## Rewards

### Replaying

N/A

This level was a modified version of Pirate Seas - Day 14. Pirate Captain Zombie was omitted from this level. Also, instead of being a Last Stand level, this level was a Locked and Loaded level. Spikeweeds were also pre-placed on the fifth column.

*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

#### Strategy 1

*Created by SuperGaming101*
1. Plant two columns of Sunflowers at the back. No need to stall the first few zombies, as the preplaced Spikeweeds already will kill them.
2. Plant your Wall-nuts in column 4 in the squares with no planks, while also planting two lanes of Repeaters in column 3 and 4. Use Iceberg Lettuce to stall if you have to.
3. Plant Spikeweeds on all other empty columns. You should use your Plant Food on your Repeaters when things get out of hand.

#### Strategy 2

*Created by MartinUWH*
Similar to Strategy 1, but puts the higher value Repeaters at the back of the lanes. Executed with Step 1 (non "leveled-up") plants.

1. Keep the Iceberg Lettuce permanently active, as it has no cost. This is especially important because a Level 1 Spikeweed will not kill a Basic Zombie, so you need to stall them until you can get either Wall-nuts or Repeaters in place.
2. Plant Sunflowers in Columns 2 and 3.
3. Plant Wall-nuts in Column 4. Ensure that you have placed Wall-nuts in the top and bottom rows prior to the appearance of Swashbuckler Zombie and Seagull Zombie.
4. Plant Repeaters in Column 1.
5. Plant Spikeweeds on all planks.
6. As the opportunity present itself, dig up the Sunflowers in Column 2 and replace them with Repeaters. Use Plant Food on the Repeaters when the zombies become too numerous.

### Replaying

N/A

This level was a modified version of Ancient Egypt - Day 20. Spikeweed was pre-selected.

### Strategies

#### Strategy 1

*Created by SuperGaming101*
* **Required plants:**
	+ (optional)

1. Plant a column of Primal Sunflowers. Plant Iceberg Lettuce in front of the Sunflower the first zombie appears in front of. If there is no Sunflower on the lane, plant it in the fifth column.
2. Use any of the instant kills you bought on the first zombie. The best idea is Chili Bean, as he only costs 50 sun and doesn't take time to arm.
3. Do the same, but with another instant kill, with Primal Potato Mine being the best idea. Keep using Iceberg Lettuce on zombies when you can. Keep doing this until two zombies come instead of one.
4. Plant Winter Melon in the second column. Keep protecting the Sunflowers with your instant kills.
5. Plant another lane of Winter Melon in the third column.

#### Strategy 2

*Created by VeXJL*
* **Required plants:**

1. Start by planting a column of Twin Sunflowers. This will help you obtain sun for Repeaters.
2. When a Wall-nut becomes available, immediately put it down. This will cut down on the time it takes for Wall-nut to recharge. Place Wall-nuts 2 tiles in front of each Sunflower.
3. Stall the first few zombies with Iceberg Lettuce.
4. After freezing each zombie, place a Repeater about 1.5 tiles away from each zombie. This will ensure that the level progresses as slowly as possible. The Repeaters should be in front of the Sunflowers.
5. After placing the Repeaters in front of the Sunflowers, start placing Repeaters behind the Sunflowers and in the middle lane.
6. Freeze the first Explorer Zombie. Try to make sure that Iceberg Lettuce freezes the correct zombies. If Plant Food is available, use it on an Iceberg Lettuce to ensure that the Explorer Zombies are frozen. Save at least one for the last flag.
7. When you reach the final flag, use Plant Food on Iceberg Lettuce to freeze all zombies on screen. This will make sure that Explorer Zombies won't be able to destroy your plants and allow Repeaters to kill zombies.

### Strategy 3

*Created by MartinUWH*
* **Required plants:**

1. Build up Twin Sunflowers in the first and second columns.
2. Plant a Spikeweed two spaces in front of each endangered plant, and plant instant kill plants, such as Chili Bean or Potato Mine, directly in front of each plant. Iceberg Lettuce is also OK, but primarily you want to use them on the Explorer Zombies.
3. Build up Melon-pults behind the endangered plants.
4. Plant Potato Mines in the middle lane until you have built up enough sun to fill it with Melon-pults.

3. When the first Buckethead Zombie arrives, place a Magnet-shroom and proceed with planting Magnet-shrooms. Use Plant Food on Magnet-shroom if you get overwhelmed.
4. Put Chard Guard down to halt the advancement of the zombie horde. Hurrikale can help while Chard Guard recharges.
5. At the final flag, when the Gargantuar arrives, stall it with Hurrikale or Chard Guard. This will give the Dusk Lobbers enough time to kill it.
