  1. Just for the sake of clarity, here’s the pinned comment from parts 1, 2, and 3 answering any FAQs regarding the series!

    • Why are you using plant food if PvZ1 doesn’t have plant food?

    I didn’t think about this going into the challenge, but I’ll be sticking to using plant food due to how PvZ2 is designed around this mechanic.

    • Why won’t you use premiums from the first game in this challenge?

    The main reason I’m not using premiums is just to have strategies for this challenge be more accessible to everyone. There are exceptions to this rule, I can use them in SD and LaL levels, and as Tier 2-4 plants But I’m limiting myself as much as possible in order to make this challenge as fun and “freemium” as possible!

    Also gem plants and Torchwood are exceptions to this rule.

    • Can’t you use [insert plant here], they were in PvZ1 China? And what about [PvZ2 plants that function the same as a PvZ1 plant that isn’t in the game]?

    The way I see it, plants such as Bonk Choy were designed as PvZ2 plants first, and were added to PvZ1 China later, so I’m not counting them as PvZ1 plants. Iceberg Lettuce, while possibly based off of a scrapped PvZ1 plant, was also redesigned as a PvZ2 plant.

    As for plants like Gloom Vine, Ice Bloom, Homing Thistle, etc., I’ve allowed them for use, but through the Four Tier system. If a level is beaten using a Tier 3 plant, the level was technically completed using a PvZ2 plant that acts as a PvZ1 plant without the use of plant food. Whether you see levels beaten with Tier 3 plants as beaten with PvZ1 plants is up to interpretation, although the ultimate goal of this challenge is to beat as much as possible WITH ONLY Tier 1 plants.

    • Hey, did you know that you can change Peashooter back to level 1/obtain seed packet plants by editing the game’s files?

    I know that now, thanks to you all! However, I don’t want to edit my save files. I’ve had decent luck obtaining seed packet plants through the shop, and Peashooter hasn’t been significant enough in the run for me to want to edit the files.

    • I noticed you have [premium plant], aren’t they premium?

    Just for the sake of completion (and for the expansion levels), I’m trying to obtain as many PvZ1 premium/seediums plants as possible! Just because I have them doesn’t mean they’re “legal” for this challenge, I just want to collect them. If I ever use them, make sure to understand the context of to why I’m using them (which would be addressed or implied in the video when I used them (aka., the Four Tier system). 🙂

    I’ll update this with more questions and answers as I find more or come up with more. I appreciate any and all suggestions, but I’d rather you all have official answers before the next part!

  3. Quick tip for wild west day 35 use spikeweed's plant food to stun zomboss so that gargs can damage him more also if a chicken bites a hypno shroom hypno shroom doesnt actually die instead it hypnotizes the chicken without dying

  17. 7:32 how many times do I have to say it? MGP is LITERALLY Gatling Pea! They function near identically, they both cost 250 sun (granted, MGP only costs 250 at levels 7-9) and even the almanac entry implies that they are the same plant, I’m pretty sure the only reason why “Mega” is in his name is because Gatling Pea is already in 2C

  30. Fun fact!!!!!!! They somewhat recently lowered the amount of gems won by these quests from 80… to 25 🙂 so you could’ve recorded this later and beat Wild West day 35 for 25 whole gems!!!!!!! Popcap is so generous!!!!!!!!

    Also this video is really good, literally no idea how you beat Wild West day 35 without boosts or levels, AND without pvz2 plants. It took me boosting my entire zen garden and leveling up my plants… to die on phase 3 🙂

  45. if you count it, technically dandelion counts as a pvz 1 plant as he appears in a Chinese version of pvz 1, but at the same time, there are others that appear in that chinese pvz 1 version (like laser BEAN, snap dragon, ghost pepper, and maybe others…?). also a small detail that I like is how at the beginning of the vid your background was day, then at the end its night, I like that detail!
