Epic Quest: Explode-O-Vine! is an Epic Quest that features 5 levels for Explode-o-Vine. It lasted from August 31, 2020 to October 12, 2020 and May 10, 2021 to May 19, 2021. The reward is a Premium Piñata that contains 50 Seed packets, each 10 seed packets belonging to a world/premium plant (before 2021 it was 50 seed packets for Explode-o-Vine). 

Step 1

In this level, the player is giving Bonk Choy, Fume-shroom, and Explode-o-Vine. Most of these zombies can easily be tackled by simply planting Explode-o-Vine, as planted, they can kill most zombies. However; Barrel Roller Zombie Pianist Zombie, All-Star Zombie crushing abilities, can easily trigger Explode-o-vine to explode, once in reach of them. Just keep in mind Imps summoned from Barrels, can spawn after after explosions, its best to get rid of them with Bonk Choy or Fume-shroom. Chicken Wrangler Zombies are also not a problem, as Bonk Choy and Fume-shroom can easily get rid of summoned Zombie Chickens.

Step 2

In this level, the player is given Kernel-pult, Chomper, Explode-o-Vine, and the player having to protect two endangered Electric Blueberries. With the zombies in this level being from Lost City, the main threats are Lost Pilot Zombie, Bug Zombie, and Relic Hunter Zombie as they can land on the tile (or drop a zombie respectively) where Electric Blueberry is, and thus eating her. It is suggested to plant Chompers behind her, to easily eat these dangerous zombies. Excavator Zombie is also a big issue, as they can throw the Electric Blueberries farther from the lawn and allowing more zombies to eat them, Explode-o-vine can also be thrown out of the lawn by Excavator Zombie, making it useless, however planting Explode-o-vine will cause an explosion that will defeat Excavator Zombies. Explode-O-Vine can also clear out groups of zombies, which help avoids zombies overwhelming Kernel-pult and Chomper. Gargantuars can easily be destroyed by at least 2 Explode-O-Vines, and they can easily explode again once crushed by Gargantuars, while Imps can simply be eaten up by Chomper. Use Plant Food on Kernel-pult, to slow down zombies.

Step 3

In this Locked and Loaded level, the player is giving Primal Sunflower, Puff-shroom, Repeater, Potato Mine, and Explode-o-Vine. This level overall should be easily with constant flow of sun productions of Primal Sunflower. To avoid, draining your sun fast in the beginning, plant Puff-Shrooms to damage zombies health. Plant them far from where the zombies spawn, to stall zombies and gain more sun. Once you have plenty of sun, start planting Repeaters to deal damage to damage and defeat Conehead Zombie and Buckethead Zombies. However, the main threats are being: Surfer Zombie, Newspaper Zombie, and Gargantuars, as they can easily tear through your defense. Surfer Zombie Surfboard can easily crush plants and block Reapeater and Puff-shroom from damaging zombies, Newspaper Zombie is a big problem once his Newspaper is destroyed. The best way to deal with these zombies is with Explode-o-Vine, as he can easily defeat most zombies, with his initial explosions. They can also be advantage against Gargantuars and enraged Newspaper Zombie, as both of them can quickly cause Explode-o-Vine to explode and deal more damage. Surfer Zombie though can destroy Explode-o-Vine and not cause him to explode, once his Surfboard is dropped. But they can be destroyed along with the Surfboard, with initial explosion for Explode-o-Vine. Tombstone spawns can easily block projectiles and spawn dangerous zombies, you should get rid of them fast with Explode-o-Vine. Use Plant Food on Primal Sunflower, to produce lots of sun or on Repeater, to clear out a lane.

Step 4

Gargantuars are not really a threat in this level, since they can easily be killed by Explode-o-vine. However, Wizard Zombie and Octo Zombie can transform Explode-o-vine into sheep's/octopus respectively as well as Spikeweed which you need to rely on to easily get rid of Ice Weasel summoned from Weasel Hoarder. Lightning Reed is the only help to easily get rid of them, they can also be used to attack Imps summoned from Gargantuars. Use Plant Food on Spikeweed, to drag zombies farther from the lawn and damage any octopus in its lane, this effect can easily prevent loss of Lawn Mowers.

Step 5

All-Star Zombies aren't really not much of a threat due to the fact that they can easily be destroyed by Explode-o-Vine,not to mention Bombard-mint can help clear out Tombstones and easily destroy Gargantuars. However, Zombie Bulls can be a problem since they appear close to your house during Necromancy, or can easily charge through the lane without tackling Explode-o-Vine. Rotobaga can help attack zombies that are close since she can attack behind to. Spore-shroom can easily overwhelm zombies with the constant attacking they do, however Parasol Zombie can deflect them. Beware of Raptor's since they can easily kick zombies to your lawn and can mess up your defense. So Explode-o-Vine will help push zombies back.
