How to unlock the Herbivore achievement in Tropico 5 - Definitive Guide

This is done on the 6th and last mission of the DLC. At start of the mission, after Captain Plants first attack, you will get an objective to collect 5 elemental powers. Instead of doing anything for this, you should ignore the objective and let time run down. Captain Plant will attack you every 48 months from this point, except for the final time in which he appears when the main objective times out. So you will need good defences.

My defences were 6 Army Bases, 6 Barracks, 8 Guard Towers, a Military Fort, a Nuclear Submarine and an Aircraft Carrier. Everything fully upgrades.

Whilst waiting on each attacks, I just worked on keeping peoples happiness up so I didn't lose elections. Also making frequent saves to roll back to if I did get beaten by Captain Plant

The first fight he has 20000 health
The second he has 25000 health
The third he has 30000 health
The fourth he has 35000 health
The fifth he has 40000 health
The sixth and final time he has 60000 health

Once your final battle is complete, you will win the game and unlock this trophy.

Also if you opt not to sell the black pearl, then you can unlock

In the sixth and final mission of the campaign you need to deafeat Captain Plant. For this trophy you have to make sure you don't complete any of the tasks you're given and just let the timer run out. When the timer runs out Captain Plant will attack you and when you defeat him the whole process starts again. Remember to not complete any of the tasks and when you defeated Captain Plant for the fifth and final time you'll win the mission and this trophy.

Captain Plant is quite strong and he gets more powerful with every wave. To make life easier for yourself I strongly recommend surrounding your Palace with at least 12 Barracks, 6 Army Bases, 4 Fortresses and 2 Guard Towers, all of which must be fully upgraded, staffed and budgeted. I also recommend keeping the Aircraft Carrier and Nuclear Submarine from Mission 4 intact, as you will need the extra firepower.

This is Missable.

On the last mission of the DLC, you will kill Captain Plant once and then recieve a mission to get the 5 powers. DO NOT do that. Instead just maintain your city and keep waiting for Capatian Plant to come over and keep killing him. Eventually there will be a last time. You will need a very strong armada. Make sure your Guard Towers, Barracks and Army Bases are upgraded. If you have the Espionage DLC use the APCs as well. Also, remember to keep the Millitary Drills Edict active.

To complete this trophy, you do not need to complete tasks with the help of the elements, but wait for the strongest attack and repel it.

Build a lot of improved barracks and machine gun towers, but watch how the military treats you, because... there is a possibility of a military coup.

About 3 months before the expiration of the main task with taming the elements, there will be an attack from Lapneta. The unit will have 40,000 lives, during the second attack (about 3 months later, give or take) the unit will have 60,000 lives. Total 100,000. Based on your military potential, build/improve your barracks, tanks, armored personnel carriers and place a lot of watchtowers along the entire path to your administration, upgrading them to machine guns of course!)
