Es-Garg-ot despawns when rolling into Tangle Kelp

Greetings, good developers at Popcap! I'll cut to the chase here for the sake of brevity, so do forgive my impoliteness!

During my playthrough of Camp Expedition Chapter 1, Level 5, the game rolled a map where the last few columns on the right side of the map were covered by Water Tiles. (See Attachment 1) When Es-Garg-ot spawned, it spawned on the First and Second Lane

When it tried to perform its rolling attack, I planted a Tangle Kelp in FRONT of it, outside of said Tangle Kelp's range, in order to stop its rolling. When Es-Garg-ot performed its rolling attack, however, it touched the Tangle Kelp I planted, and it just...... vanished.

Es-Garg-ot simply despawned. The Tangle Kelp wasn't triggered, nor was it destroyed. It simply remained there, while Es-Garg-ot despawned IMMEDIATELY upon contact with that Tangle Kelp. And since no other zombies were still on the lawn, I won the level.

The Tangle Kelp was planted on Fourth Column from the right, First Lane, in a Water Tile, if I remember correctly. Mayhaps the bug was triggered due to the fact that Tangle Kelp is a one-time plant, or maybe it's because Tangle Kelp becomes more powerful in water.

Regardless, I hope that this information may prove useful in making Plants vs. Zombies 3 Evolved into a better game, and I thank all of you at Popcap for your hard work!

Thank you for reading, and have a good day! :)

    Thanks for your report, we've been looking into this and unable to reliably reproduce it so far. If you have any mroe details that ay help please let us know!

     

    Are you able to see this issue occur everytime you fight es-garg-ot or or is it intermittent or only on specific levels with specific loadouts?

    Greetings, Mr./Ms. Wren, and terribly sorry for replying so late.

    Sadly, this issue occured only once up until now. I wasn't able to reliably reproduce it, either. The only thing I know is that it just happened when Es-Garg-ot rolled into a Tangle Kelp in a water tile. For me, it only happened on the layout as shown in the screenshot attached, (Again, please see Attachment 1) so terribly sorry for not being able to provide more information on this issue.

    Regardless, thank you for reaching out, Mr./Ms. Wren, and I thank you and all the good, talented developers at Popcap for making PvZ3 better and better! :)

    Mr./Ms. Wren, I now have more information as you required! The glitch happened again.

    It occured on Campground Expedition Chapter 1, Level 5 again, like last time. And just like last time, Es-Garg-ot vanished into thin air when it tried to roll into an Amphibious Plant, in this occurence's case, a Zapture.

    This time, Es-Garg-ot spawned on the First Lane of the layout as shown below:

    When Es-Garg-ot tried rolling into the Zapture on the First Lane, Sixth Column, it disappeared before it could even make contact with the Zapture in question.

    I am now convinced that the issue is related to Amphibious Plants, not just limited to Tangle Kelp, but all his Fusions. More specifically, it occurs when Es-Garg-ot trieds ramming into an Amphibious Plant on Water Tiles.

    Since this issue happened twice on Camp Expedition Chapter 1, Level 5, in my opinion, it could be the ideal level to recreate this glitch.

    Thanks for reading, and have a fantastic day, Mr./Ms. Wren! :D
