Ancient Egypt - Day 18 is the 18th level of Ancient Egypt in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is a Last Stand level. This is the first Last Stand level of Ancient Egypt, as well as the intended first of the game. After completing this level, the player receives a money bag.

Difficulty

This level is the first Last Stand in Ancient Egypt and intended to be the first in the game. In this level, 2000 sun is given automatically in order to plan a defense. Two Plant Food is also given to the player at the start.

Sun producing plants and free plants are not allowed. This Last Stand level is swarmed with Camel Zombies, as well as Mummy Zombies via Sandstorm ambush. Bloomerang and any other piercing plants are ideal here, as they can easily take down the zombies mentioned above.

Waves

The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost one.

Waves	Non-dynamic zombies	Ambush zombies	Note(s)

2	= 2- 4-	None
3	1+ 2- 4- 5-		Sandstorm!

+ carries five camel segments

Strategies

Since Camel Zombies appear, be sure to choose Bloomerang. You can choose Fume-shroom, Laser Bean, or Snapdragon as an alternative if unlocked. Wall-nuts are a must-have as well.

Using premium plants (Contains premium content)

Avoid using instant use plants such as Squash, Power Lily, or Jalapeno, unless you have sun leftover for them. Kiwibeast is a great option on this level, as there are no zombies that can destroy it instantly on this level, making it a solid option. Cold Snapdragon can handle these zombies well, but it made need some support from a defensive plant, (such as Wall-nut) to handle Bucketheads in the top and bottom lanes. Electric Blueberry is good in last stands, since you can place a bunch of them at the start of the level, and watch them rain lightning on any zombie. Finally, Explode-O-Nut is a good option, as every zombie here can eat it, allowing it to potentially destroy a big group of zombies. Dartichokes can beat this level easily, have one in each lane.  

Beginner's Defense

Place two columns of Bloomerangs in the two leftmost columns of the lawn, and 5 Wall-nuts on the third column. This is the easiest way to get through the level if you are just getting started. If some Bucketheads managed to make it to your Bloomerangs (which they won't), use a Plant Food.

Cannons Away

By Mathdude314

Just put a Coconut Cannon on each lane. You should be able to pass, but if Buckethead Mummy Zombies get too close, use Plant Food.

Shovel-pepper

• Required plants:
  • Pepper-pult
  • Instant kills

Upgrades needed:

• At least one of Shovel Boost, Shovel Perk, or Shovel Bonus

Do this:

Use Plant Food when things get rough. If the zombies are still alive, shovel Pepper-pults and get partial profit. Use that sun on instant kills.

A.C.H.E.A.P

• Required plants:
  • A.K.E.E.

Do this:

Plant Food is most likely not needed.

Easy Crazy Mode

Created by RaidingParty

• This strategy does not require Plant Food, premium content, gemium plants, or losing any lawn mowers.
• Simply place a column of Repeaters and a column of Laser Beans (place the Laser Beans in the second column). They will obliterate all the enemies, including the Buckethead Zombies.
• A Buckethead Zombie may take down a Laser Bean at the end of the level if it is lucky but will still not survive.
  • If it is somehow necessary (very rarely, usually due to a combination of poor firing rates from Laser Beans and too many sandstorm zombies in the way), dig up plants to create a Wall-nut if needed.
• Rotobagas can be used as a substitute for Repeaters (placed ahead of the Laser Beans) and seem to have a 100% success rate in saving lawn mowers. You may also use two Laser Bean columns.

Death-Lobber

• Fill the first two columns with Dusk Lobber and the third with Wall-nut. Use Plant Food on the final wave if you so wish. The Dusk Lobbers will make it look like the zombies never existed.

Bloomerang Stingers

This strategy does not require any lawn mowers or Power Ups, nor does it require any defensive plants.

• Place a column of Bloomerangs on the first column closest to the house.
• Place a column of Red Stingers right by the Bloomerangs.
• Place two Snapdragons on the second and fifth row of the third column.

This strategy will make you beat the level very easily, and will easily overpower the Bucketheads and Camel Zombies.

Laser Dragons

Created by LawnDefender072003

• Place a column of Laser Beans on the first column closest to the house.
• Place a column of Snapdragons on the second column closest to the house.
• Place a column of Wall-nuts on the third column closest to your house. You have to wait until the plants destroy the tombstones in order to fill in the two rest tiles.

Pea Stingers

Created by Max Sun 0622

• Place two columns of Red Stingers on the first and second columns closest to the house.
• Place a column of Peashooters on the third column closest to your house.

That’s it.

Strategy 11

• On first and fifth lane, place Wall-nut at the first column, with Spikerock in front of it.
• On three other lanes, place Snapdragon at the back, followed by Wall-nut and Spikerock in front of it.
• Assuming all your plants are in level 1, you will have 50 sun left.
• Use Plant Food on Snapdragons to get rid of Buckethead Zombie quickly (optional).

Strategy 12

Place as many Bloomrangs as possible.
