Enlightened
Enlightened is an unlockable achievement on iOS, PlayStation Vita, and Android versions of Plants vs. Zombies. In order to unlock it, the player must obtain every Zen Garden plant.
Strategies
This achievement is hard and very luck-based, as you need to collect all 39 plants in the Zen Garden (excluding the Flower Pot, Imitater, and Upgrade plants), plants dropped by zombies are rare. Try to repeat Adventure Mode as much as you can.
You can also buy mystery sprouts from Crazy Dave's shop, preferably the ones that cost the most, as they have the highest chance of getting a plant you don't have yet.
Tips
- Play levels with a high zombie density, so that chances are more presents can be dropped. For levels that commonly spawn plants, see Zen Garden.
- Keep ten chocolates, so that zombies cannot drop chocolate.
- Playing Survival: Endless, I, Zombie Endless, and Dr. Zomboss's Revenge will drop every kind of present you need for this achievement.
- Every ten levels of Vasebreaker Endless and every three levels of I, Zombie Endless will drop a money bag, chocolate, or present. Having 10x chocolate will also lessen the chance of chocolate dropping from these.
- In the iOS version, you can try to get as many coins as you can, then buy all the bonus coins in the "Get more coins" section. Make sure to have at least three GameCenter accounts, then restore all the bonus coins and buy them again. You may then have enough coins to buy a lot of Gold Mystery Sprouts, and you can get this achievement easily.
- On iOS, you can coin hack to get a lot of Gold Mystery Sprouts.
- To find out more ways to get Zen Garden plants, see Present.
