Ancient Egypt - Day 5 is the fifth level of Ancient Egypt in Plants vs. Zombies 2. This level serves as the introductory level for the Explorer Zombie, right before unlocking its counter. This level also provides information about buying Power Ups to use them. Once beating this level, the player gets introduced to the Store and the Piñatas. When this level is finished for the first time, the player gets Iceberg Lettuce.
Dialogue[]
(Crazy Dave appears)
Crazy Dave: If you want to use a Power Up, you can buy one with coins! Just tap on that doohickey down there and you're in business!
(Crazy Dave leaves)
(After completing the level, Crazy Dave appears)
Crazy Dave: Those torchy Explorer Zombies are rude and inflammatory! If only we could freeze fire!
(After acquiring the Iceberg Lettuce)
Crazy Dave: I want to make Iceberg Lettuce freeze fire more better-er, Penny!
Penny: We can find seed packets in piñatas in the Store.
Tutorial: Visit the store!
(After entering the Store)
Penny: The Ancient Egypt piñata might have what we're looking for. Take these gems and buy one!
(After leaving the Store)
Crazy Dave: Wowsers! That's node's got a skull on it! What could it mean?
Difficulty[]
This level is the first appearance of the Explorer Zombies. It might be hard to counter them, since Iceberg Lettuce is not obtained yet, but he only spawns a few times and is easy to counter.
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) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 
|
None | |
| 2 | 
|
None | |
| 3 | 
|
None | Carries 1x Plant Food. |
| 4 | 
|
None | |
| 5 | 
|
None | Carries 1x Plant Food. |
| 6 |
|
None | Final wave. Carries 1x Plant Food. |
Strategies[]
- This level features two Explorer Zombies, both at the end of the wave. They shouldn't be a problem, specially because they appear alone in the lane. Killing him with a Cabbage-pult and a Bloomerang will work before he burns any plant.
- The winning strategy involves planting a column of Sunflowers, then Cabbage-Pults, then Bloomerangs, in that order, from left to right.
- If there are too many zombies on the screen, use Plant Food on the Cabbage-pult to clear them out or inflict heavy damage.

Trivia[]
- Like with Ancient Egypt - Day 3, this level introduces a zombie (the Explorer Zombie) before unlocking its counter (the Iceberg Lettuce).
- This was previously Ancient Egypt - Day 4.
- During the introduction to the Store/Piñatas, Crazy Dave says he wants to upgrade Iceberg Lettuce. However, the Piñata we can buy from the Store might not reward you with Iceberg Lettuce seeds.
- When talking about the "red skull node" (that is Ancient Egypt - Day 6), Crazy Dave says "Wowsers! That's node's got a skull on it!". This is a gramatical error.
