**Frostbite Caves - Day 25** is the twenty-fifth level of Frostbite Caves in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. It is a Special Delivery level. Rotobaga is first introduced in this level. After completing this level, the player receives a money bag.

## Dialogue

*(Crazy Dave and Penny appear)*

Crazy Dave: Penny, what we need right now is a nice hot cup o' cocoa!

Penny: User Dave, that is an unproven zombie-fighting weapon.

Penny: I recommend we call on Rotobaga instead.

Penny: She can hover above ground AND shoot at zombies in four directions!

Crazy Dave: Kid's got talent! Maybe she knows how to make hot cocoa too?

*(Crazy Dave and Penny leave)*

## Waves

*The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost one.*

## Strategies

* Since there are two ice floes on the second and fourth lane, it is recommended to place Rotobagas behind the sliders to protect them and deal huge damage to other lanes. Plant Pepper-pults to warm Rotobagas and stock up on Stunions to prepare for Blockhead Zombies and snowstorms.
* The player should prepare for the two snowstorms appear near the beginning and the end of the level. At the beginning, three zombies (usually Cave Zombies and Cave Conehead Zombies) will approach the third column, and the player should place Rotobagas carefully to take care of them. By the end, the player should have enough plants to deal with another three zombies approaching the second column.
* The player should be careful, as the winds in the beginning can freeze the player's entire defense if they has not received Pepper-pult yet, then Cave Buckethead Zombies can cause serious problems towards the player.

Jurassic Marsh - Day 3

*For the Chinese version of the level, see Jurassic Marsh - Day 3 (Chinese version).*

## Rewards

### Replaying

Same as before

**Jurassic Marsh - Day 3** is the third level of Jurassic Marsh in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. It is a Special Delivery level. Grapeshot, the premium plant tied with Jurassic Marsh Part 1, is showcased in this level. After completing this level, the player receives a money bag.

## Difficulty

Grapeshot is introduced in this level, a plant which acts similarly to Cherry Bomb. The Grapeshot is the player's primary method of defeating the zombie horde. Melon-pult and Garlic are given, but they generally do not help too much, as the raptors often kick tough zombies like Jurassic Bucketheads and Jurassic Fossilheads over Garlics and deep into defenses. In addition, the player should reserve the Grapeshot for emergency situations, due to their rarity. Garlic should be used in the front rows to divert zombies away from raptors, while Melon-pults should be used as the primary offensive plant.

## Waves

*The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost one.*

## Strategies

The player should plant Garlic in the first, third and fifth rows and on the rightmost tile on each row as raptors mostly appear on these rows only. The Garlic can move the zombies away from the raptors and this makes Grapeshot extremely effective as Grapeshot deals instant kill damage in a three by three area and shoots out eight ricocheting projectiles that can kill the zombies that were moved to the second and fourth rows effectively. The player can also dig up Melon-pults and let the zombies reach the second or third column, because more Grapeshots may appear in the conveyor-belt.

Save your Grapeshots until clumps of zombies appear; don't use them as soon as the zombies come. Save up at the start as you can get up to 6 Grapeshots in a row. Place them in strategic locations to kill most zombies and make the grapes bounce off the remaining ones.

Martial Marsh Masher

Unleash the Jurassic Marsh Gargantuar

**Martial Marsh Master** is an achievement in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. It is achieved by "unleashing" the Gargantuar, but more specifically completing Jurassic Marsh - Day 16. It is worth 20 points on Game Center and 2,000 XP on Google Play Games for Android devices.

## Origins

Its name is a portmanteau of "martial arts master," meaning a person who is a professional or is very good at a martial art, like Kung-Fu and "marsh," referring to the period and place Jurassic Marsh is set in.

## See also

* Jurassic Marsh - Day 16

Boss Vase

**Boss Vase** is the third and final Vasebreaker level of Player's House in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. Gargantuar and the Imp are first introduced here. There are 30 vases. The purple one contains the Vase Gargantuar and one of the brown vases contains a Plant Food. When this level is finished for the first time, the player unlocks the Reveal Vase, a new Power Up that can only be used in Vasebreaker and Vasebreaker Endless.

## Difficulty

* This level is harder, due to it having more zombies than the previous ones. But with the purple vase that always contains a Vase Gargantuar, this level is easier than the first game. This notifies the player where the Vase Gargantuar will be.

## Strategies

* Break the vases from the rightmost column to get a few Repeaters.
* Two Potato Mines here should be put on the lane that has the purple vase.
* If you get a Plant Food, save it until you are in danger. If you used it before the Gargantuar was unleashed, use the two Potato Mines on it. If you do not have those either, it is recommended to reset the level.
* Only break the purple vase when the lawn runs out of vases. The purple vase always contains a Vase Gargantuar, use the Plant Food to defeat it.

* It is possible to see the regular Imp through this level, even before traveling to Modern Day or playing a Piñata Party with Imp.
Freeze 'Em

**Freeze 'Em** is the second Vasebreaker level of Ancient Egypt in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. It is the second level in the Egyptian Challenge Pack, and the fifth Vasebreaker level overall. The main zombie here is Explorer Zombie. There are 30 vases, and one contains Plant Food. After completing this level, the player receives a money bag.

## Difficulty

* The Explorer Zombies are very dangerous if they are inside the leftmost vases. Always keep an Iceberg Lettuce available in case this happens.
* The Buckethead Mummy can also be troublesome if it is inside one of the leftmost vase.

## Strategies

* Break the vase from the rightmost column to get some Cabbage-pults and possibly Repeaters. Save the green vases when seeing the Explorer Zombies.
* Try to save Iceberg Lettuces for Explorer Zombies.
* Feed Plant Food on an Iceberg Lettuce or Cabbage-pult to make the level easier.
* Keep Repeaters in the back. They're the best at killing the zombies out of the given plants, so keeping them alive is the most important goal.

## Rewards

### Replaying

Same as before

**Modern Day - Day 2** is the second level of Modern Day in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. This level contains portals and the appearance of some Ancient Egypt zombies. After completing this level, the player receives a money bag. This is the first level to feature zombies from another world without portals, as another gimmick in Modern Day.

## Difficulty

This level introduces the second gimmick of Modern Day, zombies from different worlds appearing in levels not via portal. The zombies in this level, however, are only some Ancient Egypt zombies, and in small quantities too. This includes the Gargantuar. However, where this level becomes a bit difficult is the portals, which are all Big Wave Beach portals. The zombies that spawn from them can cause huge havoc on the lawn. Surfer Zombies can instantly kill a plant once spawned, assuming a plant is in front of a portal, and Octo Zombie can bind up plants easily, with its good amount of health and position of where he spawns.

### Objective 3

Depends on difficulty

**Later, Gladiator - Level 5** is the fifth level of the Later, Gladiator event in Penny's Pursuit. It has bonus objectives and zombie swaps, just like any other Penny's Pursuit level.

## Difficulty

This level is mostly difficult due to two dangerous zombies in Zombie Bulls and Healer Zombies. Other zombies like Tomb Raiser Zombie will try to protect them, so Healer Zombies should be prioritized over all other zombies.

## Difficulty Swaps

In Penny's Pursuit, the zombies in a level can swap depending on the difficulty chosen.

Lawn

File:Adventure.jpg
The **lawn** is the main setting where the player fights against the zombies, and is located in front of the player's house. Although the term is used to refer to the Pool, Fog, and Roof levels by most players in addition to in the song "Zombies on Your Lawn", these places are technically the backyard and roof of the player's house, and the lawn is just the front yard.

## Layout

The lawn is arranged in a grid with nine columns and five rows (in the day, night, and roof stages) or six rows (in the pool and fog stages) that the player can plant on, one plant per square (except for Cob Cannon). During the night, squares can also contain graves where the player can plant nothing but Grave Busters and from which zombies emerge during the final wave. Also, the use of the Doom-shroom creates craters in the lawn, which cannot be planted in.

DayNightPoolFogRoofNight Roof
## How it works

Zombies approach from the right side of the lawn, and eat the player's brains if they reach the left side by getting through their defenses. In the first two stages, which are in the front yard, and the third one which takes place in the backyard with a pool, the player has Lawn Mowers which run over all the zombies in a row, or lane, completely destroying them. However, they can only be used once. Later, in the pool stage, the lawn mowers by the pool will only kill the zombies that have made it out of the water at the time, so it is recommended to buy the Pool Cleaners (which kill all of the pool zombies in a similar fashion to that of the lawn mower) as soon as possible. On the roof, there are no extra defenses until the player purchases the Roof Cleaners from Crazy Dave's shop. All of these remaining at the end of the level provide an extra gold coin each.

## Trivia

* If one looks closely at the lawn, they can see tiny red and yellow flowers in the grass.
* There is a night roof layout that is only playable on Dr. Zomboss' levels, level 5-10 and Dr. Zomboss's Revenge.
* The lawn varies in size in certain levels (in the first 1-1 it is only one lane, in the first 1-2 and 1-3 there are three, and the backyard has six lanes instead of the normal five in the front yard).
	+ This is technically because Garlic would not work on the pool if there is only one pool lane.
* On the Xbox 360 version and PlayStation 3 version, there's a cluster of bushes where the zombies enter the lawn.
	+ On the roof, there is instead an electrical wire pole in place of the bushes.

**Areas**
Hot Off the Presses

Set a Newspaper Zombie's newspaper on fire

**Hot Off the Presses** is an achievement in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. It is achieved by setting a Newspaper Zombie's newspaper on fire, meaning that the player must let a fire plant (e.g. Pepper-pult) attack a Newspaper Zombie. It is worth 5 points on Game Center for iOS devices and 500 XP on Google Play Games for Android devices.

## Origins

Its name is a reference to the term "hot off the presses," meaning a very recently printed news article. The "hot" in the achievement's title also refers to the literal meaning of hot, a high degree or temperature, which refers to the fire plants the player must use to unlock this achievement.

## Strategies

Simply go into a level with Newspaper Zombie, then choose fire plants such as Snapdragon and use them to attack the zombie. This can be done easily in Modern Day - Day 3 where the Newspaper Zombie is introduced and where more dangerous zombies aren't present. The same level also conveniently has Snapdragons.

## Trivia

* The newspaper on the icon burns differently than the newspaper in the game.

Game modes (PvZ2)

*For other uses, see game modes.*
In *Plants vs. Zombies 2*, there are some **game modes**. Most of the modes are similar to the first game, with minor tweaks.

## Time Adventure

*Main article: Adventure Mode (PvZ2)*
After finishing tutorial levels of the game, the player goes to the first world, Ancient Egypt to defeat zombies. Then, the player can travel to other areas, such as Pirate Seas and Wild West. The player can also unlock other mini-games and Endless Zones.

## Brain Busters

*Main article: Brain Busters*
Like *Plants vs. Zombies* mini-games, Brain Busters are levels in special condition. Special Delivery, Locked and Loaded, Save Our Seeds, and Last Stand are available in all areas. Each area has a Brain Buster(s) which is exclusive to it, other than Frostbite Caves, Lost City, Neon Mixtape Tour, and Jurassic Marsh. Unlike mini-games in the first game, Brain Busters are part of the regular progression through the game's story.

## Endless Zone

*Main article: Endless Zone*
After a certain level of each area, the player unlocks an endless level. The levels are Pyramid of Doom, Dead Man's Booty, Big Bad Butte, Icebound Battleground, Temple of Bloom, Terror from Tomorrow, Arthur's Challenge, Greatest Hits, La Brainsa Tarpits, Tiki Torch-er, and Highway to the Danger Room.

## Piñata Party

*Main article: Piñata Party*
Every day, a Piñata Party will appear. Piñata Parties take place on the front yard or other Time Periods, and feature zombies and plants from all areas. They are normally conveyor-belt levels, but some special parties will be Locked and Loaded levels.

## Vasebreaker

*Main article: Vasebreaker (PvZ2)*
Vasebreaker is a game mode added in the 2.7.1 update. Gameplay is similar to the original Vasebreaker. There are three power-ups exclusive to this game mode, which is separate from all other levels. There are currently 13 levels, one of which is an endless Vasebreaker zone. Other levels are separated into 4 packs: Vasebreaker Intro, Egyptian Challenge Pack, Pirate Challenge Pack, and Western Challenge Pack, which take place on Player's House, Ancient Egypt, Pirate Seas, and Wild West respectively.

## Zen Garden

*Main article: Zen Garden (PvZ2)*
The Zen Garden is a virtual garden where the player keeps plants that he or she has collected. By watering and growing plants, players can earn coins and free boosts for their plants. The growing periods can be shortened and more plant pots can be added to the garden with gems. Also, Bernie the Bee also accompanies the player in the garden, shortening the desired plants' growing process.

## Arena

*Main article: Arena*
Arena is a game mode added in the 6.6.1 update. The mode allows competition between players. Contestants plan their own team to get the scores by defeating zombies in time. If the zombie is killed further from the house, the player will get higher scores. The more the player wins, the more rewards they receive.

## Penny's Pursuit

*Main article: Penny's Pursuit*
Penny's Pursuit is a game mode added in the 7.9.1 update.
Hot sauce

**Hot sauce** is an item obtained when the player has completed the Player's House in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. Crazy Dave saves the taco just for hot sauce and then decides to go back in time with the use of his time machine, Penny, so he can eat it again, but "accidentally" ends up in Ancient Egypt. The taco is the main plot point for the game, as the player travels through different time periods to try and find it.

## Gallery

## Level

### Objective

Don't let the zombies trample the flowers

**Lost City - Day 24** is the 24th level of Lost City in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. The objective for this level is to not let the zombies trample the flowers located between the third and fourth column. There are eight Gold Tiles in this level; one in the first, three in the third, two in the fifth, and two in the seventh column. After completing this level, the player receives a money bag.

## Difficulty

* Relic Hunter Zombies are a main threat because they can end up getting very close to the flowers. Infi-nut's force field or Blover can help.
* Excavator Zombies are also a threat because they can dig up the front defenses, making zombies advance towards the flowers easily.
* Imp Porters can set up tents rather close to the flowers, so try to defeat them before they reach Gold Tiles.

## Waves

* **Required plants:**
	+ Sunflower
	+ Red Stinger
	+ A.K.E.E.
	+ Primal Wall-nut
	+ Celery Stalker
	+ Blover

1. At the beginning of the level, plant at least three or four Sunflowers.
2. When the Excavator and Parasol Zombie duo arrive, plant two A.K.E.E.'s and one Red Stinger on that row. If you do not have enough sun, try to stall the Excavator Zombie with some extra cheap plants, like Celery Stalker.
3. When the first ambush of Lost Pilot Zombies arrive, if you do not already have your defenses set up, you should stall some of them with Primal Wall-nuts or kill some of them with Celery Stalkers.
4. Blow away any Bug Zombies with Blover.
5. Always be prepared with your Primal Wall-nuts because Relic Hunter Zombies will swing past some of your defenses. Place an extra Primal Wall-nut or put Plant Food on Primal Wall-nut if the situation is tense enough.
6. Imp Porters are a threat, as they can set up their tents. Kill them with Celery Stalker before they reach the Gold Tiles.
7. Use Mower Launch if the level gets tense.

## Difficulty

Even with the possibility of choosing a Grave Buster, Tomb Raiser zombies can easily dominate the board with Gravestones, making it difficult to use plants that do not have projectiles. The player must pay attention to keep these tombstones at bay in order to use instant-kill plants, as well.

## Rewards

### Replaying

A money bag

**Frostbite Caves - Day 8** is the eighth level of Frostbite Caves in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. It is a Special Delivery level. Most of the zombies are appearing via the snowstorms here. Blockhead Zombie makes his first appearance here. The player has to fight against a large number of zombies starting from the very beginning of the level. When this level is finished for the first time, the player obtains a Frostbite Caves pinata.

## Difficulty

There are multiple strategies for beating this level due to the large amount of plants given.

Six Pepper-pults can be planted in the second and third columns, in the spaces underneath and above the ice floes, as most zombies will end up there. Wall-nuts can be planted above and under the slider tiles.

Sometimes zombies in snowstorms will get past the slider tiles on the left side on the lawn. The player can set up a few Potato Mines there.

Hurrikales are abundant in this level. The players should time their use correctly, as they aren't able to push back zombies that are still coming in snowstorms.

Bonk Choys can be planted next to Wall-nuts as the zombies will be far enough to not be able to eat them.

The last Pepper-pult can be used to warm the plants on the right side of the screen if the player is going for a central defense.

### Objective 2

Depends on difficulty

**Later, Gladiator - Level 2** is the second level of the Later, Gladiator event in Penny's Pursuit. It takes place in Modern Day, and is very similar to Modern Day - Day 22. It has new objectives and zombie swaps, similar to other Penny's Pursuit levels. In addition to the zombie swaps, there are also some newly added zombies.

## Difficulty

This Beghouled is extremely hard due to starting off with armored zombies. Not only that, but in the later half of the level, Pianist Zombies and Healer Zombies will start appearing. The player should swap their plants as fast as possible.

## Rewards

### Replaying

A money bag

**Far Future - Day 3** is the third level of Far Future in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. A new zombie called Bug Bot Imp is introduced here, as well as an ambush called "Bot Swarm!" When this level is finished for the first time, the player unlocks Blover.

## Difficulty

* Bug Bot Imps will be introduced as an ambush obstacle, which absorb 13.5 normal damage shots, more than the average Imp. They will be a bit harder for the player to deal with if he or she is not careful. In addition, the Jetpack Zombie makes a reappearance, so the player should prepare to defend against those.

## Waves

*The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost one.*

## Strategies

* **Required plants:**
	+ Sunflower (or Twin Sunflower or Sun-shroom)
	+ Laser Bean
	+ Tall-nut (or Wall-nut)
	+ Cherry Bomb
	+ Potato Mine
	+ Iceberg Lettuce
	+ Winter Melon
* Plant two columns of sun-producing plants (one if you choose the Twin Sunflower). Play as you usually do in the few first waves. Plant defensive plants quickly.
* After a while, an ambush (Bot Swarm) will be called and four Bug Bot Imps will fall from the sky. Unlike the other Imps you met before, this one is tougher. Immediately plant a defensive plant if you did not plant it on the lane where Bug Bot Imps are on. Fortunately, they land on the eighth and ninth columns, so they should not be a threat.
* When you enter "Final Wave" stage, another ambush will be summoned and more Bug Bot Imps will land. Use a Cherry Bomb to destroy a half of them, and the rest, you need to keep them busy on eating your plants. Use another Cherry Bomb and the level is finished.
* Do not forget to do things like plant plants on Power Tiles, using Plant Food on them, and plant as many offensive plants as you can. You may use Winter Melons to slow down Bug Bot Imps so as not only to do damage to them, but to also slow them down.

## Level

### Objective 3

Depends on difficulty

**Later, Gladiator - Level 4** is the fourth level of the Later, Gladiator event in Penny's Pursuit. It has bonus objectives and zombie swaps, just like any other Penny's Pursuit level.

## Difficulty

With this level being this game mode's first Vasebreaker level, the player should only break vases at their own pace. Otherwise, the player will be easily bombarded with Peasant Zombies.

## Bonus Objectives

In Penny's Pursuit, levels have bonus objectives that can be completed to level up Penny Perks.

### Spicy Bonus Objective

* Destroy 4 Gravestones
* Don't lose more than 1 plants

### Extra Hot Bonus Objective

* Destroy 5 Gravestones
* Don't lose more than 2 plants
Jurassic Marsh - Day 8

**Jurassic Marsh - Day 8** is the eighth level of Jurassic Marsh in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. Perfume-shroom is pre-selected in this level to showcase it. When this level is finished for the first time, the player receives the aftermentioned plant.

## Difficulty

This level is very similar to Day 6, with raptors and stegosauruses, but Perfume-shroom is pre-selected. Perfume-shroom provides a counter for the dinosaurs, which instantly kill zombies in different ways. However, with its recharge, it cannot be used many times, so the player must use them for whichever dinosaur will cause the most havoc. In addition, more Jurassic Imps are present, especially during final wave, most being moved by dinosaurs. Zombie waves still come in very fast, as usual in this world.

## Waves

*The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost one.*

## Strategies

### Some ordinary strategy  (May contain premium content)

*Created by ANightDazingZoroark
Also requires 100 starting sun and 8 seed slots*
* **Required plants:** Sun Shroom, Twin Sunflower, Primal Peashooter, Primal Wall-Nut, Puff Shroom, Fume Shroom
* **Suggested plants:** Imitater

Start out by planting Sun-Shrooms and Twin Sunflowers in this format on the first lane:

SS

TS

SS

TS

SS

SS is for the Sun-Shrooms, while TS is for the Twin Sunflowers. While preparing the main source of sun, the Conehead Zombie and the Velociraptor will come. Around this time you should have all the Sun Shrooms (as shown in the diagram above) and at least 1 Twin Sunflower. Plant a Primal Peashooter in the second row to deal with it.

When the Imps appear place Puff Shrooms to eliminate them if you still don't have enough sun for more Primal Peashooters. Once you (somehow) fill the second row with the Primal Peashooters you may either start planting Primal Wall-Nuts in the 5th row or plant Fume Shrooms in the 3rd or 4th rows.

Once the first flag has passed use Perfume Shroom to charm either one of the Velociraptors on the lawn (Imitater may help).

Eventually, by the end of the level, your lawn should look like this:

SS PP FS FS PW

TS PP FS FS PW

SS PP FS FS PW

TS PP FS FS PW

SS PP FS FS PW

Key:

* SS- Sun Shroom
* TS- Twin Sunflower
* PS- Primal Peashooter
* FS- Fume Shroom
* PW- Primal Wall-Nut

Survive and protect the endangered plants (Bonus Objective)

**Iron Age Antics - Level 5** is the fifth level of the Iron Age Antics event in Penny's Pursuit. It has bonus objectives and zombie swaps, just like any other Penny's Pursuit level.

## Difficulty

This level can be quite a difficult one. With the endangered Iceberg Lettuces moving 1 column to the right for each difficulty, allowing zombies to easily touch it. Potions, while they can boost the Zomboids, they can also boost the enemy zombies. Beating the level while completing the bonus objective is almost impossible, especially in higher difficulties.

**Jurassic Marsh - Day 10** is the tenth level of Jurassic Marsh in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. Apart from the Jurassic Gargantuar, this level includes all dinosaurs and zombies encountered in Jurassic Marsh Part 1. After completing this level, the player receives a money bag.

## Difficulty

This level has all types of dinosaurs, making it a tough choice to choose which dinosaurs to charm with Perfume-shroom (if the player picks it). It is highly recommended using Perfume-shroom on the pterodactyls, as they can obliterate a row very quickly, and that area-of-effect plants like Snapdragon or Phat Beet are usually not picked for this world.

## Level

### Objective 3

Depends on difficulty

**Imperial Entanglements - Level 3** is the third level of the Imperial Entanglements event in Penny's Pursuit. It takes place in Wild West, and is very similar to Wild West - Day 10. It has new objectives and zombie swaps, similar to other Penny's Pursuit levels. In addition to the zombie swaps, there are also some newly added zombies.

## Difficulty

The level, while somewhat identical to Wild West - Day 10, has a few changes that makes it slightly difficult. Unlike Wild West - Day 10, this level has more zombies, especially those picked for failing the bonus objectives. In difficulties with zombies such Chicken Wrangler Zombies and Wild West Gargantuars, the player should use fast hard-hitting plants.

## Difficulty Swaps

In Penny's Pursuit, the zombies in a level can swap depending on the difficulty chosen.

Same as before

**Frostbite Caves - Day 21** is the twenty-first level of Frostbite Caves in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. It is a Special Delivery level. Fire Peashooter is introduced here. After completing this level, the player receives a money bag.

## Dialogue

*(Crazy Dave and Penny appear)*

Penny: W-w-warning, User Dave! I am r-r-running l-l-low on antifreeze!

Penny: If my systems f-f-f-freeze up, we could be stuck here forever!

Crazy Dave: It'll be a cold day in heck before I let that happen, Penny!

Crazy Dave: Time to unleash Fire Peashooter!

Crazy Dave: She can apply heat to those zombies, and warm up nearby pals too!

*(Crazy Dave and Penny leave)*

## Difficulty

The player should not have much trouble with this level, as plenty of Fire Peashooters given in the level to easily warm plants up caused by freezing winds. The only dangerous zombies present are Hunter Zombie and Blockhead Zombie.

Snapdragons and Magnet-shrooms are advised to be placed behind the slider tiles or the Wall-nuts once frozen, so they cannot be attacked.

Spikerocks are difficult to use if placed far to the right as many freezing winds come around and freeze them. Since Fire Peashooter would almost be bitten instantly if planted to the right, most Spikerocks will stay frozen for the rest of the level.

## Waves

*The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost one.*

## Strategies

*Created by Rifqitheflipper*
* Unfreeze the Wall-nuts to block early zombies.
* Plant Fire Peashooters behind the Wall-nuts. Do not plant them on row 2 or 4 yet until at least three peashooters are placed behind the Wall-nuts.
* Plant Snapdragons behind the slider tiles and Magnet-shroom directly behind it.
* Plant Spikerocks in front of the Wall-nuts, mainly on the center row.
* Spend Plant Food on either Snapdragons or Fire Peashooters to deal with Blockhead zombies.

## Rewards

### Replaying

A money bag

**Frostbite Caves - Day 4** is the fourth level of Frostbite Caves in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. The Hunter Zombie makes his first appearance here. In addition, there are two ice floes, with one being on the fifth column and fifth lane pointing up and the other being on the seventh column and fourth lane, pointing down. When this level is finished for the first time, the player gets a Frostbite Caves pinata.

## Difficulty

The Hunter Zombie is introduced in this level. He will throw snowballs at plants to freeze them. Hot Potato should be used to counter this, especially if the player does not have a thawing plant. However, he is not the primary threat. The real threat is the numerous amounts of zombies, and how spread out they spawn. Tons of Cave Zombies appear in this level, and when combined with the Hunter Zombie's speed, he can freeze plants carefree. Bringing along Cherry Bomb can really help in this level, as it can take out huge crowds of zombies that most plants at this point could get overwhelmed with.

## Waves

Iceblockade

On a level with Troglobites, don't let Troglobites push any ice blocks past the 6th column

**Iceblockade** is an achievement in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. It is achieved by completing a level without letting a Troglobite push an ice block past the sixth column. It is worth 5 points on Game Center for iOS devices and 500 XP on Google Play Games for Android devices.

## Origins

Its name is a portmanteau of the words "ice block," referring to the ice blocks the Troglobites push and "blockade," referring to the player trying to prevent the Troglobites pushing their ice blocks past the sixth column.

## Strategies

The best strategy is to pick the level where Troglobites are introduced, namely Day 17 of Frostbite Caves, and use thawing plants like Hot Potato, Fire Peashooter, Pepper-pult and Lava Guava with area-of-effect plants like Snapdragon. Whenever Troglobite enters the lawn, a Hot Potato should be used on the leftmost frozen block. Jalapeno is also a good choice as it also destroy the ice blocks and the Troglobite.

The most simple way to earn this achievement is to plant a boosted Infi-nut on the sixth column or feed it Plant Food. Alternatively, you can put any wall type plant in front of Troglobite to keep him from moving blocks in case you lack Plant Food. Having a Jalapeno ready or having a copy of it with Imitater is also useful while other plants are recharging.

## Trivia

* The player will not earn this achievement if the player plays a level other than playing in Frostbite Caves.
* Breaking It Off has a similar objective, but with the Boombox Zombie.
