Plants vs Zombies 2

NorCalAthlete said:
Challenges 2 and 3 after you beat Wild West are nearly fucking impossible. Short of buying the mimic plant I can't see how to beat 3. No planting anything for 90 seconds means that even with iceberg lettuce x2 the first zombie gets through and costs you a lawnmower.

Have you tried waiting until near the end of the level before attempting the 90-second buying stoppage? I had to do that with one level that required 2 minutes. I just built everything up so that I had each row defended. It then becomes fairly easy to go a while before buying anything.

Trying to get it done in the beginning usually screws you for the rest of the round.

:facepalm Didn't realize that's how it worked. Thought you had to wait at the beginning :laughing that's how I've passed all the other ones. Duh!
 
I really freaking hate the damn chickens in the Western rounds. Ugh!!!
 
100 seconds without spending any sun AND don't let them trample the flowers? Even my F bombs have F bombs, FUUUUUUUU.
 
These levels where you can't spend more than 1500 sun AND prevent the zombies from trampling the flowers which are positioned halfway across the screen....I see no way of doing this without using the zombie-zapping cheats. :x

This game is so damn addicting! Incredibly fun. :teeth
 
so....many.....chickens

Be stingy. Single sunflowers only, no doubles, only plant 4, use the first plant food you get on a sunflower, use lightning bolts on most. 1500 is enough for 4 sunflowers + 10 lightning bolts with a tiny bit leftover for wallnuts if needed. Use the free icebergs as much as possible. If you bought the mimic plant use it for icebergs as well.

I'm now 40/40 for Egypt, 25/38 Pirate, 28/38 Wild West. I've unlocked everything there is to unlock, have 52 stars saved up for the next addon to be released, and at least 8-10 keys in each realm or whatever for the next thing to come out. 50k+ gold saved up, and I make it a point to never use the pinch/swipe/drag power ups.
 
36/40, 16/38, 20/38 for me.

This is the only game that has ever made me forget about Words with Friends. :thumbup

I was 19/38 in the Old West yesterday, one day later I'm 25/38. This game rocks. :laughing

I say it's damn near UNPOSSIBLE to beat "Not OK Corrall III" without using a Plant Food points boost. And even with using Plant Food, it's still incredibly difficult....but dammit I got my star. :party
 
I have trouble with the "lose no more than 3 plants" level in pirate where the parrots come out. Can't kill the fuckers fast enough. Plus, my opening strategy is usually:

Wait for 2 sun
Plant double sunflower
1 more sun
Potato Mine for first zombie
sun
double sunflower
3rd double sunflower/potato mine for 2nd zombie.

I can usually get the first 2-3 zombies with nothing but potato mines, enabling faster double sunflower planting which results in more sunflower and more expensive, harder hitting plants.

Favorite combo recently has been 2 columns of lightning bolts with a column of ice melons behind them. No wall nuts needed, that combo rapes everything.
 
Hey! The Egyptian levels are so much easier when you go back with the cannons. :thumbup

I'm still 14 levels in on the pyramid challenge with no sign of slowing down.

Finally beat this painfully difficult level with no cheating. Only took me like 20 tries. :laughing

Seems like all the uber-hard levels are doable, you just gotta knuckle down and figure out the patterns. I thought I had this one beat at least 10 times but something would always go wrong in the last zombie attack wave.

SO FUN, SO MANY F-BOMBS.

No, it's the bonus level at the very tip above the "Tall-Nut" upgrade. You have to unlock the gate for digging up plants giving bonus sun (I think that's the one) and then it's the 3rd level of that.

Also having trouble with the pirate level where he forgets sunflowers.

Had to go back and look at Not OK Corral III, and play it again just now...beat it on first try but it gave me a cannon which made life easier. Did it always give a cannon? I can't remember.

I just try to keep the Wal Nuts out of harm's way early, then use them later to slow down the horde before they finally sacrifice themselves for the team. :p
