โ€”Crazy Dave

Pyramid of Doom is the first Endless Zone in Plants vs. Zombies 2. It is Ancient Egypt's Endless Zone. In the versions before the 1.7 update, the Pyramid of Doom was unlocked after beating the last day of Ancient Egypt. In later versions, it was unlocked after beating Day 12, until update 9.9.2, in which it is now unlocked after clearing Ancient Egypt again. As its name suggests, the levels themselves are much more challenging than the ordinary levels. The number of zombies increases with every level, and the combination of zombies is random. Additionally, levels can also have three and four flags. In the initial versions, sandstorms were occurring more frequently, while in the later versions, the Mummified Gargantuars replaced the surprise attack. However, Sandstorms were restored in the 2.9 update.

Strategies[]

It is advised to take Grave Buster as some levels have boards almost full of graves at the beginning. Even though they can be destroyed by sheer damage, they are quite bulky, and can get in the way of planting. If the player has Phat Beet, destroying graves by sheer damage becomes easier, but still takes some time to accomplish. The player may also take Potato Mine and Iceberg Lettuce to deal with early zombies without spending a lot of sun. Winter Melons have a lot of use here because there are many zombies and tombstones and it can do heavy damage to groups of zombies, slow them down, ignore tombstones, and extinguish the Explorer Zombies' torches. In some worst-case scenarios, it is also advised to stack up an extreme amount of sun to deal with Gargantuars. On the second and fourth columns it is advised to put Winter Melons and Melon-pults should there be Mummified Gargantuars, since they are strong enough to kill them. On the third column, you could place either Spikeweeds, Spikerocks, Wall-nuts, and Tall-nuts because that is where the Imp Mummies land once they are thrown. Strawburst is another exceptional pick, as though it is expensive, it can clear out graves with ease, and with the help of Winter Melon or Cold Snapdragon, can handle hordes of zombies incredibly easily.

For another strategy, you will need Winter Melon, Potato Mine, Iceberg Lettuce, Cherry Bomb, Magnifying Grass, Twin Sunflower and Grave Buster. If you have eight seed slots you can bring anything else. Put two rows of Twin Sunflowers in the second and third column, use Grave Busters if there are graves. Keep the zombies busy with Potato Mines and Iceberg Lettuce. If there are more than one zombie and the potato mine is still charging, put a row of Magnifying Grasses on the first column and keep the zombies busy until you build your sun production. When you are done, put Winter Melons on the fourth and fifth column and sixth if you can. If there are Mummified Gargantuars, use Magnifying Grass to weaken them so they throw the Imps, then use the Magnifying Grass again to kill the Imps, and use it again to kill the Gargantuars. This strategy can help you pass levels easily and without spending coins.

Yet another strategy consists of Twin Sunflower, Wall-nut, Grave Buster, Coconut Cannon, Winter Melon, Phat Beet, Tile Turnip and Ghost Pepper. Note: This strategy needs the Extra Seed Slot (eighth) and (though not tested) will not work on levels with Gargantuars. Starting off, plant Twin Sunflower on the second column and place the first Tile Turnip on that column as soon as you have the chance. Then, once you have enough sun, place another Tile Turnip, place another one if you want to expand your economy. Depending on how many flags there are, use that much Plant Food. Start planting Phat Beets and Wall-Nuts in front of the Twin Sunflowers. At the back put Winter Melons, use Ghost Pepper for killing zombies faster. Once you have enough sun, place a row of Coconut Cannons, and from there shoot Coconut Cannons and use Ghost Pepper on zombies. This can carry you far into Pyramid Of Doom.

Using premium plants[]

Using Power Lily is a very good choice in this Endless Zone. If you have Imitater you can imitate Power Lily to get Plant Food more often. Pea-nut is not very reliable because Explorer Zombies can burn it very quickly, the tombstones block the Peas that are shot by Pea-nut and it does not do nearly as much damage that is needed in this zone. Ghost Pepper is also useful here because it can haunt the graves, then explode, causing heavy damage to surrounding graves and zombies. Grapeshot is an alternative plant for destroying tombstones if you don't have Ghost Pepper. For those seeking a bit of thrill, Caulipowers could be a good choice in stages with Gargantuars since they could hypnotize said zombies, although it will prioritize the most basic zombies first, so helping Caulipower with plants like Fume-shroom is needed. An alternative to Caulipower is Hypno-shroom when given Plant Food, as it will transform a zombie into a Gargantuar, although it can cost you a Plant Food if not used properly.

Required:

Shadow Peashooter2

Pepper-mint2

Iceberg Lettuce2 (Recommended Lvl 11+)

Moonflower2

Melon-pult2 (Recommended Lvl 3+)

Bowling Bulb2 (Recommended Lvl 3+)

Optional: Squash2 or Primal Potato Mine2 (Req. Lvl 3+)

Spear-mint2 or Gold Bloom2 (You need shovel boost for Spear-mint2)

Place Pepper-mint2, Moonflower2, and Spear-mint2/Gold Bloom2 once the level starts. This way, all graves are decimated and you have enough sun to get your defenses up and running. Place Shadow Peashooter2 in the 1st and 3rd columns to attack the zombies. They will also drag down imps and ambush zombies. Melon-pult2 in column 4, Bowling Bulb2 for the rest of the lawn. In longer levels, if you brang Spear-mint2 , keep the Spikerocks. After, you may use Spear-mint2 for free sun. Squash2 or Primal Potato Mine2 should be used for Gargantuars. Your lawn should look like this: (You don't need that many but you can place them down in longer levels with enough sun.)

This is the recommended pick for every levels:

  • Primal Sunflower2
  • Winter Melon2
  • Strawburst2***
  • Cold Snapdragon2
  • Power Lily2
  • Imitater2
  • Shrinking Violet2***
  • Tile Turnip2

* Not required, but would be extremely nice if you have them.
** In case you do not own those premium plants. Replace Cold Snapdragon with regular Snapdragon/Infi-nut and Shrinking Violet with Iceberg Lettuce.
*** Replace Shrinking Violet with Infi-nut if you do not own it. Melon-pult can be a replacement for Strawburst.

Imitater should be used on Power Lily.

Switch Shrinking Violet with Grapeshot on levels without Gargantuars.

After you have obtained all the plants, select the "Start off with 200 extra sun" card. That will greatly help you in the early stages of the level.

Your sun economy are built in the second and fourth columns. Plant Primal Sunflowers there. Feed it one Plant Food. Tombstones can be a nuisance early on. Use Cold Snapdragons/regular Snapdragons to destroy them, making room for your Primal Sunflowers. Remember to dig them up after the tombstones are destroyed. Plant two Tile Turnips under your Primal Sunflowers. Feed them Plant Food and plant the third Tile Turnip under another Primal Sunflower. Continue to feed them until you get the fourth one; plant it under another Primal Sunflower. Every Plant Food should generate 900 sun now; feed them until you get 2000 sun, enough for another Tile Turnip. Refill with Power Lilies if you run out of Plant Food. The third column should be filled out with Snapdragons/Cold Snapdragons (plant an Infi-nut in the middle and Plant Food it if you're using regular Snapdragon; otherwise, fill out that space with another Cold Snapdragon. You should have about four to a whole column of Winter Melons on the first column, a column of Cold Snapdragons/four regular Snapdragons and an Infi-nut on the third column, and ten Primal Sunflowers on column 2 and 4. Snapdragons will help dealing with Sandstorms and Imps thrown by Gargantuars. From there, plant Melon-pults. Refill your Plant Food stock with Power Lily and Imitater Power Lily whenever they're ready. When you consider that you have enough sun, dig up the Primal Sunflowers on Power Tiles and fill one with an Iceberg Lettuce/Shrinking Violet, and the rest with Melon-pults. That way, you can suppress the horde when the pressure starts to get to you. Do not forget to refill your Plant Food with Power Lilies. If you fail to do so, stall with your plants at the end of the level to refill it.

  • Note that Melon-pult can be replaced with Strawburst and vice versa.

Feed Plant Food to Shrinking Violet if there is pressure; this will decimate the zombie horde. You should be refilling Plant Food constantly with Power Lilies.

Grapeshot, in levels without Gargantuars can destroy the tombstones early on, allowing significantly more room for your plants, and as a last resort option if the zombies have ventured too far into your defenses.

  • Required plants:
    • Grave Buster2
    • Primal Sunflower2
    • Cherry Bomb2 (will help a lot with tombstones)
    • Puff-shroom2 (for earlier when you are still trying to build up sun)
    • Rotobaga2 or Starfruit2
    • Snapdragon2
    • Infi-nut2 or Primal Wall-nut2

Line up the Snapdragons behind the Rotobagas or Starfruits, depending on which you used. The Rotobagas/Starfruits will reach every row because of the placement. The Snapdragons are used to protect from zombies that get too close. Every once in a while, use some Plant Food if you see a Pharaoh Zombie or a Gargantuar. Due to the range, Tomb Raiser Zombies are not much of a threat. However, lots of Tomb Raiser Zombies can fill up the lawn. Build a wall of Primal Wall-nuts or Infi-nuts, depending which you selected, in the fourth column in front of your Snapdragons.

    • Imitater2 (Optional: Use to imitate Pea-nut, Wall-nut, Cherry Bomb, Jalapeno, Grave Buster, or Power Lily)
    • Jalapeno2 or Cherry Bomb2 (Optional: Helps to clear out unwanted zombies and graves, but is not necessarily needed)

Sunflower can be replaced with any of the sun producing plants listed above, and Primal Wall-nut can be replaced with Pea-Nut or Wall-nut. But if you do replace one of those plants, keep in mind everything listed above. Also, place all the Cold Snapdragons before placing any Nuts. Remember to replace the Nuts when needed. Plant Food should always be used on one of the front-most Cold Snapdragons in one of the middle 3 rows. Tile Turnips should be placed on the second row of Cold Snapdragons. They should be planted in this order:

  1. Column 3, Row 2 or 4
  2. Whatever was not chosen in step 1
  3. Column 3, Row 1 or 5
  4. Whatever was not chosen in step 3
  5. Column 3, Row 3
  6. (Do not continue to this step unless the whole rest of the defense is planted, including the other 5 Tile Turnips) Column 4, Row 1 or 5
  7. Whatever was not chosen in step 6
  8. Column 4, Row 2, 3, or 4
  9. One of the spots not chosen in step 8
  10. Whatever is left over from step 8

Chances are you won't get past step 6, however.

Situations:

  • Explorer Zombie2: Normally, this will not be a problem. The Cold Snapdragons should be able to put out the torch before it can get to any of the plants. There is a rare chance that the Explorer will take out a Nut, but if that happens, it is really not a big deal, just replant it as soon as possible.
  • Tomb Raiser Zombie2: This is not a problem unless they appear early and your defenses are not fully built yet. Use Grave Buster to clear any tombs in the first four columns. Even after, it may help to clear graves to make full use of Pea-nut (If being used).
  • Buckethead Mummy2: Nothing. You are fine. As long as most of your Cold Snapdragons are planted, these really pose no threat.
  • Pharaoh Zombie2: You are probably fine as long as you have a Nut in that row.
  • Mummified Gargantuar2: Tile Turnip is a great help if one of these show up. Since 3 Plant Food effects on Cold Snapdragon will kill the Gargantuar, you can do this with one plant food with the help of Tile Turnip. If the Gargantuar appears in the top of bottom row, you may need to use an instant kill and a Plant Food to kill it.

As of 3/30/16, I have completed 33 levels using this strategy.

    • Imitater2 (to imitate Explode-O-Nut)
    • Grapeshot2
    • Jalapeno2
    • Squash2
    • Escape Root2

On the first levels of the game, you will not have to worry but get them as soon as you can. Start planting as many Sun-shroom on the first and second columns as possible, and put more, as you free spaces from the tombstones, making two complete columns. Put in as many explode-O-Nut's and Imitater on the field as you can. When you encounter Explorer Zombie, put some Cold Snapdragons behind the nuts to prevent them from being burnt and slowing them down, and therefore dying without exploding. Use Jalapeno and Grapeshot to get rid of the tombs and the zombies if the wave is too hard to deal with Explode-O-Nut only. If sandstorms appear, some zombies bypass your defenses and go directly to Sun-shrooms or Cold Snapdragons. Switch places with them by using Escape Root, or simply kill them with Squash, Jalapeno, or Grapeshot. In levels with Gargantuars, simply placing one Explode-O-Nut in the front of them, with the impact, they will explode. Combine this with the Imitater to quickly get rid of the Gargantuar and the surrounding enemies as well. If you feel that you are not having enough sun, pick the sun on the cards to get an additional 200 sun on the next levels.

    • Cherry Bomb2
    • Winter Melon2
    • Primal Peashooter2
    • Primal Potato Mine2
    • Hurrikale2
    • Gold Bloom2

Use Gold Bloom for headstart. Then, plant five Primal Peashooters at the leftmost column to clear the graves at start (if necessary). You should plant Twin Sunflowers at the second column. You can use Cherry Bombs or Primal Potato Mine to get rid of zombies and graves. Keep planting Gold Bloom for sun boost to get Winter Melon to handle with a huge wave of incoming zombies. If the level has no Gargantuars, plant at least two columns of Winter Melon to win. However, if the level contains Gargantuars, plant some Primal Potato Mines to handle with super-tough zombies. You can also use Hurrikale if you still cannot handle them. Use plant food wisely. If you don't have Hurrikale, replace with Iceberg Lettuce. Use plant food with it to freeze all the zombies on the screen to prevent Gragantuars throwing Imps. If you don't have Gold Bloom, use two different producing plants. Sun-shroom also works well.

The plants' usage

  • Twin Sunflower2: Main sun producer, gives a 100 sun.
  • Sun-shroom2: Main sun producer, very cheap, and gives 75 sun in its grown up stage. Replace Twin Sunflowers when using.
  • Moonflower2: Main sun producer, used to power shadow plants. Put in the second column for powering plants in front of and behind it.
  • Repeater2: Main attacker, put behind any other plants because it deals more damage.
  • Melon-pult2: Main attacker, does heavy and splash damage, useful for tombstones.
  • Snow Pea2: Chills and freezes zombies, has the same DPS as Repeater.
  • Winter Melon2: Chills and freezes zombies, does heavy and splash damage, useful for tombstones and multiple Explorer Zombies.
  • Goo Peashooter2: Used to poison zombies and knockback zombies, useful with Snow Pea.
  • Shadow Peashooter2: Acts like a Peashooter, but can be powered and act pretty well.
  • Split Pea2: Used to deal with Sandstorms and Imp Mummies.
  • Dusk Lobber2: Can shoot up to 3 lanes when powered, mainly used to deal with Sandstorms and Imp Mummies.
  • Iceberg Lettuce2: Delays zombies in early game. If you doesn't have Goo or Shadow Peashooter, it's one free slot for Iceberg Lettuce. Never use with Primal/Teleportato Mines.
  • Grimrose2: Used to wipe out annoying zombies. If you don't have Goo or Shadow Peashooter, it's one free slot for Grimrose.
  • Primal Potato Mine2: Early game delay, also used to destroy Tombstones. Never use with Iceberg Lettuce.
  • Teleportato Mine2: Early game delay, teleporting zombies to lanes full of Tombstones, which it can destroy. Never use with Iceberg Lettuce.
  • Hypno-shroom2: Used to turn annoying zombies' traits, Such as Pharaoh Zombie's, to your favor. Also used with Plant Food to create a hypnotized Mummified Gargantuar to devastate lanes.
  • Caulipower2: Used against Mummified Gargantuars and Pharaoh Zombies, needs help from other plants to target those.
  • Gold Bloom2: Gives a lot of sun in the early game, allowing you to plant a Twin Sunflower and an offensive plant.
  • Power Lily2: Used to replenish/create extra Plant Food.
  • Cherry Bomb2: In early game, is used to destroy Tombstones. In late game, used to devastate lots of troublesome zombies.
  • Pea Pod2: Extra offensive plant, used to deal a lot more damage when 5 Pods are in the same tile. Plant these in front of Snow Peas.

Strategy

At least one Twin Sunflower, Moonflower or Sun-shroom must be planted for you to plant offensive plants. Gold Bloom is useful for sun production. Plant the delaying plant you chose to allow more plants to be allowed early. You should plant shadow plants adjacent to the Moonflower for maximum efficiency. Prioritize a full lane of sun producers, then Repeaters, then Snow Peas, then Goo Peashooters, then Pea Pods (if you chose it). Prioritize Snow Peas over Melon-Pult and Repeaters over Winter-Melon because of their low cost, and both Melons over Goo Peashooters. With shadow plants, the order is: a full lane of Moonflowers, then 2 Dusk Lobbers (in lanes 2 and 4 of column 1), then a full lane of Shadow Peashooters, then Repeaters/Snow Peas, then Dusk Lobbers in lanes 3, 5 and 1 (in that order), then Melons, then Pea Pods. Use Hypno-shrooms to benefit from Pharaoh Zombie's high Health. An Explorer Zombie shouldn't be a threat for Snow Peas/Winter Melons. Tomb Raiser Zombie may be a problem if you don't chose Melons and Dusk Lobbers, although an Insta or Caulipower (or even Grimose) should work. Camel Zombies are dispatched quickly by the large amount of peas/melons. Imp Mummies and Sandstorm Zombies may devour your Shadow Peashooters/Repeaters, but Split Pea/Dusk Lobber can prevent them from going further. Caution needs to be used with the Mummified Gargantuar, but a Teleportato Mine plus a Cherry Bomb, a Plant Food-powered plant or a Caulipower should work in emergency.

Some plants are necessary to complete levels, while some plants are dependent on the zombies that is featured and/or the situation on the field. Can be done with only 7 seed slots (8 in Bonus Seed Slot)

Necessary plants:

  • Cold Snapdragon2 (the main plant of choice)
  • Sun-producing plant of choice (though if the level has Mummified Gargantuars in it, particularly choose Moonflower2)
  • Dusk Lobber2 / Lightning Reed2 (primary offensive plant)
  • Grave Buster2 (needed in further levels, when the gravestones fill even the third column, where the Cold Snapdragons are placed)
  • Primal Potato Mine2 (Plant Food effect to clear out huge waves of zombies)

Other plants of choice:

  • Bloomerang2 (primary plant of choice in the early levels)
  • Coconut Cannon2 / Banana Launcher2 (used in levels with Mummified Gargantuars to deal huge damage, not recommended in further levels when the Mummified Gargantuars would overwhelm the charging time of either plant)
  • Spikerock2 / Chard Guard2 / Primal Wall-nut2 (all three are used in levels with Mummified Gargantuars to absorb smashes from them, Spikerock can be chosen in levels even without Mummified Gargantuars, and Primal Wall-nut is replaced by Grave Buster2 if the level starts with many gravestones pr to make room for Coconut Cannon2 or Banana Launcher2)
  • Winter Melon2 (can be used regardless if the level has Mummified Gargantuars or not for dealing huge amount of damage)
  • Laser Bean2 / Fume-shroom2 (chosen in levels without Mummified Gargantuars to either support Lightning Reed2 in dealing Area of Effect damage or be the primary Area of Effect Damage plant)
  • Infi-nut2 (only useful if it has its Instant Plant Food effect)
  • Bowling Bulb2 / Primal Peashooter2 (chosen in levels without Mummified Gargantuars as another support offensive plant)
  • Vamporcini2 (only particularly useful in levels without Mummified Gargantuars and the flags are 3 or 4 to allow the 2 Vamporcinis to have their Plant Food effect activated)

Strategy

Regardless of the zombies featured, the set-up should always start with the sun-producing plant being placed on the second column (if it's not Moonflower2, use a Plant Food) and place Cold Snapdragon2 rows 2 and 4 on the third column to clear out tombstones and at the same time damage the first few zombies that is approaching (Grave Buster2 should be used first if those said rows are occupied by tombstones) It should consist of the second column being the sun-producing plant of choice and the third column being Cold Snapdragon2.

If the level has Mummified Gargantuars:

The sun-producing plant of choice should always be Moonflower2 in this situation. On the first column should be a row full of Dusk Lobber2. The third column should be the aforementioned Cold Snapdragons though it the flags are either 3 or 4, can be replaced by another column of Dusk Lobbers, though it makes it more suspectable to Imp Mummies that are thrown by Mummified Gargantuars. The fourth column could be either another column of Cold Snapdragon2 or the option between Coconut Cannon2 and Banana Launcher2, but the fifth column should definitely be another column of Cold Snapdragons. The three aforementioned plants that were used to take hits from Mummified Gargantuars (in the case of Chard Guard2, pushing them back) are all needed in said levels, though Primal Wall-nut2 is excluded in favor of Grave Buster2 if the level starts with many gravestones in the lawn.

If the level does not have Mummified Gargantuars:

The fourth and fifth column should be replaced with any of the other offensive plants that are being chosen as seen above. If the flags of the level are either 3 or 4, the Plant Food effect of Vamporcini2 that are placed in rows 2 and 4 in the sixth column should be used to deal further damage to the huge hordes of zombies.

Trivia[]

See Endless Zone for more trivia.
  • The player will never get Blover here, even though Imp Mummies launched by Mummified Gargantuars and zombies tossed by Power Toss can be blown.
  • It is the first Endless Zone where the first zombie is not always the Basic Zombie variant (in this case Ra Zombie). This trend is continued with Arthur's Challenge.
    • It is the only Endless Zone to have it so the first zombie is not always a Basic Zombie or an Imp variant.
    • Unlike Imps in other Endless Zones, the Ra Zombie does not instantly trigger the next wave of zombies.
  • Torchlight Zombie, Pyramid-Head Zombie, and Egypt Rally Zombie never appear in this Endless Zone.
