Control Everlight Town

Overlord 2 Guide - Side Quests

Control Everlight Town

After conquering Everlight Town, you can either kill or enslave the population to fully control it. There are 100 villagers in the town, but you are only able to reach 80 of them initially. To get to the last 20 villagers, you'll need to complete the “Rebels in Everlight Town” quest, which will appear as “An Everlightian Requests an Audience” in the quest list on the Throne interface after you've completed “Into the Depths.”

To complete this quest, you need to either kill all 100, or enslave all 100. To kill a villager, you need to lock-on and either hit him or her with your weapon, or overcharge your Target spell. To enslave a villager, lock-on and hold down the X/Square button until the villager begins to get down on his or her knees (likely as soon as he or she begins to lose health), at which point immediately release the button to avoid overcharging the spell and killing him or her. Keep an eye on the villager's health bar if you're planning to enslave them, as they may not fall to their knees in time; if their health falls to the half-way point, release the spell, as they have surely been subdued by then.

Enslave or destroy the population of Everlight Town.

Targeted villagers will attempt to escape, so you can use your Brown Minions to pin them down; simply lock onto the fleeing villager and hold down the RT/R2 button to send them in.

The destruction path yields quick Gold and Lifeforce Orbs, but enslaving the town yields gradual Gold, Lifeforce Orbs, and equipment for your Minions. There are three or four villagers hiding in each of the houses in the town; you can force them out by breaking the door down. You can sweep your Minions into the house once the door is down to destroy it; doing so will yield some more gold.

If you've enslaved some villagers, you can collect Gold from the mining spots around town at, and you can also find equipment for your Minions by working slaves at anvils. Furthermore, look for Lifeforce bar counters to find villagers producing Lifeforce Orbs and wine.

Visit Lifeforce bars to collect orbs produced by enslaved villagers.

Destroying the entire village will increase your Destruction tyranny rating, while enslaving the population will increase your Domination tyranny rating. It's best to play Overlord II making either all Destruction choices or all Domination choices if you have interest in earning achievements/trophies, as several are unlocked by being consistent.

If you're planning to enslave Everlight Town, refer to the “Rebels in Everlight Town” section of this guide for important info.
