Candy Crush Saga Level 342 - Episode 24: Pearlescent Plains

Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Top jellies first.

Level 342 is one of the trickiest Candy Crush levels out there--mostly because you don't know where the jellies are that you're trying to clear! That's why it's imperative to first take care of the jellies you can see. There are six jellies (three double layered) at the top of this board, clear those first before moving onto the layered meringue s.

Keep the fish until the end.

Keep those jelly fish locked in the marmalade for as long as you can! They can eat only through one level of the meringues so while these little guys will be pivotal in clearing the level, they need to be your last step. Hold off on clearing the fish until you've cleared a majority of the board.

Use a color bomb.

Next Because you don't know where the jellies are in Level 342, you need to take calculated risks. While striped candies could seem useful in these, they aren't as they only allow you to attack one column at a time. And since the meringue s need to be cleared more than once (or twice! they need to be cleared five times, seven if there is a jelly behind them), a color bomb +color bomb combination or a striped candy +color bomb is going to be your best bet for taking on this challenging level.

Level 342 is a Jelly level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to You have 25 moves to cleat 14 jelly squares and get at least 40,000 points. In order to complete a Jelly level, you must remove all of the jelly on the board. You remove jelly from the board by making a match with a piece of candy on top of the jelly. In the higher levels, you can sometimes get stuck on double jelly levels. On those you have to make two matches on top of a square of jelly in order to clear it from the board! We've got all the tips to beat jelly levels you need here at candy crush cheats!

How To Beat Jelly Levels:

  • Your only objective in jelly levels is to clear the jelly. That means you should only be worried about making matches on top of the jelly, and not other parts of the board.
  • If you can't make a match on top of the jelly, try using jelly fish! Jelly fish act like normal candies in that you match them with other candies of the same color. But when you make a match with a jelly fish, its will activate and swim off the screen. Then three new jelly fish will swim on screen and eat three jelly squares. For double jelly squares, this will count as one match. If jelly is stuck under a blocker that isn't licorice, the jelly fish will still eat the jelly from under the blocker.
  • Jelly squares at the top of the board and at the corners can be tricky, since these are the hardest spot to match candies. Watch out for these, and try to clear the board first.
  • When you clear all the jelly from the level, you will get a sugar crush. This will give you a ton of points.

At the start of the level a jelly sits behind every meringue /whipped cream block at the bottom. Look carefully at the wiggly edges and you can see the jelly. However, the whole meringue doesn't have to be cleared to clear the jelly - a fish will bypass all the layers and kill off the jelly layer. Fish only head for jelly blocks, and will head for the meringue blocks with the jellies before any jelly blocks with fish in them, so make sure you keep fish in the upper jellies rather than regular candies. As soon as a regular candy falls into one of the upper jellies there is a risk that you will waste a fish by gobbling up that (easy to clear) jelly when the best strategy is to use them on the (hard to clear) meringue jellies. I hope that helps. Once I worked this out I cleared the level in no time.

I don't think this is true... I have seen the fish attack all the meringues and j still can't beat the level... So frustrating... How can I beat it if I can't see the jellies

I also have had the fish attack the other jellies that contain fish. Can get to no visible jelly, no fish, 15 moves left. Tried a candy bomb and fish combo, still can't clear the meringue. There are more than 14 jellies in this level. And no video to watch. Any suggestions?

Before your first move check to see if you can easily remove to top ones, such as 2 of the same color together. If you don't have a good set up restart the game.

Just passed the level by crossing a fish with that candy ball thing. Still had 7 moves left. And YES you can see the jelly under the meringue but the bigger the screen you are playing on the easier it is to see.

I have had the fish attack the other jellies that contain fish. Can get to where there is no visible jelly, no fish with 15 moves left, but can't clear the meringue. Tried a candy bomb and fish combo, still can't clear the meringue. Tried a candy bomb and fish booster, still can't clear the jelly. There are more than 14 jellies in this level. And no video to watch. Any suggestions? Candy-Crush-please help

Finished this nasty level at last. At these levels, what I have understood is the strategy doesn't count. If the game software decides you must win now, then only you can win. Anyway here are few tips that would be helpful to beat this level. * First clear the visible jellies as much as possible before using the jelly fish. * Keep that in mind, there are 14 hidden jellies (hidden under multiple layers of meringues), that are impossible to clear without jelly fish. So you need to save at least 5 jelly fish to eat those hidden jellies. Don't even think to clear those jellies by removing the meringue layers first. * Since one fish eats 3 jellies, always count if you have enough fish to clear the hidden jellies. e.g. If you have 3 fish and you have 10 hidden jellies, you don't have enough fish. This is a loss loss situation, no point of continuing, better hit the finish button and start a fresh game. * Since jelly fish play a major role in this level why not using the jelly fish booster at the start up. Using a color bomb will also be much much helpful. Hey I am not telling you to spend $$s, but just collect jelly fish and color bombs from daily booster wheel for free. * When you have color bomb and jelly fish boosters selected, again strictly follow the first two hints I mentioned above. Since you have selected the jelly fish booster the more fish will be fallen while you are progressing. * Combine the color bomb with a jelly fish. That will multiply the jellies. (If you are lucky enough you'll get at most 12 jellies cleared from this match) * This is how I won the level. I selected all the boosters I have at that time (a +3 moves booster received from a friend, color bomb, jelly fish and striped+wrapped booster). Then I combined the color bomb with a fish after clearing some possible jellies. * I tried more than 100 games of this level, but I won the first game that I started with the boosters as I described above. * Need not to say, the Striped+Wrapped booster that I selected at the start up was useless.

the problem with this level isn't that you can't see the jelly - you totally can see it. The problem is that the fish won't eat the jelly under the icing until all the rest of the jelly has been cleared, which is very nearly impossible to do without setting off a cascade that destroys all the fish.
