Ancient Egypt - Day 3 (pre-7.1) is the third level of Ancient Egypt in Plants vs. Zombies 2. This level also had a tutorial about how to buy Plant Food with in-game money when the player first played it. Tombstones and sandstorm ambushes are introduced. When this level is finished for the first time, the player unlocks the Bloomerang.

Crazy Dave: You know what would be helpful?
Crazy Dave: A place where you can read about plants and zombies.
Penny: You mean like the interactive Almanac?
Crazy Dave: Nah, that would never work.
(After going into the Almanac)
Penny: Take those seed packets you won and upgrade your Peashooter!
(After upgrading the Peashooter)
Penny: Tap 'Find More' to see where you can find more seed packets for each plant.

Difficulty[]

Tombstones first appear in this level. These obstacles block projectiles shot by plants, but can be destroyed. If playing for the first time, Peashooters will become less effective, though the player can use the newly acquired Cabbage-pult, which lobs shots over the tombstones to damage the incoming zombies.

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[]

Using premium plants (Contains premium content)[]

Kiwibeast can be used, as every zombie in this level can eat it, thus growing its power. Cold Snapdragon is another good option, as they can easily control any zombies this level spawns. Strawburst can easily take down zombies in this level, though it should be supported with Peashooters and Wall-nuts early to help take care of the early zombies. Cactus can be used to deal with graves and attack zombies at the same time.

Trivia[]

  • When Crazy Dave says "Penny, you're finally making sense!", it has a double meaning. One is that she is literally making sense, and the other is as in cents, as Penny gave the player money.
  • The pre-planted Cabbage-pult was introduced in the 6.0.1 update.
