Prior to the 7.4 update, Ancient Egypt - Day 34 was the 34th day of Ancient Egypt. It's a Locked and Loaded level, with the additional objective "Spend no more than 1800 sun." Upon completing the level, the player receives an Ancient Egypt Piñata.
As of the 7.4 update, level expansions were removed from the world maps and placed into epic quests. Because of this, this level is no longer accessible from the map, and must be accessed when the epic quest is available.
Difficulty[]
This level is very difficult without leveled up plants, but even then, the plants have lacking qualities. The sun limit is possibly the killer in this level, forcing the player to be careful on what to plant. Camel Zombies are very problematic, as they can stack up on Wall-nuts. Because of this, Wall-nuts usually get eaten pretty quickly, and with the constant onslaught of Camel Zombies and Pharaoh Zombies, it makes this level quite difficult to win. On the plus side, the level is not that long, and the zombies move slow, so there is time to make defenses. Using Instant Refresh on Cherry Bombs is highly recommended. However, this does not mean that the player can easily defeat the horde of zombies which keeps coming and coming. Leveling Grave Buster to level 6 is also highly suggested, since it gains the ability to explode, which will help defeat the zombie horde due to all the graves on the lawn.
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.

Strategies[]
- Leveling up your plants is highly recommended, so try to upgrade all the plants here before playing the level. Find yourself some coins to use Power-Ups too, as this level is extremely hard. Few uses of Power Toss may be required.
- Bust the tombstones with Grave Buster. Use Iceberg Lettuces and Wall-nuts to stall the zombies back. Keep in mind that Iceberg Lettuce can freeze multiple Camel Zombies at a time.
- Plant Cherry Bombs on the right place, so that it can blow up most zombies. Do not waste it.
- Don't even bother planting Sunflowers, all of the plants have a low cost and a high recharge time so planting her will only waste sun.
- Always watch the sun limit, it is crucial so that sun is not spent wastefully. Be cautious when you run low.
- If things get bad, like when zombies walk in the full-of-tombstones area or when you're out of sun to spend because of the objective, there are always Power-Ups to use.
- Levelling up Grave Buster to level 6 will help immensely, as it gains the ability to explode, and since it is free, it will help defeat the zombies without worrying about the sun limit.
- Always use Plant Food on either Wall-Nut or Cherry Bomb to refresh its cooldown, using it on Iceberg Lettuce is a waste as lining up zombies to blow them up is much more important than stalling them.
Here by the Wall[]
- Created by ThrawnCA
- Clear tombstones on column 4 as quickly as possible. This will be where you make your stand. Clear lanes 1-3 as the opportunity arises, just in case you need to drop emergency Cherry Bombs there.
- When zombies appear, plant Iceberg Lettuce in column 4 to stall them, then plant Wall-nut to stall them for longer. Remember to plant as early as possible so your seeds have time to recharge.
- Once you have collected as many zombies as feasible without replacing Wall-nuts, use Cherry Bomb in column 6 to kill them.
- Use Plant Food on Wall-nuts when they become heavily damaged. This will allow you to stall for longer.
- If the zombies manage to break through your wall toward the end of the level, you should have enough spare sun to bomb them - but try not to let it happen more than once.
You can also place a Wall-nut on column 2 instead of 4.
Instant Recharge Abuse[]
For this strategy, you will use most (or all) of your Plant Food to Instant Recharge Cherry Bomb. Before the first flag, you only get 1 plant food, but you won't need any yet. From the first flag onward, every wave except wave 6 carries a plant food. Therefore, the general approach is as follows: use a Cherry Bomb to immediately trigger the next wave, use Instant Recharge, and repeat. Once you've reached the final wave, you should need no more than 4 Cherry Bombs to clear everything.
There are several variants, but this one is the easiest. If done correctly, you'll have 150 sun to spare.
- At the beginning plant 1 Sunflower, because the sun from the sky isn't enough to constantly use Instant Recharge.
- Use Iceberg Lettuce to stall the first Camel Zombie. Meanwhile, place your first Wall-nut in column 6, again, to stall this camel further.
- After 30 seconds, more camels will spawn. You can explode all zombies so far with a single Cherry Bomb.
- While you are waiting to use that first Cherry Bomb, continue clearing gravestones in the top and bottom lanes, where the next zombies will spawn. Start preparing Wall-nuts and Iceberg Lettuce for these next zombies.
- When camels spawn in the top and bottom lanes, keep stalling them with more Iceberg Lettuce.
- When the first flag spawns, use a cherry bomb on the bottom half (not the top, for technical reasons). Make sure you've destroyed enough zombies to trigger the next wave; if you didn't, you should restart the level.
- Keep using Cherry Bombs on alternating halves. When you use each Cherry Bomb, always make sure you've triggered the next wave.
- Once you reach the final wave, you have enough plant food to instantly recharge 2 more Cherry Bombs. This is enough to clear all the Pharaoh Zombies and the frontmost segments of the Camel Zombies.
- All that's left is the last segments of the Camel Zombies. You need 2 more Cherry Bombs to destroy all of them, so you need to wait 70 seconds for both to recharge. Fortunately, Camel Zombies are very slow, so 70 seconds is fast enough to destroy them.
Walkthrough[]
Trivia[]
- This is the only level where the player needs to defeat the zombies only with instant-kill plants.
- With enough skill, the 1800 sun limit becomes surprisingly lenient:
- This level can be beaten with 500 sun to spare; i.e., spend only 1300 sun.
- This level can be beaten without Iceberg Lettuce, so the only staller is Wall-nut.
