Plants vs. Zombies Wiki

A Cry for Helpdesk - Level 3 is the third level of the A Cry for Helpdesk event in Penny's Pursuit. It has bonus objectives and zombie swaps, just like any other Penny's Pursuit level.

Difficulty[]

This level starts off fast, with the possibility to start off with a few ZCorp Consultants, making it a difficult early game. Later on in the level, not only will you have to deal with Consultant, but also with zombies from Zcorpion Zombie's vases. Any stray Gargimp Legals can also be problematic, as they can destroy your plants in near your home if not taken care of.

Strategies[]

  • Required plants:
    • Sun-shroom (or Twin Sunflower)
    • Dartichoke
    • Draftodil
    • Magnet-shroom
    • Imp Pear
    • Spikerock

First, plant two columns of Sun-shrooms (or one column if you brought Twin Sunflower). Second, plant one column of Dartichokes and Draftodils, so you can kill zombies fast with Dartichoke and kill flying zombies with Draftodil.

Use Magnet-shroom to kill Punk Zombie and take buckets from Bucketheads. Use Imp Pears with plant food to turn zombies into imps, and kill imps. Spikerock to kill the Zombie Hamsterballs.
