> Installed failed as it couldn't find the Clover EFI folder.

@Danoldo,
It sounds like MultiBeast can not copy the files it needs from the UniBeast USB drive.
Did you unplug the UniBeast USB drive before running MultiBeast?

My question is, once the Mac OS High Sierra desktop pops up...the only thing I did was get EFI mounter V3, mounted the EFI on the USB disk, then I went into the Install macOS High Sierra partition(USB) and dragged Multibeast over, unzipped it, and put Multibeast into the applications folder, and then I ran it.

From there, I ran multibeast with your options you say to select...then when I clicked install, I got a failure at FakeSMC.

I have now since rebooted the machine, I have mounted the EFI partition(USB drive) and then I have multibeast open(same one)....should I attempt to re-run the process? I am wanting to know if I need to create or drag any files from the USB EFI Folder to the BootDrive.
 
After the macOS install, my local EFI partition had /EFI/Apple,
but no /EFI/Clover or /EFI/Boot.
Those two folders did not exist until I ran MultiBeast.
-----------
On a separate note,
I could not reliably boot from the 6 rear USB ports until I got the USB fix installed.
Try booting from the front USB ports instead.
-----------
If you wanted to do the deed manually, you could try this:

mount the USB's EFI partition
mount the NVME's EFI partition

make a safe backup copy of the NVMe's EFI folder, in case we mess up.

copy USB/EFI/EFI/Clover to NVMe/EFI/EFI/Clover
copy USB/EFI/EFI/Boot to NVMe/EFI/EFI/Boot

I’m about to fall in love with you if this works. Which will be both strange and a paradox because I’m just not clovered that way. However, if this computer was for me and not someone else, I’d be getting less frustrated. I plan on doing this to my computer once this is complete because I do find this fun, but not when it’s a gift and the time is ticking.

Let me try this first.

1) I’m first going to swap the usb to front and then the change the boot option in bios to nvme drive.

2) I’ll try this after if it doesn’t work .
 
I just encountered this problem, and it was due to running EFI Mounter v3.1 to mount disk0s1 as /Volumes/EFI in order to execute /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Merge ASUS_ACPI :ACPI:DSDT:" /Volumes/EFI/EFI/CLOVER/config.plist

As mentioned above, rebooting probably would solve it because it would unmount that. To do it without the invasive-reboot, simply run EFI Mounter again, select (in my case) disk0s1, and unmount it.

After I did that, Multibeast installed/ran successfully.

Bonus data:
- When my Multibeast was failing, there was an EFI icon on my desktop; after unmounting, it disappeared (obviously)
- A person could probably open Finder and eject the EFI volume via that Eject button (I didn't test this but it might be faster than running EFI Mounter again)
