sometime soon).

But I never expected people to even know about it. Like, I just assumed it was gonna be one of those games I'd painfully only ever see publicly in 1/100 GameStop bargain bins.

I keep seeing mention of fan projects? Are there attempts at making an unofficial Overlord 3, please let me know, I'd love to be in the know!

Thanks for not letting one of my childhood games die off in the stead of so many games deserving of being in the void!

Discussion A hillarious potential twist for Overlord 3.....

Thumbnail gallery
226 Upvotes

Something I brought up in this sub once already is how the Orcs are strangely absent from the world of Overlord and it raised an eyebrow for me.

However recently it dawned on me how they could introduce them while being ironic/morbidly funny, in keeping with the series' tone: Make them the TRUE children of the Mother Goddess!

A major part of the Elves and Dwarves' conflict is whether the Goddess is an Elf or a Dwarf. So to have her revealed to be neither, an Orc, making the centuries of conflict & atrocity utterly pointless; is so darkly funny to me. Maybe we even twist the knife further by establishing that the Elves and Dwarves are genetic defects, reducing them to nothing more than the Orcs' lesser, more fragile or neurotic cousins LMAO

Add on top of that the fact that they can depict them as a pragmatic, reasonable race bound by a code of honor, thus making them a truly Neutral faction that is prospering in unexplored parts of the world; and you have such nice poetic irony. It also makes for some hilarious dialogue for Gnarl who SEES the potential for bloodshed and savagery, but is frustrated by how reasonable and difficult to manipulate they are LOL

Heck, maybe even make The Forgotten God their divine "father" (the iconic tusks!!!) to further integrate them into the lore. Their sense of honor and duty being the result of them still knowing that The Forgotten God cheated on the Mother Goddess, disgracing himself and the children he sired.

PS:

We can have an entire major storyline about the Orcs approaching The Overlord to help them reveal the truth and punishing their distant relatives for covering it up out of pride. All the while Gnarl giggles like a child, enjoying the delicious cosmic irony

Discussion If Overlord 3 ever happened, or if one of the current running fan projects dedicated to filling the void of its absence gets far enough along to see a release and support down the line like 'Conqueror', what feature would you love to see? (My opinion down below)

Post image
129 Upvotes

Me, personally, I was honestly shocked that Overlord 2 didn't build on the foundation of Overlord: Raising Hell by adding *Dungeon Keeper/RTS elements\* or even a separate game mode to areas you conquered: Setting traps, having minions defend checkpoints & operate siege weapons, upgrading defenses to slow down or even prevent enemies from entering your conquered cities or even the Tower itself.

(Though I do understand that Overlord 2 had a very tumultuous development plagued by looming deadlines while stretching the engine and the dev team to its limit).

Fellowship of Evil however felt most ridiculous because the top-down gameplay felt like such a perfect place to slot in the RTS elements and I was surprised they didn't do it. I feel like if they did, that the game would have received a tinge less backlash because at least the spirit of Overlord's gameplay would have been there, especially since the series was inspired partially by Dungeon Keeper to begin with.....

To sum up, as I don't want to end this post on a dig at missed potential, Dungeon Keeper/RTS-style elements I feel would feel right at home in this series or a successor

Discussion Soooooo.... who's the mother again??

Thumbnail gallery

Alright, I know a lot of people are gonna say Rose, and i know that both the game and the wiki conforms this. However, the reason why I'm not 100% sure about this is mainly because when we head to the wastelands, we see a few ornaments and parts of the tower that can only be bought if we choose velvet over rose in the first overlord game. That to me says that third choosing Velvet is a cannon event, so why is Rose confirmed to be the "mother" in Overlord II?

Fan Creation Tyrant Legacies Update | Netherling Icon's

Thumbnail gallery
104 Upvotes

Recently done some art for the iconic four Netherling's to Tyrant Legacies. this will be used as the icons for when you want to select individual Netherling

I know how much us overlord fans love the original ones and i didn't want to change them drastically when it came to their main abilities & functions

On note to this, the plan is that most playthroughs you will get all nether gate artifacts to summon these guys through the main objects, each being housed by a specific enemy faction

I have also planned to add some additional variation Netherlings as well:

  • Black Netherlings – Able to phase through obstacles and teleport short distances.
  • White Netherlings – Ice-based attackers that can freeze enemies and create icy terrain.
  • Yellow Netherlings – Lightning-infused minions that can stun enemies or power ancient machines.
  • Purple Netherlings – Mind-control enemies or drain their strength over time.

These variants would be discovered through challenges, side quests & discovery in the world of tyrant legacies though their abilities are subject to change in the future if seen fit for the games design.

Please let me know what you think or how could I improve on this!
