It is a set of eight unique levels featuring endangered plants that have been captured by Dr. Zomboss. The plants in these levels actively hinder the player due to the situations they're placed in. Completing the quest rewards the player with 10,000 coins.

### Objective

Survive and protect the endangered plants

**Don't Pick At Your Ice** is the first step of the Epic Quest. The player must play the level while five Peashooters constantly shoot at frozen blocks containing zombies until they break.

## Dialogue

### Intro

**Penny:** User Dave, I have located the first batch of captured plants around here somewhere.

**Crazy Dave:** Would it happen to be those Peashooters over there?

**Dr. Zomboss:** GRAH! When did you two neanderthals get here?

**Dr. Zomboss:** You're not supposed to be here yet! My experiments are far from correctly set up!

**Dr. Zomboss:** No matter! Let's see how you like your peashooters now!

**Crazy Dave:** We did it Penny! Let's have a victory party!

**Penny:** Celebrations can wait. These Peashooters are about to break a whole lot of zombies out of ice.

## Dialogue

### Intro

**Dr. Zomboss:** So, do you still like your precious plants?

**Dr. Zomboss:** Even when their actions are putting you at a direct disadvantage!?

**Penny:** I noticed that you are up to something, Zomboss.

**Penny:** We are not playing your twisted game!

**Dr. Zomboss:** Oh, it's no game I assure you.

**Dr. Zomboss:** I just want to test out your hypothesis!

**Dr. Zomboss:** Do you like these creatures merely because they are able to assist you, or out of the kindness of your hearts?

**Dr. Zomboss:** The choice is yours! Time is ticking!

**Penny:** User Dave, much like last time, these Homing Thistles are put in another disadvantageous circumstance.

**Penny:** Especially now that a group of local jesters are present here tonight.

**Penny:** Keep them safe and we will get through this soon!

**Crazy Dave:** Those jesters won't juggle anything on my watch!

## Dialogue

### Intro

**Penny:** More bells, you know what that means...

**Crazy Dave:** Free ice cream!?

**Penny:** Jesters, User Dave. They are back to harm our captured plants.

**Penny:** It seems as if Zomboss is trying to make us all dislike the prospect of using plants as allies.

**Penny:** He put them into these unfortunate scenarios to prove a sadistic point.

**Penny:** But we must not let these fabricated situations alter our resolve or prove him right.

**Crazy Dave:** So what you're saying is...

**Crazy Dave:** HE'S CALLING US LIARS!

**Penny:** Precisely. AND he's endangering innocent plants to do it.

**Penny:** I detect high levels of anger, User Dave.

### Outro

**Dr. Zomboss:** You two are not ready for this, shall I say... GRIM situation...

**Crazy Dave:** ...I don't get it.

### Outro

**Dr. Zomboss:** Curses! You really DO care for these horrid things!

**Dr. Zomboss:** I guess I should've expected as much! I'll return, you cretins!
