Hints
Easy
money
-
Get the Zen Garden. Water
the plants until they do not need anything else. Advance the system
date ahead. The plants will need water again. Buy new plants, grow
them to full size, then sell them. Repeat this to earn more money. You
can also use this technique when you have to get Marigolds in Crazy
Dave's shop when they are out of stock.
-
Set up your defenses
around the slot machine. Try for one row of walnuts on the right side,
one or two rows of sunflowers on the left, and fill everything else
with pea and snow pea shooters. Protect the lawn mowers. Each is worth
a Gold Coin at the end of the game; do not let them mow the zombies.
Stop collecting sun at about 1,900 sun points. At this point, the
garden should be full; getting the extra 100 points to win should be
easy. Just collect enough sun to offset the slot machine. Keep the
slot machine spinning. It will randomly drop one or three gems as long
your patience lasts. If the zombies get close to the mowers, end the
game. Just collect the sun lying on the field to end the game.
-
Use the following trick
to make Walnut Bowling more profitable. Protect the lawnmowers. Each
mower is worth one gold coin ($250). Line up shots off the front
runner. After the first zombie is hit, each additional zombie strike
generates coins. Create a front runner where none already exists. Pole
vaulting zombies will run fast until they vault over a nut, and the
newspaper zombie runs fast after getting the paper destroyed by a nut.
Let them run a short distance down the lawn before sending a nut their
way. You do not need to use nuts. When there are a few zombies ambling
down the lawn without a clear ricochet shot, wait some time to see if
more of them will step out to play.
They can always be killed once
they cross the red line. Remember how many nuts it takes to kill a
zombie. This is important when they cross the red line. Use one nut
for regular zombies, three for bucket wearing zombies, and two for the
others. Keep the exploding nuts in reserve. Try not to use them unless
a mob crosses the line or there are not enough nuts or room to clear
out a difficult to kill zombie. Use the regular walnuts for the
zombies that have not reached the red line. Do not use exploding nuts
to kill pole vaulting zombies directly. Pole vaulting zombies only
jump obstacles in their own lane. A pole vaulting zombie who has not
vaulted yet will safely jump over explosions or nuts in their own
lane. Find a neighbor in the next lane and time the nut to hit when
the pole vaulting zombie gets close to the neighbor.
New
seed selection
If you do not like the cards
from Crazy Dave, exit the game and restart. The cards will change
randomly.
Increase
plant growth
Disable full screen mode. Go
to your zen garden. After feeding the plants, it will normally take thirty
minutes to feed them again. To feed them all, change the system time to an
earlier value. This will increase their growth.
"Dr.
Zomboss": Easy completion
When Dr. Zomboss comes down
to throw an ice ball or fire ball, you can use Freeze Shrooms to freeze
him. This allows your various pults time to get some damage on Dr. Zomboss
himself. Jalapenos will also cause damage to him when he is down to toss a
fire or ice ball. The more damage you can do to Dr. Zomboss, the faster
and easier it is to end this level. Save at least one Freeze Shroom and
one Jalapeno for whatever he tosses.
"Last
Stand": Easy completion
-
You must have at least
eight slots of seed before starting. Choose the following plants:
Repeaters, Gatling Peas, Tall Nuts, Tangle Kelps, Lily Pads,
Torchwoods, Coffee Beans, and Magnet-Shrooms, After you pick them up,
set up the following layout. Put two Repeaters from the back columns
on every row (except the pool). Put only one Repeater on the back
columns on every pool row (use Lily Pads first). Change the Repeaters
on the pool to become Gatling Peas Put Torchwoods in front of the
Repeaters and Gatling Peas (on the pool use Lily Pads first). Then,
give the space a column and plant the Magnet-Shrooms on the lawn only.
Wake them up with Coffee Beans. In front of the Magnet-Shrooms on the
lawn, plant the Tall Nuts. Note: Plant the Tangle Kelps on the last
time. The layout should appear as follows.
R R T <> M N

Select the following
plants (at least eight slots required): Marigold, Pumpkin, Lilypad,
Wall-Nut, Magnet-Shroom, Gold Magnet, Doom-Shroom, Coffee Bean. Fill
the rest of the slots with plants of your choice. Use the following
layout. Note: Put Pumpkins on the first three Marigolds starting from
the Wall-Nut, except the Marigold on the pool. Do not put any Pumpkins
on the pool. Then, start the onslaught. If you have sufficient sun
power, put a Doom-Shroom in to replace with thing in the two Gold
Magnets, then awaken the Doom-Shroom with a Coffee Bean.

Zombie
mini-games: Earning sun
The only way to earn sun in
the zombie mini-games is to kill sunflowers. First, put a good zombie for
the situation in the lane you want it to go in. Make sure that there are
sunflowers planted in that lane. Collect the sun when the zombie eats the
flower, then buy more items and eat the brains.
Creating
a fort
Use the following plant
formation with the following items.
-
0: Sunflowers or upgraded
flowers
-
1: A shooter plant
-
2: Repeater/upgraded
-
3: Three shooter plant
(three lanes)
-
4: Fire Plant (fire tree
that turns bullets to fire balls that pass through it)
-
5: Cattail
-
6: Squash (or Wallnut/Tallnut)
-
7: Small mushrooms
-
8: Chomper
-
9: Scardey Shroom
-
X: Free space

Defeating
the final Boss
The final Boss will launch
massive fire balls and ice balls at your plants. They will crush
everything in their path except for zombies (basically, all plants in that
row). To destroy the ice ball, use a Chili Pepper in that row. To destroy
the fire ball, use an Ice Shroom, but also with a Coffee Bean or else it
will fall asleep.
Pole
Vaulters
When there are Pole Vaulters,
pick a Walnut and a Chomper and make sure you can dig up plants and have
lots of sun.. Put down a Walnut and a Chomper behind it. The Pole Vaulter
will go over the Walnut and straight into the Chomper. Then, dig up the
Chomper and he is gone.
Getting
light in fog
When you are in fog and need
light (and you do not have a lantern), use the torch wood if you have the
sun. It shows you the space in front of it.
Kill
Bungees
To kill Bungees, use Chompers,
Squash, Ice Shroom, Jalapeno, or an Umbrella Plant.
Hidden
achievement list objects
The achievements are
displayed as an underground list. Scroll through the list and keep going
down to see various hidden objects including a zombie, the bookworm from Bookworm,
jewels from Bejeweled, a unicorn fossil, and finally Chinese
zombies staring back down the hole.
Plants
vs. Zombies Strategy
---World 1---
This area is very easy, and is mainly just a tutorial to the game, Use
whatever plants you have, this early in the game. But make sure you have
peashooters and sunflowers.
---World 2---
Now this is when it gets a bit harder, the sun no longer falls from the
sky, what I did was i used puff shrooms (the free mushrooms you get) and
sun shrooms, then when I got that set up I would start setting up
peashooters and repeaters. And at the end of the level, zombies spawn from
the graves, so try to take them out early in the level (P.S. The graves
give some good stuff, crystals, plants, and sun)
---World 3---
Ok you made it this far, now we are dealing with a completely different
kind of strategy, what I did was I got lilipads, cattails (cattails are
VERY strong, they can attack any lane, and they shoot two spikes at a
time) I also had wall- nuts, cherry bombs (for emergencies) peashooters
and repeaters. You want to make each lane equally strong. And make sure
you buy the pool cleaners, they help a lot.
---World 4---
Ahh world 4, the hardest world in my opinion, basically its world 3 but
you cant see half the screen, luckily you get a plantern in a level or two
and you can see it then. I was stuck here for a while, but when I used
cattails it was so much easier, just use the strategy from 3 and 4, i
recommend at this point using sun flowers, and garden rakes (can be bought
in Crazy Dave's shop for 200$" You REALLY want to use the torchwood,
seeing as how they make your peas to DOUBLE damage. I personally have
never really used the snow peas, but if your comfortable with them go
ahead.
---World 5---
And last but not least, the roof level, make sure you buy the roof
cleaners, you will need them. Here is what I did the whole time, first two
columns are sun flowers, third column is cabbagepults, fourth column is
corn pults, and fifth column is tall-nuts. When you get the melonpults I
suggest replacing column two with them. As for cob pults, dont use them,
they take too long, and they're not that good. Bungee zombies are best
countered by umbrella leaves. Get one or two in each row, NO MORE, they
protect the eight squares surrounding them, and their own. And my last tip
for World 5, is gargantuans, here's the thing, if they didn't throw the
imp off of their back, then cherry bombs would be all you need, however, I
would advise using a cherry bomb, then using a jalapeno on the row, to
kill the imp and the gargantuan.
---Dr. Zomboss---
This boss is very hard the first few times you fight him, so try doing
this. Save all the ice shrooms and jalapenos you get, you need them to
destroy his fire/ice balls. use all the other plants strategically to
fight off the normal zombies. You WILL have to use ice shrooms and
jalapenos occasionally, jsut save as many as you can.
---How to earn a lot of
money---
Here is the best way without a doubt. You want to beat adventure and get
your zen garden. Then play endless survival and adventure mode again to
get plants. Water plants and mushrooms give you 10,000$ just to sell them
and they give you 2 diamonds when they're grown to full, which pays for
the food, and more. Normal plants like daytime plants and marigolds only
give you 8,000$ to sell, but they give you two diamonds when grown to
full. (Marigolds only give one diamond).
