    thanatos8285 posted a guide for Disease Annihilator.

    Credit to Pandaman822 at TA for this solution. I take no credit for it, I am simply porting it here to disseminate the solution to as many sites as possible.

    Start a game on the easiest difficulty - 2 epidemics only.

    The Medic is strongly recommended based on their ability to clear cubes of cured diseases quickly . I would also recommend the Dispatcher to be able to move the Medic 4 additional moves each round when you are attempting to Eradicate diseases.

    Recommended Characters: Researcher, Scientist, Medic (+Dispatcher if you're struggling to clear cubes)

    Strategy
    To have all 4 diseases Eradicated when you win the game, you have to either cure the 4th disease with no cubes at all on the board, or cure the 4th disease with the Medic occupying the same space as the last cubes on the board (they will get cleared once the disease is cured). Your goal throughout should be to eradicate diseases as you go, leaving yourself less work at the end where you might run out of time. As you get down to 2 or 1 diseases left to cure/eradicate, try and remember which cards are in the infection pile so you can locate your characters strategically for easy treating of cubes as they come on the board.

    ***My additions:
    So in addition to Pandaman822's solution, I have a few extra thoughts. Yellow is the hardest disease to treat due to the limited routes of travel within Africa and South America. Eradicate yellow as quickly as possible, and if you find yourself in a game with a lot of yellow cities in the draw pile, seriously consider bailing on that game and starting a new one. The ideal game is one in which you can cure and eradicate yellow within the first round.

    Hold on to One Quiet Night and Forecaster once you get them. It takes long enough to eradicate all 4 diseases that you'll basically run out the entire deck, so there's a 99% chance you WILL have them. Most ideal situation is to use those two cards to ensure that your board is completely clean by the time the scientist is at bat and can cure/eradicate the last disease in one fell swoop. Second most ideal situation is to use those cards to ensure that your medic is standing in the last (and only) infected city when the disease is cured so that the cubes are immediately cleared.

    Collect 5 cards of one color (4 for the Scientist), get to a research station, select the cure option, and done.

    thanatos8285 posted a guide for Dream Team.

    See the solution for Pandemic God. The only change here would be for the medic to meander around the world while the scientist and researcher are played the same way. Use the medic to clear out any areas at risk of an outbreak, but otherwise do not worry about any cards he has.

    thanatos8285 posted a guide for Eradication!.

    Once a disease has been cured, clear all of the disease cubes of that color from the board. The medic is especially useful for this, as once a disease has been cured, he clears all disease cubes of that color from a city simply by entering it, no turns need to be spent.

    thanatos8285 posted a guide for Easy but Not so Easy.

    See the solution for Pandemic God. Simply play one of the games on Normal difficulty (listed as introductory here in the achievement, but this is awarded for beating a game on Normal difficulty - the 3rd highest). The same method used to grind to 100 games is also used to win a game on Heroic difficulty, so it will work for this as well.

    Difficulty achievements do not stack, you will need to specifically play a game on Normal.

    See the solution for Pandemic God. Simply play one of the games on Hard difficulty (listed as Standard here in the achievement, but this is awarded for beating a game on Hard difficulty - the 2nd highest). The same method used to grind to 100 games is also used to win a game on Heroic difficulty, so it will work for this as well.

    Difficulty achievements do not stack, you will need to specifically play a game on Hard.

    thanatos8285 posted a guide for The World Needs a Hero.

    See the solution for Pandemic God. While not specifically targeted to this achievement, the method detailed there is basically your only shot. The only addition would be that if you cannot cure a disease within the first round (i.e. after one turn each by the Scientist and Researcher), quit and start a new game. If a disease can be easily eradicated, this will also benefit you (i.e. blue can be eradicated within 1 turn by moving to Washington or Montreal).

    Start a game on the lowest difficulty with just the Researcher and Scientist (in that order). Do not worry about treating diseases, just leave both players in Atlanta for the whole game. Just allow both characters to collect cards until you have the 4 cards needed to cure a disease (no matter who has them). Then, since both characters are in the same city, the Researcher's ability can be used to pass any card to the Scientist regardless of whose turn it is. Just keep getting sets of 4 cards to the Scientist and curing diseases. Games can be as quick as 3 minutes using this method.

    This isn't a surefire method to win every game, but you'll will better than 85% of games this way. Sometimes outbreaks are just clustered too close together, unlucky draws can make curing diseases take too long, and poorly-timed epidemics can wreck you. If you can see a game going south early on (your initial 3-cube cities all being adjacent, for example), exit out and start a new game, it's not worth your time to salvage a bad start.

    thanatos8285 posted a guide for Fuzz Off!.

    As you progress in the game, the police chief will steadily deploy more and more police officers to the streets in their stupid little golf carts. There's no need to make a specific effort to unlock this achievement, as sooner or later you'll need to destroy a cop car in order to get away to return a Jinjo or just get them off your back after accidentally bumping into them while returning a crate. Destroy any of these cop carts to pop the achievement.

    thanatos8285 posted a guide for Start to Free the Showdown Six.

    6 Jinjos are locked up around Showdown Town. You'll know they're around because a speech bubble will appear at the bottom of the screen with them pleading for you to free them. The cells are also fairly conspicuous. There will be a lever to unlock the cell in the immediate area around each of the cells, but they are not always easy to find. Once you do find them and free the Jinjo, you will need to transport the Jinjo back to his (her?) house. As you get further into the game, more police will appear and increase the difficulty of doing this somewhat, but it never gets unsustainable.

    thanatos8285 posted a guide for Vigilante.

    Once you have freed a Jinjo from a prison, that prison will remain empty until you find a Minjo, smack it with your wrench, and carry it back to the jail. Minjos are quite small and difficult to see at times, so explore the general area around the various jail cells and listen for an evil cackle. Once you hear it, look very closely at the ground as you move around the area, and eventually you should see the little bastards scurrying around. They can be tricky to smack with your wrench because they turn on a dime and you can't perpetually swing your wrench, but they aren't super fast, and they stay in the same general area without disappearing. Just keep after them and you'll smack one eventually. Once you do, a marker will appear to guide you to the nearest empty jail cell.

    thanatos8285 posted a guide for Bingo!.

    Each Jinjo challenge you complete in the various levels gives you another colored Jinjo token. When you find King Jingaling's Palace, you will be shown a Bingo card that you can use those tokens on. Complete any line or column on that board and collect the prize to get this achievement. Note that there needs to be a sufficient number of boxes in the line/column before there will be a prize available to claim, and this is a necessary component. So this will not work with any lines/columns that have only 1, 2, 3, 4, or possibly 5 boxes in them (will check tonight when I get home and update this accordingly... I'm sure everyone is waiting with baited breath to hear about my updated solution on an 11 year old game in the middle of a weekday).

    thanatos8285 posted a guide for Massive Damage.

    There's no reason this achievement should be classified as Rare. Right in the middle of the ground level of the Logbox 720 level, there is a glass case with a brain in it and 5 gold connectors on each side connecting it to the circuit board underneath you. Break off each of the 10 connectors, and the achievement is yours. You do not even need a vehicle, Banjo can simple break them off using his wrench. In fact, given the wonky collision physics in the game, I actually recommend that.

    thanatos8285 posted a guide for L.O.G. Master.

    Win Sunday League, Premier League!, Are You Trophy Thomas?, and L.O.G. Master by starting up a local multiplayer league, plugging in a second controller, setting the league to all games and races, and letting it run. You and the second controller will tie for first place every round.

    L.O.G. Master will pop after the 7th DLC game finishes.
    Are You Trophy Thomas? will pop after the 20th game.
    Sunday League and Premier League! will pop at the conclusion of the 34th game.

    This can be somewhat sped up by actively playing the games since the races will start a 30 second countdown once a racer finishes, and the race will finish when the timer expires.
