Marigold (Boss)

For the plant with identical name in Plants vs. Zombies and Plants vs. Zombies 2, see Marigold.

Marigold is a boss plant in Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare 2. She is considered the plant version of the Treasure Yeti. She will sometimes spawn in a Graveyard Ops in an objective wave, where the zombies have to find and defeat her in order to earn coins, coin bags and diamonds, as well as appearing rarely in the Backyard Battleground.

Her first appearance in the Backyard Battleground is in the mission "Ancient Knowledge", where the player has to find and interact with The Scroll of Instruction for the Zen Sensei. After interacting with the scroll, the chest that it lays on is revealed to be a hiding Marigold, which the player must then vanquish. She also makes a minor appearance in another mission, where two Marigolds hide in breakable barrels. They will rarely appear in the backyard, depending on their location. However, after a period of time, if they have not been vanquished and are still being chased, they will disappear, forcing the player to end their hunt.

Appearance

She resembles a normal Marigold, except that she seems to be made entirely out of valuables. her body and "arms" are made out of gold, while her petals are made of diamonds and her face is a large gem made of gold. She has a treasure chest located at her base, where she hides inside when not being chased.

Trials of Gnomus DLC

• Knockback was being unintentionally dispelled, making it easy for her to be cornered (Attacks now applies knockback)

Abilities

Like the Treasure Yeti, the Marigold is extremely fast and will try to escape from the player. The Marigold has a special attack, which consists of the Marigold jumping into the air and doing a backflip before slamming her treasure chest into the ground, sending a shockwave around them, stunning all zombies in the radius, similarly to the Treasure Yeti's freezing attack. In contrast to the Treasure Yeti, she has no other attacks besides ramming into zombies and knocking them back.

Strategies

This boss is fast and disruptive. it is recommended to stay away from them because she can use its Chest Slam that can stun you, much like the Treasure Yeti's freeze attack. Using a sniper like Captain Deadbeard, Foot Soldier, Paleontologist, or Astronaut is suggested. However, this means that you will have to pick up all of the coins later on. Alternatively, it is possible to stay just outside the range of the Chest Slam while attacking. Although getting the distance correct takes some practice, maintaining this range is much more profitable than sniping, as your shots have a higher chance of hitting the fast Marigold.

Keep in mind that despite her similarities in function to the Treasure Yeti, she is much smaller than the Yeti and is therefore harder to hit.
