Tips & Strategies

Written by our expert Candy Crush players

Get rid of the meringues.

The three-layered meringue s blocking the dispensers at the top of the screen are your first priority for this level. If you want to bring the ingredients down, you need to get the meringues out of the way. Vertical striped candies are the easiest way to accomplish this goal. Make them as soon as you can and position them below each meringue.

Watch out for bombs.

While breaking the meringues are necessary, removing them means you'll have to deal with an onslaught of turn-based bombs. They vary from 20 moves to 5 moves. You don't need to worry about the bombs with the larger number of moves, but the 5 move and 10 move bombs should be deal with as quickly as possible. Don't worry about wasting time and resources on the bombs. There are no other obstacles preventing the ingredients from reaching the bottom of the screen, so you might as well deal with the bombs.

Make room for the ingredients.

Keeping the bombs in mind, the rest of your energy should be directed towards clearing candies and bringing the ingredients down. The best way to do this is to rely on striped candies. Vertical striped candies clear out entire columns of candy, making an ingredients passage to the bottom of the board much easier.

Candy Crush Level 525 Video

Level 525 is an ingredients level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to bring down 3 hazelnuts and 2 cherries and score at least 60,000 points in 30 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.

Since about level 500 this game isnt even fun,anymore,just ridiculous ,time to look for a new game.

Why are no more people complaining. Even if you get rid of the meringues, and you disarm the bombs then you still don't have enough moves to get the 5 blasted ingredients down> Because the all wait for each other to go before the next appears! Give us at least some more moves so we have a chance. I have has several color bombs combined with striped and still did not get through.

Wow, whinging helps! Straight after my complaint I got through this level! Everything just came together for good this time. Hooray!

This level 525 is a total waste of time & waste of extra lives. I refuse to waste a bunch of saved lives on this. I have plenty of other things to use my time on in between. I guess I will just stay here forever. Lol They have more to loose then I do to be stuck here. Sucks to be them! Lol lol

Level 525 is ridicules. There is no skill, only luck on this level. Once you break the meringues, if you're lucky the bomb will fall into candy of the same color, if you're not lucky, then you spend more of the very few moves that you are given trying to destroy the bomb. Then you have a few moves left to try and get 5 different ingredients, that don't even drop until the previous ingredient is dropped from the board. Everyone, stop at level 500, don't bother going any further, it's frustrating and a waste of time. Find something else to do!!!
