Candy Crush Saga Level 390 - Episode 27: Licorice Tower

Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Work your way down.

You should start working your way down as soon as possible. You can mostly ignore the sides at first, although the specials in the corners are useful if you can get to them. Make matches that are directly below your ingredients and clear them a path through the meringue tins. Try to access the specials on the bottom trapped in marmalade--they can help clear the cakes.

Clear the cakes.

These cakes take 8 adjacent moves to clear each one, but the payoff is huge. When you clear a cake, a cannon comes in and wipes out all the candy and one layer of obstacles. Try to make matches near the cakes and set off specials that help clear them. Cakes can be vital to getting your ingredient on the very bottom of the board!

Leave the stragglers.

There are tons of obstacles in this level, so aside from the cakes and the ones that are blocking specials or ingredients, you should leave them alone. Focus on the ones near the bottom and center of the board, and you should have enough room to clear ingredients. Specials and cakes can help take clear of stragglers, so focus your efforts on making specials, dropping ingredients, and clearing the cakes.

Candy Crush Level 390 Video

Level 390 is an ingredients level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to bring down 2 nuts and 2 cherries in 50 moves and aim for 40,000 points. The level type first appears in level 11 and has now made over 150 appearances. In order to complete an ingredients level, a player must bring down the shown amount of ingredients to the bottom of the board. There two types of ingredients are cherries an hazelnuts. For every one collected, a player will receive 10,000 points.

How to Beat Ingredients Levels:

  • Wrapped candies will do fairly well for ingredients as well. These special candies will crush a large cluster of candies. Therefore, the wrapped candy should be used close to or directly below an ingredient.
  • Color bombs can also made a big impact in ingredient levels. For example, you can use one to remove a candy immediately blocking your ingredient or you can combine it with a striped candy to pretty much guarantee your ingredient's exit.
  • Striped candies are your best friends in ingredients levels. The reason behind this is that when they are activated, they will clear out an entire row(horizontal) or column(vertical) on the board. However, since vertically striped candies clear an entire column, they are far and away the best weapon in this level type. Always try to ensure that vertically striped candies and your ingredients are in the same column. When they are, the vertically striped candy will clear drop the ingredient in one swift and efficient move. For better results, align multiple candies in the same column.
  • As you progress further into the game, you will see your ingredients path to the bottom more and more obstructed by various blockers. To combat this, especially at the bottom, make sure to shift your ingredient to the a clear row or column.

Bonus Tip: Ingredient Drop Path

AI

Clear blockers in the drop path first. Vertical striped candies are your best friend - they punch through obstacles and push ingredients down fast.
