Frostbite Caves

*An empty Frostbite Caves lawn.*

**Frostbite Caves** is the 7th world in *Plants vs. Zombies 2: Reflourished*. It has 40 levels, including the 10 Expansion levels, 7 plants to unlock, and 17 zombies to encounter.

It takes place during the Last Ice Age, possibly around 40,000 years ago, as the zombies in this time period appear to look similar to Neanderthals of the time. During this period of time, Earth had experienced a long period of reduction in surface temperature.

Frostbite Caves has two main gimmicks present, slider tiles and freezing winds. The first gimmick, slider tiles, are tiles that move zombies from one lane to the lane the tile is pointing on. The second gimmick, freezing winds, are winds that appear throughout a level and can potentially freeze plants in a lane, except for fire plants and ice plants, the latter of which can warm nearby plants, preventing them from freezing.

## Game description

*Explore the frozen wastes of prehistory and chill out with the coolest zombies ever. Beware the winds or your plants will be frozen veggies.*

## Levels

\*\*Frozen unless either a thawing plant or if noted.

\*Prizes that are not money bags are unlocked only first time.

### Brain Busters

#### Special Delivery

Special Delivery is a Brain Buster featuring a conveyor belt, with said conveyor belt being the only way to recieve plants. No sun is needed in this Brain Buster, as plants given by the conveyor belt are free of charge. Certain levels may have a hard limit for a specific plant, and the frequency of each plant appearing can vary depending on the level.

It is played on Days 3, 5, 8, 10, 18, 21, 25 and 37.

#### Last Stand

Last Stand is a Brain Buster where the player is given an extreme amount of sun and a limited amount of Plant Food to use for the entire level. The player must set up a strong defense beforehand before advancing. Most free plants and all sun-producing plants are banned in these levels, and any more Plant Food is not handed out throughout the level, though certain levels may have at least one carrier of it in it.

It is played on Days 12, 28 and 34

#### Locked and Loaded

Locked and Loaded is a Brain Buster here the player is forced to use the plants given in the level. They are only required to use the plants given to them in order to win the level. Even if certain plants given in the level have yet to be unlocked, the player still has the ability to use that plant within the level itself. This can serve as a demo for that plant if that ever manages to happen.

It is played on Days 14, 29, 32 and 38.

#### Save Our Seeds

Save Our Seeds is a Brain Buster where the player is tasked to protect a number of endangered plants throughout the entire level. Getting one of the endangered plants destroyed in any way (i.e. eaten, crushed, etc.), or activated in the case of plants such as Potato Mine or Lava Guava, will result in a loss for the player.

It is played on Days 15, 23, 27, 34 and 35.

### Icebound Battleground

*Main article: Icebound Battleground*

The Icebound Battleground is the Endless Zone of Frostbite Caves. The player can unlock the Endless Zone after beating Day 20 of this world. The player can practice and hone their skills in surviving level after level of endless zombies. As the player progresses through the higher levels, freezing winds may occur more often and may instantly freeze entire lanes of plants. Each level has random frozen plants or zombies, and the slider tiles also change repeatedly.

### Zombot Tuskmaster 10,000 BC

The player must fight Dr. Zomboss in Frostbite Caves piloting the Zombot Tuskmaster 10,000 BC, and later on, its upgraded version. It can summon almost every zombie found in this world. Plants in these levels are only given to the player by a conveyor belt. The Zombot Tuskmaster 10,000 BC itself can attack the player's plants in two ways. One is by blowing harsh freezing winds from its trunk, freezing plants. The other way is by launching an ice block to the plant it targets, killing the plant (unless the plant was in its Plant Food state).
