Candy Crush Saga Level 3164 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 3164 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie
Fish are the answer to level 3164 Candy Crush Saga.
Switch the stripes together down the middle to release loads of fish from the floats, the first switch will unlock a lot of the floats and release some fish but once the floats are unlocked simply switching the combos down the middle will give you enough fish to clear the jelly and, just as importantly, the bombs.
The bombs have only a few moves countdown so need to be kept under control, but don't waste moves trying to match them, just switch the combos and let the fish do the work for you. The level has changed slightly since the video was made, but the tips and video should still be relevant.

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.

The level has changed already: fewer stripes, only 3 on the bombs, but also no more bands over the floats. It's gotten quite hard, to be honest, struggling with it.

Anonymous said...

I have no idea how to do this. The floats are locked, the bombs have a countdown of three, I can't match the few stripes in the middle with anything and it all has to be done in 8 moves (not that I ever came that far with so many bombs). I'm usually not bad in finding working strategies, but with this level I'm completely lost.

My tip is try NOT to concentrate on the 3 timer bombs. I concentrated on combos in the middle row and kept hitting those “fish releasers”. It worked and I finished with one move left. (Anna from Ausralia).

Lin5ster said...

Anna from Australia is right. I did the same, forget the bombs, if you can release the fish, they eat the bombs with low counts. You can’t keep up with them, just leave them for the fish. I did it in the end. Thanks everyone for your tips.

This is the first day of general access to this game and as discussed above, they reduced the bombs from 4 to 3 seconds, introduced a solid between the stripes in the center column and reduced the number of moves from 10 to 8. I played the level several times and realized it was almost impossible to win.

Here’s what I did to win: 1) I played level 606 four times. That gave me two color bomb boasters, one strip, one wrap and 3 extra moves. Then as I selected level 3264, I selected all three of the boosters. I continued to select the game until I had two color bombs side-by-side. At that point I had a little bit of luck and won on this try. This is not the way I wanted to play the game but I didn’t make the rules.

Only 7 moves. Please correct. Posting for luck.

I added all three boosters to the space dash and reset until CB’s were together. Luckily all three CB’s were on the right side and on the left side I had two wraps together. I matched the wraps and made one other safe move which cleared much of the left side before I matched the CB’s. The bombs had counted down to 1 when I matched the CB’s, but that cleared the countdown bombs and almost all the jelly with a big fish release.

Anonymous said...

OMG Anna is right forget the bombs just match the stripe and the wrap down the middle i had 1 left and used a hammer didn't want to take a chance

anonymous said...

Played several times & this one worked for me with 8 moves left. Thank you!!

TNC said...

Followed Carol the elder's plan and it worked

Anonymous said...

Several unsuccessful attempts on my iPad, one attempt on my Android and crushed it with 10 moves left! Fish are definitely the answer.

cvp said...

I have tried all the suggested tips,including yours! Several times!!! I don't even come close!!! This should be labeled extra hard!! It's not fun anymore!!

Anonymous said...

What a stupid level. Beat it this way:

1. Play 606 enough times to get the lights power helmet.
2. Select ALL booster options
3. Restart the game until you get two candy bombs next to each other.
4. Blow up the whole board, and pray that you'll only be left with a few jellies, and that they'll be near each other, and you'll have the moves you need, in TWO moves.
5. If not, quit the game, which preserves your helmet, and restart ad nauseam

With this, I was able to beat it using one hammer before the bombs went off.

Angered said...

I've tried almost all the suggested plays mentioned...the video shows bombs/stripes on the conveyor...not for me ...I just keep getting solids...finally got to the level that has broken me...frustrated me enough to call it quits on...good riddens CC

Unknown said...

Totally ridiculous. If you want to turn off cc, just keep building those insane levels. Happy bankrupcy

And let you know it's true.
If you follow directions
you will pass.
Though it may take a game or two.
Just check off all the bonus guys
For this level,
I will admit.
I have decided to relabel it for me...
not easy, not hard, but THE SHITZ!

Anonymous said...

Two people said they had 8 and 10 moves left. If the game only has 7 or 8 movers with maybe three bonus moves, they must be commenting on a different level.

Anonymous said...

Ok this level is ridiculous. Have wasted all my boosters ��

booklady said...

Even with 3 extra moves and all boosters im struggling, same as Seany above I don't get wraps or stripes in the middle so the 3 move bombs are a major problem.

liloldlady said...

Posting for much needed luck. Ridiculous hard level.

Unknown said...

Gotta wait for space dash to come back around as helmets don’t give you the 3 extra moves or 2 CBs.

Why do people play level 606 instead of level 1?

Quitting a game does NOT preserve your helmet once you have made a move.

The wraps do not fall in the center column. Where are they!!

I hate this level.

pamccabr said...

Thanks those fish did the trick

Anonymous said...

Level 606 is a sure winner in five moves. You have to work at level 1 to get the full package of boosters. All you have to do is play level 606 four times and walk away with a package of boosters.

Dog lover said...

I'm not getting strips or packages down the middle column so Cookie's advice doesn't work. This really sucks.

Level 606 can be won in 2 moves every time, it's a fast way to get boosters and not so far to scroll back as level 1.

Allie said...

Yep, same - played the easy levels a bunch of times to get the space dash helmet, and activated all boosters. Reloaded until I got a striped and wrapped in the middle, set off a bunch of fish, then played a colour bomb with a wrapped candy. Was able to finish in two more moves, including a hammer - it worked on the first try with this strategy.

(Also - if you have the helmet and don't win a level, you just shut down the app (not quitting the level) and it comes back with the full helmet)

Anonymous said...

The trick is to use the middle row that has the special candies. Your very first move will be on the left or right but after that, look at the conveyer top and bottom and use the stripes and/or wraps to activate the floats that will create the fish that will destroy the bombs. Let the fish do the work for you. Trust me, this will work.

Liz said...

Space dash and double cb makes it harder in my opinion as it releases all the bombs

Anonymous said...

Developers need to come up with something more original and get off the low countdown bombs. This game is really no fun any longer. May be time to leave...

Anonymous said...

Really King how am I supposed to pass this ridiculous level????

Unknown said...

The tip to ignore the bombs was a great one. I kept freaking out about them counting down and I wasn't getting anywhere. I played a few more times where I just concentrated on making combos in the middle and finally passed the level without any boosters.

Anonymous said...

I have played 606 about 12 times.. I never received any of the boosters!😡Also, I have never won the bonus wheel!

No way to treat your most valued players! Hate having to rely on boosters and lucky board instead of skill! Good luck all, guess i need the lucky board!

Got lucky board and still had to use 2 hammers! Not fun anymore and sometimes purchases don’t yield items. Customer support sucks!

I get 1 wrap in the middle column and no more after that so impossible to make combo's (iPad). A deliberate bug in my opinion, shame on you King!

level!! It doesn't even give you a chance with those bombs :(

Anonymous said...

What a stupid level.... Impossible the way it is.... I had 4 jelly left, spun the wheel, received 5 extra spins, and the fish ate the bombs instead of the four jelly! 🤬 Also for the person who said, they compleated it with eight moves left.... Ummmm, I only get eight moves to start with!!!

Dolce’ said...

Twice now I’ve won an hour of free play is not happening! What’s with that!

Monorma said...

The board changed to 8 moves and bombs with 3 countdown. I concentrated on the combos on the conveyor but often I just get solids on the middle or the fish ate the combo candies. In the best cases I had just 3 or 4 jelies left with the last movement, but impossible to match. Very frustrating.

It just got harder, latest update has locked the floats!!!!!
Can't see any way to pass this ridiculous level

Winnie Wee said...

Posting for luck. Board has changed from video. The flashing bombs make your eyes go crazy while trying to make any moves on the board, but maybe I can get lucky if I just close my eyes and pray that the fish do the trick!

Wth cc the fish go after the blockers not the bombs!!!

Wtf is this!!!?? 8 moves? Bombs on three?? Locked floats?? Crazy

This game is getting more and more annoying.

Teeay said...

I got this first time following Anna's advice about concentrating on combos rather than bombs after struggling for a while

Missy said...

I was stuck for so long then it was so easy to play. I came close so many times and then I won it. I think they changed it.

Anonymous said...

They don't want to scroll all the way back to level 1 and 606 and a guarantee win. 2000 is a 90% chance of winning that too.

Sultanate said...

Impossible level. so few moves. Bombs count 3. The floats are locked. Posting for luck

The instructions of Cookie are absolutely right, fishes are the answer. Be careful with your moves, don't waste any. With some patience it can be done.
By the way, 3165 is also quite difficult, and dull ... ;-)

HFP said...

I haven’t seen a board like the one in the video. That is a super lucky board. When I work in the middle, all the stripe/wraps are cleared the first time. Licorice blocks too. Not enjoyable.

Anonymous said...

My board has always got a Stripe then a solid, then another Stripe and another solid, and repeat the whole way down the column. All the strips are horizontal. The only way I can start the Horizontal Stripes is with a CB and use it on the color that has the most stripes.
When I do make the first hit (usually with 3 stripes) and floats are hit I am not getting ANY fish.
I am concentrating on the stripes in the middle column and ignoring the Bombs but the fish are not able to kill the countdown bombs in time.
With all the licorice I don't know how anyone could make a Wrap (to combine with a Stripe).
I'm going to play an easy level until I have a Golden Spaceship (2 CB, 2 Stripe/Wrap, 3 Xtra moves) and see if that will work.
Fingers crossed.

How do you restart the game without losing your helmet? Just shut it down before you play? I've never used this strategy but I'm about to because this level is killing me and my love of candy crush

Ridiculous level!!! Posting for luck please!

Anonymous said...

I tried all the suggestions including using the stocking plus extra fish from the regular boosters. I blew up the board and there were still many jelly and bombs left with no moves anywhere to make any combos. This level is pathetic with 57 jellies to hit in 8 moves. This level needs a major adjustment. :-( :-( :-(

Anonymous said...

Stuck here for a few days now. I need a lucky board. Have not even come close as the bombs explode on 3. How are you suppose to get all the jellies without a lucky board? Therefore, posting for a lucky board!

Robin said...

I'm with you. Is this level even possible? Even when I set off the fish they always leave one bomb that I can't get to. Help please?

I was wondering the same thing. How can you win with 8 moves left when you only get 8?

Hard level ! No impossible without a lucky board. After 3 or 4 goes there are no boosters coming up do I give in now ?

Brian said...

I am now convinced this is impossible without a lucky board. I only ever get 2moves with wraps etc in the middle column so how can I possibly do it. Have been playing saga for 5 years and never known a level like this I love a challenge but this is not even that only a lucky board will do it and even that would be hard. I don't want to pack in but am really frustrated now.

Brian said...

I'm convinced that this level is I impossible without a lucky board yes the answer is fish but never able to produce enough there's no fun or skill maybe its time to pack it in

skiq said...

Ridiculous. When are the developers going to realize tgat randomness is not fun. Meh. Terrible. Need luck.

skiq said...

BTW. I did 606 a bunch of times on Android and there is NO boosters when a level is already done. This is true for any level. Meh. Need luck.

I used the middle row as suggested above. Took several tries and some luck but got it. Thanks all.

LZS said...

Playing during the pandemic unlimited free play and can not do anything with this level. No where near enough moves, no consistency in center column, and the bombs. Can someone explain to me what the point of playing Level 606 is for boosters? I have gone back and done that and I am not getting any boosters. Does that episode have to be complete? Can’t get booster bot working either. I have never posted on this site for luck or otherwise, have never said, that’s it I am done...until this level. I do not see anyway to complete.

Maddy said...

I really don't understand King's strategy in how they develop the levels for this game. It seems that they are doing their best to get players so frustrated that they end up quitting the game all together. This level is a case in point. 8 moves with many bombs appearing at once all over the board with a countdown of 3??? The levels don't have to be totally simple, but they should be possible. Don't they want to keep players on board? Many of us do spend money for boosters. They are killing their own income stream with levels like this. I almost quit on 3151. This may be the one that does it. How do players stick with it up into 6000+ levels? There are probably only 6 people that have stuck with it that long. I'm mystified. We've all made it into the 3000s, but they don't seem to want to keep us.

Lb said...

Posting for luck! I have tried playing 606 to get boosters but I don't get anything? How do others get the extra boosters? I have played 5-10 games in a row and I am still the same with no extras. ....I don't understand? ???
Need a lucky board please!? Posting for luck! Good luck everyone!

TheSkipper said...

Make your 1st move on the side. Now you will have 2 striped at the top of the middle column. Bring the top one down to the bottom one. You will now have a striped at the top of the column and 2 wrapped at the bottom (if they don't blow up first). It's tempting, but don't do the 2 wrapped together. Make another move on the side somewhere. Now you should have a wrapped and striped at the top. Bring the wrapped down to the striped. Continue this pattern and there's a good chance you'll win. Sometimes things blow up before you get a chance to use them, but just try again. Hope this helps.

Unknown said...

This is ridiculous. Once again, no skill, just have to wait for the perfect board

have gotten it down to one jelly 4 times, popped a fish spawner in each, and the fish refuse to take the jelly. I know they have a lot like this but this is such an arbitrary "level" where the game gets to decide if you win....it's frustrating at best.
