Level 5-3 is the forty-third level in Plants vs. Zombies, Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West, and Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition, and it is the third Roof level. It is a regular level. When this level is finished for the first time, the player obtains the Coffee Bean.

Difficulty

There are now only three columns of Flower Pots to start with, but the player can replace them when they are eaten.
Although Bungee Zombies do not appear at the start or during the duration of the level, they can bring down more zombies at the final wave.
The player may not know that the Ladder Zombie, who is introduced in this level, only places its ladder on Pumpkins, Wall-nuts, or Tall-nuts.
- Then, other zombies may use the ladder after it is placed, unless the plant gets removed or a Jalapeno, Cherry Bomb, or Cob Cannon destroys the ladder.

Strategy

Required plants:
Plant two columns of Sunflowers while planting Potato Mines to kill the zombies at the start of the level. Then, start planting one column of Kernel-pults and one or two columns of Cabbage-pults. Plant extra Flower Pots when needed.
Then, plant two columns of Wall-nuts to defend yourself from dropping zombies at the final wave and other zombies coming from the right hand side of the board.
Use instant-kills to kill big groups of zombies or ladders when placed on your Wall-nuts.
If necessary, plant an extra Flower Pot and an instant-kill plant on it to kill extra zombies.
