Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Crush the 5-hit meringue.

You only have 35 moves, so make sure you first priority is clearing away the meringue blocking the dispensers. You need your ingredients out asap. You also have the option of only clearing away one meringue and having all your ingredients coming out of one dispenser. However, this method may be trickier to use due the board's blockers.

Control the chocolate.

Not only will you have to deal with tornados, you're also going to have to deal with a great deal of regenerating chocolate pieces. You should not let the chocolate get to out of control. You need a create a path for you ingredients so they can drop. If there is to much chocolate spreading it will be nearly impossible to meet your goals. At the same time you shouldn't be clearing chocolate that isn't around your path. That's a waste of moves!

Use vertically striped candies.

Vertically striped candies are great for dropping ingredients to the bottom since they clear out the entire column.

Candy Crush Level 422 Video

Level 422 is an ingredients level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to bring down 5 cherries with just 35 moves. 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.

I've struggled with levels before, but this one-it just sucks!

Bull shit. Four of the cherries do not come down in those 35 moves!

You must clear the meringue covering the three top dispensers to free the cherries

Clear the meringues ASAP! The sooner you clear them, the sooner the cherries come out. This level is about a 6 on a difficulty scale 1-10. I almost cleared it a couple of times. I'll get it soon.

That is a total B S cheat. Four of the cherries do not come down in those 35 moves. The Soda Swamp is so far the worse the game has to offer. I have yet to see one thing remotely fun about the Soda Swamp.

Thanks for the guide, these hints and tips are useful indeed, but this level is a pure mix of frustration, anger, boredom, annoyance. My only motivation is that this game offers some really fun and entertaining levels, but this entirely luck-based level makes me seriously consider quitting the game for good.

Bad advice. Ignore the 5-hit meringues, which are gonna be crushed inevitably. Focus on making combos. There is no way to "walk down" the targeted pieces. Better to make a lot of combos and cherry bombs, then hope for a few cascades. Took me 2 days to beat this. I never buy anything for the game. But I only won when I quit focusing on the top meringues. Also, get used to the tornadoes. As we get more skilled at higher levels, the developer has to add elements of luck to the game. Ans since the tornadoes are random and uncontrolled and can mess up your plans, they are indeed an element of (bad) luck.

Tornados can be destroyed with stripped candy.

This one was a pain in the arse. I got through it by a combination of lots of wrappeds + dumb luck. A wrapped + wrapped early on helped a lot.
