Seeds of Time

Seeds of Time is a Gardens & Graveyards map in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. It takes place in a time-traveling-based theme park. The Zombie's goal is to go through the theme park, capturing the gardens on the way, and must infiltrate the castle at the end with a Bootering Ram, while the Plants must try and stop them by defending the gardens.

Description
''The time travel theme park was built in 1202 by a group of wizards that pooled their resources together in the hopes of making a fortune. Now the Zombies want it, because it's a fun place to be!''

​Areas

 * Theme Park Entrance - The zombies enter the park from the parking lot and attempt to take the entrance.
 * Dinolandz - The zombies enter portals into a prehistoric-themed park section.
 * Zgypt - The zombies push through into an Egyptian crypt. There are several secret passages here.
 * Azia - The Asian section of the park has the zombies fighting uphill to take a garden just outside a temple.
 * Rome - The next stage is Roman themed, with a Colosseum housing the garden.
 * Castle/Dark Ages - In the Dark Ages area of the theme park, the Zombies have a limited amount of time (roughly 3min 30secs) to push a "Bootering Ram" through the medieval village into the castle gates, while the Plants must try to stop them from doing so. Near halfway, the Zombies must try to sneakily infiltrate the castle and pull two levers inside, which will cause the drawbridge blocking the castle entrance to open, allowing the Zombies to advance, meaning that the Plants must try to defend both the castle entrance and the levers.

Plants

 * The Zombies can attack and enter the Garden from all directions, so try to protect the outer parts near the Garden to prevent that.
 * There are many sniping points the Zombies can access to rain down havoc on you. Keep an eye on those areas.
 * Try to stop the Zombies getting through the main entrance, as there are only two doors they can enter through.

Zombies

 * There is a Foot Soldier/Super Brainz snipe point to the left of the main entrance. Get up there to reach the small sniping areas.
 * There are lots of vehicles and buildings you can hide behind/in.

Plants

 * Try to camp on the two large dinosaurs surrounding the Garden to stop the Zombies from entering.
 * Try to block the exits of the large volcano so it will be hard for the Zombies to reach the Garden.
 * You can stand and camp on the large trees around the area. Use these to help you.

Zombies

 * Don't let the Plants trap you in the volcano. There are four exits to the volcano that lead to the Garden.
 * Try to hide behind trees and buildings if there are Plants camping on the dinosaurs before trying to take them out. You can even try to climb the dinosaurs yourself.
 * Keep in mind that the lava in the volcano will kill you instantly. Try to lure Plants into it.

Plants

 * The Zombies can try to use several secret passages in the area to get to the Garden. Prevent them from doing this or defending will be hard.
 * There is a large balcony above the Garden, where the Zombies can shoot and jump into the Garden from. Try to stop them from getting up there.
 * The area where the Zombies come from is extremely open, which is very useful for seeking out and taking out Zombies who are running through the area.
 * Close the entrance in front of the Garden to lock the door and keep the Zombies out.

Zombies

 * Use the secret passages on the left and right of the crypt to bamboozle the Plants and attack from places they wouldn't expect you to attack from.
 * There are places that are very high up where you can attack from. Use this to attack Plants from high ground.
 * Use the balcony above the Garden to take out Plants in the Garden, then jump off into the Garden to capture it with ease.

Plants

 * Stay on the high walls on the hill to take out the Zombies before they reach the top of the hill.
 * To the right of the Garden is a large wall. Use this to see the entire area.
 * The Zombies can come from many directions, either on the hill or on the wall. Try to defend them all.

Zombies

 * Be cautious when ascending up the hill. The Plants can camp on the walls and take you out from above.
 * Try to get the advantage by taking the walls first so the Plants can't stop your teammates getting up the hill.
 * There are several walls around the Garden. Stand on these while capturing to prevent Chomper attacks.

Plants

 * Don't bother trying to plant Potted Plants, as the Colizeum is so open that the Zombies can take them out from anywhere.
 * This is probably the hardest Garden to defend as the Zombies can come from all directions and can attack you from anywhere. Try to take cover often while defending.
 * There are a lot of entrances to the Colizeum. Take the Zombies out near their spawn to stop them going through the entrances.

Zombies

 * While capturing, try to take cover, as the area is so open that the Plants can take you out from practically anywhere.
 * Try to muddle the Plants up by taking lots of different entrances to the Colizeum. Also, try to be a distraction in a doorway while your teammates advance from another entry.
 * The area before the Colizeum is also quite open, so try to get the teleporter running to stay out of harm's way.

Plants

 * Try to take height advantages on rooftops and cliffs to take out the Zombies pushing the Bootering Ram.
 * Try to use devastating abilities to Zombies pushing the Bootering Ram like the Chili Bean Bomb, Butter Barrage, Goatify or Potato Mines to take multiple Zombies out at once.
 * Protect the Levers at all costs. Once a Lever is pulled, you cannot re-pull it to raise the drawbridge.
 * If the Bootering Ram gets inside the castle, you can use the multiple high walls and your abilities to stop them from pushing it any further.

Zombies

 * A good tactic is for half of your team to push the Bootering Ram, while the other half try to take out the Plants blocking the path.
 * Try to pull the levers when the Plants are too distracted with the Bootering Ram to stop you.
 * The hardest part is the final stretch. Forget everything and get the whole team pushing the Bootering Ram to keep it moving.
 * Try to take out the Plants before they leave the castle so your teammates can easily push the Bootering Ram.

​Endings
At the end, a cutscene will play to determine a Plant or Zombie victory.

Zombies victory
If the Zombies manage to push the Bootering Ram all the way inside the castle, it will break down the doors and the Zombies will be teleported in front of the castle, while the castle is slowly destroyed and taken over, with a stained glass window of Rose is destroyed and replaced by a Zomboss flag.

Plants victory
If the Plants manage to stop the Bootering Ram going inside the castle, the Plants will celebrate and the castle will stay standing. After the Zombies lower the bridge, they themselves will be kicked out by the bridge into the canyon.

Golden Gnome Locations

 * 1) This one is located in the Theme Park Entrance. In one of the gift shops with the plush Plants on shelves, one of them has the Golden Gnome on a shelf.
 * 2) This one is located in the Zgypt area of the map. To the left area of the map, head up the stairs to enter a gift shop full of plush Plants. A Golden Gnome is on one of the shelves in here.
 * 3) This one is located in the Azia area of the map. In the area where the left teleporter is, above the left entrance to it is a button with mushrooms on it. Shoot it to trigger it. Once triggered, the Golden Gnome will come down on a cloud for the player to collect.
 * 4) This one is located in the Rome area of the map. In the right part of the map before entering the Colizeum, there is a waterfall with a button behind it. Shoot it to trigger it. Once triggered, a Golden Gnome will appear in the gift shop above it.
 * 5) This one is also located in the Rome area of the map. Above the upper right entrance to the Colizeum is the Golden Gnome. Use the Peashooter's Hyper, Super Brainz' jump or the Foot Soldier's Rocket Jump to get up there.
 * 6) This one is located in the Dark Ages area of the map. You must be a Plant to get this one. In the castle where you spawn, there is a room with a furnace inside it. Inside the furnace is the final Golden Gnome.

 * PopCap claims it is the largest map they have made.
 * There is a secret passage to get to the Zgypt Garden for the Zombies where it can be accessed by going to a room. One of the Camel heads is tilted incorrectly and the player must tilt the Camel head. After the Camel head is tilted, a platform will open where a Bowling Ball will roll down. The player must avoid this by going on the sides. After the player gets through the Bowling Ball, there will be a stairway where the player can camp until they die.
