Level 5-8 is the forty-eighth Plants vs. Zombies level and the eighth Roof level. When this level is finished for the first time, the player unlocks the Melon-pult.

Difficulty

• Although the Gargantuar is a slow zombie, it is very strong. Because this zombie does not eat plants, it will smash plants with its weapons. Just remember that Hypno-shroom, Garlic, Wall-nut, Tall-nut, and Pumpkin are completely useless against them. Once damaged enough, it will throw its Imp. The player must deal with its Imp as well as the Gargantuar.
• Since no Bungee Zombies steal your plants, three of them will drop additional ambush zombies. Use a Squash or Cherry Bomb to prevent them from eating your plants.

Strategies

• Suggested plants:
  • Sunflower
  • Flower Pot
  • Wall-nut or Tall-nut
  • Cabbage-pult
  • Kernel-pult
  • Squash
  • Fume-shroom and Coffee Bean (if you have seven and eight slots)
  • Jalapeno/Cherry Bomb (if you have nine slots)
  • Umbrella Leaf (optional, if you have ten slots)

Before the Gargantuar shows up

• Plant two columns of Sunflowers on the first and second lanes. Plant a Cabbage-pult or Kernel-pult once you see the first regular Zombie.
• Plant a column of Cabbage-pults and Kernel-pults on the third and fourth lanes. Once you have enough sun, you can plant the Fume-shroom and Coffee Bean. This will damage multiple zombies on your lanes.

When the Gargantuar shows up

• It is unadvised to use Ice-shrooms and Doom-shrooms with Coffee Beans, because they have very slow recharge. Instead, use a Squash and then a Jalapeno for good defenses.
• Only use explosions for emergency when the Gargantuar has thrown its Imp. This is a good way to prevent very slow recharging.
• Replace the second lane of Sunflowers with Kernel-pults. This will cause more butter to come out and stun the zombies.
• When the Bungee Zombies drop ambush zombies, avoid using the Cherry Bomb early. Once too many zombies are close to the empty Flower Pot, use the Cherry Bomb to deal more damage to the Gargantuar and destroy all the other zombies. Then use the Jalapeno to destroy its Imp.
