The game itself is very addicting. The main objective, of course, is to spread a plague that destroys civilization and causing a multitude of problems for every country infected. You start with 1 plague type and transition your way to 8 others by finishing each one in normal difficulty.
But it does not stop there, you could also play different scenarios. For example, spreading the Black Death throughout modern civilization. Achievements that can be unlocked are also available, but in no way easy to achieve.
I could go on and on about how awesome this game is, but it is better if you check it out for yourself.
Now, for everyone who already has this game and has problems with unlocking plague types, achievements, or scenarios. Here's a list of guides I personally made by playing the game and browsing through several forums and websites.
Important Note: These guides were made by playing the mobile version of Plague Inc--the iOS version to be specific. These guides may or may not work for the PC version, Plague Inc.:Evolved. Check out the submitted and team-made guides on Plague Inc. Evolved Here!
USE THE CTRL+F or the Find function of your browser to be able to easily find the guide you want. If it's not here, it's probably being worked on. Be Patient.

Thanks for all these guides!!
ReplyDeleteSPICY! I FOUND A NEW HIDDEN ACHIEVEMENT CALLED: MYSTERIOUS PLAGUE! IT ONLY WORKS WITH FUNGUS AND STARTS IN EGYPT! BE PRECISE! THIS IS ONE OF THE HIDDEN ACHIEVEMENTS K!
ReplyDeleteYour proofs now, please. Or else I'll consider it as "your plague gets busted after series of riotes" Mysterious plague.
DeleteHey Spices, thanks very much for the awesome guides. I've managed to complete those which i found so difficult. Really appreciate all the work you've put through. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked them! I'll be adding more until I'm 100% sure I covered everything.
DeleteCan you please do a smallpox mega brutal? I can't get it for the life of me!
ReplyDeleteI'll be making guides for every scenario.
DeleteI'm just currently just stuck on Nipah Virus(already beat with 3 biohazards). Just have to arrange a strategy that isn't too dependent on luck(2 out of 20 games won with current strategy).
You rock! Thanks! I have a love hate with this game! Addicting but frustrating!
DeleteThanks for your guides! I haven't been able to get 3 biohazards on brutal for the Nipah Virus. I've only been able to get 2. It takes soo long to start spreading and takes almost a year to get to Greenland...
ReplyDeleteI also haven't been able to get the Call Peta and I Never Asked For This Achievements. I have seen the news banner about Kim buying a dog, but haven't been able to get the pop-up that the dog died.
Is there a better another way to beat frozen virus? I cannot infect new Zealand and Madagascar no matter how many times i play
ReplyDeleteWell, here it is...smallpox, megabrutal and THREE hazards:
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxKeBEGwyUY
have done it a couple of times so far...also works on my iphone
Tested this out and it indeed works. Thanks for the tip!
DeleteHey Spicy, may I request a guide now? :)
DeleteI'll definitely prioritize making a guide for this one as soon as I get back to my "game guide machine".
DeleteI can confirm this works above for smallpox 3 bio on mega
ReplyDeleteI tried it on android and got two megabrutal bios on my first attempt.
ReplyDeleteIts very close.
You need to adapt the strategy depending on vaccine deployments.
Confirmed 3 mega bios on android.
ReplyDeleteThis is not working for me. The disease is spotted when it infects around 21 people.
ReplyDeleteThey either get a cure too quick or the disease kills too quick.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's a visual bug. It's because it only tracks progress for Brutal and lower on that counter.
ReplyDeleteThanks. That sucks. I tried to go back on a scenario that I already got Mega Brutal on and beat it on Casual, but the 1% didn't budge, so I think I ruined any opportunity to get that counter to say 100% by getting MBs from the start. I hope they fix this eventually.
ReplyDeleteI would assume so. The error is a simply a UI error. (I would assume that since Mega-brutal was recently released the developer hasn't updated the counter to include mega-brutal) I'll look on Ndemic's website and see if I can submit a bug report. The bar at the top of the screen should continue to fill as you complete more scenarios though.
ReplyDeleteCan make a guide for patient who? i'm not able to do it after second pop-up ( or i'm slow or i kill all ward before last pop-up trigger)
ReplyDeleteI tried this over 10 times, every time a failed to infect Greenland, for some reason Spicy's strategy doesn't seem to work for me.
ReplyDeleteCan I just say these guides, for the most part, work perfectly fine for Plague Inc.: Evolved? And I'd like to add a big 'thanks' to that as well, you're making unlocking cheat modes SO easy for me :D
ReplyDeleteAll I can say is that this site is awesome. Kudos to Spicy and all the others for their guides. I'm not sure if I would ever make it through the megabrutal challenges without you guys.
ReplyDeleteProps to Ndemic for making a game that is so fun and frustrating at the same time also.
Do one of the Fungus guides, make sure to play on fungus. Keep following the guide until you have the CDC popup. Immediately get paralysis, Inflammation, then fever. After a bit CDC will tell you that 2 many deaths has accord so the hunt has been stopped.
ReplyDeleteWhat guide are you working on at the moment spicy?
ReplyDeleteCurrently working on Scenario guides, and a mega-brutal strategy for Simian that could finish within 365(completely impossible without a lot of luck).
ReplyDeleteI've been busy with a lot of stuff lately and couldn't bring myself to focus on writing guides. Will post everything I have in the coming days(hopefully).
Couldn't find a guide anywhere for Global Warming Mega-Brutal 3 Biohazards anywhere. Finally met with success after slightly modifying Spicy's Virus Mega-Brutal strategy 2.
ReplyDeleteIs there a way I can formally submit it to this site? So many of the guides here have been helpful that I'd really like to contribute here.
We have a submit section, or you can submit your guide by emailing it directly to me, OR join our team.
ReplyDeleteAhh, there it is. Didn't see it using the Mobile version of the site. I'll work on submitting it soon.
ReplyDeleteAnyone got any tips for megabrutal shut down everything? Its my last scenario. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteHi all, any ideas why zombies just die ridiculously quickly in ice age and global warming scenarios?
ReplyDeleteCan you please please please tell me how to get the Peer Pressure achievement. I'm losing my mind here after trying 20+ times
ReplyDeleteI'm not entirely sure, but i think you can unlock this strategy by using a 'infect the world first' strategy on brutal( maybe mega-brutal?).
ReplyDeleteYou can do said strategy by only evolving transmissions(ones that don't cause mutations.). After a while an event should pop-up stating something about mystery disease etc.
Hope this helps.
Spicy(can't login on my phone. Lol )
Thank you I'm going to try again today and hopefully get something. I was so desperate I clicked Page 2 on Google lol
ReplyDeleteDid you work out peer pressure - I'm following the wikia guide for it and 6 years in no pop up
ReplyDeleteYa its evil I can't figure it out. If I do I'll post it
ReplyDeleteBacteria normal difficulty. Start in Greenland. Evolve air 1 and coughing. Devolve any symptoms that mutate. Wait and u will get 4 pop ups. That's it
ReplyDeleteHonestly, i have tried for 20+ times also, and would run it for hours. I think what it is has to due with difficulty. I finally tried it on a harder difficulty (brutal) with bacteria and started in carribean and it worked first time, idk if i just got lucky but heres my strategy. Only evolve coughing and air 1. Let it run its course and devolve everything else.
ReplyDeleteI simply must thank you all guys for these amazing guides. I was having a very hard time, then I found you. Once again, thank you a lot.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
