Survival: Fog is the fourth level of Survival Mode introduced in Plants vs. Zombies, Plants vs. Zombies: Journey to the West, and Plants vs. Zombies: Great Wall Edition. Being set in the Fog, the objective is to survive five waves with one flag given to the player for each wave.

Difficulty

There are a lot more different types of zombies present in this survival. Those include the Zomboni, Dolphin Rider Zombie, Jack-in-the-Box Zombie, Balloon Zombie, Digger Zombie, Pogo Zombie, Ladder Zombie, and Catapult Zombie. These zombies are very dangerous, and in waves when more are clustered together, it may be difficult to get every counter for every zombie on field.
It takes place in nighttime, and there is also fog. Bringing Plantern and Sun-shroom should be a must, especially in earlier waves.

Strategies

Strategy 1: Pool Glooms

Nothing terribly original here. The strategy uses Gloom-shrooms on pool lanes, like Survival: Endless builds.

Setup:

Nothing much different from the average fog level setups. Plant Sun-shrooms, Puff-shrooms, and possibly Sea-shrooms and Imitater Sea-shrooms. Slowly replace the Puff-shrooms with plants like Fume-shrooms, but you can keep some Puff-shrooms as delayers. You plant Planterns, protect them and whatnot. You can try placing the Gloom-shrooms on the first flag, but it is preferred to do it on the second.

Post-setup:

Place Gloom-shrooms on the pool. The total cost of a pumpkined pool Gloom-shroom is 375 sun. Then, not much else. You may add some Magnet-shrooms. You should also add any plants needed to counter some zombies, like Cattails or Blovers against Balloon Zombies, Umbrella Leaves against Catapult Zombies, land Gloom-shrooms close to the left against Digger Zombies, etc.

Strategy 2: 5 Flags, 4 Cats - by EMPeachy4

Made by EMPeachy Flag one: Here's what you will want to take:

Puff-shroom
Sun-shroom
Fume-shroom
Wall-nut
Lily Pad
Sea-shroom
Squash
Plantern
Scaredy-shroom
Cherry Bomb (if you have ten seed slots)

Start out by placing Sun-shrooms on land in columns one and two. Do the same with Puff-shrooms and Sea-shrooms in column four. Do NOT plant on column three and do NOT place Puff-shrooms on Lily Pads. It is a waste.

After you kill the first zombie, start adding another column of Puff-shrooms and Sea-shrooms in column five. This is also the time to start planting your Sun-shrooms in Pool columns one and two, and NOW plant Scaredy-shrooms on land in column three. Also add two more Sea-shrooms in this column. Your next job is to plant Planterns in rows one and six, column six (you could do this slightly earlier). Plant Wall-nuts in front of them and also in front of the Sea-shrooms, as they are vital to this setup. Finally, replace the Puff-shrooms with Fume-shrooms and replace the Sea-shrooms on column three with Scaredy-shrooms, then you are complete for the first flag! If something is going bad, use a Squash or another instant kill. Your lawn should look like this:

S S SC F F P W
S S SC F F
S S SC s s W
S S SC s s W
S S SC F F
S S SC F F P W

Key: S = Sun-shroom, SC = Scaredy-shroom, F = Fume-shroom, P = Plantern, W = Wall-nut, s = Sea-shroom

NOTE: If a letter is underlined, that means the plant is on a Lily Pad.

Flag two: These are your plants:

Lily Pad
Puff-shroom
Sun-shroom
Fume-shroom
Snow Pea
Repeater
Tall-nut
Imitater Tall-nut
Cattail
Cherry Bomb (if you have ten seed slots)

This flag is all about replacing. Right away, your Tall-nuts should be ready to be planted, so plant them on rows two and four to column six. Your Cattail should be ready to go too, so dig up one of the Sea-shrooms on column four, plant a Lily Pad, and then a Cattail. You should be able to have planted two Cattails before the huge wave, and if you are lucky you could have three. But remember to upgrade the Lily Pads on column four before the ones on column five, so they do not get eaten as quickly. You also need to remember to replace your existing Wall-nuts with Tall-nuts and Imitaters. The last thing to do is to replace the Scaredy-shrooms with Snow Peas. A word of warning though: sun is very tight.

Your Lawn should look like this:

S S SP F F P T
S S SP F F T
S S SP C s T
S S SP C s T
S S SP F F T
S S SP F F P T

S = Sun-shroom, SP = Snow Pea, F = Fume-shroom, P = Plantern, T = Tall-nut, C = Cattail, s = Sea-shroom

Flag three: Your Poison is...

Jalapeno
Imitater Jalapeno
Lily Pad
Cherry Bomb
Pumpkin
Tall-nut
Squash
Repeater
Cattail
Fume-shroom (only if you really need them)

Upgrade the last two Lily Pads ASAP. You also need to replace your Fume-shrooms with Repeaters to deal with the Dancing Zombies! On the final wave, a Digger Zombie will come. Use a Cherry Bomb or Jalapeno as soon as you see it. Your lawn should look like this:

S S SP R R P T
S S SP R R T
S S SP C C T
S S SP C C T
S S SP R R T
S S SP R R P T

S = Sun-shroom, SP = Snow Pea, R = Repeater, P = Plantern, T = Tall-nut, C = Cattail

More coming soon.

Metal and spikes Strategy

Plants needed (flag one)

Plant Sun-shrooms on the back three lanes (not on pool) as fast as possible. Plant Planterns on lane two and five in column six protected by a Pumpkin. Potato Mines are needed in this process. Now, dig up the entire back column of Sun-shrooms. Then, replace it with Repeaters. In both pool lanes at columns six, seven, eight, and nine, place Gloom-shrooms with Pumpkins. Also place two Gloom-shrooms behind all Planterns.

Plants needed (flag two)

Dig up all Sun-shrooms in column three. Replace column three with Magnet-shrooms. Replace column four with any shooting plant.

Anything not done will be done in flag four and five.

Jackninja5's Strategy

First Wave

Choose these:

Sun-shrooms and Puff-shrooms are going to go in the places they were in the Survival Night mode. Scaredy-shrooms also do the same. Fume-shrooms still replace the Puff-shrooms. But Sea-shrooms should go in the Pool (not Puff-shrooms on Lily Pads) and Blover should be used often. Still the fifth column should not have Fume-shrooms. I had quite a poor job done because my diagram was like this:

S S SC PS PS PS
S S SC PS PS PS
LS LS LSC SS SS SS
LS LS LSC LFS SS LFS
S S SC PS PS PS
S S SC PS PS PS

S = Sun-shroom
SC = Scaredy-shroom
PS = Puff-shroom
FS = Fume-Shroom
L = Lily Pad
SS = Sea-shroom

Wave 2

Choose:

Fume-shroom
Blover
Lily Pad
Puff-shroom
Sea-shroom
Gloom-shroom
Magnet-shroom
Tall-nut
Tangle Kelp
Doom-shroom (optional)

You could have done better than I did by planting more Fume-shrooms. I didn't want to have to do this but I am not using Blovers until I finish planting Fume-shrooms. You don't have to do the same if you have planted a good amount of Fume-shrooms. Fifth column is once again for Magnets. Diagram for mine (and what you should have now) is here:

S S SC FS MS GS
S S SC FS MS FS
LS LS LSC LFS SS LFS
LS LS LSC LFS SS LGS
S S SC FS MS FS
S S SC FS MS FS

MS = Magnet-shroom
GS = Gloom-shroom

Wave 3

Well, we are now at where we should be so plant:

Gloom-shroom
Magnet-shroom
Lily Pad
Tall-nut
Blover
Doom-shroom
Ice-shroom
Hypno-shroom (optional)
Tangle Kelp
Pumpkin

Plant the last two Magnets on Lily Pads in the pool and put Pumpkins around the Sun-shrooms in the first column, just in case Digger Zombies come. Keep the work with the Glooms up. The lawn should look like this:

(S) S SC FS MS GS
S SC FS MS GS
LS LS LSC LFS LMS LGS
LS LS LSC LFS LMS LGS
(S) S SC FS MS GS
S SC FS MS GS
