How to unlock the Scrooge achievement in Overlord II - Definitive Guide
At Empire Harbor, there are about 600 gold around the teleport. Destroy everything including boxes and bottles!
Simply travel between those to teleports. This achievement costs lots of time.
1. Travel to Everlight temple
2. Go up the curved stairs and stand on the switch to open the secret room.
3. Go back down past the teleport up the big stairs and onto the ledge along the side.
4.There are 3 chests in the middle of this ledge(460 gold), and 2 on the end(320 gold) (near the secret room) smash them.
5. Go in secret room and smash these chests too.(500 gold)
6. Run back along the ledge and out of the area (staight ahead)
7. Turn round and re-enter the previous area, repeat from step 2.
Now the maths:
If you starting from 0gold it'll take about 40 run throughs.
Each run through takes about 1min50secs.
So from scratch it'll take about 1hour 15mins.
If you wanna workout how long it'll take you do;
(50,000 - current gold)/1300 = Runs needed
(Runs needed*110)/60 = Time in minutes
Easiest way to get this is at Everlight Temple.
Simply teleport there and open the Door to get to the treasure chests.
You don't have to teleport you just need to leave and re-enter the ares through the Gate on top of the stairs.
You'll get around 1200-1300 Gold per turn.
Keep teleporting between Nordberg Town Gate 2 and Everlight Town Gate 1 and grab all the chests right outside the gates.
Give it a try and let me know what you think!
The easiest way is to do the following:
1. Travel to Everlight temple
2. Go up the curved stairs and stand on the switch to open the secret room.
3. Go back down past the teleport up the big stairs and onto the ledge along the side.
4. There are 3 chests in the middle of this ledge, and 2 on the end.
5. Go in secret room and smash all the chests. You'll have about 1300 gold per round.
6. Run back along the ledge and go straight out of the area.
7. Turn round and re-enter the previous area, repeat from step 2.
It takes about 40 rounds to complete if starting from scratch.
You must possess the 50,000 at one time, so as you play through the game be thrifty with your upgrades. Best done at the end of the game when you have most areas unlocked. If you're a domination Overlord Nordberg Gate 2 has a lot of Chests right beside the gate; so does Everlight Town Gate 1. Simply cycle between both of these until the chests become smaller. They can only be collected so many times before this happens. The number of them depends on the population of each town.
The next fastest method is to gate to Everlight Temple. There is a switch up the stairs to the left of the gate as you exit that unlocks a secret area. There are also 5 chests close to the walls on the way up to that room. Each run should net you about 1000-1400 gold.
Domination Method
For this method you must have enslaved a part of the population in Nordgberg Town, so they will mine gold for you and each time you enter Nordberg Town you will have gold in some chests next to the last Portal/Teleportation, thus leaving for an exit soon behind and back there will be more chests to collect.
Destruction Method
This way you have the option to go to Everlight Temple, there will be some gold chests where there is a Mana Upgrade, further on there will be a secret room that you open when climbing a curved stair near this place, there will be more chests and a Dark Crystal, collecting all the chests, exit through the exit to Everlight Town and go back to reset the chests.
note: It is important that you save each gold in the game, as the achievement unlocks as soon as you collect 50,000 in total, so you can't spend 30,000 now and collect 20,000 later because the achievement will not be unlocked
This is not cumulative, this is unlocked when you have 50,000 gold at once. You should be conservative with your money and farm this later in the game. You want to go between the Empire Harbor gate and the Everlight Temple gate. Between these to you'll get 1500 gold per trip and will take an hour to farm this.
After receiving the trophy, it is recommended to save and get the Tyrant of the Tower trophy
There is also a secret room in the Everlight Temple location - there are 1000-2000 gold in the chests. You can go into it endlessly.
