Managed to finish off most of the rest of the Dwarven areas in Overlord today and set up the ‘Trojan Statue’, except the brewery, for which I think I have to come back later. Despite the seeming non-linear layout, there are many steps which have to be done in a certain order, switching between specific areas to do so. The ability to roam freely is mostly just to clear out monsters ahead of time and find powerups.
I finished off by clearing out the Understreets in Heaven’s Peak, finally netting the next forge upgrade in the process. I now have a shiny new set of armour and a more ominous-looking axe, but they’re not enchanted yet. You have to sacrifice minions to add enchantments to them, and I’ve been afraid to do so for fear of finding the next forge too quickly and having wasted minions on obsolete equipment. There’s only one more forge upgrade though, so once I get that, it’s sacrificin’ time.
