Lost City - Day 1 is the first level of Lost City in Plants vs. Zombies 2. There are six Gold Tiles in this level, three in the first column and three in the second. Additionally, this is the first level the player encounters them. When this level is finished for the first time, the player unlocks the Red Stinger.

Dialogue

Crazy Dave: Woah! Welcome to the jungle!
Penny: User Dave, this is no ordinary jungle. A scan of my records indicates that this is the fabled Lost City. Historical texts state that the Sun was worshipped here. Resources should be plentiful. I suggest that we try planting on the Gold Tiles that we find here. They should continuously generate sun as long as they have plants on them.
Crazy Dave: Lost City? This is it Penny! We've found it! Where else would I find my lost taco, except in a Lost City?
Penny: Your continued fixation defies all logic or reason, User Dave.

Difficulty

As this is the first level of the world, it has an easy difficulty. Additionally, no new zombies are introduced apart from the basic variants. To make the level even easier are the Gold Tiles, which boost the players economy status by providing free sun.
Still, the player should be prepared for the large amount of zombies in the last wave. The high number of Conehead Adventurer Zombies and Buckethead Adventurer Zombies can also cause problems unless the player uses area-of-effect plants.

Waves

The small number next to the zombie icon means that zombie will always appear in that lane, with 1 being the topmost lane and 5 being the bottommost one.

Strategies

There are a lot of strategies since this is only the first level. Other players may not think of this, but the player can use the only the Gold Tiles only for sun production, and then the tiles surrounding the Gold Tiles can be used for dealing damage to the zombies.

Impee's strategy

Required plants:
- or or
- or or or or or or or or

Start by placing Sunflowers on the Gold Tiles. When the first zombies come, place a Snapdragon on the fourth column to the Player's House in the middle row. Then, place Sunflowers on the rest of the Gold Tiles. Quickly, start placing Snapdragons to fill up the column. Once done, place the other plants in the setup underneath.

S = Sunflower

F = the plant you are using to fire things

M = Magnet-shroom

Sn = Snapdragon

W = Wall-nut

Sp = Spikerock

Strategy 2

Note: this strategy does not use sun-producing plants because of the gold tiles.

Required plants:

In the beginning, place a Kernel-pult on any of the Gold Tiles. Then put a Potato Mine to take out the two zombies. Finish your row of Kernel-pults on the first column. After that, plant Primal Peashooters on the second column. When you have finished the second column, keep on planting Primal Peashooters on the third and fourth column. Finally, plant a column of Wall-nuts on the fifth column.
