For the level before the 6.7.1 update, see Ancient Egypt - Day 23 (pre-6.7).

Ancient Egypt - Day 23 is the 23rd level of Ancient Egypt in Plants vs. Zombies 2. When this level is finished for the first time, the player gets an Ancient Egypt Piñata.

Difficulty[]

This level includes some dangerous zombies like Pharaoh Zombie and a Mummified Gargantuar. Chilling plants like Winter Melon are recommended to stop Explorer Zombies from destroying your defenses, while instant-kill plants like Cherry Bomb can be used to wipe out large crowds of zombies or to defeat the Mummified Gargantuar in the end. Fortunately, since this level is rather slow-paced, the player has a lot of time to set up their defenses before the zombie crowds get huge.

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.
