Namenloser1990 Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 oh and if someone maybe wants to add this to the guide, i think that could help a lot of people. I dont know if so many people look into these threads here. I would definetly appreciate that, because it was quite an effort to gather and write down all these information, tips and tricks. Maybe it would need to be reworked a bit by someone with better english skills:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does it do, and how to perform it? Your 37 hours seems quite short compared to the guide stating 90 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be easier if the terminology was the same, instead of using a new name each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 37 hours seems quite short compared to the guide stating 90 hours. It personally took me 73 hours. I used the Shrine glitch, but that was only when I found out about halfway to all characters to maximum level. Using the Shrine glitch definitely makes sense to take that long. But not using the glitch, I can't see how it'd be less than 150-200 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your 37 hours seems quite short compared to the guide stating 90 hours. The 37h also includes me hosting the glitch so I would say about 30h altogether, much shorter than the guide states using the glitch.

Popular Post MrTulike Posted November 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) So I am working on getting the 20 characters to Master and here is the strategy that I found to be the most efficient: SOLO Zombies Split-screen AFK in the dancing hall. To stay AFK and even turn off the controllers, open the credits with the second controller (main account) while the dummy account stays in the dancing hall floating as the 80's Action Hero. Do this for all zombies until at least Elite or Super Elite (not worth doing the Text-to-Speech glitch for characters under Elite due to how long it takes to promote them) (gives approx 30k xp per hour, so just do this if you are not actively playing the game). Plants Split-screen sewer bounty (15 Yetis). Have a dummy account that can also activate the bounty by paying the 75 tacos. This makes the activity almost self-sustainable, since all the tacos that you collect will go to both accounts, making you lose less than 10 tacos per run. Same as zombies, do this until the plants that you want to level up to at least Elite before moving on (It gives approx 160k xp per hour, so it is way faster than AFK zombies but requires attention). MULTIPLAYER Both This is where it goes from 1 to 100 fast. Use the Text-to-Speech glitch on the Gnome boss from the three crystal gnomes [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kcnwH3YAqw]. This only works when you are in multiplayer with at least another player. There are two ways that this method can be done faster, depending on your platform: PS4 Use the second screen app to paste the Wwww... when you open the TTS prompt and send AFTER the first loading finishes. Sending before or during the loading can bug the game in other ways that gets you stuck in place. PS5 On Giddy Park, open TTS and write all the Wwww... until you can't input anymore. After you are done, instead of sending, go to the "..." on the TTS keyboard, select all and copy. When you are entering the Gnome boss, instead of having to hold the W key, just go to the "..." on the bottom of the keyboard, paste and send (only send after the initial loading and before the Gnome introduction. Doing it on any other time can mess the game in other unpredictable ways). BONUS If you are not interested on Promoting the characters but want to get all the rewards from the monthly board (bulbs), you can get 50 bulbs very fast using the MULTIPLAYER method, just remember to use them before redoing the glitch due to the 50 bulb cap.

True, I don't know why many players keep saying there's no more way to get exp anymore, the glitch is still working, there're a lot of videos telling how to do it, you can even find it on the guide here on PSN Profiles...

Not sure if this question has been asked before already: Say I try this method and leave my PS on while I'm at work. Will I still get exp. after reaching level 10 or do you HAVE to promote that character in order to keep earning exp? Cause then I'll have to check my PS every 2 hours or so and promote every individual character before they can get more exp. which isn't ideal. This is one of those trophies I hate to get. PvZ isn't a horrible game but whoever made that trophy can seriously eat the disc.... Edited December 1, 2021 by its_ArchroniX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, when you reach level 10 you don't get anymore exp for your character, so you will have to promote it to continue getting exp. I think you get the bulbs though, but the bulbs are irrelevant for the trophies. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HedleyNEUK Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 On 04/10/2021 at 10:55 PM, Namenloser1990 said: Ok, after some reading and testing i wanted to write this down for everyone to understand it better how the glitch works and how it is best to be used. if done right and having a second console at hand lets you solo this and skip the boss fight entierly. What you need: 1. Your main Account which is going to need all the level ups for the trophy. The console your playing the main on should be set to english for the text to speech accessibility option to appear. 2. A second console with a 2nd psn account and a 2nd ea account. No ps plus requiered on this account. You will need to have the 3 diamond gnomes on this account, because with this one you will have to start the boss fight activity. 3. Enable the text to speech option for the main account 4. With the 2nd account host the game, join in with your main account and start the activity. When the loading cutscene starts press r3 with the main account and spam "w" until the end. Send this message. When shooting with the main account your ammunition shouldnt go down which means the glitch is active and working. 5. Now abandon the activity with the 2nd account (the glitch shouldnt be active on this account, thats why you can enter the menu and everything) 6. now both characters should be standing outside, but the main should still have the glitch active and you should be able to spam open the chest outside with square. 7. You have to listen for the level up sound to appear 10 times to know you are ready to rank up your character 8. quit the game from xmb with the main. restart, rank up your character and join the 2nd account again. From here it is rinse and repeat for all 20 characters needed to be ranked up. Note: this whole process can of course be done with a 2nd real person, but it wont be sole more of course and it will take longer because most likely the person wants to do the leveling as well so you would need to do all of this the other way around after (or you both just do the glitch at the same time but then you would need to fight the boss every time). I didnt test it out but this should also work with 2-3 real person and a dummy account on a spare console. So the dummy account has the 3 diamond gnomes and hosts the figth every time, and all the players wanting to level join in, activate the glitch. Dummy account abandons and all 2-3 players should still have the glitch activated. After that all quit, rank up join back in, dummy starts again and so on. And yes, it works on both ps4 and ps5, as well as between both of them. I hope this helps to tackle this awful trophy EDIT: Im almost done and can say with this tactic you can cut down the grind to about 10 hours. Regarding the diamoand gnomes: when creating a new account you also have to collect all 3 of them for town center again. Normally you would need to have the mindblower to access 2 out of the 3. If you already have the mindblower with you main account, you can just join your 2nd account, activate the mindblower and destroy the zombie guards and then your able to get to the gnomes with your 2nd account. Also, you only have to collect the gnomes ones for town center, so you also have them for the zombies then (this whole glitch works just the same with zombies) Last thing i wanted to share: you dont need to switch between your two consoles all the time. You only need to open the session with you 2nd account and position yourself at the door to start the boss fight. after that you can play with your main account without switching back. to start the activity you join with your main to your 2nd and hold square on your 2nd controller. to abandon the activity press options - down - x - x. when both characters stand outside the door you can position your 2nd account through the camera of your main account ^^^ This needs bumped, and highlighted for those just joining the thread like me Ive the a handful of normal trophies to get before starting this with my second console/acct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
