Candy Crush Level 158 Video

Level 158 is an ingredients level, one of five level types in Candy Crush Saga. Your objective is to 10,000 points in 20 moves while bringing down the ingredient. 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.

I don't understand how to reset?
Amber Morey's avatar
If you first hit "play" and don't like the board, go back to the main page before making any moves, it won't waste a life and you can click on the level again for a new board...hope that makes sense! :)
Sandy's avatar
you can't on a normal computer,these tips assume EVERYONE owns an ipad/iphone
Sherri Trunk's avatar
Doesnt work if you are on computer!!
John W's avatar
You can ONLY reset on your mobile !
suhail's avatar
that level is one of the most hard
alisa's avatar
I don't have a gold tab on mine, all I have is a red button and it says "you will lose a life" on it..I can't go back, because when I try, the back is faded and you can't click on it...now what? I don't want to lose my lives either, that sucks.
Sherri Trunk's avatar
YUP. You will lose a life everytime. That tip is for ipads and phones only!
Sue's avatar
I am stuck! I hate this level!
Sherri Trunk's avatar
Yup!!Me too! im on a PC. I can not reset the board like they say. I WILL lose a life!!!!!
emacco's avatar
How come I never get a slam-dunk board like you do in your videos? If I did I wouldn't need to come here!
Sherri Trunk's avatar
EXACTLY!!!! They say clear the licorice first! DUH!!! If we could we would!!!!
Wanda G's avatar
All I have is a red button in the lower left corner that says I will lose a life if I exit.
Sherri Trunk's avatar
Yes, you will lose a life everytime you exit. Unless you are on an ipad or phone which isnt fair!!!
chanly chua's avatar
how to go back into the main page using lp?
Nancy Fiedler's avatar
so ...are we consigned to this level forever without the 'reset' button? or go to our phones (if we have them And can figure out how to transfer game level)

YET ANOTHER STUPID ASS LEVEL... EXACTLY WHY THOUSANDS ARE QUITTING CANDY CRUSH
BCSOB's avatar
If the chocolates reach the top row, is it at all possible to win this game? I can't generate horizontal stripes fast enough on the left side to clear the chocolates being generated on the right side, and horizontals only clear one row at a time. I'm finding it impossible to beat this level.
Nan3rd's avatar
Oh my gawd, didn't think I'd ever get past this level! Crazy hard! If on a iPad/phone, just keep resetting until you have a slight chance! Good luck!
Steve Bentley's avatar
Are there any actual, real, effective....... Non-'sell your soul, or buy power-ups' cheats for people who play the game on a pc/laptop?? Or, as I surmise, this..... like a lot of levels, are designed to force the player into parting with cash, however skilful they might be???
jeff brave's avatar
Cannot reset on a PC without losing a life. This level is driving me crazy. Even the others that I found to be hard, at least I knew what I was supposed to be doing. This one! Ha! Chocolate and more chocolate keeps coming. I get nothing on the right side! This is the worst!!! Kathie not Jeff
colin's avatar
you leep saying reset reset reset ... but thats not for pc .... give some tips for this level on a pc for god sake
Marie Maloney's avatar
I have reset and it doesn't help. The chocolate on my board always grows up to block me never down like on yours!!!
jeannie's avatar
It's a shame to come this far and then quit but this level is awful. I guess it's just luck. The cheats are impossible to follow and not helpful at all.

I guess I got lucky on this board. Second attempt. First move I was able to form a colour bomb and a striped side by side. Second move set them off, leaving the cherry 1 row from the bottom, and a striped/wrapped side by side on the left. 1 row too high to clear the bottom right but nothing else on so set them off anyway on the 3rd move. This left 2 vertical striped candies one above the other on the bottom right. Swapped these on the 4th move, hoping the bottom one would turn horizontal. It did! Cleared in 4 moves. That's what I call luck! Only 1 star though.
Eieiei's avatar
Yes, that is the only way to do this level - wait until you have big luck. What a rotten level, the other two before played so well...
Vernetta Hughes's avatar
Reset (without losing a life) works on Kindle Fire HD.
Ramsey Mitchell's avatar
Thanks for the tips. Finally made it through the level easily. I never knew you could reset the boards and working the right side was the key.
Scott Hannigan's avatar
If you can't do this level my advice is to throw all your toys out of the pram, then come to a site like this one and write in capitals about how unfair everything is. It achieves heaps. Now I'll just sit back and wait for the flood of fuming responses to come in.
Marco M's avatar
That's nice.
Scott Hannigan's avatar
Ok so I've just finished this level. My advice is if you are playing on a device that allows you to reject an opening board do it, and keep doing it, until you have one that allows you to get rid of at least one of the trapped candies on the right side in the first move. No matter how enticing the right side looks, reject it if you can't free those trapped candies in the first move.
Marco M's avatar
ON PC you need to have a lot of boosters. The chocolate muncher and the Non Parel and even the donut. I almost made it several times but then used all my boosters.
Santie vd Merwe's avatar
I am going to say goodbye to Csaandy Crush and all because of level 158. That is how I feel!! No matter how many times I reset or how many good boards I get, I cannot finish it
Sandeep Pattanaik's avatar
Its a hard label. I complete it with take my friend's help after 7 days. You need just one perfect board. Have patience folks :) You badly need a wheel candy.
Remy LeBeau's avatar
This level is the most unfair so far by far. I guess it does what they want, get the suckers to buy moves, or just say fu* it and quit playing, so I am going with the later.
Angela Mary Hudson's avatar
can't reset on PC so all wasted games. Tried 2 colour combos but both on the left, and no moves on the right... just waiting for a board with a couple of moves on the right before the chocolate takes over! Help!
Angela Mary Hudson's avatar
Also can I ask why it says "You got a life from Sue and 5 other people, but I only get ONE LIFE!!! How come?
Dave Norris's avatar
I finally beat the thing by using the lollipops I had saved up!
