How to unlock the I Am Legend achievement in Pandemic: The Board Game - Definitive Guide

Basically win the game on the hardest difficulty (7 epidemics) Press cn_Y at the main menu to change difficulties.

Just like on the lower levels, use the Researcher and the Scientist only. Use the Researcher to feed cards to the Scientist. Only leave Atlanta if you have an Airlift and a Government Grant to establish a base where you may need to stop a disease from spreading. Otherwise make sure that the two end their turn on the same place so you can quickly cure the diseases.

It can be a crap shoot based on the order of the deck. I got lucky and only ran across 2 epidemics before I finished the game, but other than an extra epidemic, this isn't really any different than the lower difficulties.

Hope this helps! toast

At the main menu, press Y (I think, whatever the Game Option button is at the top right).

Yes, I know how to access that particular menu. What I'm asking is what settings do you have to turn on in order to enable Legendary difficulty since 7 epidemics is just called "Epic".

Oh, my bad. Yeah, they mislabeled it again. It's the highest difficulty,

Well, I just won a game with 7 epidemics and the achievement didn't pop for me. Do you have to turn on any of the other two mutators? I mean the event card and the virulent strain ones.

I didn't turn anything else on. That difficulty was hard enough. Try quitting out of the game and restarting it?

Thanks. I just used this solution and got it first time. I did go around the board quite a bit to firefight because the red cards just weren’t coming out. I had four research stations in the end and very few cubes left!!

Do all of the difficulty-based achievements stack? (ie. if I go straight to Legendary, can I pop ALL difficulty achievements at once?)

No, you have to play each difficulty.

I must have beaten this on 7 epidemics/legendary at 5 times. It did not unlock. I tried to delete local and cloud saves and then beat the level; did not unlock. Then I tried with "On the Brink" and "Virulent Strain"+7 epidemics. It unlocked right after beating the level. Strange.

Strange, but glad you still got it!

Bit confused as to why the guide starts by saying the difficulty mode isn't called Legendary when it is?
Took me about 4 hours but the researcher and scientist team eventually won by the skin of my teeth.

For whatever reason, apparently some places have it labeled differently. I modified the solution.
