Starting Out:
Pick a Starting
Country
|
Pick a Symptom Path
|
Focus on Infectivity
|
This is the first step to starting the game. This will affect
how your plague acts to different climates, but also how quickly your plague
will spread.
|
Symptom paths
effect how your plague interacts with humans.
Learn all of
the deadly, quick killing Symptom Paths Here.
|
Infectivity
is what gains you more dna points. Don't try to kill people too early in the
game. Or else they will have the time needed to finish the cure.

Starting Countries Matter

1.
Saudi Arabia
2.
China
3.
Iraq

Indonesia

Mexico
6.
UK
|
There are the most effective starting countries that I
have found.
Saudi Arabia is my favourite just because of its mass of
airplanes and ships that travel around the world.
|
If you are
having trouble beating a plague on plague inc:
·
Use a better or different starting country
·
Focus on infectivity more until 60% of people are
infected
·
Learn your symptoms.

Pick a symptom path. This is how you will evolve
symptoms for your plague.
Save up DNA points. So that you can buy a
transmission and infect your starting country faster.
I start with Water 1. I find it can increase
infectivity more than air 1.
|
Water 1
Or air 1. But I usually start with water 1.
If you do use air 1 instead first; buy water 1 in the next step
instead.
|
None
Not needed right now.
|
None
Not needed, just like symptoms. Wouldn’t do much
for your plague.
|
31-1,500
|
Watch your screen for tips. The game will give you
news updates and reminders throughout the game. They can be important and
game changing during fighting the cure and killing the world.
You should have around 15 DNA points by now, invest
once again in transmissions.
|
Air 1
|
First Symptom Path Trait.
I picked the coughing path.
But, because the virus mutates a lot I have nausea
& coughing.
|
Still not needed until your plague spreads to a much
larger scale.
These are important later on in the game.
|
15,501-100,000
|
15k - 100k infected took me a couple seconds with:
Water 1
Air 1
Coughing & nausea
You should now have roughly 11 DNA points.
Transmissions will not allow your plague to be
detected as they don't effect humans other than increasing the chance of the
plague spreading.
Keep this in mind. But right now you should invest
in drug resistance to help increase infectivity!
|
Right now you will want to save for more
transmissions.
During this stage, I find drug resistance to be a
good investment.
|
Don't buy any more symptoms.
Because virus mutates more, you will have to
DEVOLVE lethal symptoms.
This is to not alert the humans.
|
Drug Resistance 1
This lets your virus survive treatments from basic
medicine.
This is very effective when starting out.
|
100,001-5,000,000
|
Boom!
Once you purchase the drug resistance you should see
some red bubbles to pop.
Your disease should now be in multiple countries.
This is a good step.
You now have millions infected but still need more
transmission!
Evolve the trait: Air 2.
|
Air 2
This will increase the change of your plague being
spread by airplanes.
|
Not yet! Devolve any lethal symptoms for now.
This is the reason most people struggle with virus.
They aren't aware that the free traits aren't
helpful.
|
None for now.
|
5,000,000-50,000,000
|
You should have around 17 DNA points by this point.
Congradulations. You have infected over 1% of the
world. 50m.
Keep an eye on government activities around the
world.
Evolve water 2 & remember to devolve those
annoying, random symptoms that keep popping up for "free".
|
Water 2
This will increase the movement of your plague
through waterways.
This helps infect Greenland!
|
You can keep the less harmful ones.
Symptoms can raise awareness of your plague.
Isn't good at this point of the game.
|
These will help stop the cure.
|
50m-80m
|
You have been spotted!
This is the point the government has noticed the
virus.
The spread of your plague has slowed down from the
5m-50m jump by now. And they are now aware of you.
Keep spreading. Evolve Extreme Bioaerosol to boost
your transmission and to infect the still healthy countries.
|
Extreme Bioaerosol
|
Keep devolving.

80m-2b!
|
Billions now infected..
Good.
You should have just under 80 DNA points that can
be used to start the beginning of the end!
I continue on my coughing path by purchasing
sneezing & Pneumonia.
Cold resistance will be effective in infecting
Greenland & Canada.
|
Sneezing
Pneumonia
|
Cold Resistance 1
|
|
2b-2.5b
|
Cure is started.
The cure will not have much funding as it has just
begun.
You will not have to worry about the cure until it
reaches 80+ %.
Now evolve Pulmonary Oedema. This will once again
increase infectivity.
Bird 1 and Insect 1 will help to boost infectivity
in almost all countries. This will help infect the rest of the healthy
population!
|
Bird 1
Insect 1
|
Pulmonary Oedema
|
Heat 1
(if you have extra points you don't want to save)
|
2.5-4b
|
You should now have over 100 DNA points. 4 billion
is large part of the world.
The cure should have less than 5% by now as well.
This is the perfect time to become hostile. Evolve:
Pulmonary Fibrosis
Total Organ Failure
Insomnia
Rash
Sweating
With left over DNA points evolve Rodents 1.
|
Rodent 1
|
Pulmonary Fibrosis
Total Organ Failure
Insomnia
Rash
Sweating
|
Genetic Hardening 1
|
4b-6b
|
By now a country should have started to lead cure
research on a global level.
Also, your first death will cause countries to worry
about how far spread you have become.
Pop the blue bubbles!
The world leaders will now start to kill off animals
carrying your disease and close ports, airports & borders.
Now it is a race to see if you can kill before they
can cure.
Evolve all symptoms you can. But buy a couple
transmissions if you have spare dna points.
|
None

Coma
Skin Lesions
Seizures

None

6b-7b

Annoying Cold Countries.
Buy Cold Resistance 2.
Purchase Necrosis to make the dead bodies around
the world a source of infection.
Purchase as many symptoms to kill as you can.
|
None
|
Insanity
Necrosis
|
None, unless cure is 80%+
Then buy:
Genetic Reshuffle 1
|
Endgame
|
Buy genetic reshuffle to blow the cure off. This
will make sure that you will succeed.
Continue evolving your virus as much as you can. All
symptoms help out at this point of the game.
No healthy people in the world - this is one of the
last steps to defeating the world.
|
Insect 2
|
Internal Hemorrhaging
Fever
|
buy:
Genetic Reshuffle 1 & 2
