Plague Inc. Not Another Zombie Game Achievement Guide & Walkthrough

The Not Another Zombie Game, NAZG for short, is an achievement that can only be unlocked by playing the special plague type, Necroa Virus. As NAZG's description suggests, you'll need to win a game without the use of zombies--totally defeats the purpose of Necroa Virus being the simulated zombie apocalypse, huh? If you've already tried to this by yourself, you'll realize that it isn't easy to do even at Casual difficulty. This is because without zombies, you kill people at an extremely slow rate, which in turn let's countries take their sweet time in developing a cure. With this guide, we'll make countries fear the Necroa Virus even without the zombies-too much zombie games today anyway.

I'll explain a few things before we continue on with the guide. Basically, we'll rely on news banners and pop-up events to help us slow down the cure to a crawl. By forcing these events to happen, the world will make an assumption that our virus is a form of rabies, but in the end they'll find themselves scratching their heads and totally stop the development of a cure--I guess being wrong really affected their confidence.

The only thing I can think of that can make you fail are mutations. Obviously, you'd want to avoid the mutation of Cytopathic Reanimation which triggers zombie mode. DNA will be scarce so devolving wouldn't really be advisable. If this happens, nothing to do but restart.

The NAZG achievement also takes a long time to finish. The most recent game I did finished at 2,000+ days. Patience will really be tested. That about covers everything, I guess. Now, the guide.

Gene setup:

• Cytochrome Surge
• Aerocyte
• Creationist
• Xerophile
• No Zombies so no zombie genes.

1.) Start in India

2.) Evolve Saliva 1, Zoonotic Shift, and Bat 1

3.) Keep an eye on the news banner and wait for this news to appear:

Colony of rabid bats triggers town evacuation

If this doesn't appear when India is completely infected, Start over.

4.) After seeing the news banner above, devolve Bat 1

5.) Evolve Drug Resistance 1, Genetic Hardening, and Genetic Re-Shuffle 1 & 2

6.) Again, wait for these two news banners to appear before continuing on:

WHO starts Rabies Eradication Initiative

Film about Rabies epidemic becomes global hit

7.) Once you've seen both new banners above continue by evolving Gastrointestinal Expansion and Cold Resistance 1 & 2

8.) Wait until the world is completely infected. (No Healthy person left pop-up appears)

9.) Evolve the following: Insomnia, Fever, Photophobia, Coma, Acute Encephalitis, and Hyper Salivation.

10.) Wait for this pop-up to appear

[plague name] is a form of Rabies

11.) Immediately devolve Zoonotic Shift after seeing the pop-up above.

12.) After some time, the final pop-up should appear

[plague name]/Rabies link 'false'

After seeing this pop-up, the cure should slow down significantly and after a while should stop completely. You are now free to eradicate humanity without the use of zombies. The whole process of killing take a long time, a really really long time. This is where your patience will be slightly tested.

If nothing goes wrong like mutating Cytopathic Reanimation, you'll finish this game with ease. If somehow that zombie symptom mutates, try to devolve it right away.

I hope this guide has helped you unlock the NAZG achievement. Thanks for reading this guide and Happy Spicy Gaming!
