How to unlock the Explodonator achievement in Plants vs. Zombies - Definitive Guide

I got this on the final stage of Adventure 'world' 1': simply wait until you have enough zombies piled up against a Wallnut (you'll probably want some either side too) then place a Cherry Bomb just behind them. Pop!

In adventure mode, the only way to replay the same level is you have to go through the whole game again.

It's pretty easy to get this while playing Adventure Mode level 3-5, where your backyard is assaulted by a horde of mini zombies. The zombies are easier to kill but move faster, meaning they'll clump up quicker when blocked by an obstacle. Place Wall-nuts (on land and in the pool on Lily Pads) a few columns away from the bushes and let the zombies pile up. When the conveyor belt gives you a Cherry Bomb, drop it near the largest group of zombies (I dropped mine next to the pool, bottom side, covering both bottom land lanes and the lower pool lane), and the achievement should pop.

The easiest way to get this achievement is to play the Big Trouble Little Zombie minigame. It takes minimal effort and I got the achievement on my first try without even going for it.

In the Big Trouble Little Zombie minigame, you'll be playing in a pool level with mini zombies. The conveyor belt will give you lots of Cherry Bombs, Peashooters, Walnuts, and Lily Pads, so just play as you normally would (using the Peashooters to fend off the horde, the Walnuts as your main line of defense, and Cherry Bombs if necessary). After a wave or so, your backyard should be pretty streamlined to take on all of the mini zombies. At the second wave mark, you should start getting more and more zombies, allowing you to plant your Cherry Bombs with ease. There should be more than a few opportunities for you to blast 10 zombies, so if you don't get it right away, try again. This achievement unlocks immediately, so you'll know if you blasted 10 zombies or not. Hope this helps.

As long as you have a second controller connected, this will work:
Make sure you have the following unlocked: "Walnut, Cherry Bomb, and VS Mode."
Set the profile you want the achievement for as a Plant, and the boosting profile as a Zombie.
Plant a whole lane of Walnut's and lots of Sunflowers on a different lane. When you have enough for a Cherry Bomb make sure you have 250 brains. Summon 10 browncoats, I recommend counting each time you summon one when you have summoned 10 launch the Cherry Bomb at a spot you are sure to destroy all browncoats with. If done correctly, the achievement should pop! Good luck! smile

This can be unlocked easily in Survival mode (unlocked when finishing the game) after 3 flags, or in story mode, by keeping a lot of zombies in one spot using wall-nuts then using the cherry bomb.

Here's a video to help:

You unlock the Cherry Bomb during adventure mode after beating zone 1 - level 2.

Playing adventure mode you should unlock this up without having to think too hard about it, once you are being overwhelmed by 10 or more zombies use the Cherry Bomb to blow them up. Alternatively the mini-game Big Trouble Little Zombie is a good place to get this.

I found that the easiest way to do this was to have Cherry Bombs attached and wait till a huge wave of zombies appeared. Then place this is the middle of a large group, Hopefully ten zombies will be in this. If not just try again. Shouldnt take too long to do. 
If you havent managed to get this in your playthrough of Adventure mode you can do it in versus mode. Make sure you have enough cash for a cherry bomb, and the person who is controlling the zombies has enough to call in 10 zombies. Then call in 10 zombies an plant the cherry in the middle.

Unlike the PSN version, where you could go into 2-P mode and boost this yourself, there is no 2 player option but there are plenty of ways to get this easily.

The way I did it is to go into the "Last Stand" mini-game and set Tall-nuts to fill up the row as a barrier. Make sure you have Cherry Bombs in your set. Start the wave and as soon as the zombies clump up, place the Cherry Bomb on the 3rd row so it hits zombies in all 3. The trophy should pop easily this way.

Here is another method by MegaHentai:

  • I found the easiest way to bag Explodinator was on the mini-game with the mini-zombies. Just plant a couple of Wall-nuts in two adjacent rows when zombies are coming, let them bunch up and drop the cherry bomb on them.

I actually had a hard time doing this during Adventure Mode but was able to do it in Versus Mode.

Using two controllers, set one controller to plants and the other to zombies, then select random battle, ensure that the wall-nut and cherry bomb are in your plant cards.

On the far left column plant all sunflowers, then plant two columns of wall-nuts one column away from the red line, then let controller two collect brains. You are building walls to block up the zombies until they are in a group of 10+, the zombies will not start coming automatically until controller two places the first zombie. When you have your two walls of wall-nuts, start placing zombies.

Once you have a group of 10, drop a cherry bomb and watch the trophy pop. If it doesn't work, plant more wall-nuts and try again.
