For the gnomes on the moon base on Herbal assault, you might want to add a little note to play with the boost cheat active. He mentions it in the video after you would of already started it. Mentioning it might help a few people not have to restart it and play through the entire match again just for the gnome.

Yea i thought about that afterwards but someone did comment saying that you didnt need the speed boast to get the last one. I havent tried it myself, but I wouldnt be surprised.

I've been playing for a while, and still do not have the super jump ability for the pea shooter. Does anyone know the best way to get this ability, or how to get it? As I have been told it is needed to get some of the gnomes Great guide by the way, thumbs up.

Its not something you unlock just simply setup a private match from within the portal and you can change the settings in there including unlimited ammo, among other things.

As the very first commenter warned might happen, I just followed the video and got to the Moon Base bit and found myself unable to collect the last gnome with my peashooter. Very frustrating--especially since there's a countdown running.

Fortunately, I was just able to get to it by switching teams and using SuperBrainz jump + dash [RB]. Had to do so from the pipes to the right of the gnome rather then the platform to the lest as in the video.

A note in the solution about this would have been nice.

How to collect a second gnome in Rome? Superbrain does not work for me.

I can't get the 53rd (the one in Rome before the last one). Has anyone had this problem and knows any fix? I can't stand on the platform he stands, my character keeps falling.

Update: For anyone wondering or having the same issue, I switched to the Imp. He still couldn't stand in the platform but somehow I managed to get the 'B' button prompt and pick up the Gnome.

I couldn’t get 53 with super Brainz as I couldn’t seem to get into the alcove and close enough to get the gnome (stuck on the trees for some reason) - so eventually I respawned as a peashooter, as you would to get 54, and then backtracked to the Rome zone and used the jump ability. With a smaller character I seemed to be able to get into the alcove easier, and got it first time!

Here is a link to Somewhat Awesome Games who found all the gnomes. All credit goes to Somewhat Awesome Games.
Edit: Some people are missing one gnome sometimes. I would suggest to have a friend come in your game and help him/her collect all the gnomes. For some reason when theirs another person in your game you can see the one your missing when you find out which one it is. I hope this helps.

Edit 2: SnoopSnoop84 says you can put a bot instead of a friend if you know which one your missing. It also seems the great white is one of the most glitched map for gnomes so if your missing one start on this map first.

Edit 3: A hard reset might have to be done if you are missing one gnome. The most common one is the 2nd to last gnome on the great white map.

I haven't been able to find anything but I'll privately message you if anybody finds out. I believe however, Somewhat Awesome Games knows it kind of since he said their was a hint on the wall or something at the end of the video. However, I will inform you if anybody finds anything.

to add onto the glitched gnome issue: I had the person with me try to pick it up first and it said they already had it as well (they had found zero) but then when I tried again it let me pick it up?!? Oh well achievement unlocked thanks for the great solution +1

Ya the gnomes are really buggy but the reward of an achievement and 700,000 coins is amazing!clap I hope that they fix the gnome issue for others. I can guarantee the down votes are from people that are missing one but didn't listen what to try. Thanks again.

Regarding the gnome issue... I knew which one I was missing even though it was saying I had it. Not sure if it's the same for everyone but I was missing in great white north and was just off windy pass! When I went in and put AI on my team and switched other team off it was there :)
Hope this helps some of you

Okay I think you are missing the same one I was send me a party invite and I can clarify. I had one glitched also and I think you are missing the same one. If you are missing the same one that I had, you are missing gnome number 41 on this guide. For some reason this was available for me to collect when I had my friend join the game and I was going through all of them with him that way I knew I wasn't going to miss it. So try to have a friend join your game and hunt for gnome 41. I hope that helps.smile

There are 54 gnomes to be found, hidden around the backyard battleground and across the various multiplayer maps. For those like myself who prefer a text-based solution, I've found this excellent one, complete with useful screenshots:

This is a really useful guide. Find these easier than video guides. Have to use a video for #53 as the pictures and description as absolutely useless.

There are 54 golden / garden gnomes located in the entire world. The most of them can you find on multiplayer maps. To play these maps without enemies go in a private game and set the enemies to "none" in the settings. The gnomes are automatically saved if you pick up one. Before you can start with the gnome hunting you should play as first both campaigns to the end to unlock all locations.

If you miss a Golden Gnome then use this reddit thread to find out where you forgot the gnome - https://www.reddit.com/r/PvZGardenWarfare/comments/47jlpd/an...

My video is completely sorted, with counter and without annoying commentary.
