The quest chain and the pet are modeled after PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies.
Similar to PvZ, players must survive five waves of ghouls in a mini-game started at Brazie's Farm, located just south of the Dalaran Crater in Hillsbrad Foothills. Players are phased out during each wave and will find themselves in vehicle-mode while defending the farm from ghouls using different plants.
Note: The repeatable version of the quest and feat of strength achievement (Bloom and Doom) is currently bugged and not available.
Brazie's Sunflower will occasionally hum or sing a line from the PvZ theme song as well as other miscellaneous tunes.
This companion is also known as the "Singing Sunflower" and is listed under this name in the pet tab in-game. However, the item and the summoning spell are labeled as "Brazie's Sunflower."
I tried all the suggestions I could find for "Someone Setup The Pumpkin Bomb" and "Lawn Of The Dead", but works for me is 2 rows of sunflowers at the back on the left followed by 1 row of freezers, then all tentacles with stonenuts wherever needed (need Lots in LOTD) to slow undead progression until you can afford a tentacle to take out something that's breaking through. When planting the tentacles I positioned roughly middle first. Save bombs for mobs and the bosses. STOCKPILE SUN!
Such a cute lil pet, love the singing!
I got this pet with a lot of cursing...but honestly, watch the vids on youtube. Take a deep breath and do it. Don't rush, just keep putting up ur defenses. the worst thing to do is get happy fingers and try to rush it, trust me....this is NOT that kind of quest. I beat the final part after a good nights sleep, one more watch on the vid and yahoo!!!! I am NOT gonna try it again...once was enough.
Fun pet to get, great pet to use for PVE vs mechanical or most pets really. The beam when used with sunlight is a two hitter so it will kill the mechanical and then immediately kill it again after it respawns which is quite handy.
I use this guy in combination with corefire imp and one other. Casting rejuvination and then sunlight i switch him to the backline to bring out the imp. The imp uses is DoT and then cauterize which benefits greatly from sunlight. Switching the two keeps em alive
This pet follows my Unholy DK around. Let that sink in.
If you are having trouble completing this quest - the following helps.
1) fill both the back rows with sunflowers as quick as possible. Zombies move slow so you have time to get that done and only drop a stong or two (or plant) in front of the zombies.
2) start adding your defense as far to the front as possible.
3) add sunflowers when you can to the third row ( 2 or 3 are good).
4) add stones to the first row (zombie side) as soon as possible. This gives you more time.
Finally got this guy today with a few bad language words possibly, lots of focus, and fast fingers but I did it! Plant as many sunflowers at the back as you can is the key, the more flowers the more power you'll have to make what you need to not lose your brains.
Took me 15 minutes or so to get this guy. Thanks iPad PvZ!
SO glad they fixed the Sunflower in 5.2!!! Now he heals double when it's sunny out! He's a solid choice now-
The last two rounds were a challenge, but I found that this worked best - 2 rows of sunflowers at the back (get them up as soon as possible!) 2 rows of shooters & 1 row of freezers after the sunflowers, (very important) and then have 3 vines (optional but fun) at the front with the rock nuts infront and to their sides (important!) by that time you just have to save up for pumpkin bombs and repairing what gets taken down. Good luck!
Confirmed that Sunflower can withstand Major Payne's Polar Bear. Use Sunlight to strike all of Payne's pets. Use Photosynthesis over and over during Sunlight's cooldown, and this takes a long time, but you can tag-in a mechanical to kill off the Polar Bear. The continuos heal +sunlight allows Sunflower to survive easily. Sunflower's low dmg cannot kill the Polar Bear, which is why a mechanical is needed on the team. 2 team strategy: Singing Sunflower + Iron Starlette
