Zombot Sphinx-inator

The Zombot Sphinx-inator is the boss of Ancient Egypt in Plants vs. Zombies 2: It's About Time. It is controlled by Dr. Zomboss and is battled in Ancient Egypt Day 25.

The boss battle is a conveyor-belt level which gives the player Bloomerangs, Cabbage-pults, Repeaters, Wall-nuts, Bonk Choys, Iceberg Lettuces and Grave Busters. The Sphinx-inator can send out all zombies from Ancient Egypt, except the Flag Mummy Zombie. It takes up a 2x2 area at the right side of the lawn, and jumps into different rows occasionally. It can only send out zombies in two rows at a time, but it can also only be attacked in the two rows it occupies at any one time. Unlike the original Zombot, the Sphinx-inator can be attacked at all times.

Almanac Entry

SPEED: Hungry

The destroyer of plants from the ancient sands.

SPECIAL: missile attack can create tombstones

To add that extra bit of wickedness to the Sphinx-inator Dr. Zomboss chiseled his creation from the stonework of cursed tombs. You should not take this instance of reuse and recycle to mean he's going green. The only thing green about him is his tongue. Overview It is unknown how much health the Zombot Sphinx-inator has.

Attacks
The Zombot Sphinx-inator has two attacks. When not attacking, he sends zombies at you, spawning them in the third column from the right.
 * A target will appear on a random space, and the Sphinx-inator will shoot a missile at that space, destroying any plant on it and creating two Tombstones nearby.
 * The Sphinx-inator will step back, and then charge forwards, destroying all plants and zombies in two rows. It will then stop short of the Lawnmowers and jump back to the rightmost column.
 * It is possible to freeze it with an Iceberg Lettuce during this attack, and if successful, the Sphinx-inator will cancel the attack and become vulnerable to attacks for approximately ten seconds.

Strategy

 * It is recommended to keep one Iceberg Lettuce, one Grave Buster and one Plant Food at all times. This way, you can quickly remove tombstones that show up in bad places, and you can use Plant Food on an Iceberg Lettuce to freeze all zombies onscreen, and slow the Sphinx-inator. It will also counter the charging attack if you freeze the Sphinx-inator when it's charging.
 * Use Plant Food on Bloomerangs to clear out rows of Zombies, or use it on Bonk Choys for dense groups.
 * Never waste Plant Food, if one appears and you've still got Plant Food, use one where it's needed and then pick up the additional Plant Food.
 * Always try to stall dangerous zombies such as Explorer Zombies, Pharaoh Zombies and Mummified Gargantuars. Use Iceberg Lettuces and/or Wall-nuts to stop them.
 * Don't be afraid to use Power Ups if you're about to lose.
