Level 5-4

Level 5-4 is the 44th level in Plants vs. Zombies and Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West. It is also the fourth Roof level. When the level is finished for the first time, the player unlocks the Watering Can for the Zen Garden, along with the Zen Garden mode itself.

Difficulty

 * There are three columns of Flower Pots. Therefore, the player most likely will need to plant more Flower Pots in order to beat the level.
 * Bungee Zombies do not appear at the start or during the duration of the level, but they will bring down extra zombies at the final wave.
 * The player will have to deal with Football Zombies, Pogo Zombies, and Ladder Zombies in three flags.

Strategies

 * Suggested plants
 * Sunflower
 * Flower Pot
 * Potato Mine
 * Cabbage-pult
 * Squash
 * Cherry Bomb or Jalapeno
 * Kernel-pult
 * Wall-nut
 * Magnet-shroom and Coffee Bean (if you have nine or ten seed slots)
 * Plant two columns of Sunflowers while planting Potato Mines to kill the zombies at the start of the level. If  the Potato Mines are still recharging, use a Squash to deal with next zombie. Then, start planting columns of offensive plants that will hit the zombies constantly.
 * After, plant two rows of Wall-nuts (or Tall-nuts if you chose that plant) to defend yourself from Pogo Zombies, Football Zombies, and surprise attack zombies
 * Use instant-kills to kill big groups of zombies or ladders when placed on your Wall-nuts or Tall-nuts.
 * As you have just received the Coffee Bean, you should use Magnet-shrooms to take away football helmets, ladders, and pogo sticks, making those zombies lose their special abilities. If you do not want to spend so much sun, use a Cherry Bomb, as they kill zombies within a 3x3 area. if you selected the Jalapeno, you can get rid of a lane of powerful zombies without much trouble.
