Level 5-4 is the forty-fourth level in Plants vs. Zombies, Plants vs. Zombies: Endless Edition, and Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition, and it is the fourth Roof level. It is a regular level. When this level is finished for the first time, the player obtains the Watering Can for the Zen Garden, along with the Zen Garden mode itself. In the DSiWare version, the player instead receives bacon.

Difficulty

• There are three columns of Flower Pots. Therefore, the player most likely will need to plant more Flower Pots in order to beat the level.
• Bungee Zombies do not appear during the duration of the level, but they will bring down extra zombies at the final wave.
• The player will have to deal with Football Zombies, Pogo Zombies, and Ladder Zombies in three flags.
• The player may now use mushrooms since they have obtained the Coffee Bean.

Strategies

Strategy 1 (Requires at Least 8 Seed Slots):

• Required Plants
• Cabbage-pult
• Sunflower
• Cherry Bomb
• Jalapeno
• Flower Pot
• Coffee Bean
• Magnet-shroom
• Pumpkin

• Plant two columns of Sunflowers.
• You'll have to kill the Zombies with 3 lanes of Cabbage-pults so start planting them.
• When the Conehead Zombies come use two Cabbage-pults.
• When you have two columns of Sunflowers and Cabbage-pults, grab enough sun and start planting a column of Magnet-shrooms with Pumpkins before the first flag ends. Remember that you'll have to awaken them with Coffee Beans.
• Plant another column of Cabbage-pults.
• Plant Pumpkins in the third lane to prevent the ambush Zombies of eating your defenses.
• Once you finished setting up, use Cherry Bomb and Jalapeno when a massive amount of Zombies are eating your Pumpkins.

Strategy 2

• Required plants:
  • Sunflower
  • Flower Pot
  • Potato Mine
  • Cabbage-pult
  • Squash
  • Cherry Bomb or Jalapeno
  • Kernel-pult
  • Wall-nut
  • Magnet-shroom/Doom-shroom/Hypno-shroom and Coffee Bean (if you have ten seed slots)
• Plant two columns of Sunflowers while planting Potato Mines to kill the zombies at the start of the level. If the Potato Mines are still recharging, use a Squash to deal with next zombie. Then, start planting columns of offensive plants that will hit the zombies constantly.
• After, plant two rows of Wall-nuts (or Tall-nuts if you chose that plant) to defend yourself from Pogo Zombies, Football Zombies, and surprise attack zombies
• Use instant kills to kill big groups of zombies or ladders when placed on your Wall-nuts or Tall-nuts.
• As you have just received the Coffee Bean, you should use Magnet-shrooms to take away football helmets, ladders, and pogo sticks, making those zombies lose their special abilities. If you do not want to spend so much sun, use a Cherry Bomb, as they kill zombies within a 3x3 area. if you selected the Jalapeno, you can get rid of a lane of powerful zombies without much trouble.

Strategy 3: Gloom-shroom Crush

• Required plants:
  • Sunflower (obviously)
  • Flower Pot (also)
  • Cabbage-pult
  • Coffee Bean
  • Magnet-shroom
  • Fume-shroom
  • Gloom-shroom
  • Pumpkin
  • (9th Seed Slot) Hypno-shroom
  • (10th Seed Slot) Doom-shroom
• First, plant the two columns of Sunflowers. I'd recommend using the rake, but that's up to you. You should soon get 100 sun and be able to buy a Cabbage-pult. Start building a barrier on the 6th column. You should build the barrier out of Gloom-shrooms and Pumpkins. While that's under construction, build 2 columns of Cabbage-pults, and on the 5th column, place the Magnet-shrooms. The zombies can't pass the barrier that you've built. Congratulations, you've beaten the level!

Strategy 4:

• Requried plants:
  • Sunflower
  • Flower Pot
  • Magnet-shroom
  • Fume-shroom
  • Ice-shroom
  • Coffee Bean
  • Cabbage-pult
• Plant like this:

S S C F(^) M(^)

S IS(*) C F(^) M(^)

S S C F(^) M(^)

S IS(*) C F(^) M(^)

S S C F(^) M(^)

Key:

• S = Sunflower
• IS = Ice-shroom
• C = Cabbage-pult
• F = Fume-shroom
• M = Magnet-shroom
  • : Only use Coffee Bean when needed
• ^ : Use Coffee Bean

Notes:

- Only use the Ice-shrooms for emergancy.

- Try to use the Ice-shrooms to block the ambush zombies (To stop the zombies landing on the Magnet-shrooms and the Fume-shrooms)

- Try planting Flower Pots with Sunflowers on them to stall the zombies and protect the Magnet-Shrooms.

First wave

Although the Football Zombie becomes much weaker after his hat has been removed, he can still take away a chunk of the Pumpkin's health

Second wave

Because of Kernel-pult's lack of area-of-effect damage, I sometimes had to use Squash to clear out large clumps of weak zombies

Final wave. Now the Pumpkins play an important role here.
