Guide For Plants vs. Zombies

Stage Two: Night

Overview

The main difference between Day and Night is that sun does not fall from the sky. This is reflected in that many mushrooms have low sun costs to plant, but it is still recommended that you bring Sun-shrooms (when they are unlocked), planting a column of each in the back. Overkill is not enough on the Night levels. The graves on every level spawn zombies on the final wave, so pay attention and use Grave Busters (again, when unlocked).

Strategy

One strategy to the night levels is that you can use the Sun-shroom instead of a Sunflower;Other one is that you plant a Puff-shroom anywhere, and collect sun. After you have enough sun you can take the Puff-shroom away with the shovel and plant what you want there.

Second Adventure - Level 2-1 (by MasaosDragon)

Okay, bring your spanking-new Puff-shrooms for no-cost zombie win and some other low cost plants, such as Potato Mines or Peashooters. It takes only one Puff-shroom to bring down a normal Zombie, though it kills it barely before the Zombie is in range. Newspaper Zombies also appear here, but Bucketheads and Pole Vaulters do not. They speed up when you destroy their newspaper, so plant extra Puff-shrooms when you see them come. This is not difficult in the slightest. It is actually possible to defeat this level with only Puff-shrooms. This is also the first level you get money.

Plant earned: Sun-shroom

New Zombie: Newspaper Zombie

Present: Versus Mode unlocked (if playing the Xbox Live Arcade, DS, or PS3 versions)

At this point, Crazy Dave will tell you how much money you have saved. If you have $750, he will attempt to sell you an extra seed slot, which you should definitely accept if you can afford it.

This level, despite being so early in the game, is actually one of the harder levels in the game and could catch you off guard if unprepared. The level itself brings back Bucketheads, so bring Sunflowers or Sun-shrooms to rack up the Sun, as well as Wall-nuts,Repeaters, and Snow Peas, and, of course, your Puff-shrooms. Focus on Sun-shrooms in the beginning, planting Sunflowers later on. Snow Peas are very important or else the Bucketheads will plow through your Puff-shrooms. After the first wave, Bucketheads start coming, so make sure you have up Snow Peas,Reapeaters, and Wall-nuts to defend against them. Sun production is not an issue with a combo of 1 row of Sunflowers & Sun-shrooms, but the key is continuing to build your defenses until the final wave or it will catch you off guard.

Plant earned: Fume-shroom

Level 2-3

For full article, see Level 2-3 This level has the new Screen Door Zombies, which carry around screen doors to protect themselves with. These are about as tough as Bucketheads, so use your new Fume-shrooms to pass through the doors. This level is pretty easy. There's only one wave, so don't knock yourself out if you need to use a Lawn Mower.

Plant earned: Grave Buster

New Zombie: Screen Door Zombie

Level 2-4

For full article, see Level 2-4 Nothing too hard about this. Coneheads, Screen Doors, and Pole Vaulters. Nothing you have not seen before. This level has a lot of graves, so bring Grave Busters to eat them... before they spawn zombies to EAT YOUR BRAINS! Plus, there's a 90% chance to earn a silver coin. There's another wave this time, so beef up your Fume-shrooms and Snow Peas. Um... That's all, I guess.

Item earned: Suburban Almanac

Level 2-5

For full article, see Level 2-5

It is time to play Whack a Zombie! Click/tap whatever the zombies to kill them as soon as they come out of the graves. Coneheads need to be hit twice, Bucketheads three times. Use your Sun to plant Grave Busters on graves that are closer to your house. The zombies move fairly fast, so, uh, click/tap/whatever faster. Yeah. Just like hunting squirbos. Plant as many Grave-Busters as you can. At the final wave, after all the zombies have emerged from their graves, plant a Cherry Bomb in a group of zombies to make it easier to kill the rest.

Plant earned: Hypno-shroom

Level 2-6

For full article, see Level 2-6 This is where it gets tough. Football Zombies are as fast as Pole Vaulters and a bit tougher than Bucketheads, so use your new Hypno-shrooms make them fight for you. Fortunately, there's only one wave and about two Football Zombies.

Plant earned: Scaredy-shroom

New Zombie: Football Zombie

Level 2-7

For full article, see Level 2-7

Many graves here. Many, many graves. Bust them up and count your money. Use Scaredy-shrooms like you would use them like Peashooters. Put them near the back, or the Scaredy-shrooms will duck and get eaten. Very few Football Zombies, but Screen Doors make a return, so double up on the Fume-shrooms. Nothing too spectacular here.

Plant earned: Ice-shroom

Level 2-8

For full article, see Level 2-8 Dancing Zombies appear here. Dancing Zombies are not so bad themselves, but Hypno-shroom or Cherry Bomb them as soon as you see them to make them do your bidding. Only one wave here and very few Dancing Zombies.

Plant earned: Doom-shroom

New Zombies: Dancing Zombies, Backup Dancer

Level 2-9

For full article, see Level 2-9 More graves and Dancing Zombies this time around. Whatever you have been using before should work here, as well. Screen Door Zombies return, so Fume them to death. If you beat the last level, you can beat this one. If necessary, use your new-found Doom-shroom to end the last wave quickly.

Item earned: note

Level 2-10

For full article, see Level 2-10
All Night encountered zombies (except Newspaper), as well as those encountered on day ( except Buckethead and Pole Valuting ), appear in this level. You get Ice-shrooms, Doom-shrooms, Puff-shrooms, Fume-shrooms, Hypno-shrooms, Scaredy-shrooms and Grave Busters here, so hypnotize the Football Zombies, use Fume-shrooms for Screen Door Zombies, and use Doom-shrooms for Dancing Zombies. Freeze zombies when huge waves come and use the Doom-shroom to destroy zombies that you cannot kill with your projectiles. Spread your Puff-shrooms, Fume-shrooms, and Scaredy-shrooms evenly throughout. Remember to put Scaredy-shrooms at the back so that they won't be scared. There are a LOT of graves here, so use your Grave Busters wisely.
