Almost forgot, I leveled up torchwood too. That might help in Jurassic quest. Ive failed the 2nd game 3 times. May have to start using power toss. ☹️



Please don't (ab)use me ☹️ Level 2 of the quest is one of the hardest. It took my six attempts to complete it with my level 1 profile without using any power-ups or boosted plants. You have to focus on planting Primal Peashooter ASAP and add Torchwood at a later stage of the game (when you have like 4-5 Primals in each column). Just FYI: The level becomes easy with a boosted Sunshroom in your Zengarden.

@PowerToss   by power-up I hope you mean spending coins to buy the 'finger of god' for either flicks, zaps or freeze the zombies and not the given plant foods.  I know a player who challenges himself by not using plant food with his level 1 plants and making the game very difficult.    Boosted plants from Zen garden make me lazy so I try to avoid using it.  it also make me feel I am cheating so robs a certain amount of game enjoyment.

@linuxPigPen   the last video link was a joke.  If you still have trouble with level 2, below is link to a video showing how to complete it with level 1 plants.   Hope this helps.

    Yep, I meant these power-ups. I'm on your side and consider the use of power-ups or boosted plants from Zen garden as cheating 😉 This is a tough challenge your are talking about. I'm pretty sure I've done it with the the 'normal' levels but I think some of the expansion levels are impossible without using plant food.

    @PowerToss What I don't like about Zen Garden is you lose gems for using them. Being charged for using them gives incentive not to.

    Why do you lose gems? You can just let the timer run out. No need to speed up the growing of plants by using gems.

    @PowerToss PVZ charges for using boosted plants in Inzanity. You may not have noticed you were charged. But any plant you use that has that boost glow to it will cost you gems. They're sneaky. They don't warn you. They just deduct the gemd from your account. Anywhere between 6 - 15 of them depending on the plant.

    Q:How difficult is it to play in Jade League?

    A:Not so difficult.  I was at position 12 last night and now 1st👿

  • @linuxPigPen Are you sure you are charged gems when you boost the plant in your zen garden and then subsequently used it in the level? Because i have done that for the extra hard jurassic marsh and also as a fact, i kept a very close eye on my gems and I know i was never charge gems for boosting the plants in the garden. o.o maybe there is a glitch somewhere...

    @Perfume-shroom92yes you get charged. Look at the plant selector when you are selecting plants. There is an option to boost that plant for x amount of gems. If plant is already boosted by Zen Garden, plant will have a light halo. And you will be charged however many gems the boost for that plant already is. Not when you're playing normal levels but when you're playing for reward. If you want to use plant in Inzanity or for a reward challenge then burn off the boost by using plant in s normal level. I lost 50 gems before I caught on.

  • @linuxPigPen Hmmm.....then i don't think I ever have that experience then. Because i have only played it for normal levels. I did play the extra hard jurassic ones once with boosted sun shroom and definitely wasn't charged because i would have noticed.

    @eieio_31310Ok you have shamed me. I'm only at 960 something. I shall get off my posterior and rectify that immediately. 😛

  • @linuxPigPen I never use it in inzanity...if i see a level i don't like or don't think i will survive, i just quit and then re-enter again. The level will have changed XD
