Lost Keys Lake
Lost Keys Lake was the second location in the post-2020 version of Plants vs. Zombies 3. Battles took place on a forested campground. It consisted of 19 levels in total in the April 2022 release and 2 levels in the September 2021 beta.
Gimmick
Lost Keys Lake’s gimmick was water tiles. The water tiles could not be directly planted on and required aquatic plants to do so. The water tiles also had a special effect where non-aquatic zombies would move slower upon swimming in it, while it would be the opposite for aquatic zombies. In each level, the water tiles would have different patterns.
Surprise Attack (Archived content)
This location’s surprise attack was “Water Surge!”, wherein all aquatic plants in the water would be shifted one tile in the direction the water would be flowing. Plants that were at the edge of the lawn during the Water Surge would be destroyed.
