Impossible to find the Overlord? (SPOILER)

"A somewhat rare drop" ...yeah, that appears to be an understatement...
I've killed Hades a ridiculous number of times now (Just to give you an idea of how many times: I've gained more than 1,500.000 XP just from killing him) and still no Overlord-drop...

Is it supposed to be THIS rare, or could something be wrong?

You are going to hate me for this but my latest character found it on the first time that he killed Hades in Normal....

My question is what level is your character? If he is 60+ then it might pay to run Epic Hades since you should be able to complete that a lot faster than say trying to run legendary (which is a lot riskier and time consuming).

I have a friend who also found the overlord on the first try. My character is lvl 55 and I've been killing Hades on epic. Still no overlord

I would seriously try running Hades in Normal if it is faster for you. It honestly took me so long to find my first Overlord with my 65th level Spirit/Warfare char that I had to give up....Only until I had built 2 more characters to beyond 60th level did I finally get an Overlord....I suggest that you continue on through to complete the game in Legendary first then maybe revisit it. Even though the Overlord place is supposedly a good place for items I personally think for the amount of risk involved with Nate and Toxeous its not worth it....I would rather run Hades for items anyways safer and you get the opportunity to kill a few sub bosses along the way (that could also potentially drop items)...

Hmm, ok... Well, epic goes pretty much as fast as normal for me and during the 60+ runs I've done so far Hades has dropped a huge load of purples and relics. So at least it hasn't been a total waste of time.

I still want the overlord though. I'm curious about the new bosses

you could also open up a trade server and name it need overlord key, if you get tired of making hades run.

I don't think you can trade the Overlord? Would make sense but no I don't think you can.

if you really would want the overlord you always can use the TQHephaestus from TQMM but that isnt really recommended

I've found it twice. first one on my third hades run on normal, second one on my fifth run, so i now have a spare one. I regret to inform you this, but the overlord is not tradeable, since it is a quest item(i assume(though you can join a game a make someone open the gate for you, that'll give you at least one free run)).

Didn't know about the Overlord until it dropped from Hades. Playing it on Normal, and I'm just running through and killing Hades everytime I boot up TQ.

I remembered the iron gate near Rhodes and thought I would check it out. The gates opened, I followed the path to a temple and fought (but couldn't kill) a floating eyeball named ~V~.

Went down the stairs and found a huge tortoise named Dave. Uh... I'm continuing to investigate as I have no idea what's in store. =P

....

Woah. Now that's an ending. And the Overlord is shaped like Gronk's Apology.

::edit::

Found it a second time, the NEXT time I defeated Hades.

I found it in multiplayer my only time and I thought it was an easter egg so I dropped it LOL No secret passage for me
