Trials of Gnomus DLC



Trials of Gnomus is the fourth content update in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2, released on September 8, 2016. Some features of this update is the Mystery Portal inside the Town Hall, which will open at scheduled times and will bring you to one of three game modes, either being Super Mix Mode, Cats vs. Dinos or Boss Hunt and, like the name indicates, the Trials of Gnomus. Behind the locked gnome door in the secret gnome cave is a portal which will lead you to another dimension, where you must complete several trials which will test your skill, shooting, memory and other factors. However, in order to access a trial the player must earn a brand new currency called Rainbow Stars. This update also features the return of the classic gestures from Garden Warfare 1.

Rainbow Stars can only be obtained by playing game modes in the Mystery Portal or by trading normal Stars for Rainbow Stars with a seagull in the Town Hall. Rainbow Stars are used to unlock chests inside the Town Hall, and the most expensive chest contains a Trial Key which will unlock one of the trials in the gnome dimension.

Also, another brand new feature is Rux's Bazaar, owned by a mysterious gnome named Rux and is located in the sewers. Rux will appear occasionally and will sell random Customization items for the player to buy with Coins. One of the customizations will nearly always be a legendary customization, however these can cost up to 500,000 coins.

There has also been a lot of character and map balancing added in this update.
