Candy Crush Saga Level 2897 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 2897 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
The cake bomb at the bottom is the key to this level, it must be cleared, but the surrounding licorice make it harder to clear.
First clear as much jelly as you can whilst at the same time unlocking the locked licorice beside the cake bomb. 
Once the locked licorice is mobile it can drop through the portals and into the top of the board where it can be cleared.
The licorice will keep dropping down and protecting the cake from your combos, so in order to hit the cake you need to clear some licorice until there is none above the cake, then use a combo to hit the cake before any more licorice drops. This can be very tricky to do as the licorice often drops down before your combo hits the cake.
If you can clear licorice and hit the cake in the same move it can be successful, but if you clear licorice you must hit the cake on the next move or the licorice will drop again.
The mystery candies are very useful on level 2897 as they will often give you fish, which will clear the jellies in the bottom where there are no candies, but only if there is no licorice on them.

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.

Double freckle to start but make sure you also select the fish booster as it is very useful. Indy

You would think that after playing this long folks would know the correct names of these boosters. Double freckle?! WTF!!

Rob said...

Who the hell cares about the official name. We all know what she means. I like the name freckle lol

Veronica said...

How do you start with double freckle anyway

RG said...

@Veronica, You start with space dash and add an extra "freckle" when you start the game.RG.

Why is this not a hard level? Posting for luck

Am I playing the same level? I can hit the licorice over the cake wheel and then have the very next move be a stripe or combo to hit the cake wheel but licorice ALWAYS forms right beforehand. There's no way to hit the cake except with fish. No way this is not a hard level.

Hmmm I've cleared the licorice several times, then hit the cake with a stripe with no effect. Game acts like there's an invisible licorice in the way LOL.

Anonymous said...

Same here. Stripes go through the cake without any effect, even if there's no licorice in the way. How can I beat the level if stripes are of no use?

I love the freckles!!! Give me freckles!!!

Yo no sé cuál es el refuerzo de las "pecas" y aún no sé lo que es un tablero espacio. Discúlpenme si soy torpe o quizás no soy tan joven como ustedes.
Me gusta mucho esta página y los comentarios. Gracias a todos

What is a freckle? Why don't the fish hit the cake?

Anonymous said...

The striped candies only "appear" to do no good with the cake. In reality, the stupid licorice come out at the last moment and mess things up---hard to see. That make this ridiculously hard unless you have a lot of "luck" again.

Anonymous said...

Now, not only do you have to wait for a lucky board, you also have to wait for CC to decide not to cheat. I have hit the cake numerous times without any licorice blocking it and it does nothing. It also blows right thru chocolate and jelly without clearing it. No point in even setting up moves. Just have to wait till it decides to not cheat.

Anonymous said...

I don't know how you're supposed to win this one. The stripes don't do anything to clear the cake and barely the jelly. I have not once cleared the cake yet. Somebody please help me.

Anonymous said...

Hey, I have freckles and hate them so I'm going by their real name and calling them a color bomb. Lol.

"The mystery candies are very useful on level 2897 as they will often give you fish"
My mystery candies must not know about fish. They keep turning into blockers.
And how about these low time countdown bombs?
Not to mention caged licorice and licorice that keeps dropping and blocking the cake.
Playing on PC cannot reset until two Colour Bombs are together.
Tough level indeed. Once again waiting for a lucky board.

Very difficult this level, I cannot hit only one piece of the cake!
Only licorice.....

Anonymous said...

I really don't understand HOW you can hit the cake??
Every time you make a stripe, there is first licorice on the board ?

Has any played the New Candy Crush and how is it.

I am giving up, this level is just frustrating. The last 30 or so levels have not been enjoyable just waiting for luck, very annoying

The licorice is evil

Texas Red Rose said...

I agree with the others who posted about the stripes and combos not hitting the cake. It looks as though there is an invisible blockage but in the video, Cookie has no trouble hitting the cake. What gives King? I can understand players frustration after awhile. The levels need to match Cookie's video not only in the amount of turns but also the ability to play without purchasing a lot of boosters in order to win.

Cheating over and over and over- the game is fixed.

Katydid said...

Good question. I think Candy Crush cheats.

Katydid said...

How many games do you have to play before that happens? So tired of beating the game but not winning.

Katydid said...

Pretty sad when Candy Crush has to resort to cheating.

Katydid said...

They’re all fixed, some just worse than others.

This level is unreal. Just as I create a striped in the right direction, the licorice falls into place and the stripe is useless.

Incredibly hard. Waiting for lucky moves.
