Jurassic Marsh - Day 25 is the twenty-fifth level of Jurassic Marsh in Plants vs. Zombies 2. The ankylosaurus is introduced in this level. After completing this level, the player receives a money bag.

Difficulty[]

  • This level is very hard because of the ankylosaurus. The ankylosaurus is arguably the toughest dinosaur, matching the power of the pterodactyl. The ankylosaurus acts like a stationary Mecha-Football Zombie, but also pushes zombies. What makes this powerful, however, is that it can push zombies to the second column to the house. Plants will be pushed back, and if the lane is full of plants, a plant will be knocked off stage. Blover will be very helpful in this level, thanks to the fact that the ankylosaurus pushes zombies into the air.
  • Do not plant expensive plants near the house in this level, or any other level with ankylosaurus, the ankylosaurus will likely push it off stage. Additionally, Red Stinger, if the player has it, is not recommended, as its powerful state requires to be put close to the house.
  • Cactus can be used to stop the zombies pushed by ankylosaurus.

Waves[]

Strategies[]

Strategy 1 (Contains premium content)[]

Created by RaidingParty

This strategy can beat the level without Plant Food or losing any lawn mowers.

The goal setup is two columns of Primal Sunflowers, a column of Primal Wall-nuts, and a column of Cacti a tile ahead of them.

Ignore both the T. Rex and the ankylosaurus at the beginning and instead build your Primal Sunflowers and especially the Cactus line. To deal with the ankylosaurus, plant a Primal Wall-nut at the first column and keep healing it as the ankylosaurus sends a zombie and a Jurassic Conehead over to it. Kill the zombie the T. Rex rushes with a Chili Bean and leave all other zombies (including the ankylosaurus) unharmed and trapped with Primal Wall-nuts. If you let time expire into the first huge wave, the first ankylosaurus will leave without launching anymore zombies.

Charm the second ankylosaurus that appears as soon as it does. For the rest of the ankylosaurus, until the Perfume-shroom recharges, you can stymie them by just dropping a Primal Wall-nut in the eight column and a Primal Potato Mine behind it. If Primal Wall-nut is recharging, use any other plant such as Chili Bean, Cactus, or even Primal Sunflower until it is ready. Use Chili Bean and other plants to pick off threats to them such as loose Jurassic Imps or pairs of armored zombies.

When the raptor trio appears at the end, charm one of them and blow up most of the other zombies with Cherry Bomb after they are kicked forward. Finish off the remaining zombies for the final wave.

Strategy 2[]

Required plants:

Using Celery Stalker is crucial in defending the bottom 2/3 lanes.

Plant Sun-Shroom in the first column of the top 4 lanes, and one in the second column of the first lane. Plant Celery Stalker in the third column of the bottom lane. Use the first plant food on a Sun Shroom. If necessary, plant a Primal Wall-nut in the first column of the bottom lane. Plant a Repeater in the top column with a Primal wall-nut in front of it. Plant another Repeater on the lane below it. Defending these two lanes should be up to them, and if necessary, a Primal potato mine. Plant a few Celery Stalkers in the third column of the bottom 3 lanes, and if the Sun Shrooms of these lanes get eaten, replace them with Primal wall-nuts. Sacrificing lawn movers is almost necessary while you build up your defences in the third and fourth lane. Replace Celery Stalkers as necessary. In the second and third flags, you may want to use Cherry bomb, or use it in dire situations, especially to defend lanes without lawn mowers, or use a plant food on a Repeater..

Strategy 3[]

Created by Telogor

This strategy can beat the level with no Lawnmowers, no purchased Plant Food, and no Powerups. Tested with level 2 plants.

Required plants:

Start by planting as many Sun Shrooms as possible in the upper left corner, up to an area of 4 rows by 3 columns. Stall all zombies before the first flag with Primal Wall Nuts (in rows 1, 3, and 5) until the Ankylosaurus in row 5 leaves. Leave a 1-tile gap between your Sun Shrooms and Primal Wall Nuts. Stallia helps preserve sun by slowing the damage to the Primal Wall Nut in row 5. Once the Ankylosaurus leaves, use Primal Potato Mine to blow up the zombies in row 5, and plant 1 Bonk Choy and Primal Wall Nut/Endurian in each row as far left as possible. As the first Huge Wave arrives, use Perfume Shroom to charm the Ankylosaurus in Row 4. From this point forward, the level is mostly about managing the chaos. Refresh your walls as necessary and use Plant Food on Bonk Choy if you need to clear out a tanky group of zombies. Use Perfume Shroom as necessary to counter dinosaurs (usually the Ankylosaurus). Spam Stallia to slow down groups of zombies, especially groups that are attacking Endurian.
