Guide created by StarViruZ. Credits to all TouchArcade users (me too, nice to meet you whoever you are :P) who helped each other to discovered get all achievements.

/////////////////////////////////

So, are a fanatic of Plague Inc. and want get all easter eggs? Well, this is for you! This is the ultimate guide to get all achievements (except "Is not another zombie game", this is impossible without hacking).

Let's begin, some achievements are easy to get, some are really hard, and some are matter of luck. I recommend search with Ctrl+F if you only want get certain achievements.

/////////////////////////////////

The End Plague (very easy):
Just win a game if you are new :P

Bottle Smasher (very easy):
Try don't kill too fast the people and let a country lead the cure. It's more effective if you play Immune Plague.

Evolve your disease (very easy):
Did you win a game doing nothing? Just evolve any transmission, symptom or ability in a game.

Unlock Virus disease type (normal):
Win Bacteria on Normal or Brutal. If you can't win, Youtube is your friend.

Unlock Fungus disease type (normal):
Win Virus on Normal or Brutal. If you can't win, Youtube is your friend.

Unlock Parasite disease type (normal):
Win Fungus on Normal or Brutal. If you can't win, Youtube is your friend.

Unlock Prion disease type (normal):
Win Parasite on Normal or Brutal. If you can't win, Youtube is your friend.

Unlock Nano-Virus disease type (normal):
Win Prion on Normal or Brutal. If you can't win, Youtube is your friend.

Unlock Bio-Weapon disease type (normal):
Win Nano-Virus on Normal or Brutal. If you can't win, Youtube is your friend.

Unlock Cheats (fairly hard):
Win all Normal diseases on Brutal. I recommend to watch Youtube if you're not an scientist.

Russian Nuclear Reliation (fairly hard):
I recommend to play on Immune Plague because is longer this guide.

1. Start on any country
2. Evolve Drug 1 & 2 (required) and any transmission or ability to infect them all.
3. Evolve your disease and make it a little lethal (Max. 10%). Less lethal, more chance to get popups.
4. After months you must see a popup saying "USA president taken ill"
5. Then evolve only Insanity symptom and guess what? Spallin was elected instead of the vice president!
6. This is random. As soon as possible Spallin will threat China or Russia. You need to evolve Paralysis symptom.
7. Then Spallin will nuke China or Russia because the army are paralyzed huh?

And you get the achievement. Congrats!

Chinese Nuclear Reliation (fairly hard):
I recommend to play on Immune Plague because is longer this guide.

1. Start on any country
2. Evolve Drug 1 & 2 (required) and any transmission or ability to infect 'em all.
3. Evolve your disease and make it a little lethal (Max. 10%). Less lethal, more chance to get popups.
4. After months you must see a popup saying "USA president taken ill"
5. Then evolve only Insanity symptom and guess what? Spallin was elected instead of the vice president!
6. This is random. As soon as possible Spallin will threat China or Russia. You need to evolve Paralysis symptom.
7. Then Spallin will nuke China or Russia because the army are paralyzed huh?

And you get the achievement. Congrats!

Plague in Space (fairly hard):
I recommend to play on Immune Plague because is longer this guide.

1. Start on USA.
2. As soon as possible evolve Air 1 & 2, Water 1 & 2 and Extreme Bioaerosol.
3. Infect 'em all without symptoms
4. Evolve your disease increasing its severity (Min. 10%) but DON'T evolve lethal symptoms. More severe, more chance to get popups.
5. Soon a popup will appear saying "Gill Bates (creator of Nicrosoft :P) planning space cure mission". Keep evolving only non-lethal symptoms.
6. After months Gill Bates chooses "non-infected" men to the space mission. Make it lethal (Maximum 20% of lethality) and then those "non-infected" men will die because they're always infected!

And you get the achievement. Congrats!

Olympic Spoiler (easy but random):
Gives chance to infect UK or increase its infection. You might see always the message "London Olympics mystery" but never happens, or yes?

Well, 80% of games always appears that message, but only you have 10% of chance to have other message saying "London Olympics back on!". If you are lucky you just have evolved Drug I and success!

Touchscreen Trash (easy but random):
Most happens when the world is developing a cure, specially on Immune Plague happens almost all time.
When iCure is going to release, wait some weeks. And when iCure launches globally, quickly evolve Sweating symptom (or Hyper salivation on Necroa virus) and that product will be a fiasco, sorry Apple.

RMS Watch List (automatic):
After time the world detected your disease, don't matter if harmless, severe or mortal (Max. 50% lethality), RMS will always put your disease on the blacklist.
Trivia: Is the only achievement on Game Center with its own icon, pretty cool no?

Non Starter (hard):
This achievement is only avalible on Necroa Virus and must follow all steps. If you fail at least one, you must try again.
