How'd you unlock the zen garden? It's starting to get repetitive so I'm only at 5-3, do I have to finish adventure first?

yes, zen garden is unlocked after beating the adventure mode, iirc. but 5-3 is already the rooftop level, isn't it? that's the last stage.

The cool thing about after the adventure is the survival mode. By the end it looks something like this:

The zombies don't understand the concept of early pressure -_-

They definitely let you power way too much sunflowers

Yeah, it's kind of boring that the start of every level is spamming sunflowers on half the squares. I've tried lots of stupid combinations of plants to handicap myself into making the scenarios challenging, but I think you have to try to lose (or just play with max 2 sunflowers or so).
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Speaking of powering, what build do you guys usually go for (daylight/night)
Mine goes something like this (at least it has been for a lont time, I'm on 5-6 now) :
steps 1-5 SFs (sunflower ofc)
6Squash ,
7SF
8SF
9DSF
10SF
11Squash
12SF
13SF
14Chomper
15SF
16DSF
(flower pots as needed)

I basically just mass SF on 3 rows and repel the singular zombies as cheap as possible, Squashes, Chompers, Tamales, Tall-Nuts are all pretty good at buying more time.
And then my prime range is 3peater.
This build nets me like 600-700 before the 5th or 6th zombie and usually before any waves begin.
[image loading]




For night, I'm not sure what build is better now that I have DSFs, I was going like:
steps 1-4SS (sunshroom) / GS (gloom shroom)
5Water Shroom
steps 6-8 SS/GS
(same deal here but only the back 2 or 2 1/2 rows because fungus is cheaper )
prime damage is scaredey shrooms and those fat splash shrooms.


Also, Not 100% on this, but I think SS are better than SF, I think SF produce slower at night? and they produce half their cost (25 sun from 50). SS cost 25 and produce a little more than half their cost (15) and then when they grow larger they produce 100% (25, not sure how many small sun they give before they morph 6-10?). SS are more cost effective but you are pretty weak early/mid game and rely heavily on the free shrooms. Then once econ kicks in you usually have to do some shovel work to place harder hitters.

What is the best way to gather coins?

To fill up your zen garden, give snaily some chocolate, and afk for an hour. With a filled up zen garden you get about $15,000 per hour. Unfortunately you can't alt-tab and let it go in the background, so you actually do need to afk.

If you really want to gather cash in game, I would say something like unlimited survival with one or two gold magnets. The number of zombies approaching gets so huge at some point, that there's constantly gold lying around.


You can run PvZ in windows mode, i've done it for days

Potato Mine is much better early game compared to squash (25 cost vs 50). Time it takes mines to set up is approximately 4 walking squares distance, easily enough warning time. Mine recharges fast enough so that your sunflowers won't get attacked until multiple zombies appear at same time.




For night, I'm not sure what build is better now that I have DSFs, I was going like:
steps 1-4SS (sunshroom) / GS (gloom shroom)
5Water Shroom
steps 6-8 SS/GS
(same deal here but only the back 2 or 2 1/2 rows because fungus is cheaper )
prime damage is scaredey shrooms and those fat splash shrooms.


imo, best build is to abuse sunshroom/puff shroom/sea shroom, replace puff shroom with 3 rows of fume-shroom. puff shroom is free and although it's range is limited, it's fast enough to kill one zombie. before 1st zombie dies, u can place 4 puff shrooms. the lane with the 1st zombie can have 2 puff shrooms hit the zombie without getting hit


Also, Not 100% on this, but I think SS are better than SF, I think SF produce slower at night? and they produce half their cost (25 sun from 50). SS cost 25 and produce a little more than half their cost (15) and then when they grow larger they produce 100% (25, not sure how many small sun they give before they morph 6-10?). SS are more cost effective but you are pretty weak early/mid game and rely heavily on the free shrooms. Then once econ kicks in you usually have to do some shovel work to place harder hitters.


yah, GameFAQs people tested that the tenth Sun-shroom can be planted at around 1:30 versus 2:20 for the tenth Sunflower.

double sunflower sucks, takes up a slot and is expensive, never really liked it

for the rooftop levels, i build flower pots in the middle, put stars, and protect them with pumpkin

really enjoy that
too easy

fuck, I keep losing on last stand mini game. Trying to milk coin off it with a column of marigolds. (got 10k off it after 3 attempts).
What'd you guys do for that stage? I'm trying to have 3 rows of repeats with firetree infront, and eventually cap them with gatling pea. Stupid dolphin fuckers keep raping me T_T
