Level 2-5


 * For the mini-game version of this level, see Whack a Zombie.

Level 2-5 is the 15th level in Plants vs. Zombies and Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West. It is also the fifth Night level. When the level is finished for the first time, the player unlocks the Hypno-shroom.

Difficulty

 * All zombies in this level spawn from graves. Some run fast and some run slow.
 * The player may not be certain whether or not to use sun for plants.
 * Regular Zombies take one hit with the mallet to kill them, Conehead Zombies take two, and Buckethead Zombies take three.

Strategies

 * Generally, whack zombies with the mallet by clicking on them or by tapping on them if you are using a touch-screen device. Some zombies are harder to kill than others. However, remember that if a zombie makes it on the other side of the lawn, it's game over. There are no lawn mowers to kill a row of zombies.


 * Use sun to destroy graves. Graves spawn frequently closer to the house after halfway through the level. Each grave carries a little treasure or two, so try to destroy as many as you can.
 * Use a Cherry Bomb if too many zombies come on the screen at the same time (maybe in the final wave). Potato Mines are not useful in this level, although they only cost 25 sun.
 * Get rid of all graves except the ones that are clustered together. Tapping around the cluster will get rid of most of the zombies.

Trivia

 * Ice-shroom replaces Cherry Bomb in the mini-game version. (non-mobile only)
 * This, Level 1-1, Level 4-5, and Level 5-10 are the only levels in Adventure Mode where there are no Flag Zombies.
