Plants vs. Zombies

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.

• 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.

• 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.

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

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.

 Type mustache during a level after you finish selecting your plants.

 Note: This requires some time and skill. Start by crushing the green ones where plants are, in this order.

• Three Pea Shooters at the back in the middle , with Wall-Nuts in front of them.
• Normal and Snow Pea Shooters in the first and last lanes with Potato Mines.
• Squash placed in front of Pea Shooters if you did not place a Wall-Nut there already. The Squashes are essential to pass the level. If it drops and there is no Gargantuar yet or Metal Bucket Zombie, then leave it alone. When it begins flashing, place it in front of the Pea Shooter.
• Try to plant turned around Repeaters at each lane, and the rest where large amount of zombies spawn.

Try to smash the vases in columns, then wait for the zombies to get to another vase column and smash them. Your goal is to make them walk as one group and to gather them. They will eventually meet a squash at the start of the lane and it will "squash" them all. This may require several attempts.

 You cannot place the Hypno-Shroom in front of a Disco Zombie because he will raise four zombies, and one of them will be at front of Disco Zombie. Place the Hypno Shroom at his feet the moment he raises the four zombies. By doing this, the shroom will be at the center and Disco Zombie will have to eat it.

 This is easy to accomplish after unlocking Cabbage Pults and other plant catapults. Do not use a peashooter of any kind.

 Towards the middle of the game, more zombies will arrive at the start of each flag wave. Wait for all of them to show up, then place a Cherry Bomb to blow up ten zombies.

 Begin an easy survival day. It will be difficult because you can only plant Mushrooms and Coffee Beans. Focus on planting Sunshrooms. Ignore the first zombies and allow the lawnmowers to take care of them. To defend the Sunshrooms, plant long range Puff Shrooms in front of them. You will mostly have normal zombies and eventually a few Coneheads to contend with. At least two columns of long range defenders will be effective. Although it will require some time, you will eventually succeed.
