How to unlock the Plague Doctor achievement in Spirit of the North: Enhanced Edition - Definitive Guide

You have to destroy these to progress through the story. They’re the red bulbous root things that make your fox sneeze and sometimes get sick as he approaches. You destroy them with a charged bark (hold cn_B) which expends your spirit energy. You will need to be in spirit form to get close enough to some.

I don’t think it’s actually possible to miss any of these, you should destroy your final tether during Chapter 6.

BUGGED: As reported by pop xLUIZ FURYx and The Fence Post (thank you both), this achievement may not pop normally for you in the current patch level of the game. The work around is to reload Chapter 6 Part 1 and power bark at the nearby plague tether behind the tendrils in the small tower.

Yeah this one might have been bugged for you, I can’t remember any plague tethers being just for collectibles rather than story related.

Can I ask were you using auto resume?

Can confirm, if it doesn't unlock during the playthrough, reload chapter 6 part 1 and power bark at the first spore that's behind the tendrils in the small tower. Just did it myself and popped the Achievement, it was the last one I needed to 1000g the game.

The first 3 tethers will be destroyed to finish chapter 3. You will reach 18 in chapter 6. If you replay some parts you will get it earlier as it is stackable.
