Beating Plants Vs. Zombies 2 WITH ONLY Plants Vs. Zombies 1 Plants [Part 2] 

Just for the sake of clarity, here’s the pinned comment from part 1 answering any FAQs regarding the series! • Why are you using plant food if PvZ1 doesn’t have plant food? I didn’t think about this going into the challenge, but I’ll be sticking to using plant food due to how PvZ2 is designed around this mechanic. • Why won’t you use premiums from the first game in this challenge? The main reason I’m not using premiums is just to have strategies for this challenge be more accessible to everyone. *There are exceptions to this rule, I can use them if the game picks them for me to use.* But I’m limiting myself as much as possible in order to make this challenge as fun and “freemium” as possible! *Also gem plants and one seed packet plant are exceptions to this rule.* • Can’t you use [insert plant here], they were in PvZ1 China? And what about [PvZ2 plants that function the same as a PvZ1 plant that isn’t in the game]? The way I see it, *plants such as Bonk Choy were designed as PvZ2 plants first, and were added to PvZ1 China later, so I’m not counting them as PvZ1 plants.* Iceberg Lettuce, while possibly based off of a scrapped PvZ1 plant, was also redesigned as a PvZ2 plant. As for plants like Gloom Vine, or PvZ2 plants that have a plant food which acts like a plant from PvZ1 like Ice-shroom and Doom-shroom, I won’t count for the challenge either. A PvZ2 plant is a PvZ2 plant. • Hey, did you know that you can change Peashooter back to level 1/obtain seed packet plants by editing the game’s files? I know that now, thanks to you all! However, I don’t want to edit my save files. I’ve had decent luck obtaining seed packet plants through the shop, and Peashooter hasn’t been significant enough in the run for me to want to edit the files. • I noticed you have [premium plant], aren’t they premium? Just for the sake of completion (or for a later challenge in the future), I’m trying to obtain as many PvZ1 premium/seediums plants as possible! Just because I have them doesn’t mean they’re “legal” for this challenge, I just want to collect them. If I ever use them, make sure to understand the context of to why I’m using them (which would be addressed or implied in the video when I used them). :) I’ll update this with more questions and answers as I find more or come up with more. I appreciate any and all suggestions, but I’d rather you all have official answers before the next part!

The worst part is the only 3 Pvz1 plants remaining to obtain are: Garlic, Tangle kelp and Lily pad

Love how torchwood went from being pretty crap and costing actual money, to costing gems on ocassion to being pretty much a free seedium plant that was buffed to pure ascension, powering pea plants, dealing melee and being a discount jalapeno.

"Thank you for 4,000 subscribers" *chilling with 55,000 subscribers* (it's over 9000!!!!) (It's great to see the Alex reaching a milestone) (CONGRATS WITH 50K WOOOOOOO) [Will stop this when Alex reaches 100k subs]

A 30 minute sequel to a great PVZ2 challenge is great and all but the random as hell quiz show sound is what makes this video good

At the end of this challenge, you should put some tables together to show how much of each world was possible under the challenge, maybe even color coding for levels that were possible, but only with premiums/powerups, and stuff like that. Really enjoying watching it!

Good luck in Neon Mixtape Tour! As someone who beat PvZ 2 in mostly 2-4 weeks around Halloween - November (I did like Frost bite caves to the end because I already was finally fully playing PvZ 2 earlier in time) Neon Mixtape Tour is the hardest due to just pure speed and the annoying zombies. I mean, Big Wave Beach is basically cheesed with Ghost Pepper and Rotobaga (I love Ghost Pepper btw), but that just means it's probably gonna be brutal for you tho. Also in terms of Torchwood owners vs non-owners add me to the group who has Torchwood because of the November log in bonus. Also it's possible to get plants like Magnet shrooms early because of the seed packet mechanic, so if you need to, technically there is an option to get a plant early.

This was worth the wait :) It really takes a while to make a video like this, especially when it’s 34 minutes long. Good job mate, take your time and we can’t wait to see more :)

As one who loves the little world intro bits, I very much enjoyed the Back to the Future Part III reference to introduce Dark Ages. Thank you for gracing us with your charming video series Mr. RU-vidr sir 😭

your soothing voice, choice of music, and explanation of what's happening on screen makes this a perfect video for me to watch while eating!

Frostbite Caves Day 23 (the one with the endangered Chard Guards) is possible, as it turns out. You just need to use Cabbage-Pult’s plant food before the Chard Guards have time to knock back the zombies, similar to Pirate Seas day 24. It is complicated for the first snowstorm though, since the plant food appears at the exact same wave as the storm (always in the bottom row). The key is to use a Hypno-Shroom on the zombie with plant food (with plants like Cherry Bomb the burn animation takes too long. Some other instants would probably still work, but Hypno works the best.). Then, immediately use plant food on Cabbage-Pult. Problem solved! Other then that and the other Cabbage-Pult plant foods, play the level like normal! Just like that, the level is possible! Also absolutely amazing video! I loved the presentation! Keep up the great work! (Sorry for the long comment by the way)

Who remembers when he said “yeah victory potat- wtf” because it was just bouncing around

Congrats on the 6K! Your first video was a great watch and I'm very happy to see the pvz community welcoming you with such warmth. Can't wait to see more of your content in the future since it's clear you have a lot of passion for these videos!

27:15 I see you with the eye timing. The genuine laughter from laughing from the fake laugh.

I love plants having a niche in certain worlds! Never occurred to me that split pea would be good in Frostbite Caves

Damn ur channel is such a breath of fresh air for me. Your content is rlly creative imo, not to mention in-depth.

Haven't watched the video yet, and I am enjoying these episodes, and the chill commentary is awesome, along with the jokes. Absolutely awesome, keep it up Edit : this video proves it even more that frozen winds gimmicks are annoying, your only strategy is *fire plants*, also gotta say, they made cabbage pult get outclassed by adding busted lobbing plants like dusklobber, like..., made chomper like the worst plant compared to a free plant like bonk choy and snap dragon, made snow pea worse than other pea plants and then buffed the hell out of a already decent plant in the og pvz by making it a wall nut, a type of damage boosting plant, a jalapeño upon death, and a spikeweed in one plant.

20:18 FUTURE! FUTURE!

27:50 calling cabbage pult at 3 AM??! Great video, dude! Love the challenge, I knew Frostbite Caves would be hard. But I was NOT expecting Lost City to be hard, since the gimmick helps you! Anyways, keep it up! I would do my own challenge run, but I level my plants... Hmmm...

So I recently found your channel. I just wanna say that it was genuinely a blast to watch you so far, you made watching an hour of pvz content somehow really entertaining! I'll definitely be sticking around, your videos are awesome my guy :)

Great video! It'd be cool to go back to the earlier levels with the plants you unlocked at the end and see which ones are possible in an epilogue-type video. Good luck on Neon Mixtape Tour!

This video was whort the wait! Amazing edit and commentary can t wait for part 3

Torchwood story arc goes hard

Incredible content as always, this is why you are the one true Alex

And to continue the streak of cool things happening to me today. Great video as always, man!

This video felt like it would never come but the execution was amazing hope part 3 comes out soon

6:37 I wasn’t expecting stewie griffin

yooo its here! im very glad you made a part two!

your still underrated, your such a cool youtuber and I love your videos, keep up the great work dude!

It has always been hard to find quality pvz content, but now that I have subscribed... It is easier than ever

I started watching your video last night and you were at 6k, obviously more than 4k lmao- but I came back this morning to finish it and somehow you jumped up to 7k- congrats dude!!

Finally! Been waiting for your videos. And it never disappoint man! My game also restarted now Im restarting the whole game over.

hot tip - in the upcoming jurassic marsh. the seemingly-useless-in-this-game garlic can be used in the first column to divert zombies away from lanes with dangerous dinosaurs like ankylosaurs or pterodactyls. with the only zombies in this world capable of one-shotting them being gargs (also rock punchers but they only appear in the expansion levels). you can use them to filter zombies into lanes where defending is more manageable and they dont run the risk of being thrown halfway up the lawn and into your carefully-crafted defense. spikeweed plant food may help in dragging stray zombies back to the start too. and remember. this world is messy to a point where symmetry is barely feasible or practical. so dont be picky with how your lawn looks edit - oh! just got another thats probably more important. quickly use puff-shrooms to act as meat shields for hair metal garg shockwaves. using cheap quick-recharge plants like sunflowers may be a good alternative too

"9/11 introduces wizard zombies" dawg i did not know wizards died in 9/11

Once me and my bestie in pvz 1 I forgot sunshroom at the night level so we had to fill the screen with puff-shroom

Waiting for this for long, very nice video, I subbed.

shoutout to peanut for being the only pvz2 plant to be used in this challenge

13:38 oh my god i hate how this theme song is nostalgic to me. im not sure how many people watched this show when they were younger but i feel like its an embarrassingly low amount

Good for you, I hope your channel keep growing

18:37 it was at this moment that Alex realized that maybe sunflowers aren’t as innocent as they seem

19:53 awkward laugh

24:43 thats why dr zomboss's health is ultra undying instead of undying

5:05 YOO, TIDAL TEMPEST PAST WAS TOO ACCURATE AND GREAT CONDITION FOR THIS PART OF VIDEO, fire

6.3k congrats!! ❤❤subscribers right now congrats also i just found out your channel like a month ago i came from your part 1 challenge video and i find this channel pretty interesting it's an interesting challenge ive been wating for this honestly the video is 34:16 aswell

Honestly, I love to see the premium plants in action to this challange Either way...This might be one of my fav pvz challanges to see

Awesome video! Didn't realize that this is part 2 because of the very similar thumbnail to part 1

Oh wow congratulations on 6’000 subscribers!

I was waiting for this for a bit, thx

10:30 THE FIRE PEAS OF E!

YESSS THE PART 2 WE ALWAYS WANTED

2:38 They do. If you look at the 3 frozen bonk choys, there are cabbages targeting them too. They didn’t target the plants behind him because the cone head was directly on top of it and tanked all the other cabbages.

Cactus: "he left me again... he DOES THIS EVERY YEAR"

Sorry for being weird, but damn high voices are so good i can't get over it and the artwork has a good style that makes it somewhat stand out from all the other youtubers doing the drawn avatar thing

2:29 HOLY SHIT RHYTHM HEAVEN MUSIC

beat pvz2 but every plants that died (in any way, digging doesn't count as killing the plant) on the next stage and to the end of the game you will not be allowed to use them, basiclly pvz2 hardcore. example : if your peashooter is killed in stage 1, on stage 2 and so on you can't use it. would be cool if you play this challenge.

This RU-vidr is too underrated, you deserve more subs. Btw Thx for buying me:D

worth the wait, amazing video man! keep up the work.

You see, this guy in like 5 or 3 years is gonna make some high quality animations

I had been looking forward tis episode because it was so challenging :))

YOOOOOO I’ve been waiting for this! 😄👌

Wow, Melon Pult's plant food ability is OP! You're basically just carpet bombing the entire lawn. And Winter Melon's plant food is even better

These kinds of videos are so addicting to watch

Yo I have Ben waiting so long for this. Thank you.

i just loved ur commentary nice video :)

I’m suprised you havent talked in depth about winter melon yet, seeing as it’s one of the most powerful plants in the game

28:42 The Cannons Away levels in Pirate Seas also has unique game over text saying “Penny is not impressed with your score!”

im glad you highlighted the squash doing the no-leg equivalent of moonwalking on the excavator zombie. style points, i guess? love the vids

Holy crap, you got 7k subs quickly. Congrats!

the long awaited sequel is finally here :)

25:07 I love the Back to the future reference. (I think)

Aah the next few worlds where the only ones that ain’t world exclusive is garlic

I know I’m 9 months late but I love this keep making videos and stay positive u might be my new favorite youtuber!

I love this series

Hope this video blows up like the last one it’s really good

tbh the interaction between imp porter and the spikeweed, absolutely insane starts, gamebreakling, nerf the spikeweed

we are proud of you congrats :)

I don’t know why, but I love the first games art style more than the second lol

just as entertaining as part 1

this is an official woot moment

Glad you make this content

5:19. You thought I wouldn't notice Tidal Tempest Past. Nice one.

Lost city day 13 is 100% possible with good rng

Almost completely unrelated to the challenge of this video, can you beat PvZ 2 at PvZ 1's pace? Like in Egypt you get the plants from the first world of PvZ 1, one every new level. In Pirate Seas, from the second world and so on. Could be interesting

thank you mr youtuber man 👍👍👍very cool🔥🔥

keep up the good work 🤠

Looking good mans

I am gonna feel your pain when you get to these final worlds. Good luck especially without Thyme Warp

To be honest this was definetly worth the wait as I know how long these videos take to make . Thanks for all the hard work you put into these videos :D

Good PvZ content-creators are rare, Great ones are exceptional. And you, my friend, aim to become one of the latter.

Ah yes, ice cap on an ice level. Love to see it.

One of the only pvz RU-vidrs to not skip zomboss/gimmick levels

This is the greatest content, post more pvz videos.

9:46 subtitles
