I mean, TBF on the complaints of having to complete it so many times, Spore wasn't exactly designed with 100%ing it in mind. It was meant to reward long-term play. I've been playing it for years and I still haven't gotten 100% simply because I just enjoy it for casual play. Infinite replayability is a hell of a thing.
I guess it's meant to be 100%ed, but you're meant to do it over a few years, not a few weeks. The fact that they had achievements for completing each stage 10 times, and one for each archetype, meant that you're probably supposed to do playthroughs of each archetype separately, and get them that way. Also, the first stage is usually the most fun, which is why you play through that 25 times
I don't think that will even happen since the studio went out of business and it's a abandoned game Your best bet is to find the many spore successors that tried to make a "spore like game"
@Falling_Down i disagree. Going from cell to a galaxy spanning civilization is a really cool concept. Problem is the tribal-space stages were so rushed that it just falls flat. If given the proper care, it would work really well
Yeah. I think one of the problems with spore is that it changes the genre and gameplay so drastically. While other people may enjoy taking over the galaxy and/or building a civilization, i just wanna create a behemoth destruction monster. Then again, i guess i could just go play Terratech if thats what i wanted, so my opinion doesnt matter too much.
@@nothingtoseehere9648 I mean, the studio was Maxis. It didn't really go out of business, more so EA killed it and merged it into the greater EA ecosystem (ie basically relegated the Maxis team to make Sims and nothing else).,
Fun fact: there is a really small chance for both an Epic and a creature pack of the same species to spawn in the creature stage. If you befriend the pack of the Epic's species, you also befriend the epic. The epic won't attack you, but they very much will attack your teammates for some reason. It's Also funny to see the titanous terror of the creature stage happily wave at you as if you've been friends since the beginning of time.

Ah, the nostalgia of games without autosaves! I still compulsively save games every 15 minutes now because I lost way too many hours in childhood games lol

Manual save buffering, while inconvenient, is a valuable skill in gaming and I'm glad I grew up playing games that forced me to learn it.

Plus it's a skill that translates outside of gaming, stuff like video/image/audio editing can be improved by having it! having several project files for one wip image is a bit overkill but I'm paranoid and it's been a lifesaver like one time so it's worth it. Honestly I must have spent a lot of my life taking the time to manually save at this point, even in games that autosave and are more reliable than modded Skyrim. Even have a systematic way I go about doing manual saves. Rant's over after this sentence but seriously I love manual saving so much, especially when the save system lets me have like 20 save files with an extra few autosaves and BONUS points for if I can fiddle with the autosave settings so it autosaves every 3 minutes and gets triggered by like any action.

He made LOTS of things harder. He could have just done it in an omnivore run with the raptor beak(I think its called skexy beast or smth. It should have 5 bite 5 sing iirc) and recruited rogues before evolving to Tribal for ease of killing.
You can also confuse the epic as its AI gets bugged out if you get it to your base nest as epics have a built in instruction so it doesn't spawn camp you over and over. Altough it needs some specific things to achieve and I was like 12 when I last attempted it.
i didnt see the comment, but the Llama's are an unofficial Sims/Maxis mascot that still kind of exists in other sim games (sim city/sim park/spore/the sims) and "Steve" at the end is the actual Sims/Maxis mascot which you can see flying around in the opening cinematics of games. sim city had it the most i think. Sims/Maxis had a lot of characters and references that followed through to their other games. one of my favorite small easter eggs was in sim ant where if you click on a certain button it for some reason shows you 2 cows sitting in a window as a reference to the old operating system "Windows 2000" (windowed 2 cows-and)
I swear I have the Simlish from Civ and Space stage from this game burned into my brain. The laugh followed by 'diplo blarka!' haunts me in my sleep. And yes, this game is made by Maxis. The Sims people. The Spore creatures speak Simlish.
I'm like, 90 percent sure this isn't true. in creature stage? yes. but in cell stage? i swear upon all of my living, dead and undead relatives that i get faster once i add more flagella
@@marsfridge when you pay for another flagella, yeah, but if I make the flagella go on both sides of my creature, it’s no fast than only 1 side, you only get the speed bonus if you pay for it with dna
The Donzo look like that divorced balding dad that isn't a bad person but was just in a loveless marriage. He tries his best for his kids, maybe doesn't understand all of their new fads and interests, but he supports them in any way he can. He's also on good terms with his ex, Enzo, who recently transitioned. They say Donzo was the one who helped Enzo through the tough decision, and he appreciates him for it, but they're happy just staying friends after. We love you, Donzo.
seeing seanie struggle with this game when i had a hyperfocus on it as a kid is kinda funny "you have to play thru the WHOLE GAME. TEN TIMES!" "oh i did that! didn't know it gave you achievements, i could've gotten them all, huh."
The reason why the cursor sometimes doesn't work correctly is, because of Alt Tabbing out of the game. For some reason when you alt tab out and back into the game, it breaks the cursor and you have to press Alt+Enter twice to fix it.
I think you might have forgotten that one of the Spore's DLCs - Galactic Adventures also has achievements. Good luck on that one, if you're ever attempting it
I had that exact same experience but I never got past the space stage I always quit after getting horrendously lost and dying over and over again because I didn't know fuel was a mechanic
Bro, I hated the city stage so much as a kid that I developed a consistent strategy to win it as easily as possible. Step 1. End the creature stage at a nest that is close to the shoreline. (Also, it helps the tribal stage if you give your creature some last minute offense, like parts that give you the ability to spit poison, swipe, charge, sneak, etc.) Step 2. When your city begins, DROP EVERYTHING AND MAKE YOUR SEA AND LAND VEHICLES ASAP. When you make them, PRIORITIZE SPEED ABOVE ALL ELSE. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS Step 3. MAKE A BUNCH OF VEHICLES AND CAPTURE EVERY SINGLE SPICE GEIZER YOU CAN REACH. IF YOURE FAST ENOUGH, YOU CAN CAPTURE EVERY GEIZER ON YOUR CONTINENT AND IN THE OCEAN BEFORE ANYONE ELSE CAN GET THEIR SWEATY MITTS ON THEM Step 4. If you didn’t evolve into an economics city, keep a weather eye out for the types of cities forming. Step 5. As soon as an economic city appears, AQUIRE IT! Before they have a chance to do anything! Step 6. When you capture the city, choose to keep it as an economic city. Step 7. Form trade routes with literally everyone (this is another part where the speedy cars and boats come in handy), prioritizing those who own spice geizers on other continents. Step 8. Wait for everyone to submit to your empire of capitalism as they beg you to buy their city with your mountains of money Of course, this doesn’t exactly help with some of the achievements 😂
@@Afraglis créature stage was always easiest for me. As a kid, fighting scared me so I was always friendly but that breaks down in the Civ stage since religious is actually incredibly aggressive gameplay-wise. So I came up with this strategy lol
LMAO I was so caught of guard by the "raffiolio" quote, I always loved mimicking the space stage creatures' lines as a kid and some of them are eternally burned into my brain
I love Spore. I am, however, very aware that Spore was made to be played in a spam of Years, instead of a Days. Thank you for the video and I pity all that.
So... fun fact: You don't need to do a complete, cell-to-space run for each archetype achievement. You can start in later stages and still get an archetype in the Space stage. You can even start in the Space stage and just grind your levels from there (but you won't have the abilities you'd get from playing through the earlier stages). You can also change your archetype while you're playing the Space stage by doing quests for an allied empire with a different archetype, which means you could just save right before hitting Master Badge Rank 10, hit Rank 10, load, do a Switch Archetype quest, hit Rank 10, load, and repeat the process for every archetype you can switch into. The only archetypes you can't change into are Knight (which don't spawn randomly, and if you encounter a Knight archetype Empire you made, they'll give you the quest to become a Warrior) and Wanderer (which you can only get by starting in the Space stage). Edit: And that's exactly what you did. Teaches me to post a comment before watching the entire video.
Additional fun fact: It is possible to bribe the Grox into friendship to get to the core faster. The only caveat is it causes EVERY OTHER EMPIRE IN THE GALAXY, EVEN IF THEY HAVEN'T MET YOU, TO AUTOMATICALLY DECLARE WAR ON YOU!!! You can also wipe out Grox worlds by simply... Converting them to a healthy terra score. Yep. That easy. They'll fight back, of course, but you can just zip around and evade them the whole time.
@@jeffisaperson4471yeah death by terraforming op in general, but especially with the grox, and honestly I find it easier to just run past the grox, I did dancing with the devil last lol
As someone who's hyperfixation was spore, not recruiting alphas during creature stage was a mistake, tribal stage gift ambush strategy was mine too. Also when you reach civilization stage, quickly build as much cars and take over all the spice and destroy all villages before they advance. Space stage idc it gets boring after a while.
About the "run over tribes people" in Civilization stage: There is a way to identify a tribe that will damage vehicles (they're in middle of the region's line, there already exists a tribe closer to the middle of the region or is in a region with a spice geyzer.
Warrior tribal isn’t too tough if you’re smart about it. Keep in mind that for this stage, your creature stage stats still matter- mostly speed and flight for quicker movement across the map, but also their built in weapons can help. Take your time to build up resources before taking down brown village, to delay the others from popping up. You MUST be ready for when the others pop up to prevent the massacres of this video. Tame animals so they lay eggs for you- it’s an easy and constant supply of food. Even on herbivore playthroughs, this free food can be used for buildings and gifts. Any allied creatures from the previous stage will automatically become tamed animals for your tribe, which can give a much needed early game food boost. Plus, they’ll fight for your tribe! There’s a super easy glitch you can pull off to duplicate eggs to minimize costs, basically you change your graphics settings right as the egg is hatching and the animation will repeat and produce another egg. If you don’t want to use exploits that’s understandable, it’s just really cool! Gift and serenade hostile villages once to prevent them from attacking you- since you’re not fully allied, you can decide from there whether to befriend or backstab them. It might seem counterproductive to a hostile playthrough, but you will still get it if you want to, all while avoiding the headache of raids. Hell, the others will even bring you gifts, unaware of your true intentions! This may seem like what you did, but gifts will only last for a little bit- still useful, but serenading them once to make them friendly lasts until you attack them, letting you take your time with the rest of the villages.
If you gift a tribe member directly instead of their food pile the neutral status stays forever, a little oversight of the developers that can be exploited, though even without that the food pile gift's neutral turning into slightly angry over time still isn't that bad because all they do is steal your food now and then, still better than raids happening. Another fun fact is that it wasn't possible to gift members directly in the first 1.00 version of the game, it was added in patch 1.01
I have a strategy for beating other tribes: Step 1: wait for them to attack first Step 2: Slaughter the raiders with your superior numbers Step 3: go to the other tribe and slaughter the remaining tribal members Enjoy
I always love watching the creature, structure and vehicle designs people come up with in spore but for the first time i felt only a small sense of dread combined with a subtle taste of repulsion. Great job, love your work!
i feel like spore is one of those games that has an INSANELY good premise and is full of INSANELY good concepts that just isn't very fun to actually play
I think the idea of mastering 10 different Archetypes is because you're playing over a long time, so they're more like long-term goals to reach. They only get to be the worst if you're speedrunning or trying to do an achievement grind and are not being a casual player...
My best friend has around 20 THOUSAND hours in Spore (she's played it for basically her whole gaming life) and she doesn't even come close to having all achievements. I showed her this video and her reaction to the title alone was complete despair.
@@XYZB0RG Someone with 20K hours in the game automatically knows that it's not possible to get all achievements at this point, so neither she nor I have any problems with the title. Not for a game like this. With the exception of PvZ 2 he has always managed to get max % and in that case it was also the fact that some achievements were impossible to get. I totally support his decision to not get some of these when he's already done so much. A lot of them were plain stupid and grindy for no reason.
you could call all of them grindy, not get any of the achievements at all and call it a 100% with that logic. I don't care if he doesn't want to do all of them. just don't call it a 100% when its barely over half
Spore (Japanese: キノコのほうし Mushroom Spore) is a non-damaging Grass-type move introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation III, it was the signature move of Paras and Parasect. Description : The user scatters bursts of spores that induce sleep. - Base Power ; 100 accuracy. Do not affect grass types pokemon, Pokemon with the « Overcoat » ability, or Pokemon equipped with the « safety googles » item. Blocked by protection moves Bounced back to the original user by Magic Coat or the Magic Bounce Ability. Cannot bypass a substitute (except in Generation I )
You just unlocked a repressed memory in me. I sometimes remembered playing this game on my friend's computer but i could never remember the specifics of it or how it was called. Im actually so happy right now 😭
This was literally the only game I played as a kid lol I only ever gunned it to the center in space stage, a lot of people don’t realize if you have diff species in your party when you go from creature to tribal you get to keep them and they lay eggs for you :3
Gotta try to be a Zelot in the space stage. Most OP power in space stage. Also helps to ally the Grox. I'm actually surprised that allying the Grox wasn't 1 of the many crazy achievements in this game. Combat in any stage of Spore is something I never figured out. Hats off to you for knocking off an Epic in the creature stage; I think I spent of all of 30 mins trying and concluded it was impossible. Yes the space stage is super boring , tedious, and not really unique as you go through. I never could find Earth either or even figure out how I was meant to use wormholes unless I wrote my own map out with the complicated names given to wormholes.
If anyone is wondering why the galactic center achievement is called “42”, this is a reference to the book “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy”, where people create a machine that says the answer to life, the universe, and everything. The response they get is simply “42”. Neat little reference by the developers.
Pro tip for my fellow Spore enjoyers out there: the game tends to crash any time you die, but if you skip the death cutscene by pressing escape, the game won't crash anymore. You're welcome.
1:02:46 skill issue, as a kid I just turned the camera to be top down and could see which star is in the circle. (At least I remember doing that, don't have a copy on my hands to see if it's possible)
Fun fact, you can befriend the grogs by planet busting and becoming an enemy of everyone else. This makes getting to the center faster and easier since you don’t have to be bombarded by them
19:14 this is why, as a looooooong time spore player, i never play on Hard mode anymore. The tribal stage single handedly ruins the entire experience. Cell and Creature stages are really not a huge jump in difficulty compared to Normal, Civilization, while definitely harder, is still more than doable, and Space stage is just a numbers game if I recall correctly, it just makes having good relations and the odds of random events like ecosystem collapses and grox/pirate attacks higher for the most part. But Tribal stage?? Tribal stage makes you want to literally rip your freaking hair right out of your head and punch your monitor. "omg can i play the game for 3 seconds" lmao
Fun fact: the cursor problem is actually cause by alt-tabbing. If at any time you alt-tab while you're playing the game, the clicking part of the cursor will be displaced until you entirely restart the game.
Actually it can be circumvented by either going to the settings and changing the aspect ratio of the game or just putting the game in windowed mode, I just play in windowed mode.
Crash and lack of autosave at around ten minutes in? yerp Game loading your corpse from the lack of save? YEP. Full experience. This is the entire reason i stopped playing the game.. and your video here, may well make me pick it back up.
53:10 Raf e olio and Raf e olio, friend (i love this game and played it so much as a kid) (also using this line here is inaccurate since this line is specific to being a military player, but honestly i didnt even know you got different ones until i looked it up lmao)
Selling everything from the cities you've conquered to get a shitload of money is basically galactic scavenging. Disassemble and sell everything. Damn, it would be quite interesting to make a sci-fi setting with this idea...
Did you really make a video "100%"ing spore without allying with OR destroying the grox? Is that why you just barely mentioned them for one sentence at the very end of the video? You didn't think people would notice?
HOLY CRAP SOMEONE ACTUALLY DID IT OH MY GOD- Hands down to you 😩👌 I've always thought about doing it, but jesus chrust I could never, mainly because of one achievement. I will say, I've only seen it done a few times, and that's 'The badge outta heck,' which is a name in itself. In short: Eliminate the Grox. Make them extinct. All almost 5000 planets and 2700 star systems. It's an absolute pain, and my world got corrupted when I was SO close to halfway through, which made me give up. It's be absolutely hilarious (and awesome) to see you try to go through that one
The tribal stage is a million times easier if you use gifts to stave off attacks from the more aggressive tribes. Then you can focus on the weaker tribes while you build up forces to take out the more aggressive ones. I know this advice is probably too little too late, but as someone who also completed this game on the hardest difficulty, I thought you'd like to know :D
Adding an achievement for having something banned is crazy, who thought that was a good idea? And yes the circular range indicator in space stage is ridiculous. Especially when there are things that use spheres, it's not as if they couldn't do it. They made the conscious decision to make it a circle.

Crashing is super rare, if you save frequently it won't be a problem. The game is still worth experiencing at least once.

Note - Oh, and finding your siblings/roommates/etc ingame when they're goofy enough to agree to share a galaxy/save is, uh... *Fun :3*
Yeah. Going in with the goal to 100% everything often ruins the experience.
just lacked the core 'long-term play' appeal.
I guess it's meant to be 100%ed, but you're meant to do it over a few years, not a few weeks.

Sims/Maxis had a lot of characters and references that followed through to their other games. one of my favorite small easter eggs was in sim ant where if you click on a certain button it for some reason shows you 2 cows sitting in a window as a reference to the old operating system "Windows 2000" (windowed 2 cows-and)
I swear I have the Simlish from Civ and Space stage from this game burned into my brain. The laugh followed by 'diplo blarka!' haunts me in my sleep.
And yes, this game is made by Maxis. The Sims people. The Spore creatures speak Simlish.
You’re really crawling up an insert!

Fun fact! Doubling the flagella doesn't change your speed. The game counts how many "individual" parts you got, mirroed ones don't count
I'm like, 90 percent sure this isn't true. in creature stage? yes. but in cell stage? i swear upon all of my living, dead and undead relatives that i get faster once i add more flagella
@@marsfridgepretty sure they mean like, the mirrored parts. those only count as 1.
@@marsfridge MIRRORED*******
@@marsfridge when you pay for another flagella, yeah, but if I make the flagella go on both sides of my creature, it’s no fast than only 1 side, you only get the speed bonus if you pay for it with dna
The Donzo look like that divorced balding dad that isn't a bad person but was just in a loveless marriage. He tries his best for his kids, maybe doesn't understand all of their new fads and interests, but he supports them in any way he can.
He's also on good terms with his ex, Enzo, who recently transitioned. They say Donzo was the one who helped Enzo through the tough decision, and he appreciates him for it, but they're happy just staying friends after.

seeing seanie struggle with this game when i had a hyperfocus on it as a kid is kinda funny
"you have to play thru the WHOLE GAME. TEN TIMES!"
"oh i did that! didn't know it gave you achievements, i could've gotten them all, huh."
27:45 "Its a space game with a kinda long intro" so true dude
you have a 51% chance to stop
The reason why the cursor sometimes doesn't work correctly is, because of Alt Tabbing out of the game. For some reason when you alt tab out and back into the game, it breaks the cursor and you have to press Alt+Enter twice to fix it.
leave it to seanie dew to show me that this game ive had since it came out in 2008 has a secret ending ive never even heard of before
I think you might have forgotten that one of the Spore's DLCs - Galactic Adventures also has achievements. Good luck on that one, if you're ever attempting it
he DID attempt it tho...
I was born in 2007 and I am 17 now I remember loving this game all throughout my life so far. Spore is great
omfg wait same-
I had that exact same experience but I never got past the space stage I always quit after getting horrendously lost and dying over and over again because I didn't know fuel was a mechanic

Bro, I hated the city stage so much as a kid that I developed a consistent strategy to win it as easily as possible.
Step 1. End the creature stage at a nest that is close to the shoreline. (Also, it helps the tribal stage if you give your creature some last minute offense, like parts that give you the ability to spit poison, swipe, charge, sneak, etc.)
Step 2. When your city begins, DROP EVERYTHING AND MAKE YOUR SEA AND LAND VEHICLES ASAP. When you make them, PRIORITIZE SPEED ABOVE ALL ELSE. NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
Step 3. MAKE A BUNCH OF VEHICLES AND CAPTURE EVERY SINGLE SPICE GEIZER YOU CAN REACH. IF YOURE FAST ENOUGH, YOU CAN CAPTURE EVERY GEIZER ON YOUR CONTINENT AND IN THE OCEAN BEFORE ANYONE ELSE CAN GET THEIR SWEATY MITTS ON THEM
Step 4. If you didn’t evolve into an economics city, keep a weather eye out for the types of cities forming.
Step 5. As soon as an economic city appears, AQUIRE IT! Before they have a chance to do anything!
Step 6. When you capture the city, choose to keep it as an economic city.
Step 7. Form trade routes with literally everyone (this is another part where the speedy cars and boats come in handy), prioritizing those who own spice geizers on other continents.
Step 8. Wait for everyone to submit to your empire of capitalism as they beg you to buy their city with your mountains of money
Of course, this doesn’t exactly help with some of the achievements 😂
This is quite obvious, but literally who tf plays economic? I also thought the civilization stage was the easiest...
@@Afraglis créature stage was always easiest for me. As a kid, fighting scared me so I was always friendly but that breaks down in the Civ stage since religious is actually incredibly aggressive gameplay-wise. So I came up with this strategy lol
@Afraglis I play economic all the time. Since I usually hate Civ Stage, this strategy works pretty well for me.
Came for the scrunkly spores, stayed for the inevitable emotional breakdown
LMAO I was so caught of guard by the "raffiolio" quote, I always loved mimicking the space stage creatures' lines as a kid and some of them are eternally burned into my brain
Next you have to 100% real life 💀
And Afterlife.
Nah, that game’s boring tbh
I probably won't honestly. I don't think enough of my audience knows what that is
@SeanieDew hey… true… but mean…
@@SeanieDew true
I love Spore. I am, however, very aware that Spore was made to be played in a spam of Years, instead of a Days.
Thank you for the video and I pity all that.
Last time I played spore I made a race of carnivorous bipedal cows. The joys of evolution 😊
Minotaurs?
@@RollerBaller Kind of like a minotaur but with hooves for hands and fangs. And a black and white cow pattern of course!
The... The Moozilla...? Was it... was it you...?! Are you a Maxis employee?!?!
Did you make the Moozilla? We need the lore!!!
I was unaware of the moozilla you guys.. somehow I just also came up with the idea of carnivorous cows. Great minds think alike
- selects the hardest difficulty on his first playthrough
- complains that the game is too hard
So... fun fact:
You don't need to do a complete, cell-to-space run for each archetype achievement. You can start in later stages and still get an archetype in the Space stage. You can even start in the Space stage and just grind your levels from there (but you won't have the abilities you'd get from playing through the earlier stages).
You can also change your archetype while you're playing the Space stage by doing quests for an allied empire with a different archetype, which means you could just save right before hitting Master Badge Rank 10, hit Rank 10, load, do a Switch Archetype quest, hit Rank 10, load, and repeat the process for every archetype you can switch into.
The only archetypes you can't change into are Knight (which don't spawn randomly, and if you encounter a Knight archetype Empire you made, they'll give you the quest to become a Warrior) and Wanderer (which you can only get by starting in the Space stage).
Edit: And that's exactly what you did. Teaches me to post a comment before watching the entire video.
LOL 😂
Additional fun fact: It is possible to bribe the Grox into friendship to get to the core faster. The only caveat is it causes EVERY OTHER EMPIRE IN THE GALAXY, EVEN IF THEY HAVEN'T MET YOU, TO AUTOMATICALLY DECLARE WAR ON YOU!!! You can also wipe out Grox worlds by simply... Converting them to a healthy terra score. Yep. That easy. They'll fight back, of course, but you can just zip around and evade them the whole time.
@@jeffisaperson4471yeah death by terraforming op in general, but especially with the grox, and honestly I find it easier to just run past the grox, I did dancing with the devil last lol
As someone who's hyperfixation was spore, not recruiting alphas during creature stage was a mistake, tribal stage gift ambush strategy was mine too. Also when you reach civilization stage, quickly build as much cars and take over all the spice and destroy all villages before they advance. Space stage idc it gets boring after a while.
About the "run over tribes people" in Civilization stage: There is a way to identify a tribe that will damage vehicles (they're in middle of the region's line, there already exists a tribe closer to the middle of the region or is in a region with a spice geyzer.
I like to believe that that car damage was on purpose to provide a better setup for this sponsorship
Warrior tribal isn’t too tough if you’re smart about it.
Keep in mind that for this stage, your creature stage stats still matter- mostly speed and flight for quicker movement across the map, but also their built in weapons can help.
Take your time to build up resources before taking down brown village, to delay the others from popping up. You MUST be ready for when the others pop up to prevent the massacres of this video.
Tame animals so they lay eggs for you- it’s an easy and constant supply of food. Even on herbivore playthroughs, this free food can be used for buildings and gifts. Any allied creatures from the previous stage will automatically become tamed animals for your tribe, which can give a much needed early game food boost. Plus, they’ll fight for your tribe!
There’s a super easy glitch you can pull off to duplicate eggs to minimize costs, basically you change your graphics settings right as the egg is hatching and the animation will repeat and produce another egg. If you don’t want to use exploits that’s understandable, it’s just really cool!
Gift and serenade hostile villages once to prevent them from attacking you- since you’re not fully allied, you can decide from there whether to befriend or backstab them. It might seem counterproductive to a hostile playthrough, but you will still get it if you want to, all while avoiding the headache of raids. Hell, the others will even bring you gifts, unaware of your true intentions!
This may seem like what you did, but gifts will only last for a little bit- still useful, but serenading them once to make them friendly lasts until you attack them, letting you take your time with the rest of the villages.
If you gift a tribe member directly instead of their food pile the neutral status stays forever, a little oversight of the developers that can be exploited, though even without that the food pile gift's neutral turning into slightly angry over time still isn't that bad because all they do is steal your food now and then, still better than raids happening.
Another fun fact is that it wasn't possible to gift members directly in the first 1.00 version of the game, it was added in patch 1.01
@@Nonhuman Oh, very interesting! I didn’t know that.
I have a strategy for beating other tribes:
Step 1: wait for them to attack first
Step 2: Slaughter the raiders with your superior numbers
Step 3: go to the other tribe and slaughter the remaining tribal members
Enjoy
I always love watching the creature, structure and vehicle designs people come up with in spore but for the first time i felt only a small sense of dread combined with a subtle taste of repulsion. Great job, love your work!
i feel like spore is one of those games that has an INSANELY good premise and is full of INSANELY good concepts that just isn't very fun to actually play
I think the idea of mastering 10 different Archetypes is because you're playing over a long time, so they're more like long-term goals to reach.
They only get to be the worst if you're speedrunning or trying to do an achievement grind and are not being a casual player...
Fun fact: Orginally there was an achievement to destroy 100 buildings in the tribal stage. Sewnie got lucky.

My best friend has around 20 THOUSAND hours in Spore (she's played it for basically her whole gaming life) and she doesn't even come close to having all achievements. I showed her this video and her reaction to the title alone was complete despair.
the title is clickbait he 64% the game
@@XYZB0RG Someone with 20K hours in the game automatically knows that it's not possible to get all achievements at this point, so neither she nor I have any problems with the title. Not for a game like this. With the exception of PvZ 2 he has always managed to get max % and in that case it was also the fact that some achievements were impossible to get. I totally support his decision to not get some of these when he's already done so much. A lot of them were plain stupid and grindy for no reason.
you could call all of them grindy, not get any of the achievements at all and call it a 100% with that logic. I don't care if he doesn't want to do all of them. just don't call it a 100% when its barely over half
he didn't even do a max % for spore there's only 2 truly unobtainable achievements
@@XYZB0RG Brother I have a job, I just can't be bothered to care about something this small
Spore (Japanese: キノコのほうし Mushroom Spore) is a non-damaging Grass-type move introduced in Generation I. Prior to Generation III, it was the signature move of Paras and Parasect.
Description : The user scatters bursts of spores that induce sleep.
- Base Power ; 100 accuracy.
Do not affect grass types pokemon, Pokemon with the « Overcoat » ability, or Pokemon equipped with the « safety googles » item.
Blocked by protection moves
Bounced back to the original user by Magic Coat or the Magic Bounce Ability.
Cannot bypass a substitute (except in Generation I )
Spore is also 100% accurate, so everyone can 100% it as long as they don't have their accuracy lowered

You just unlocked a repressed memory in me. I sometimes remembered playing this game on my friend's computer but i could never remember the specifics of it or how it was called. Im actually so happy right now 😭
This was literally the only game I played as a kid lol I only ever gunned it to the center in space stage, a lot of people don’t realize if you have diff species in your party when you go from creature to tribal you get to keep them and they lay eggs for you :3
Gotta try to be a Zelot in the space stage. Most OP power in space stage. Also helps to ally the Grox. I'm actually surprised that allying the Grox wasn't 1 of the many crazy achievements in this game.
Combat in any stage of Spore is something I never figured out. Hats off to you for knocking off an Epic in the creature stage; I think I spent of all of 30 mins trying and concluded it was impossible.
Yes the space stage is super boring , tedious, and not really unique as you go through. I never could find Earth either or even figure out how I was meant to use wormholes unless I wrote my own map out with the complicated names given to wormholes.
It is a badge, but not an achievement I think
Same with destroying the Grox
To be fair, most of those frustrations can be combated by not doing a marathon of the game.
Props to Seanie for crashing his car just to do a transition for an ad
What I like to do in the space stage is when the progress bar is full, I make a golden version of my spaceship.
That moment when you accidentally recreate the twin towers as boring apartment buildings. 💀
And calling them "Gemini Obelisks" 😭🙏
@@evauwu5190 😭😭😭 Fr that part killed me
Realizing that spore doesn't auto save after the game crashes is like a rite of passage.

He4e?
He is for the letter E. Who is he? He is a much more powerful being.
If anyone is wondering why the galactic center achievement is called “42”, this is a reference to the book “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy”, where people create a machine that says the answer to life, the universe, and everything. The response they get is simply “42”. Neat little reference by the developers.
16:11 biblically accurate goobie…
There are still two🙃
- To make the Grox extinct
- To become their Friend
I know right? My fav achievements honestly, but then again I always liked the space stage
yeah, i thought the extinction was the nassive grind he referred to
The Arms slander was totally unwarranted lol
Pro tip for my fellow Spore enjoyers out there: the game tends to crash any time you die, but if you skip the death cutscene by pressing escape, the game won't crash anymore. You're welcome.
20:29 hahaha the engorged shadow

Fun fact, you can befriend the grogs by planet busting and becoming an enemy of everyone else. This makes getting to the center faster and easier since you don’t have to be bombarded by them
If you press escape to skip the death cutscene, the game will ALWAYS crash

7:51 Freaking Balatro?! You know what that means! Time to 100% Balatro.
19:14 this is why, as a looooooong time spore player, i never play on Hard mode anymore. The tribal stage single handedly ruins the entire experience. Cell and Creature stages are really not a huge jump in difficulty compared to Normal, Civilization, while definitely harder, is still more than doable, and Space stage is just a numbers game if I recall correctly, it just makes having good relations and the odds of random events like ecosystem collapses and grox/pirate attacks higher for the most part. But Tribal stage?? Tribal stage makes you want to literally rip your freaking hair right out of your head and punch your monitor. "omg can i play the game for 3 seconds" lmao
"Reaching the space stage 10 times is unreasonable to ask!" Dude, have you seen the Civilization achievements? 😂
Man, branching the channel into all these games is so dope. I'm loving every one of these videos
Did you know that when you play religious, it's easier to capture cities that have an angry/manifesting population?

Fun fact: the cursor problem is actually cause by alt-tabbing. If at any time you alt-tab while you're playing the game, the clicking part of the cursor will be displaced until you entirely restart the game.
Actually it can be circumvented by either going to the settings and changing the aspect ratio of the game or just putting the game in windowed mode, I just play in windowed mode.

A Spore Remastered/Remake would be so fun. The other stages would be more in depth and longer, and the space stage would get a total makeover.
Selling everything from the cities you've conquered to get a shitload of money is basically galactic scavenging. Disassemble and sell everything. Damn, it would be quite interesting to make a sci-fi setting with this idea...
Did you really make a video "100%"ing spore without allying with OR destroying the grox?
Is that why you just barely mentioned them for one sentence at the very end of the video? You didn't think people would notice?
Those aren't achievements, those are space stage badges. Different thing.
he didn't do any of the sporepedia achievements either
HOLY CRAP SOMEONE ACTUALLY DID IT OH MY GOD- Hands down to you 😩👌 I've always thought about doing it, but jesus chrust I could never, mainly because of one achievement. I will say, I've only seen it done a few times, and that's 'The badge outta heck,' which is a name in itself.
In short: Eliminate the Grox. Make them extinct. All almost 5000 planets and 2700 star systems. It's an absolute pain, and my world got corrupted when I was SO close to halfway through, which made me give up. It's be absolutely hilarious (and awesome) to see you try to go through that one
32:22 That actually isn't how the cursor works. It's a bug. To me, it happens when I alt+tab.
The tribal stage is a million times easier if you use gifts to stave off attacks from the more aggressive tribes. Then you can focus on the weaker tribes while you build up forces to take out the more aggressive ones. I know this advice is probably too little too late, but as someone who also completed this game on the hardest difficulty, I thought you'd like to know :D
Adding an achievement for having something banned is crazy, who thought that was a good idea?
And yes the circular range indicator in space stage is ridiculous. Especially when there are things that use spheres, it's not as if they couldn't do it. They made the conscious decision to make it a circle.
10:32 I remember when games didn’t autosave ahaha! Looks like Seanie here needs to learn the ways of his ancestors, and save every 15 mins.
