## Rewards

### Replaying

A money bag

**Big Wave Beach - Day 17** is the seventeenth level of Big Wave Beach in *Plants vs. Zombies 2*. The Octo Zombie is introduced in this level. The tideline is located between the second and third column. When this level is finished for the first time, the player gets a Big Wave Beach piñata.

## Difficulty

* The Octo Zombie is actually similar to the Wizard Zombie, but his octopi are not defeated when he is defeated. A Ghost Pepper or Cherry Bomb should be used to defeat them.
* There are only three Octo Zombies, so this level should not be too hard.

## 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

### Strategy 1  (Contains gem premium content)

*Created by Uselessguy*
* **Required plants:**
	+ Twin Sunflower
	+ Lily Pad
	+ Tangle Kelp
	+ Ghost Pepper
	+ Infi-nut
	+ Snapdragon
	+ Iceberg Lettuce
* Plant two columns of Twin Sunflowers, or one. Use Tangle Kelps to kill the first zombies. Iceberg Lettuce can be used to delay time.
* Quickly plant at least three columns of Snapdragons, one column of Infi-nuts and Lily Pads if needed.
* When seeing an Octo Zombie, quickly plant a Ghost Pepper or Tangle Kelp if it is alone.
* Feed Plant Food on Infi-nut to create a shield to protect the plants from ambush zombies.
* If Octo Zombies come in the final wave, it is better to use Ghost Pepper's Plant Food upgrade to kill them quickly.
* Snapdragons will greatly help you destroy the octopi.

### The Sound-o-buga Anti-Lily Pad Strategy

* **Required plants:**
	+ Sun-shroom (Twin Sunflower will also do)
	+ Phat Beet
	+ Rotobaga
	+ Emergency plants such as Cherry Bomb and Tangle Kelp
* Use the first column for your Sun-shrooms (leave one tile open in case of Octo Zombies). The second column should be occupied by Phat Beets. The water tiles should only be used by Rotobagas.
* **Only** use the emergency plants if 1.The whole lawn is filled with octopi. 2. The zombies are too close to the House.
* If you do this correctly, the day will be easy to beat.

### Chess Srategy

* **Required plants**
* **Sun-shroom**
* **Rotobaga**
* Lily pad
* Grimrose
* Cherry bomb
* Puff-shroom
* Primal wall-nut
* Hot potato if you 8 seed slots and she's at level 5
* Plant Sun-shrooms on the light tiles or the dark tiles**(choose only one)**. When the first zombie come plant a puff shroom,you should also have sun to place a Rotobaga ligher or darker tiles depending on where you planted Sun-shrooms.
* When the snokel zombie come use Grimrose, as she can kill snokel zombies unlike Tangle kelp, also use her when you see the first octo zombie
* keep planting Sun-shrooms and Rotobagas in a concave formation until the seveth row, then plant Primal wall-nuts. Check if your Primal wall-nuts are degrading
* **Do not place Lily pads on Rotobagas** unless they are automaticly there as that is wasting sun as Rotobaga can fly she also can't bound up my octopuses so only your Sun-shrooms and Primal wall-nuts will be bound, your Rotobagas or hot potato should hadle that
* use cherry bomb only on the octo zombies on the final wave
* If you do this right this day will be easy to beat(and maybe even be a little fun).
