Dark Ages - Night 9

"Warning! I've detected carafes containing chemical compounds of a malevolent makeup!"

Dark Ages - Night 9 is the ninth level of Dark Ages. It is a Brain Buster and the first Dark Alchemy level. There are evil potions to make the zombies tougher and faster. When this level is finished for the first time, the player gets a note.

Difficulty

 * The player will not get any tutorials unlike any other Brain Busters in this level, making this level harder without seeing it first.
 * The Fume-shroom along with the Tall-nut will greatly help you win this level, but only if you know how to use them fluently.
 * The player cannot do anything to remove the potions, so the Potato Mine and other instant kills are also keys.

Strategy 1

 * Suggested plants
 * Sun-shroom
 * Potato Mine
 * Fume-shroom
 * Tall-nut
 * Snapdragon (or Laser Bean)
 * Grave Buster
 * Iceberg Lettuce
 * Start by two columns of Sun-shrooms. Always plant Potato Mines in the third column to remove the potions.
 * Try to use Grave Busters to remove all the graves.
 * Plant two columns of Fume-shrooms. Whatever you chose Laser Bean or Snapdragon, you need to plant at least one column of it.
 * Plant one column of Tall-nuts to protect from Knight Zombies. Remember if you choose Snapdragon, plant it before planting Tall-nut. However, parallel action is needed.
 * Now stall the zombie that is the highest threat. Try to remove one column of Sun-shrooms to have a place for Laser Beans if you choose it.

Strategy 2
Created by  Start by planting two columns of Sun-shrooms in the back. Use Puff-shrooms and Snapdragons to take care of early zombies. When using Grave Busters, go for the ones disrupting your setup first. Then go for the ones with sun icons. Eventually your setup will be like this:
 * Suggested plants
 * Sun-shroom
 * Snapdragon
 * Laser Bean
 * Tall-nut
 * Puff-shroom
 * Grave Buster
 * Cherry Bomb

Use Cherry Bombs either when a zombie is about to eat your sun-shroom, or when there are 3x3 clumps of Knights/Bucketheads.

Trivia

 * The Buckethead Peasant was added in the 2.7.1 update.
