Achievements

Achievements are gained for performing certain tasks during the game, or by the popularity of your creations. Cheating will interfere with gaining Achievements, and there is a known bug that causes cheating to block all future games from getting achievements. Be aware that some Achievements may contain spoilers. Note Hidden Achievements have been placed in the Hidden section and not in the section in which they can be earnt.

Creature Stage Achievements

 * Everyone's BFF - Finish the Creature stage by befriending at least 20 other species.
 * See note below.


 * Foe - Extinct at least 20 other species in Creature stage.

 * Max Power - Build a creature with max stats in at least four abilities while playing the Creature stage.


 * Survivor - Complete the Creature stage without dying.


 * Socialite - Meet 200 creatures made by other players.


 * Flight of the Bumblebee - Fly for over 200 meters without touching the ground.
 * A suggestion to people attempting this Achievement is to create a creature with two pairs of legs, one with a high jump rating, one with a high sprint rating and a pair of wings with a high glide rating. Then to jump from a very high hill while sprinting.  Using a spice vent mid-jump to stay afloat, may be useful, but is not necessary to get the achievement.
 * Because you only have a certain number of 'flaps' while airborne before your creature gets bored, flapping right as you start to descend at full speed will bring you on a longer lower flight than flapping as quickly as you can. I was able to get it only after using the method.
 * Going into to water with high glide wings works since it's not touching the ground, although there are some risks. Staying close to the edge is possible, but not necessary. The achievement is usually unlocked when a creature gets eaten in mid-water
 * This is easy if you start flying from a volcano with high glide wings
 * Or you could get thrown by an epic, but there are some negative consequences.
 * Devourer - Eat 50 different species across any number of games.

Hidden Achievements
Most Achievements list the requirements to gain them when the game starts; however there are 10 Achievements that do not have their requirements listed at the start of the game. Where known these are listed below:


 * Bad Baby! - Have one of your assets banned.
 * In order to get this achievement one of your shared creations needs to be banned from the spore servers. (But your account will be suspended for 7 days)
 * Can't Win For Losing - Die at least once in every stage of Spore.
 * Hint: Your deaths can be spread across any number of games.
 * Pathological Cheater - Use a cheat more than 50 times.
 * Get the Joker badge, 50 times. This achievement is slightly finicky. Loading a space stage save game, cheating, and then quitting without saving 50 times works.  Starting a new space stage game, cheating, and quitting without saving doesn't work, however.
 * General Custer - Lead 30 posse members to their death in the Creature Stage.
 * Cerberus - Evolve a creature with three heads in the Creature Stage.
 * You have to use three different mouths which can be placed anywhere in the body.
 * Slugger - Finish Creature Stage without using legs.
 * You need to go through the entire stage without legs (finish Cell stage without legs), 1 single edit with legs makes it not work anymore (not even if you sell them later).
 * Medic - Heal one of your tribe members back to full health 5x in a single game during the Tribal Stage.
 * Easiest way: Bring about 2 medics (heal wand holders) and 1 torcher (flame torch holder - worst creature-creature fighter) to a wild animal nest. Have your torcher attack the alpha ones, and leave the medics a lil behind, but still in sight for the torcher.
 * Conclusion - Finish the Civilization stage by launching ICBMS and destroying all other cities.
 * Hint: Only military societies have the ICBM option.
 * Fear of Flying - Complete the Civilization stage without buying any air vehicles.
 * Oh the Humanity - Gained for destroying Earth using a Planet Buster in the Space Stage.
 * Note: You still get the achievement if you save, destroy the earth, and then reload your save.
