Candy Crush Saga Level 5438 Tips and video

Hints and tips showing how to pass level 5438 Candy Crush Saga without boosters by Cookie Since the developers are releasing 45 or more levels each week I will not be able to write tips for every level. By now you should be expert at most challenges. I will post videos for every level and write tips where I think they are needed but otherwise please feel free to give your tips in the comments.
This level has been made harder as red candies have been added since the video was made.

Tip: Collecting all the keys will release the licorice and you don't really want this. Try to just collect the first key to unlock the spawners so that you can start to clear them and leave the others. The remaining keys will be collected as you play but concentrate on hitting the spawners.

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 on our FB group and I will try to change it.

Very difficult level. If there is only one spawner left do not hesitate and use use the hammer. Good luck

Still Here said...

So the developers really want to start making the levels impossible, huh. Terrible terrible level

Patty123 said...

Started with boosters, destroyed 2 spawners, won 5 extra moves, used a hand switch to get a combo for #3, but still needed 3 hammers to get rid of the last one. Very hard level.

Only a few games in and already stuck

HFP said...

Any idea on how many times we have to hit each spawner? That’s what I hate about them, lack of consistency

Zookman said...

I counted three hits per spawner

3 days on this level and I’m ready to throw my iPad against the wall. This has to be the worst level ever. The spawners take a million hits to get rid of. Got 3 down and couldn’t get the fourth even with 5 extra moves and boosters. I even tried a check..no idea why it’s even available since it didn’t give me what I needed to collect..just colored candy..so wasted that booster as well as all the others. It might be time to hang it up for awhile. I need to win a booster lottery to get through this...I don’t even think a lucky board will even do it. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( it. :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-i :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :- ( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

Don’t understand why this is not categorized as a hard level. Spawners need a lot more than 3 hits. Boring and frustrating. Based on above comments, don’t want to waste space ship or check mark.

Sharda said...

Help

Helen said...

Rediculous if not impossible level, hard enough to hit spawners without liquorice blocking hits, totally had enough of this game!

Jewel Shaw said...

I NEED HELP!

Unknown said...

To get to this level you must have endured a lot worse. I does get boring when you are stuck on one level for too long. Just keep on trying you will get there in the end. I agree the spawners take a lot of hits.

Anonymous said...

WE SHOULD QUIT THIS GAME NOW.
NO FUN, JUST BOREDOM AND WASTE OF TIME.
UNBELIEVABLE FRUSTRATION.

Carrie722 said...

Yeah, and it just gets worse. They throw in a couple doable levels and then spoil it all with the ridiculous levels.

Anonymous said...

This is not a game anymore, it’s just a pain in the ass.

Anonymous said...

Exactly how many times do you need to hit the spawners before they disappear???? Ridiculous level. I need a lucky board please king.

Unknown said...

posting for luck. I agree with Ina.

kate said...

this is impossible. tried so many times but cant get the spawners, how do you hit them . need help OR lucky board

Tammy Caison said...

Keep leaving 1 spawner. 5 hits it more on spawners. Pfl

Nana said...

Posting for a lucky board please,so near and yet so far

CG said...

Days! Days! The most I've gotten rid of is two spawners! Pfl puh lease!

Anonymous said...

And another asinine level from asinine king.

kiting_in_paradise said...

Don't bother wasting boosters at the start. You'll just wipe out the keys and release the licorice sooner. It took me six tries but got a good board and only had to use one hammer at the end.

Unknown said...

Pissed off with these ridiculous levels. Had enough.

Unknown said...

Come on, these levels are purely luck and lots if stressful, wasted time. Lucky board is what I need. Thanks!

JanJan said...

Marwanjo said...

The fun to play is far away from reality. To be notice, that’s what CC. They never learn. They still think they are the best. Well cc mabey by beginners, but old players blocked this game like I did.

Kris said...

CandyCrush , do you want my blood to clear this level? How much money should I give you ? You’re not playing fair with this level , losing a good customer , this is rediculous .

Nellebel said...

Onmogelijk spel. AUB help mij.

Carole said...
