001. The End Plague
Description: Win one game with any disease type and any difficulty

It's obvious, isn't it?

Well, not that obvious I guess.
  • Use Bacteria on Casual difficulty. Start in China.
  • Devolve any mutated symptoms.
  • Evolve Air 1-2, Water 1-2, Extreme Bioaerosol, Cold Resistance 1, Heat Resistance 1 and Drug Resistance 1. Wait until all human beings become infected.
  • Stop devolving symptoms. Evolve Coughing, Sneezing, Immune Supression, Total Organ Failure, Anaemia, Haemophilia, Internal Haemorrhaging, Haemorrhagic Shock and any other symptoms you like.
  • You win! Cheers!

-But how about Cure? -Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about.
002. The Bottle Smasher
Description: Smash a Blue cure bubble and slow down the Research Team

When the cure is in development, research teams travel all over the world and leave a blue cure bubble behind. Pop it, done!
003. Evolve Your Disease
Description: Evolve your disease to become stronger

Spend DNA points to upgrade your disease. Any traits will do.
004-010. XXX Victory
7 achievements are involved in this series:
- 004. Bacteria Victory
- 005. Virus Victory
- 006. Fungus Victory
- 007. Parasite Victory
- 008. Prion Victory

Description: Win a game with XXX on Normal Difficulty or higher

Just to remind, you can't get the achievement on Casual difficulty.
011. Unlock Cheatmodes
Description: Unlock the cheats by winning a game on Brutal for ALL disease types

As the description: Immune Strain, Hidden Strain, Unlimited Strain and Turbo Strain will be unlocked after you have beaten the game on Brutal for all disease types.

Furthermore, winning the game on Mega-Brutal for all diseases grants you access to another two cheat modes: Shuffle Strain and Lucky Dip Strain, which are related to achievements 125-128.
012-013. Russian/China Nuclear Retaliation
This series contains 2 achievements:
012. Russian Nuclear Retaliation
013. Chinese Nuclear Retaliation

Description: Make the USA nuke Russia/China

Start as Prion on Brutal.
Note: Prion is the best for specific achievements that have several pop-up news.
  • Start in USA and evolve Drug Resistance 1-2
  • Evolve some transmission traits and infect the whole world, devolve any symptoms mutated
  • Now start killing people. Evolve Fever to kill in a slow pace. Also, don't forget to evolve Neural Atrophy 1-2-3 and Genetic Hardening 1-2 to slow down the cure
  • When the US population drops by 10-50%, you will receive a message:" USA President Taken Ill"
  • Evolve Insanity and wait for the next message:" New President of USA Selected"
  • Evolve Cold Resistance 1-2 if you want USA nuke Russia, or Bird 1-2 for China
  • A message "USA Threaten Russia / USA Threaten China" will pop up eventually
  • Evolve Paralysis and wait for victory:" USA Nukes Russia/China"

Here's a much more detailed guide made by Hahkun. Thank you, Hahkun!
http://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=296151565
014. Plague in Space
Description: Infect astronauts before they launch a space mission

Start as Prion on Normal difficulty. (Of course Prion!)

  • Start wherever you like and evolve Air 1 & 2 + Water 1 & 2 + Extreme Bioaerosol
  • Remain hidden until you have infected the whole world.
  • Now evolve some non-lethal symptoms and low-lethal symptoms (e.g. Coughing, Pneumonia, Fever, Tumours) to draw attention.
  • Wait for "Space Cure mission planned" pop-up. Save your progress at this point.
  • Now wait for "Space Cure mission launches!" pop-up.
  • Evolve some lethal symptoms, like Internal Haemorrhaging and Systemic Infection, to kill those astronauts and leave them in space permanently
  • In the end, you'll receive a message stating that space cure mission has failed.

Note: Mechanism behind this event is still a mystery. In order to get this achievement, please be patient.
015. Olympic Spoiler
Description: Help the Olympics go viral in the UK

Compared to other in-game events, this one does not base on any condition and has a much higher probability to occur.

  • Start with any standard plagues on Normal. You will get a pop-up entitled "London Olympics Mystery", which indicates that Olympics is about to come back to London.
  • Keep evolving and infecting people. Wait for another pop-up "London Olympics Back On!"
  • Now it's imperative to infect UK before the third pop-up appears. Evolve any traits that may have a positive effect on infecting UK, such as Air & Water transmission, Cold Resistance and Drug Resistance.
  • If you manage to have UK infected, "London Olympics Infect UK" will eventually pop-up.
    In converse you'll receive "London Olympics a success" and it's time to try again.


Update
Telluric: "London 2012 mystery is now Rio 2016 Mystery"

Red_Menace013: "Humorously, although the name of the Olympics host country for the in-game pop-up has changed, the end result of completing it was actually left untouched - if you successfully infect the "Rio" Olympics, the U.K. still ends up getting infected and not Brazil..."
016. Touchscreen Trash
Description: Disrupt the iCure and stop it helping cure research

Another pure random event. Good luck!
You can start the game with any standard plague
Prion is highly recommended.

  • Start wherever you like. Do anything you want.
  • Your disease will get spotted eventually. And humans begin to develop a cure. During cure development, Apple$oft may announce a new device called "iCure". This event can be identified by a pop-up "iCure Device Announced".
  • After some time, iCure will be released globally. You'll receive "iCure Released Globally!" pop-up when this happens.
  • Evolve Sweating symptom. After a while, "iCure a Failure!" should pop up, along with an achievement prompt. Otherwise, "iCure a success!" will appear, which means you need a restart.

It can also be done with Necroa Virus, as long as you have evolved Hyper Salivation before iCure's global release.

And...it can also be done with Shadow Plague, as long as you have evolved Steroidal Boost before iCure's global release.
017. Oink oink
Description: Discover the Swineflu Combo

Evolve the following transmission and symptom traits:
- Livestock 1 & 2
- Coughing
- Pneumonia
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
Now wait for "Swine Flu Symptom Combo" pop-up, it may take some time

Combo Effect: Increase cure development work.
018. Red Rain
Description: Discover the Profuse Bleeding combo

Evolve Haemophilia and Skin Lesions symptoms. Wait for "Profuse Bleeding Symptom Combo" pop-up.

Combo Effect: Increases infectivity and lethality.
019. Contaminated Package
Description: Let humans spread the disease via blood transfusion

Evolve the following transmissions:
- Blood 1 & 2
- Insect 1 & 2
- Extreme Haematophagy
Now wait for "Contaminated blood in XXX" pop-up.

Please note that this event will no longer be able to trigger once all countries / regions are infected. Make sure you don't infect too fast. Retry if necessary.
020. Long Shot
Description: Discover the Projectile Vomiting combo

Evolve Coughing and Vomiting symptoms. Wait for "Projectile Vomiting Symptom Combo" pop-up.

Combo Effect: Increases infectivity.
021. Brainzzzz
Description: Discover the Waking Dead combo

Evolve Insomnia and Anaemia symptoms. Wait for "Waking Dead Symptom Combo" pop-up.
Not Walking Dead... Awwwww
Combo Effect: Decrease cure reasearch rate.
022. Brown Streets
Description: Discover the Public Defecation combo

Evolve Diarrhea and Insanity symptoms. Wait for "Public Defecation Symptom Combo" pop-up.

Combo Effect: Increases infectivity as well as cure research rate.
023. Uh Oh
Description: Discover the Oops symptom combo

Evolve Diarrhea and Sneezing symptoms. Wait for "Oops Symptom Combo" pop-up.

Combo Effect: Slightly increases infectivity and severity. Small penalty to cure research rate
024. STALKERs delight
Description: Cause a nuclear meltdown

Keep an eye on the news banner. Watch out for this message:" New round of nuclear tests considered". If this message shows up, save progress immediately. A nuclear meltdown will happen after your disease has cause few casualties. BOOM!
025. Peer Pressure
Description: Have your plague discovered after riots force a government investigation

This one is simple.
It is recommended to use Bacteria on Normal difficulty.

  • Start wherever you like. Evolve Coughing symptom only.
  • Infect more people by spending DNA points on transmission and ability traits. Devolve any symptoms other than Coughing.
  • Keep devolving symptoms. After the initial country / region has no healthy people left, these pop-ups should appear in order:
    - Rumours of mysterious illness in XXX
    - Protesters claim 'Mystery Plague' is Real
    - Riots in XXX over 'Mystery Plague'
    - 'Mystery Plague' is Real
  • You will acquire this achievement when the last pop-up shows up.
026. RMS Watch List
Description: Get your Plague on the RMS Watch List

Once your disease has been found, no matter how severe it is, it will eventually be placed on the watchlist.

Although it's placed on WHO watchlist rather than RMS watchlist now. Haha
027. Insane Bolt
Description: Sprint to victory and set a world record by winning the game with Bacteria in under 365 days

The description is partially wrong, because you don't have to set a world record. You just need to beat the game with Bacteria under one year.

Here is a step-by-step guide in case you don't know how to achieve it. Thank you, Robert!
http://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=231414705
028. Patient Who?
Description: Stop the CDC finding Patient Zero

Another event with some pop-ups. You know what to do: Prion and Normal difficulty.

  • Start wherever you like. Spread the plague with a few non-lethal symptoms, such as Coughing, Pneumonia and so on. Devolve any lethal symptoms.
  • Now wait for this message "CDC teams hunt 'Patient Zero'".
    Note: "Patient Zero" is a random event. You may want to save after this message appears.
  • Hang in there for the next incoming message "CDC teams close to 'Patient Zero'".
  • It's time to evolve some not-so-lethal symptoms like Necrosis and Dysentery. Don't kill people too fast, otherwise the game will end pretty soon.
  • CDC fails to identify 'Patient Zero' because of high casualties. Achievement unlocked!

Note: If cure research reaches 60% and theres still no message - try again.

Here's a guaranteed guide by elpfan77. Thank you, elpfan77!

053. Not Another Zombie Game
Description: Win a game with the Necroa Virus without making a single zombie

A tough achievement for sure.

1. Pre-game
This guide has been tested on Normal difficulty.
I recommend to try on Normal and strictly follow the instructions.

REMEMBER TO SAVE GAME anytime if necessary!

Start with genes:
  • ATP Boost
  • Creationist
  • Aerocyte
  • Extremophile
Necroa Virus special gene is no longer needed, since we don't create zombies.

2. Infection Stage
Objective 1: Infect everyone on the world while remaining hidden.
Objective 2: Leave at least 62 DNA points for next stage.

  • Start in India. Evolve Saliva 1, Zoonotic Shift and Bat 1 as soon as possible. Devolve any mutated symptoms in this stage.
  • Keep an eye on the news banner (top-left side of the map). Watch out for this news:" Colony of Rabid Bats Triggers Town Evacuation". Now devolve Bat 1 and save game.
  • Wait for the coming up news:" WHO Starts Rabies Eradication Initiative". Save your progress.
  • Gain some DNA points and evolve Cold Resistance 1-2, Heat Resistance 1 and Drug Resistance 1. The order doesn't matter, but make sure you have enough DNA points to devolve any possible symptoms.
  • After a long time waiting, the final news will appear in the banner:" Film About Rabies Epidemic Becomes Global Hit". Save game.
  • Wait until all human life have been infected. Check your remaining DNA points - shouldn't less than 62. Save game.

3. Eradication Stage
Objective: Wipe out humanity without Cytopathic Reanimaton mutated.
I assume that you definitely not want to evolve it by yourself.

  • Evolve the following symptoms in one shot:
    - Insomnia
    - Fever
    - Photophobia
    - Coma
    - Acute Encephalitis
    - Hyper Salivation
  • Now your disease will be found - same as usual. But this time, humans may get into trouble by treating Necroa Virus as a mutated strain of rabies. Save game if you see this pop-up:" XXX 'is a form of Rabies'", where "XXX" is your disease name.
  • Now the cure development has fallen into an endless loop, and will stop if you're lucky enough. Prepare for victory!

4. Important Notes
Don't miss this section!

  • Under normal circumstances, it will take 4000-4500 days from start to end. Please be patient and careful.
  • If "Colony of Rabid Bats Triggers Town Evacuation" message doesn't show up before India is fully infected - load game / retry.
  • If your disease gets caught before 100% infection - load game / retry.
  • If you don't have enough DNA points to evolve all required symptoms at once - load game / retry.
    - A useful criterion is how many times Necroa Virus has mutated before 100% infection. If your answer is 5 or above, I suggest you better have a retry.
  • If cure development reaches 90% and "XXX 'is a form of Rabies'" still doesn't show up - load game / retry.
  • Don't feel relieved even though "XXX 'is a form of Rabies'" has appeared. Human beings are clever, and they will continue their research by denying the link between XXX and rabies. If "XXX / Rabies link 'false'" appears, use Genetic Hardening and Genetic Reshuffle to slow down the cure.
  • Some symptoms can also reduce the cure research rate, like Delirum and Psychosis. However...
  • If Cytopathic Reanimation mutated... you know what to do!

http://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=328896354
092. The Future is Bright
Description: End the game with apes and humans living together peacefully

Another tricky achievement.

0. If you want to try it for yourself...
There are some requirements as follows: (I'm not sure if it's sufficient)
  • Make all the apes intelligent.
  • Zero human casualities.
    Note: I'm not sure whether or not those who died in natural disasters are taken into account.
  • Low disease severity.
  • At least 90% apes survive at last.
  • Humans cannot become hostile to apes, which means DO NOT use Ape Rampage ability under any circumstances.
  • Except for the first Gen-Sys lab, other labs shouldn't be attacked or destroyed. When Gen-Sys start killing apes, use Organised Travel to evade.
  • DO NOT evolve Hominidae Bridge.
  • Cure reaches 100% and all human cured.

When these conditions meet, you'll receive an ending game pop-up: "Humans have successfully cured XXX. Without any danger of disease, apes and humans can peacefully coexist and a bright future beckons", with an ape icon on it. (NOT a captured ape icon!)

If you have no idea about what to do, see below for help.

1. Pre-game
This guide has been tested on Normal difficulty.
Save game if necessary.

Let's begin with genes:
  • ATP Boost
  • Ion Surge
  • Aquacyte
  • Extremophile
  • Viral Affinity
Ion Surge is a helpful gene when you want to spend less DNA points on devolving symptoms.

2. Make every ape intelligent
Objective 1: Infect every ape on this planet.
Objective 2: Remain hidden and leave at least 300 DNA points for next stage.

  • Devolve any symptoms in this stage, no exception.
  • Start in Central Africa. Evolve Simian Neuro-genesis and Ape Colonies as soon as you can. Establish an ape colony in Central Africa.
  • Evolve Social Cohesion and Sebaceous Excretion to speed up the infection.
  • Evolve Organised Travel, Logistics and Seafaring for further expansion.
  • It's time to travel around the world and spread the virus! The way you do it doesn't matter. The main idea is to infect every ape and set up colonies to acquire more DNA points. Here's a list of what I've done when I was testing this guide:
    - Travel: West Africa -> Argentina, through Brazil and Bolivia.
    - Set up an ape colony in West Africa.
    - Travel: Algeria/Libya -> Greenland, through France, UK and Iceland.
    - Travel: East Africa -> South Africa, through Zimbabwe and Botswana.
    - Travel: East Africa -> New Zealand, through Madagascar and Australia.
    - Set up an ape colony in East Africa.
    - Travel: Argentina -> Caribbean, through Peru and Colombia.
    - Travel: France -> Russia, through most European countries.
    - Travel: Russia -> Indonesia, through India and other countries.
    - Travel: India -> Japan, through China and Korea.
    - Travel: China -> New Guinea, through Philippines.
    - Set up ape colonies in India, China and Indonesia.
    - Travel: Colombia -> Canada, through C. America, Mexico and USA.
  • Check if all the countries have infected apes.
  • Evolve Cognitive Shift and Education. Set up a colony in USA.
  • Be patient and gather DNA points. Evolve Cold Resistance 1-2, Drug Resistance 1-2, Primal Awareness, War Paint, Covert Expertise and Horseback Riding on the ability page.
  • Accumulate DNA points until it exceeds 300, or 400 if you're cautious.

3. The Future is Bright
  • Watch out for the sound effects when a Gen-Sys lab appears!
  • Whether your disease has been spotted or not, evolve the following traits:
    - Air 1-2, Water 1-2 and Extreme Bioaerosol
    - Fomites 1-3
    - Bird 1-2
    - Neuro-enhancement 1-2
    - Heat Resistance 1-2
  • In order to maintain low severity and zero lethality, devolve any symptoms other than Neuro-enhancement 1-2.
  • Now the only problem left is the apes. The number of ape deaths should not go over 60000. To achieve this, you must evade Gen-Sys hunting using migrate ability. If a Gen-Sys lab has located in a place where...
    (1) has 2000 apes or less - Leave it alone.
    (2) has 10000 apes or more - Evacuate all apes immediately.
    (3) has 2000-10000 apes - Let 30%-50% of the apes die and then evacuate.
  • When Cure reaches 100%, you'll receive a message with an ape icon on it, stating that "Humans have successfully cured your diesease. Without any danger of disease, apes and humans can peacefully coexist and a bright future beckons."
    Note: NOT a captured ape!

And there're many useful guides in the community. Find your favorite ones :)
113-115. The GODLY achievements
These are definitely the most time-consuming and luck-draining achievements. What's even worse is that they can no longer be unlocked on Casual difficulty after an update.


Good news, everyone! Developers have slightly tweaked the score required to get 3 biohazards in part of the V1.0 update.


Rome was not built in one day, enjoy!


113. Super Sparrow
Description: Get 3 biohazards with each disease on Normal or higher in Pirate Plague scenario

114. Lava God
Description: Get 3 biohazards with each disease on Normal or higher in Volcanic Ash scenario

115. Mr President
Description: Get 3 biohazards with each disease on Normal or higher in Shut Down Everything scenario

The most important things you must have (in order):
  • Skill
  • Luck
  • Patience ---- S/L in case you're out of luck

They can be obtained in a legitimate way. Take your time in this S/L & RNG hell. Good luck!

Regular Plagues
Super Sparrow requires lots of S/L, only thing I can say is to keep low severity and prey.

Nasty islands (and useful traits)
Caribbean <－ USA, Mexico, UK
(Rodent > Drug > Heat/Insect)
Greenland <－ Russia, Norway
(Cold > Drug > Livestock)
Madagascar <－ Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Australia
(Heat/Insect)
New Guinea <－ Australia, India, New Zealand, Indonesia
(Heat/Insect > Drug, Rodent, Livestock)
Philippines <－ China, Indonesia, Japan, Australia
(Rodent > Heat/Insect)

  • Genetic Code: Cytochrome Surge, Genetic Mimic, Aquacyte, Urbophile, Sympto-Stasis
  • Start in China as Bacteria, evolve Rash, Sweating, Skin Lesions, Coughing, Sneezing
  • Evolve Air 1 & 2, Cold Resistance 1, Drug Resistance 1
  • Evolve Water 1&2, Extreme Bioaerosol, Heat Resistance 1, Cold Resistance 2
  • Evolve Rodent 1, Drug Resistance 2, (Optional: Insect 1)
  • From now on, only evolve Transmissions and Abilities, devolve any lethal symptoms mutated!
  • Save your game once China has been fully infected. Check out for infected boats. If no boats go to Philippines within 30 days, load recent game and try again.
  • Now keep an eye on New Guinea. No boats? Load and try again.
  • Madagascar...
  • Greenland...
  • Caribbean...
  • Evolve Total Organ Failure, Necrosis, Haemorrhagic Shock, Internal Haemorrhaging and win
  • If you manage to beat Bacteria in Pirate Plague scenario on Normal within 1 hour - congratulations! Now you can move on to Virus!
  • ...
  • You did it! Congratulations! Now move on to Parasite, Prion, Nano-Virus and Bio-Weapon!

Special Remarks:
Virus: Genetic Mimic －> Base Oxidisation / Creationist, mid-game mutations really sucks

Bio-Weapon: Cytochrome Surge －> ATP Boost, Sympto-Stasis －> Patho-Stasis
  • I will only list the timing of those special abilities, it's really important controling lethality not to draw too much attention in the mid-game.
  • Evolve GC 1 (Gene Compression) & NAN 1 (Nucleic Acid Neutralisation) right after evolving Skin Lesions, skip Coughing and Sneezing(symptoms are too expensive without Sympto-Stasis)
  • Evolve "DMG 1, GC 2" between Air 1 and Air 2; NAN 2 after Air 2, and get Coughing and Sneezing
  • Evolve GC 3, DMG 2 get NAN 3 after Rodent 1 (get Heat 1 after Drug 2)
  • You don't have to save DNA for lethal symptoms since Bio-Weapon has the best: Annihilate Gene for only 10 DNA, so get transmissions and abilities to spread faster in those counties that have a port to one of the nasty islands. Might as well get Genetic Hardening, though not necessary
  • Get DMG 3 when lethality reach an uncomfortable point
  • Won in 324 days with only 10% cure, hope I've got this straight.

Nano-Virus:
  • Cytochrome Surge －> ATP Boost
  • Evolve Code Fragment Interception after Sweating
  • Evolve Code Segment Interception after Sneezing
  • You won't have to worry about the cure since you will be spreading around the world and stablizing in four months, the cure remains below 80%
  • OVERLOAD as soon as you get each of the tier-one resistances
  • Keep in mind that Insomnia, Paranoia, Inflammation, Seizures, Insanity, Paralysis, Coma are really really cheap (other symptom costs are also reduced by 1)

Here's a guide for Mr President:
Since people are more sensitive in this scenario, we have to be sneaky ---- Transmissions.
  • Genetic Code: ATP Boost, Darwinist, Aquacyte, Urbophile, Trans-Stasis
  • Start on Normal difficulty in China
  • Evolve Rodent 1, Livestock 1, Bird 1 & 2, Water 1, Air 1, Water 2, Air 2 and Extreme Bioaerosol
  • Evolve Cold Resistance 1 & 2, Drug Resistance 1 & 2
  • Evolve Heat Resistance 1 and Blood 1 for Caribbean and Africa
  • Ramp up lethality!! Go for Internal Haemorrhaging & Hermorrhagic Shock or Total Organ Failure depending on previous mutations, go lethal!!
  • -------Done-------
  • Works fine for Bacteria, Virus, Nano-Virus, Bio-Weapon, Prion but struggling with Parasite.
  • Nano-Virus needs some focus on its special ability, especially overload!

Here's a guide for Lava God:
We don't need to worry about those nasty islands, the only concern is how to spread fast without the help of airplanes ---- Birds and Teracyte.
  • Genetic Code: ATP Boost, Darwinist, Teracyte, Extremophile, Sympto-Stasis
  • Start on Normal difficulty in India
  • Evolve Livestock 1, Rash, Sweating and Skin Lesions
  • Evolve Water 1, Bird 1 & 2, Water 2
  • Evolve Coughing, Sneezing, Pneumonia, Cysts, Abscesses
  • Evolve Cold Resistance 1 & 2, Drug Resistance 1
  • Evolve Nausea, Vomiting, Diarrhoea, Insect 1, Blood 1, Rodent 1, Drug Resistance 2
  • Wait until at most two of the following islands are not infected: Greenland, Iceland, Caribbean, Madagascar, New Zealand, New Guinea, Philippines
  • Evolve Necrosis, Dysentery
  • When all of the countries are infected, go for maximum lethality: Total Organ Failure, Haemorrhagic Shock, Internal Haemorrhaging and so on
  • You will be able to evolve all the symptoms and Genetic Reshuffle 1--3 at the end


Neurax Worm
Neurax Worm is OP, you can infect those annoying islands with trojan planes.


Fungus
Fungus is not so hard if you utilize the special ability.
You spread by Spore Burst and Bird 1 & 2, so 3 scenarios can be done in a similar way.

Here's an example for Lava God:
  • Genetic Code: ATP Boost, Darwinist, Aquacyte, Extremophile, Patho-Stasis
  • Start on Normal difficulty in China
  • Evolve Cysts, Abscesses (Increase Severity for more DNA) and Spore Burst * 6
  • Evolve Water 1 and Spore Eruption
  • Evolve Water 2 and Spore Burst * 4 (Save some for those nasty islands in the late game)
  • Evolve Air 1 & 2 and Extreme Bioaerosol
  • Evolve Cold Resistance 1, Bird 1 & 2, Drug Resistance 1, Cold Resistance 2, Drug Resistance 2
  • Evolve Rash, Sweating, Skin Lesions and Necrosis
  • Evolve Heat Resistance 1 & 2 and System Infection
  • Check for uninfected countries, wait until Spore Burst * 2 and Spore Eruption can take all of them down, make sure you infect all the countries before you proceed
  • Evolve Hermorrhagic Shock, Coma, Total Organ Failure and Internal Hermorrhaging
  • Just ramp up lethality and use Genetic Reshuffle for a higher score
  • I won in only 268 days and an insane score 124750, so I sure it's pretty consistant.

For Super Sparrow, change Aquacyte to Aerocyte and evolve Air before Water.
For Mr President, change Aquacyte to Suppression and keep an eye on the cure.
113-115-Part 2. Necroa & Simian - PAIN
Necroa Virus
Since your score mostly depends on your speed, you have to be aggressive.
In order to get 3 biohazards, you have to finish in about a year.
Those guides for Necroa on Mega-Brutal does not work, since it's based on steady development and usually wins in 500 days.

Here's a method for Super Sparrow and Mr President:
  • Start on Normal difficulty in Saudi Arabia
  • Genetic Code: ATP Boost, Darwinist, Aerocyte, Xerophile, Spliced Activation
  • Main idea: Quickly spread upon the world using Saudi Arabia's airplanes, then grind out with special ability Zombie Horde
  • Evolve Zoonotic Shift, Insect 1, Bat 1, Bat 2. Save your game after evolving Bat 1, load if you didn't mutate Hyper Salivation in about 100 days.
  • Evolve Polyphagia, Gastroenteritis, Drug Resistance 1 and save.
  • If Saudi shuts airports before you infect Australia and one of the North American countries, load your game.
  • Save some DNA points waiting for the second mutate, load if you didn't get Cannibalism in about 200 days.
  • Evolve Cytopathic Reanimation, Anaerobic Resuscitation, Enhanced Motor Control, Masticatory Tension, Anabolic Boost.
  • Evolve Horde Instinct, Structured Travel, Dyskinetic Movement, Echopraxia, Engorged Quadriceps and save your game.
  • Time to utilize special ability Zombie Horde, thanks to Spliced Activation it only costs 2 per use.
  • Send Zombies whenever you have DNA points, try to infect the world ASAP.
  • When you are about to infect the whole world, your should have some spare DNA points, evolve Peptide Surge, Dermal Calcification, Cranial Elephantitis, Bone Dysplasia.
  • Evolve Acidic Reflux, Naja Mortis, Autothysis.
  • It's an easy win from now on.
  • If you are concerned with ZCOM, evolve Horde Mentality, Horde Vocalisation (and Horde Pheromones if you have enough DNA points) and send Waves of Zombies at ZCOM, they don't even stand a chance.

Necroa for Lava God is extremely hard, here's a not-guarenteed method
Similar to the method above, main idea is to mutate Cannibalism and I'll only list the differences:
  • Genetic Code: Aerocyte -> Aquacyte, Xerophile -> Rurophile
  • Starting country: Saudi Arabia -> India
  • Evolve Zoonotic Shift, Hyper Salivation, Bat 1, Bat2 at the beginning and wait for Polyphagia to mutate.
  • Evolve Gastroenteritis, Autophagia, Bird 1, Drug Resistance 1 and wait for Cannibalism to mutate.
  • After India is fully infected, S/L until you get an airplane to USA
  • When you are upgrading special ability Zombie Horde, also evolve Drifting Fermentation and head directly to Brazil ---- ZCOM will mostly set their base there.
  • After evolving Acidic Reflux, Naja Mortis, Autothysis, follow by Lumbrical Hypertrophy, Adrenal Surge, Hyperosmia, Temporal Lobe Manipulation, Enhanced Sensory Integration, Cathemeral Shift, Vampire Hunger ---- as much as you can.
  • Extremely hard but not impossible, good luck!

Here's a more detailed and consistent guide by CABBAGE_MEDAL, thank you!

Simian Flu
Set 5 colonies while sending apes around the world, evolve Hominidae Bridge, BOOM!
Sounds easy, but it's not gonna be fun......you need to have your apes around the world in around 8 months......
When I am talking about infect, I mean apes.
  • Genetic Code: ATP Boost, ATP Overdose, Teracyte, Extremophile, Leadership
  • Start on Normal difficulty in Central Africa
  • Evolve Simian Neuro-Genesis, Inter-Genus Dissemination 1 & 2
  • Wait for the apes break out from the lab, restart if it took more than 25 days.
  • Evolve Ape Colonies and set your first colony in Central Africa (Make sure it's close to Sudan)
  • Evolve Organised Travel and send your colony to East Africa while infecting Sudan and set a colony in Central Africa (Close to West Africa) and another one in Sudan
  • Send the colony in Central Africa to West Africa after it generates DNA and set your fourth colony in Central Africa again.
  • By this time, Saudi Arabia should be infected, evolve Logistics and send them to Russia while infecting Iraq, Iran, Central Asia, Kazakhstan, China
  • Evolve Seafaring and send a troop from Saudi Arabia to New Zealand while infecting India, Indonesia, Australia
  • Evolve Cognitive Shift and Education, your apes must have arrived in Russia
  • Send a troop from Russia to Mexico while infecting Baltic States, Poland, Gemany, France, Caribbean, C.America; another troop to Canada while infecting Scandinavian countries, Iceland and Greenland; and the last one from Morocco to Argentina while infecting Brazil and Bolivia
  • Set your last colony in Indonesia and evolve Cold Resistance 1 and Drug Resistance 1
  • Evolve Photophobia, Subconjunctival Bleed, Subconjunctival Haemorrhage, Headache, Joint Pain AND Hominidae Bridge, restart if it took you more than 9 months to reach this point
  • Evolve Bird 1 & 2, Air 1, Water 1, Fomites 1--3, Bat 1 & 2
  • When a Gen-Sys lab pops up, evolve Ape Rampage and break it as you have intellegent apes all over the world
  • Send a troop from S. E. Asia to New Guinea while infecting Phlippines, and another troop from China to Japan while infecting Korea, the last one from U.K to Iceland
  • Ramp up symptoms, which I will not specify but try to get those that both increases infectivity and lethality! Don't forget to get Drug resistance 2 and Cold Resistance 2.
  • After you get all of the 'good' symptoms, it's time for the final blow - Total Brain Death. Evolve Air 2, Water 2, Extreme Bioaerosol afterwards, otherwise people die too quickly before they infect others in Canada.
  • I finished in 435 days / 47%cure, 462 days / 11% cure and got scores around 73000, so I'm pretty sure you will still get 3 biohazzards even when you get kind of unlucky.
  • Remark: you create the Planet of Apes when you wipe out the majority of humanity, so you don't have to kill EVERYONE to win, that means you can leave Greenland alone

116. Who needs brains
Description: Take humanity back to the stone age

Use Frozen Virus in official scenario and meet the requirements:
  • Infect everyone.
  • Evolve Neanderthal Regression symptom. Make sure that you have already evolved Full DNA Repair on the ability page.
You'll get the achievement when game ends.
117. Published Scenario
Description: Publish a Plague Inc: Evolved Scenario to Steam Workshop

Pretty self-explanatory.
118. Call PETA
Description: Make a celebrity cry

Use Nipah Virus in official scenario
Recommend on Casual difficulty
Remember to save your progress.

1. Gene combination
  • Cytochrome Surge
  • Genetic Mimic
  • Aquacyte
  • Extremophile
  • Translesion +
We need to procrastinate and devolve any mutated symptoms.

2. Spread your plague
Objective 1: Trigger "'Pugapoo' dog" event.
Objective 2: Infect everyone without being spotted.
  • Start in India. Evolve Hendra Traits and Horse 1 transmission ASAP. Leave Dog transmission alone.
  • Evolve Drug Resistance 1, Genetic Hardening 1 and Cold Resistance 1-2.
    Note: Nipah Virus is unstable and will mutate frequently. Make sure you have spare DNA to devolve symptoms.
  • Watch out for "Kim Shardakian buys new 'Pugapoo' dog" in the news banner. Save game if it appears.
    Note: If it doesn't show up before 50% infection of the world, you'd better start over again.
  • Check your DNA points - shouldn't less than 100. Save game.
    Note: This save can be used to unlock achievement No.119 as well.

3. Kill the dog!
  • Evolve these traits:
    - Dog
    - Respiratory Shift
    - Nausea
    - Vomiting
    - Pulmonary Oedema
    - Haemoptysis
    - Pulmonary Haemorrhage
  • Now you can let pathogen mutate freely. However, if Respiratory Failure mutates, devolve it immediately.
  • Wait for "XXX kills Kim Shardakian's dog" shows up. Mission accomplished.
  • But if nothing happens or "Kim Shardakian's dog gets pampered" pops up, load your progress and retry.

It's not guaranteed to obtain this achievement, but you'll eventually have it after some trial.
119. Contagion Cancelled
Description: Prevent a film about your plague being made

Use Nipah Virus in official scenario
Recommend on Casual difficulty
Remember to save your progress

1. Gene combination
2. Spread your plague
Please refer to the corresponding content in "118. Call PETA". If you have saved a game as requested, simply load it and continue.

3. Interrupt film making!
  • Evolve Swine 1-2 and Bat 2 transmission.
    Note: You can finish this step in the previous stage, but that will cause your plague to mutate too often, which means that you have to spend more DNA points on devolving symptoms.
  • Evolve some symptoms at will. "XXX film announced" will show up at some later time.
  • It's time to evolve Memory Loss. Soon you'll received a message, stating that the film has failed because actors cannot memorize lines. *facepalm*
  • If you see "XXX film raises awareness worldwide!" instead, please load and try again.

Note: Still, the success rate is high, but not 100%.
120. Who needs Science
Description: Show the world how useful homeopathy is

Use Nipah Virus in official scenario
Recommend on Casual difficulty
Remember to save your progress.

1. Gene combination
We can let the plague mutate in a controllable way. Here's a suggestion:
  • ATP Boost
  • Creationist
  • Aquacyte
  • Extremophile
  • Ionised Helix

2. Infect and mutate
  • Evolve the following traits in order ASAP:
    - Horse 1-2
    - Dog
    - Cold Resistance 1-2
    - Heat Resistance 1
    - Drug Resistance 1
    - Genetic Hardening 1-2
  • Leave all mutations alone. You'll need them to earn more DNA points.
  • Wait until the infected poopulation exceeds 50%.

3. Loot medical stores!
  • Normally, Lude Jaw will stand out and claim that there is a homeopathic cure for your disease. This event can be identified by "Lude Jaw claims XXX cure" pop-up.
    Note: This often happens before 100% infection. If it doesn't appear in time, you'd better try again.
  • Now evolve Encephalitic Shift and the following symptoms:
    - Headache
    - Nuchal rigidity
    - Fever
    - Photophobia
    - Blurred Vision
    - Hallucinations
    - Drowsiness
    - Confusion
    - Memory Loss
  • After "Lude Jaw triggers infection in YYY" poping up, the achievement will be unlocked.
  • However, if you see "Lude Jaw revealed to be 'con artist'" in the news banner, try again.
121. I never asked for this
Description: Feel the negative side of artificial organs

Griroesh has made a detailed guide. Hope this would help you. Thank you Griroesh!
http://steamoss.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=318620329
122. GLaDOS Says Hi
Description: Make a teleport attempt end in tragedy

Use Teleport in official scenario
Recommend as Parasite on Casual

Why not Prion?
Here's the reason: In this scenario, your priority is to prevent people from escaping to islands by infecting as many people as possible. Therefore, Parasite with Symbiosis ability is a solid choice.

  • Initial genes - ATP Boost, Base Oxidisation, Aquacyte, Extremophile and Sympto-Stasis.
  • Start in Saudi Arabia. Evolve the following traits in order as soon as possible:
    - Symbiosis 1 & 2
    - Rash
    - Sweating
    - Skin Lesions
    - Symbiosis 3
    - Coughing
    - Sneezing
    - Pneumonia
    - Cysts
    - Bird 1
    - Water 1
    - Air 1
    - Cold Resistance 1
    - Drug Resistance 1
  • By now, most countries / regions will have infected population and your disease should be spotted. Stupid human beings attempt to teleport to somewhere 'safe'. Sorry, nowhere is safe.
  • Sit down, drink some tea and watch people vanish - "Portal attempt in XXX failure".
123. Ultimate Christmas
Description: Discover the Ultimate Christmas Combo

Use Santa's Little Helper in official scenarios.

Evolve Red-Suited Pilot and Red-Nosed Guide on the ability page. Wait for "Ultimate Christmas combo" pop-up.

Combo Effect: Increase infectivity and happiness.

As the description says, "Quick Match" is required to obtain this achievement.

One simple way to do this is to win a quick match with your friend. You have to find a time when not many players are in the co-op game lobby, enter quick match with your friend simultaneously. There is a big chance to match you with your friend.

"Friends With Benefits" will be unlocked as well on Normal difficulty.
137. BFF
Description: Win a Co-op multiplayer game on Brutal Difficulty

"Friends With Benefits" and "Comrade-In-Arms" will be unlocked as well on Brutal difficulty.
138. Nuclear Warfare
Description: Launch a Nuclear Strike in a multiplayer game

In order to get this achievement, you have to play in multiplayer - both vs. mode and co-op mode are okay.
It is recommended to play against PlagueBot in vs. practice mode. Or you grab a friend to help you do it.

- What does the Nuclear Strike do?
- The Nuclear Strike can destroy one certain country/region instantaneously. What's more - it is YOU who decide where is going to be destroyed!

Now let's get back on track. Here's what you need to do.

1. In vs. mode
  • We recommend you to equip Safe House gene and start in Sweden, where gives you a big boost with 31 DNA points.
  • Keep an eye on the news banner, one of the following 7 news should come up soon after the game starts:
    - XXX invests heavily in Nuclear First Strike systems
    - XXX reveals groundbreaking Nuclear technology
    - XXX invests billions in Nuclear Weapons
    - XXX amazes world with Nuclear arsenal
    - Suspicious Nuclear weapons testing in XXX
    - Global summit held to discuss Nuclear capability of XXX
    - XXX accused of Nuclear Weapons testing
    XXX is where the Nuclear Strike comes from.
  • Evolve Unscheduled Flight on the ability page, then infect XXX with a trojan plane.
  • Evolve Air 1 & 2, Insomnia, Paranoia, Psychosis, Insanity, Corpse DNA 1 and Immune Shock, wait patiently till XXX is 100% infected. It's better not to let your opponent infect XXX, otherwise it will fail in some cases.
  • Use Immune Shock in XXX, "Further suspicious Nuclear Testing in XXX" should appear immediately. If "XXX to cease Nuclear Weapons Testing" comes up instead, please retry.
  • Wait for a while, a nuclear bubble will rise in XXX - it allows you to release a nuclear bomb and strike on any one country/region.
  • You'll acquire this achievement after the game ends (not after the strike).

2. In co-op mode
It's pretty much the same as what you need to do in vs. mode. But we remake this part for your convenience. :)
  • We recommend you to start in USA, where gives you access to most countries/regions.
  • Keep an eye on the news banner, one of the following 7 news should come up soon after the game starts:
    - XXX invests heavily in Nuclear First Strike systems
    - XXX reveals groundbreaking Nuclear technology
    - XXX invests billions in Nuclear Weapons
    - XXX amazes world with Nuclear arsenal
    - Suspicious Nuclear weapons testing in XXX
    - Global summit held to discuss Nuclear capability of XXX
    - XXX accused of Nuclear Weapons testing
    XXX is where the Nuclear Strike comes from.
  • Evolve Unscheduled Flight on the ability page, then infect XXX with a trojan plane.
    Note: However, if you're confident that XXX will be infected in a short time, you can skip this step and carry on.
  • Evolve Air 1 & 2, Insomnia, Paranoia, Coma, Insanity and Lethal Boost, wait patiently till XXX is 100% infected. DO NOT evolve any other symptoms that have lethality! (Even a little bit!). And it's better not to let your partner infect XXX, otherwise it will fail in some cases.
  • Use Lethal Boost in XXX, "Further suspicious Nuclear Testing in XXX" should appear immediately. If "XXX to cease Nuclear Weapons Testing" comes up instead, please retry.
  • Wait for a while, a nuclear bubble will rise in XXX - it allows you to release a nuclear bomb and strike on any one country/region. But if XXX is destroyed before nuclear bubble can pop up, or "XXX ceases Nuclear Tests - lack of healthy scientists" appears in the news banner, please retry.
  • You'll acquire this achievement after the game ends (not after the strike).

BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
139. Tutorial
Description: Complete the tutorial

You need to FINISH the tutorial to get this achievement, no matter you win or lose.
140. Heart of Darkness
Description: Send your vampire into a Blood Rage

  • Evolve Blood Rage on the Vampire page.
  • You can see a blade icon on the left of the map, indicating Blood Rage active ability is available.
  • Click the icon and use it on a country that has a vampire. The vampire will start attacking people and the achievement is unlocked.
141. Batmobile
Description: Transform vampire into a bat and fly somewhere

  • Evolve Therianthropy on the Vampire page.
  • You can see a bat icon on the left of the map, indicating Vampire Flight active ability is available.
  • Click the icon. Click on a vampire and then choose its destination. The vampire will start moving and it's done.

Evolve Shadow Slaves symptom.
The infected will become the slaves of the vampire in a moment, and the achievement will be unlocked as well.
143. Purity of the Chosen

144. Home Sweet Home
Description: Set up a vampire lair

  • Evolve Lair on the Vampire page.
  • You can see a skull icon on the left of the map, indicating Create Lair active ability is available.
  • Click the icon. Click on a country that has a vampire and set up a lair. Done!
145. Twilight Lied
Description: Let Humanity discover your vampire

When the threat of vampires or Shadow Plague is high enough, Templar Industries will claim to be taking urge actions against it.
"Templar Industries Reveals Global Vampire Threat" will pop up and the achievement will be unlocked.
146. Van Helsing's Doom
Description: Destroy a Templar fort

At the later part of a game, Templar Industries will construct some advanced military bases (aka Fortress) across the globe.
Upgrade and use your Blood Rage ability to destroy it, or let your numerous vampire slaves do the dirty work. Once a Templar Fortress is destroyed, you'll receive this achievement.
147. Luck of the Devil
Description: Destroy a templar fort with near death vampire

This one is self-explanatory.
You need micromanagement, leap of faith and a bit of luck to achieve this.
Maybe you can try with S/L function as well.
148. Vampire Master
Description: Beat Shadow Plague on Mega-Brutal difficulty

Easier done than said.
Really... for now. Maybe there will be another update that fixes the problem.

WARNING: This walkthrough is a bit boring though, hope you could find an alternative dramatic strategy.

I'll just leave some key points here.
  • Mainly upgrade Blood Rage and Vampire Flight ability at the beginning.
  • DO NOT evolve Shadow Blessing. Just collecting DNA using Blood Rage ability to kill those puny humans.
  • After killing many people without spreading the plague, Templar Industries will be pissed off and fight against you. Now evolve Dark Ritual 1/2.
  • Don't worry about the fortress. Take them down one by one and heal your vampire by killing unarmed people. Templar Industries will go down in a minute.
  • Now collecting DNA as well as setting up lairs. It really takes some time to do.
  • When you have ~600 DNA pts, unleash the plague, rapidly spread your disease, create your blood pets and destroy WHO Labs.
  • With that many DNA pts in your hand, you may not fail.
  • If you do, then... try again?
149. Sadomasicist
Description: Beat Shadow Plague with no Shadow Slaves

Necroa Virus without zombies...
Shadow Plague without slaves...
So is it another NAZG achievement?
Nope, it's not scary at all.

Do it on Casual difficulty will save the trouble of the Cure.

There's not much I can say here. Follow a evolution path with higher lethality is enough. Don't be afraid of people dying fast, because you still have vampires to spread the plague.

Description: Carefully count your vampire's feeds

Apparently, this is a reference to Count von Count in Sesame Street.
Have 123 people killed in USA in exactly 123 days.
Why? Because the Count loves counting!

Here's how you do it:
  • Start in USA and evolve Blood Rage, Lair and Therianthropy.
  • Set up a Lair in USA.
  • Now using Blood Rage once and stop it immediately.
  • Check the number of the dead people.
    - If it's less than 70, back to the previous step.
    - If the dead population is between 70-123, save the game and proceed to the next step.
    - Otherwise if the dead population goes sky-high... you know what to do.
  • Now wait until the dead population in USA is EXACTLY 123. Leave USA right at the point and wait for the achievement to be unlocked.
  • Relative news will appear in the news banner on the 123-th day.
    - If you see "'Sesame Street Killer' on rampage in New York", you're on the right track.
    - If you see "Police find no pattern to New York murders" instead, then it means you have failed this achievement, try again.
Few words on Shadow Plague special events
Make sure you understand the following instructions and tips before proceeding to the Shadow Plague special events (No. 164-172).

1. The structure of the events
  • Just like Necroa Virus origin stories, there are 3 lines of stories for Shadow Plague. Each storyline has 3 achievements, which are different branches of the storyline.
  • Each storyline is associated with a specific country/region as well. They are Turkey (Shadow Pool), Central Europe (Dracula) and UK (Stonehenge)
  • News banner and pop-up news are important, so keep an eye on them. Especially for pop-up news, they always indicate an upcoming branching point.

2. How do I start these events?
Some key things to notice.
  • Start wherever you like, except Turkey, Central Europe and UK. You'll see why in a moment.
  • Unlock vampire flight ability and start flying around. Keep your vampire busy flying and make sure it doesn't kill too many people, or the events won't trigger.
  • If you want to trigger a random storyline, then try to avoid flying to Turkey, Central Europe and UK, as they are where the events begin.
    However, if you want to trigger a specific storyline, say Stonehenge (UK) storyline, then avoid flying to UK, while killing some people in Turkey and Central Europe. The other two are similar.
  • After 4 months or so, there will be relavant news in the news banner. And then you can begin your own explorations.
  • The relavant news are:
    - Shadow Pool storyline: "Caver in Turkey discovers deepest ever cave network"
    - Dracula storyline: "Historian discovers ancient map of Romania"
    - Stonehenge storyline: "Tourists topple Standing Stone at Stonehenge"

3. Other things
  • Recommended difficulty: Casual.
  • Be patient. Fail 10 times in a row is no big deal, especially for Stonehenge storyline.
  • Do NOT start spreading your disease at the very beginning. Otherwise the events won't probably trigger.
  • Use S/L function properly. It will save you a bunch of time.

Now let's get started.
164-166. Shadow Pool Event
164. Rock Bottom
Description: Consume the cavers exploring the Shadow Pool

165. Chiroptophobia
Description: Drive out cavers before sampling the Shadow Pool

166. Watery Grave
Description: Drown Templar scientists in the Shadow Pool


0. Key things to notice
  • Recommended genes: Mad Scientist, Budget Bat, Aquacyte, Extremophile and Brawler.
  • Do NOT let humans discover your vampire too soon, or you are done. Evolve Night Wraith and keep moving other countries after some time to avoid detection.
  • You can spread your disease to gain more DNA points, but don't get spotted too soon.
  • Leave Templar fortress alone. They have to hold their position before investigating the Shadow Pool.

1. Rock Bottom (No. 164)
  • Trigger this event. You'll see "Caver in Turkey discovers deepest ever cave network" in the news banner.
  • Now you can start spreading your disease, i.e. evolving Shadow Blessing. You can also set up some lairs to gain DNA points.
  • After a while, "Cavers expect to discover new species in Turkey cave network" will show up in the news banner.
  • Then the first pop-up news entitled "Shadow Pool discovered in Turkey" will show up.

Update: The bug has been fixed, but the scenario is still fairly easy to score 3 biohazards.
181. Complete Mad Cow Disease

Just a reminder: These achievements need to be unlocked in the Cure Mode.
219. I Will Find You
Description: Investigate a new disease outbreak.

In the Cure Mode, invest Investigate Outbreaks and Deploy Field Operatives, move the field team around to spot new diseases. This achievement will be unlocked after the pathogen is found.
220. Anti Vaxxer
Description: Save the world without using a vaccine

The following guide is based on Bio-Weapon + Brutal difficulty, which is also recommended. Moreover, achievement No. 221 can be obtained at the same time.
In the Cure Mode, invest Investigate Outbreaks, Government Partnerships and Deploy Field Operatives right after the game starts. Move the field team around to spot the new disease as quickly as possible.After spotting the new pathogen, invest Declare Armageddon, Expectation Management and Authority 1-3.
From this point on, the only thing you need to keep an eye out is Authority. It should be dropping fast later in the game. When it's below 60, invest Censorship; after censorship being thwarted, invest Fake News. Hopefully, all the infected will die before Authority drops to zero. And that's how you do it.

I'll admit, it's not a reliable approach given its ~10% success rate, but still viable. Just give it a try.

Combo description: Unprecedented global co-operation in vaccine development gives the world hope that humanity can pull together to stop the disease. Non-Compliance falls.
225. Report thy neighbour
Description: Initiative combo: Report thy neighbour

In the Cure Mode, invest Mask Wearing and Public Awareness after analyzing the new pathogen. Achievement will be unlocked when "Initiative combo: Report thy neighbour" pops up.

Combo description: Increased public awareness leads to surge in fines for failure to wear masks. Non-Compliance decreases.

In the Cure Mode, send the field team to an infected region WITHOUT investing Infection Control or PPE Package 1/2. Achievement will be unlocked when "Initiative combo: We're here to help" pops up.

229. Weapon X
Description: Initiative combo: Weapon X

It is recommended to use Virus on Casual difficulty and save game before investing Censorship or Fake News.
Note that Steroid Medication is only available for Virus, Nano-Virus and Bio-Weapon. Make sure you start with these pathogens!

In the Cure Mode, invest Steroid Medication after analyzing the new pathogen. Then invest Censorship or Fake News, which will freeze Authority for 1 month. During this period, "Initiative combo: Weapon X" may pop up and achievement will unlock afterwards.

These 3 achievements can be unlocked in the Frozen Virus Cure Mode. Casual difficulty is recommended.

1. Basic Setup
Start in Germany. Invest Investigate Outbreaks, Government Partnerships and Deploy Field Operatives. Try to find the outbreak without sending the field operatives in one of these "far north countries": Canada, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia.

Now keep an eye on the news banner. When a far north country (let's call it XXX) is infected, both "DrillZero announces expansion of permafrost mining to XXX" and "Experts warn permafrost mining in XXX may release pathogens" should appear with a red background.
Meanwhile, invest Vaccine Research, Infection Control and Authority 1. You may want to invest some initiatives to slow down the pandemic as well, since high infection/fatality rate will result in a failure.
Soon after, "DrillZero begins permafrost mining in XXX" will appear as well. At this time, the news banners may be cluttered up with government responses, so you need to pay extra attention to it. Now save the game as a branching point.

2. Freeze things happen (No. 232)
From the branching point, do nothing. Wait for "DrillZero spreads (pathogen name) in XXX" to pop up. Achievement unlocked.

3. Snow Way (No. 233)
From the branching point, send the field operatives to XXX. Then, "DrillZero site closed" will pop up. Now invest Censorship, when "Military takeover at former DrillZero site" pops up, the achievement will unlock.
Note: If Censorship time runs out, invest Fake News immediately. If both initiatives invested and still no pop-ups, load and try again.

4. Ice Find (No. 234)
From the branching point, send the field operatives to XXX. Then, "DrillZero site closed" will pop up. Now invest Outbreak Intelligence Unit, when "Breakthrough at former DrillZero site" pops up, the achievement will unlock.

I once lost a colony of apes by having them travel over water. I sent them to Greenland but they never arrived. I had other colonies, so I just continued playing, but maybe something similar happened to you.
Mousestar369 2023 年 11 月 5 日 下午 9:26 
May have been mentioned before, but in "Oink Oink", you also need to have Sneezing and Pneumonia symptoms, at least in the most current version of the game.

For "Peer Pressure", after ages of waiting with coughing i eventually devolved it and evolved nausea then the rumors started. Apparently ukrainians do not ever notice coughing.
