How to unlock the Complete Volcanic Ash achievement

    Use the Neurax Worm virus.
    You can get this achievement playing on casual difficulty.

    Gene Setup:

    Metabolic Jump
    Genetic Mimic
    Native Biome
    Extremophile
    Trans-Stasis.

    1. Start in India

    2. Evolve ALL the transmissions, but evolve these five Transmissions and this Ability first:

    Genetic Swap
    Corpse Feeder 1 and 2
    Mutative Regeneration 1 and 2
    Trojan Planes 1 (This is the key to infect the islands only available by sea)

    3. From here on out, send the planes to any island (you'll see an orange plane icon pop up from Trojan Planes, click it then select the country to infect) if they haven't been infected yet. Start in Greenland, then Iceland, then Caribbean. You choose the islands after that. If all the islands are infected, then go after healthy countries next. If every country is infected, go after the biggest research contributor.

    4. Evolve Cold Resistance 1 & 2, then Drug Resistance 1 & 2

    5. Evolve these Symptoms if they haven't mutated yet (the first two are basically always mutated by this time):
    Neural Breach
    Cerebral Tendrils
    Frontal Mesh
    Immaturity
    Mania
    Obsession
    Devotion
    Adoration
    Transcendence

    6. Rest of the DNA can go to whatever you choose. I prefer going after the evolutions that increase infectivity, though. If for some reason your cure % is getting high, you can use Genetic ReShuffle 1 & 2 if necessary.


    NOTE: There is a luck factor in this game. If this doesn't work for you, try again or change some slight details to fit your preference. This method worked for me 1st try. The key to getting 3 stars is days for the win and lowest possible research %.

    ProjectSixHaha it does work very well for a lot of these scenarios. Almost too easy.

    Lazlo MournI see you put this exact same solution for 95% of the Scenarios and while I have no problem with it you ALWAYS list Corpse Feeder 1 & 2 as high priorities to be bought pretty much before anything else.

    Why?

    They only increase infectivity when people start dying and this early in every game you don't have lethality with the worm to take advantage of this.

    I mean it's only a few points but they'd usually be better spent anywhere else at this stage of the game.

    Not bashing, just curious on your thoughts for what seems to be a waste of 4 DNA at the earliest and most crucial stage of a playthrough?
