- Easy 'Gnome Grinder', 'Minion Hoarder', 'Minion Lover' achievements
When you begin the mission to search for the Green Minions, you will have to sneak into a castle using your Minions. While you are in there, you will discover a few pressure plates that release gnomes as a distraction to the enemies. However, as long as there are still enemies in the castle the gnomes will keep spawning. This allows you to not only get the 1,000 kills of a gnome quickly, you will also be collecting crystals, gold, and Lifeforce orbs while doing so. -From: Jacob K.

- Finding more people
There are 100 people in Nordberg and Everlight. In addition to the approximately 50 people wandering through the towns, you can find others by breaking down the doors of the houses.

- Easy 'Gnome Grinder' achievement
After you have collected all of the Tower Heart shards, take it to Queen Fay so she can repair it. After the cutscene, take the Tower Heart to the sanctuary dungeon to power it up with the shrines. After you have charged the Tower Heart at the first shrine, you, your minions, and the Tower Heart will fall. When you find the Tower Heart, it will be sitting on top of a gnome hole that spawns an infinite amount of gnomes. Position all your minions next to the hole by using the guard marker. When you have your minions where you want them, remove five minions so that you can move the Tower Heart to a safe location. When you think the Tower Heart is out of you way, put all your minions on top of the gnome hole. The gnomes will die as they jump out of the hole. Walk back to the Netherworld Gate, but do not go into the gate. This will require about twenty minutes. Notice: Do not get too close to the gnome hole, because the gnomes will run past your minions and attach themselves to you.

- Easy dominance
To dominate a town, over 50% of the town must be enslaved. Thus, only enslave 60 villagers in each town, and exterminate the rest. This will make it dominated, and you will not have to run all over the town looking for the rest of the villagers. -From: Demos

- Easy magic crystals
When doing the 'Repair The Tower Heart' quest, go to the last sanctuary in the wasteland after collecting the tower heart shards and returning to Faye. When you enter the room where the heart is lodged in a gnome hole, move the heart after positioning ten brown minions at the bottleneck near the netherworld portal, and five red minions behind them for precautionary measures. The gnomes coming out of the hole and trying to attack you will run into your minions. Acquire all the crystals for easy money. You can also get the 'Gnome Grinder' achievement. -From: Demos

- Easy gold
Overcome the spider Boss in Everlight Temple. Use the elevator to exit. After you have the Netherworld Gate to this zone unlocked, return to the temple, and open the secret room at the top of the stairs by using the Overlord switch. You can collect at least 1,000 gold from the treasure chests inside the secret room. Warp to Nordburg Town Gate 3 to reset the temple area. You can also loot the treasure chests next to the Tower Gate. Go back and forth between those two areas to get easy gold.


Enslave both Nordberg and Everlight for large chests of gold that spawn when the area is reset. Teleport between the two to collect from both and reset each for your return. Each set of chests contains at least 1,000 gold. Notice: You must completely dominate a town to get 1,000 gold from chest spawning sites. All 100 citizens must be enslaved; for each 10 citizens not enslaved will result in 100 gold being subtracted (for example, 90 people enslaved results in 900 gold). -From: Demos

- Easy 'Perfect Horde' achievement
When completely dominating towns, use the weapons produced by the villagers to maximize the attack power of your horde. Get the maximum horde size of 50 minions and reach maximum attack power to unlock the 'Perfect Horde' achievement.

- Ultimate horde
After finishing the assault on Empire City, return to find no troops, several boxes with the highest grade armor and weapons, and over 2,000 gold per visit. -From: Demos

- Easy Lifeforce
Notice: By the time you get to this area you should have picked up two Forge Stones. Go to Forge, and buy the Evil Eye Helmet. This gives you two Lifeforces instead of one for each collected. Go to the area where you need to recover the Green Hive. When you are making your way out with it, you will reach an area with two big opponents that shoot the blue beam gun. One will be roaming up top, and the other stands next to a wheel to open the door next to him. In the same room is a floor plate to release the gnomes behind a cage door. Release the gnomes, and use them to help kill both of the blue beam gun opponents. After they are dead, return to the gnome cage and open it again. They will keep respawning. Try setting yourself near the top of the stairs going down while facing toward the cage. Then, send out your minions. While they are out hunting, set your controller to keep sending out minions. When not killing, they are collecting Lifeforce at double the rate due to the helmet.


After gaining the green hive, return to Everlight fortress. Get at least ten reds and whatever minions of the other colors desired. Go to the center of the courtyard where you hear the gnomes. Place the reds at the bottom of the stairs facing the gnome's prison, then activate the switch to let them out. The gnomes will run out but will be scared of the reds and move back. About five or six gnomes will run out at a time. Allow the reds to scare them into the corner. After some time when you think there are a reasonable amount of gnomes, send the rest of the horde up there to kill them off quickly. Some might get past you. Either let them go or track them down and kill them. You will only receive red, brown, and green Lifeforces. If done correctly, you should have no problem killing 1,000 gnomes and will never have to worry about running low on your favorite color minions.
