Candy Crush Saga Level 2801 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 2801 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
You have 17 moves to collect the orders, which isn't a lot!
The first thing you need to do is to stop the chocolate spreading too much by clearing as much of the "free" chocolate as possible in the first few moves.
You will need special candies to unlock the locked blockers and licorice so look for chances to make stripes or wraps while you are clearing the chocolate.
Special candies are important so if you have a choice between making one and clearing chocolate you must think carefully before you decide. If you make a special candy will you be able to use it or will the chocolate block you too much?
Once the chocolate starts to take over it can stop you collecting the rest of the orders so it has to be taken into account when making moves.
Colourbomb/stripe and colourbomb/wrap combos are always good for clearing blockers and licorice.

If the level you play is different from the one here it is because the developers have changed it since I played and I have no control over this. Please let me know in the comments and I will try to change it.

I'm surprised there are no comments here. Haven't gotten through yet, but I can tell that it is essential to clear the chocolate as fast as possible. I got close once. Had two licorice left on the board. I could have used two lollies IF there had been two licorice left to knock off, but the chocolate covered the remaining licorice. The licorice was the most difficult to collect.

I have the space dash and matched two wraps which cleared a lot of the chocolate and licorice. I saved the remaining CB as long as possible, trying to get the match which would clear the most. At the end, I needed two licorice with two moves left and was lucky to get a move to match a stripe/wrap opposite the two licorice.

Lucky board first time with space dash, 2 sprinkles together is the key to this.

I think there are so few comments because many people are stopped while playing level 2800 after moves and time on bombs were reduced so cruelly. Here the same.... Mrs Cookie even wrote "You have 21 moves to collect the orders, which isn't a lot!"... And King reduces unfairly to 17 moves. Tried at least 50 times and decided also here it is only possible with incredibile luck or booster. Made it with CB + wrap (and cleared before as much as possible to have more candies in the color of the wrap). Stupid level. Hate it when you don't improve while playing - which means it's no skill but luck. I was good at clearing chocolate (yes, this is important), but also with much luck there was always some liquorice or blocker still locked in the end

Had to booster this one too. Started with a colourbomb next to a wrap and then used 2 hammers to unlock the last chocolate and liquorice. Probably could've done it eventually without boosters but life's too short...

Can't believe that after the last couple of episodes and the nightmare games within I am having such a problem with this one. Getting really peed off now!

It is now only 17 moves!! I am sure it was reduced from 25 moves because loyal players were able to pass without buying boosters!! That is what this game has become!! BUY BOOSTERS!!! Or you can't pass!! Buy extra moves from piggy bank filled with gold bricks for $2.99

Day 4!! So annoyed!! These levels are set up so you buy gold bricks to purchase extra moves!!! So I quit!

cvp said...

With only 17 moves, this level needs to be labeled as a hard level!! Also saying candy crush is a free app is not true!! Should be changed! Can't be completed without buying boosters!!

Since cc has made such ridiculous levels, I’ve been going back and playing level 606 to earn space dash boosters. Got the sprinkle, wrap and stripe candy and used one of my own sprinkle bombs. Reset until the two sprinkles were together and finished with 11 moves left.

Ellie said...

Combine a CB with a wrap, that will delete most of the chocolate on one move. After that concentrate on the locked ones and get combos
I used my lady hand swap and won the game

Why is there always so much whining on here when there's a difficult level? King are a business so they're entitled to encourage players to buy boosters if they want, by any means they choose. If they want to make a level more challenging, so what? Without revenue there'll be no new levels, simple as. For Christ's sake, they give away no end of free boosters, including the daily spin, space dash, the magic hat, etc., not to mention the free hours of play from the chests, plus other challenges. I dare say many people who have got this far - me included - haven't spent a single penny, yet we've still got this far, so are hard levels something unexpected? If the players achieved instant gratification and passed each level immediately, everyone would be complaining that the game's too easy.
So, if you don't like the game or the way it's run, shut up and go elsewhere. There are a million and one other games out there so do us a favour and choose them instead. However I would doubt that they'll be as well produced, imaginative and, yes, generous with boosters as King are with this game.

Too few moves! Need a lucky board please!

I agree with a last year poster...people, stop the whining and foul language. Realize CC is not meant to be a free give away. You have to decide if the enjoyment is worth the $ . About once a month I buy gold bars that I earned ...when I no longer think it is worth it, I'll go on.
However, when I look around, haven't found one I like as well as CC.

Alessandra said...

Wow what a load of BS.
Yet again another level with a pathetic number of moves

Even starting with colour bomb and checkmark booster doesn’t help

..... Suck us dry of all our boosters so we need to buy more - that’s the aim here, let’s face it.
Utter nonsens

As always, same shit. After a few weeks hollidays you find the same shit, especially less moves, than you realise you are done with this game, like most players. Believe me cc lose more players than they want. I know cause i know the Numbers of lossing players.

Anonymous said...

Again not enough moves especially when you have no boosters...
Good luck board please.

In 2 tries. Good advice.trini

What's funny now is that when you fail at a level a drop box appears with the handy message "Did you know that 22,000 people bought extra lives for this level" My response, yes, actually yes I did because I have full access to everyone around the world that plays your game, I know their gender, inside leg measurement and frequency of masturbation throughout a lunar month. ;)

I really wonder how so many people are so angry? This level was EASY, JUST AS THE PRECEDING ONES WERE!

steve said...

Doesn't CC know that we play these games for a challenge, an escape.
But when you make it so impossible it's not fun and will drive players away.
This is one of those levels that is only there to get players to use their tokens etc.. It is all luck only. Please don't waste any money on this level. It takes 5 minutes to play the 5 games allowed and move on to another better challenging game(chess).

steve said...

Despite my last 2 comments I had to use a lollipop to get through. Yes I got lucky.

good luck all

yshuummu said...

Over 100 times! Not even close!!!! Stuck for 10 days!!!! I guess it's time to quit!!! Enjoy all the money I have giving you for this stupid game!!!

snow said...

I started with all 3 boosters and made a colorbomb/stripe combo which really opened up the board and used a hand switch to move a stripe to get last cage over last licorice

Billie Girl said...

Lucky board please

Caz said...

No way can you beat this in a fair game until it lets you. The layout of the board and the fact that a stripe will only hit one item out of the many needed in in so few moves (even if you can manage to make one) makes that a fact. And that’s why, in answer to Anonymous in November 2017, people get annoyed. Because it’s fixed. It’s not simply “challenging”. Yeah, we could go elsewhere to play but we clearly like the game so are hoping (clearly naively) that King will listen to our genuine moans. And it’s not good business in my case because it makes me even more determined not to pay a single penny. I used to, but no more.

This level was the killer for me. It’s not a game anymore. No fun, no skills, just random, I don’t know, English isn’t my native language. I’m out.
