Just to clear up a little bit of confusion- In this video I tried to beat the game with one seed slot. I will be making a sequel video in the future where I play every level in the game that I skipped in this one (so, for Pirate Seas, in the next video I will pick up from where I left off after day 8 and play the rest of the levels to see which ones are possible). I feel like if I skip the levels that are impossible, there will be many more levels that are possible that I didn't get to play in this 'run'. Also, I have made a playlist on the channel that will feature unedited footage of some of the more notable/difficult levels of the challenge. UPDATE - I beat Pirate Seas Day 8 and A LOT of levels after. I'm excited to show you the next video :D

[@danal..8831]

For the Pirate Seas level couldn't you out 3 snapdragons in the back middle 3 lanes, and then have the other 3 in front of it? That would still cover the outermost layers and do more damage in the middle?

[@dabest8777]

Could you not have gone back to earlier worlds with plants you unlocked in later worlds to try and get more plants and/or maybe beat the world? I know sometimes you were stopped by a conveyer belt level but still you could maybe have gotten a few more plants to make it a few levels further

[@NicknameThe1st]

I think that might hurt the integrity of the challenge slightly if not a little more but it does sound like a possible idea to push the challenge a little further.

Your video production is so well done that I actually was surprised I wasn't following you already, before finding out that I never watched any of your videos before. It was the strangest thing. The video just filled my soul with so many warm feelings of nostalgia, that my brain went "Oh Yes, my good friend [Koala Avatar], it's been quite some time!" That's a great quality to have, I think! Loving the cozy feel of videos like this. You've earned this sub fair and square, and I can't wait to see part 2!

[@XDturtleXD]

I always thought that using only one seed slot in conveyor belt level means you can only use whatever plant you've got on the very top. Maybe that'll make the challenge easier?

[@justafurrywithinternet317]

That would make the challenge barely different from the base game.

[@esotericvv1244]

@@justafurrywithinternet317 I don't like you

[@_emstar]

@@justafurrywithinternet317 honestly it wouldnt be too out there to skip conveyor belt levels entirely as they kind of go against the idea of the challenge

[@kemosonicfan123lbp]

That’s literally already the meta for the PvZ 2 conveyor levels. The conveyor belt levels in pvz2 slow down the conveyor dramatically if even a single seed is not already planted, so beating them relies on planting things immediately

[@andres.5204]

@@kemosonicfan123lbp you could plant them and then dig them up immediately

[@_emstar]

If the challenge ends up being impossible (which it most likely will tbh) i would be interested in seeing how much farther you can go if you dont do the challenge for levels that force you into using specific plants. Probably not that much farther, but you never know.

[@thenextguest3230]

100% yes it is impossible especially when i believe cactus chomps and grapeshot gem plants/pay plants which makes those convayer levels impossible since i believe one didnt give another offensive plant.

[@summation23]

Love these types of videos. I've been binge watching your videos recently and I absolutely enjoy it. Keep up the good work dude and thanks for the videos ^ ^

[@shurshiic]

You can theoretically beat the pirate level. You need to put snap dragons in a closed square bracket ]. With that, you will have much more damage in every lane

[@artificialallium]

But that requires 7

Pvz youtubers complaining that playing a game in a way that it was never designed to be played in is impossible:

[@chillfrosted2670]

and thats why shyguymask's 2 seed slot pvz challenge video was good. it didnt have to put goofy restrictions or nerfs because scenarios like produce x amount of sun to complete. you skip all of them it ruins the challenge. and a challenge is deemed impossible or possible. not being a coward and skipping them

[@660nj]

mfw the Exca is eating the Puff-shroom at 11:18 also, dynamic difficulty would make this a lot easier considering you can abuse it to spawn significantly less zombies, but idk what platform you play on. great video regardless

[@koalapvz]

Thanks bro. I'm on pc, I never thought about the dynamic difficulty that's a good point.

[@randomuser.5356]

If you place a plant on a tile where the shovel hitbox is in front of it but the Excavator itself is in the tile, the Excavator will eat it.

[@paul_particularlyunhappynut]

@@randomuser.5356 fun fact, it can even eat spikeweed if you place it just right lol

Unfortunately, the Almanac glitch no longer works. They replaced the "show on map" button with "find more," which just tells you where you unlock it.

[@bamhurger.]

yea

[@ccth3gg]

8:55 Great slideshow! I LOVED it!

[@lampionmancz]

9:20 The level is actually beatable with one send slot it's just extremely insane. You have to spam spikeweed on the top lane and use plant food to drag the zombies away from the lawnmower and when all of the last flag zombies are on the top lane, just let the lawnmower take them out.

[@quackquack881]

I beat the level by using hurricale stacking all the zombies together and have the lawn mower deal with them. But the timing is pretty tight since the zombies have to be a footstep away from the lawnmower so it doesn’t go off and you have time to get another hurricane

[@lampionmancz]

@Quack Quack Yeah that's also possible, he did it in the second part.

[@Arisxgon]

I can’t beat it with all the seed slots

[@whoreallyisjoe2542]

For far future day 8, you should use Citron instead of laser bean, simply because he does more damage. Yes, I know he shoots slow but it could work.

[@cubercuberc8238]

for frosbite caves day 3 I think the game always give 2 hurricale to the player so you could try to use it to stall all zombies in the first row until last wave, and let the mower go

[@liber2350]

Hurricala doesn’t do damage which means the waves won’t progress until like an hour

[@RGC_animation]

After you learned how many levels can be beaten with only one seed slot at level 1, you should allow leveling (and maybe hack the game) to see if the impossible levels are truly as impossible as they seem.

[@nataliar.5902]

Well high Level plants are basically unfairly op and will basically make every Level possible because he mentioned the guy beating the game one seed slot had like op leveled plants so it will make the Video idea kinda useless but would've been a nice idea.

fun fact: in older versions of the game it was possible to unlock different worlds glitchless I have an account somewhere that still has all the worlds unlocked with like 2 of them being actually beaten so you could theoretically downpatch to achieve the same result

Hey btw for level 3 in frostbite you can actually beat it using only hurikale by gatheeing all zombies in one lane and activate the lawn mower

[@CatmanPiano]

I'd also found out that PopCap should also fix the adventure mode: Design changes -Play Pirate Seas Day 3 Minigame should give you coins -Do not force players to upgrade their plants or force them to buy seed packs -Plants there should not be unlocked with seed packs (because that feels like cheating!) World keys system -Complete Ancient Egypt day 6 will give you a world key -Complete Ancient Egypt day 25 will unlock all the worlds

[@vincal13]

I'm a little confused. In this video, you had to use a glitch to get to different worlds because you didn't have their keys yet, but when I played, I unlocked *all* the world keys at level six of Ancient Egypt. Is this normal?

[@chiuowen2578]

You must've played an old version. In modern PvZ2 you need to play the worlds in order, getting the key for the next world after beating each world's zomboss battle. Back in the day (I think from around 2016 - 2020) you would get all world keys after beating AE day 6.

Did you try digging up and replacing the snapdragons on the pirate level after they took some damage from the seagulls? Digging up would not only fill up the reservations for 1 more snapdragon, but with the highest spawn probability, I doubt it would require much luck to quickly replace it with a new, healthy snapdragon.

7:10 just put the dragons in this combination "<

[@flameofthephoenix8395]

1:10 That's a really good way to avoid making conveyor belts impossible, just apply whatever restriction only to seed slots, then conveyor levels work and so do pre-planted levels.
