Level 211... digging moves level with super dirt

uh i just played this round and i think black jewels drop in as you play. but i'm not 100% sure anymore. but more straightforward digging, try not to make wasteful moves. that is all :)

Level 212... timed glass level with a snake, stone jewels, and crates

http://i42.tinypic.com/2zfl7bm.png

those stone jewels already look like a pain and guess what else is a pain. DOOM JEWELS!! argh, they drop in and have 30 seconds on its timer. as if i don't have enough to worry about on this board. only tried it once just to test out the level, but i have a feeling this one might take awhile. i guess the joy ride is over. but still need to try it some more to get a better handle of it. and you definitely need to **** the snake and get through the crates to get through the glass since those stone jewels will prevent you from breaking the glass if they're sitting in it.

it's A LOT of fun!! lots of blasters and bombs. i really loved boneyard desert and i got through the levels with ease, so it felt nice to not stress out too much. some of the levels took me a couple tries, but so fun :)

I really like the digging ones in general, and the Super Dirt, while having a silly name, is pretty fun. I just got to Misty Mountain, hurray!

this level is a bit tricky to make blasters but i was able to get really close almost each time i tried the level. each time i just needed one extra move to pass, using gold to get extra moves was really really tempting!! but i still like this level even though it's tougher than the other digging levels with super dirt

This level is a bit hard to get the Blasters and Bombs you need, especially if you have that clump of Unbreakable Jewels at the bottom. I was so close a couple times, but just couldn't get the Special jewels that I needed. The Blaster + Bomb works wonders on this level though (as with all Super Dirt levels, haha). It is a fun one though, I agree with you there!

i also love the blaster + bomb combo. sometimes i have to choose between using that or a diamond and in these super dirt levels, if there the blaster + bomb is in a good position, i'll use that and sacrifice the diamond, since it's more effective. but i really hate when diamonds go to waste.

Level 214... timed fire level with snakes and crates

http://i44.tinypic.com/2ufeujk.png

my strategy for this level was to target the snakes first. once you get rid of them, it opens up the board and it makes getting rid of the fire much easier. remember, if you only **** one snake head, the entire U-shape body of the snake will remain until you **** the other snake head. which means you still can't use the bottom middle area of the board. after the snakes are gone, you can quickly get rid of the fire in the middle and also work on getting rid of all the crates so that you can more easily target the fires on the left and right sides.

also as you are playing, you will probably make matches around the very top crates on the left side and the right side. once those crates disappear, the fire is exposed and is free to spread, so try to avoid making matches around those crates until you get rid of the snakes.
if you make blasters in the middle area, the fire won't extinguish in the center unless you blast both columns consecutively. so i'd reserve blasters for the snake heads. the walls/dividers also make it tricky to predict where the jewels will fall into place.

the snakes are a bit tricky to get rid of, but you must so that you can move down. the black jewels that are on the sides on top will just move down but aren't that much of a problem so far. haven't passed it yet. i always get really good rounds the first 2 tries and then after that it goes downhill. so hopefully i'll move on by tonight.

this level is actually a lot harder than it looks. the holes on the board make it difficult to create special jewels which is essential to break the super dirt. i've gotten close to the bottom but not every time. even if i move fast, there aren't a lot of good moves to make. will keep going at it today.

Level 211... digging moves level with super dirt

uh i just played this round and i think black jewels drop in as you play. but i'm not 100% sure anymore. but more straightforward digging, try not to make wasteful moves. that is all :)

i just want to point out that every time you play this level, there will be the same 4-blue jewels that is at the start screen of the board. which gives you the opportunity to create a horizontal blaster so that you can blast through the first layer of super dirt. so it will always be blue-colored and placed in the same exact spot in the middle right above the dirt. but before you make and use that blaster, i'd advise you to look for any other special jewel making opportunity and create it. because as soon as you blast the 1st layer of super dirt, the board will move down and it will have a smaller area of jewels for you to work with. thus, less opportunities to make special jewels, which you will need to dig down through the super dirt. so any special jewels that you create (as long as they're not sitting in the very top rows), you'll be able to use on the next layer of super dirt.

212 is just impossible to clear all 10 stone jewels in the time allotted. i have got 3 stars numerous times and i still have at least 2 stone jewels remaining. i have even had my wife clear the left side stone jewels while i do he right.. still impossible to pass. frustration seeping in����

anybody have any useful tips for 212. i have tried everything to no avail. have been stuck here for a week:(

what i would do is try to get rid of that snake as quickly as possible. so either create a vertical blaster, or bomb + blaster combo near it so **** the head. or just make a match around its head. then focus on breaking the crates at the same time. once you clear the barriers to the glass on both sides, you need to try to get rid of as many stone jewels as possible. so turn them into special jewels. or if you can manage to move them around by making matches, thereby breaking the glass that a stone jewel was sitting in, that's great too. you also get lots of opportunities to make blasters/bombs that didn't involve a stone jewel in the making of it, and you'll find that combining them won't do you any good because stone jewels are sitting in the glass. so take your time to make smart moves once you are working on breaking the glass. because you have to focus on getting rid of stone jewels, or moving them out of the way. hope this makes sense/helps...

Phaedrakiki
06-12-13, 11:43 AM
In order to get a head-start on ****ing the snake, you could make sure you start with a move that does just that. If you don't see a match to your snake eyes when you start the level, hit pause, then the restart arrow. It shouldn't take an energy if you don't touch anything. Looks like a horizontal move against the crates would give a little "head start", as well. It's not much, but when time is a factor, lol...

dantelamaze
06-13-13, 06:35 AM
wow just had a heck of a time logging it today. Just wanted to thank you both for the tips. Phaedrakki the tip you gave I used quite often unless I couldn't wait anymore for the reds to line up. And aileeniweeni making smart moves is key on this level I agree. For the people stuck on this level please follow their great advice.

So funny thing is my last attempt at this level I decided to follow both of your advice. I started with Phaedrakki's tip about restarting till you get the reds to line up. I did this a few times but I had to restart the game over 40 times per attempt. So I gave up and just started when I had a good match up with the crates. Half way through I got a blaster and took out the snake. So on to aileeniweeni's tip: moving smart. Funny thing is though this time I created bomb + blaster combo and it took out and created 3 matches with stone jewels. I look to the bottom and see 1 remaining with 50 seconds on clock.......

I work it, work it, but no matches coming in the far right corner...down to 10 seconds and ready to quit but keep going....down to 4 seconds...keep going....then at 1-2 seconds left finally raised the stone jewel and made another match to pass the level.

I had way better rounds but sometimes it's luck and patience that carries you through :rolleyes: :o

Good mantra, dantelamaze! I'm almost to Misty Mountain--stuck on 210 at the moment. Would def like to borrow your words for when frustration sets in (if you don't mind, lol!) Glad my tip helped you (well, sorta!) I know exactly what you mean about it sometimes taking too many restarts to get the "optimal" starting condition...whether it's a snake-clearing move, a flush/flat match against crates, a horizontal match against dirt, etc. That tip has helped me beat many levels...but sometimes I pass when I say "Oh, forget it!" and play with whatever random board, too. ;) Hopefully you've moved on from 214 and are enjoying yourself on a faraway island!

Level 211: Dig 12 meters in 60 moves (5 JC's used.) They've added 5 moves since Aileeniweenie's photo post, which was nice. I thought it was lots of fun to play! I actually passed on my first attempt, but I think I got very lucky that round. It's a straightforward super-dirt digging level. But be sure to heed Aileeni's tip (http://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?52119-Misty-Mountain-Levels-211-216/page2&p=656512#post656512) about the blue 4-jewel match at the beginning, cuz the board really does shrink after that. As prev described, black jewels fall occasionally, but they didn't trip me up during my round...

Level 212: 18 glass in 2:25 (5 JC's.) Looks like they added :05 to the clock (every bit helps!) but this level has SO much going on! The unbreakable/stone jewels are ****er in this...they sink to the bottom and it's very tough trying to clear or move them. There are so many! I've tried this level 15+ times; I usually only break 9, 10, 11/18 glass. I actually got down to 1 glass once, but I'm not sure how! Unfortunately there were no moves in sight to clear that last glass as the clock ran down. Errggh! BTW, there's no glass-breaking boost to tempt you inside the game. Wonder why? :confused: Anyway, you have to get thru the crates & **** the snake pronto, to allow as much time as possible to work on the stone jewels. Of course you have to watch for the doom jewels, too. But they aren't too bad on this level; I've been able to clear them nearly every round (whew!) This one is tough. It would be fantastic if there was more time on the clock, but I know others have done it (so hopefully I can?) I'm still gonna cross my fingers for more time, as well as a lucky board with easy-to-clear/move stone jewels!

Level 212 is so difficult! the stone jewels are driving me crazy--there are so many of them! And it's so hard to accept the fact that special jewels & combos are no help at all!

Can someone please help me? How did you pass this? I've been trying to clear the stone jewels if I can, or even just move them out of the way. But when you get to the bottom, you're just swapping one stone jewel for another--so the glass doesn't break. I posted earlier that I got down to one glass once, but that seems impossible now. Did I imagine it, lol? Cuz I think it would take another minute or more to actually clear all the glass in this level... Am I missing something here? Help!!

Phaedrakiki
06-26-13, 04:58 PM
I seriously do not know how to get through level 212. There are so many unbreakable/stone jewels...impossible to clear them all or move them from the glass in 2:25. I assume others have done it--but how? Help!!!

06-26-13, 05:17 PM
sounds like you are doing all the right things in 212 Phaedrakiki! 212 is definitely a tough one but eventually doable. just focus on breaking through the crates and once you clear those out, slow down when you get to the stone jewels. you have to manipulate the jewels so you can either move the stones out of the way or turn them into special jewels. i know this one took me awhile. but when i focused on the stone jewels, i look at the jewels that are around any of the stone jewels and try to move them so i would create shapes to turn them into blasters or bombs. or just plain move them out of the way. i also didn't spend too much time on the snake head, unless i had to. i found that i eventually made a blaster/bomb to get rid of it just by focusing on the crate area. you'll get it soon i know it!

i'm currently stuck on the 1st level of mermaid shore. the time got reduced again! lol

Huh, I just re-read this thread--new tips were already added for 212! Oops! I also didn't realize the level dantelamaze posted about was 212. Sorry! Well, at least now I know I'm not the only one who's had trouble with it. Unfortunately, I'm already doing the "right things" according to advice in this thread. Guess I just have to keep at it, make smarter moves, and hope for that one-in-a-million lucky round. Plus, I need to use that "luck & patience" mantra now that deep frustration has set in! :'(

Well, I passed 212, but only by pushing the extra time button (2x.) I got a reshuffle after my first move, which pulled the stone jewels off the bottom...making it a little easier. I hauled-bootie 'til I got down to the last few stone jewels, then focused on "smart" vs. speed. When I realized I had a shot at actually clearing all the glass, I spent the gold to add time. I still had some from my "210 splurge." I figured I'd accidentally spend it eventually, so why not spend it when it would actually help? I "*****ed" again, but I was so frustrated by this one. Hopefully they will add some time to this level and I can play it again to pass for real. (Now I gotta keep watch on 210 & 212's clocks so I can redo; soon as those timers increase, haha!) ;)

Lots of advice in this thread, but let me agree with Aileeniweeni/OpeningCeremony about the snake. Prior to playing the level, I thought it might be helpful to start with a snake-clearing move (like I mentioned to dantelamaze.) But it's really not necessary...the hardest part of this level is the stone jewels. Sure, the snake, crates, & doom jewels have to be dealt with. But if you just make special jewels and combos, you'll pretty much wipe out the snake and the rest in that process. Then follow the other advice--hopefully you'll pass much faster than me! ;) Good luck!

Level 213: Dig 10 meters in 55 moves (5 JC's.) Took me 3 tries to pass this, as it does get tough to make/use special jewels (in the right spots.) My last round was lucky--I had tons of diamonds. Did at least 3 diamond + blaster combos, plus some other "stuff." That was fun! So wonderful not being on the clock. Not gonna last though--next one is timed fire (yikes!)

Now stuck on 214 can't seem to get that second snake head. Haven't even had a chance to attack the fire yet. (...) :eek:

I can relate--same here!
Level 214: 14 fire in 1:15 (5 JC's.) This level is tough--those walls make it really difficult to make the blasters/special jewels needed to **** the snakes. Aileeniweeni/Opening Ceremony's strategy sounds perfect--if only I could execute, lol! That fire moves quite fast once you break thru the crates. Use caution (but not too much--not enough time on the clock to mess around!)

I think I need a break--my frustration level is still too high after the last timed level. Tried this 3 times and only got one snakehead. Plus, I had gold stolen at end of 2nd round-- knew that would happen! Not having fun, so I better play something else for awhile!

Phaedrakiki
06-27-13, 08:08 PM
I guess there's no denying--I'm a total Jewel Mania addict. Couldn't stay away! Worked out for me, though...got a really lucky board on my next attempt at 214. I was kinda just going through the motions, thinking (rather pessimistically, now that I think about it!) that I'd fail again. But I lined up a blaster with a snakehead just a few moves in. Then I made a diamond & swapped it with a blaster right after! That took out the other snake and a great deal of the fire. After that, I had to swipe like crazy, but there were nice convenient matches near all the flames. Couldn't believe it! I actually beat the challenge (under 50 seconds or something.) I'm so glad...thought I'd be stuck a long time. WOW, that was unexpected! I need to re-learn the lesson that you never know when that lucky board will come. I'm sorry...looking back at my recent posts, I've been quite the complainer! My apologies...!

I'm working on Level 215 now, and it's SO much fun! Dig 11 meters in 50 moves (5 JC's.) Tried it a couple times, and it's a special jewel/combo extravaganza! Got 10/11 once, so I know I'm on the right path. Can't waste moves on this one, and gotta get the right board. As prev mentioned, the snakes are hard-to-reach, have to line up a blaster just-so or use diamonds/combos. Very fun--and at my own pace! :D

Unused energy? Sacrilege! ;) Hope you're enjoying whatever you're busy with, and that you pass 271 soon! I'm enjoying 215, but I may be here awhile, too. The super dirt and hard-to-reach snakeheads really eat up the moves!

06-28-13, 03:18 AM
Passed 215, but only one star. I'll come back and try for more when I need a "frustration break" next time I'm stuck on a timed level. ;) 215 was fun to play, but took a lot of attempts to get the right opportunities (for super dirt & especially snakes!) A good way to **** the snakes is a horiz blaster detonated in the same row. Or diamonds, if you can make them. Enjoy! ~ :)

Level 216: Dig 9 meters in 2:55 (5 JC's.) I tried it once with my only energy left & only made it halfway. Hopefully will do better tomorrow. Good luck to you!

06-28-13, 06:09 PM
Having difficulty with 216--there's a "bottleneck" of sorts around the 5-meter mark. At least I've "seen" the finish line. I just need to get that perfect board that'll let me pass. Patience & luck...to borrow dantelamaze's mantra! ;)

It's also important to note that on levels such as 211, you don't always have to dig through all of the super dirt. I was able to get a couple of squares cleared and then as I kept making matches in the regular dirt area, it dropped the last few super dirts down below the goal level.

Hi kudukuda, how far are you getting on 214? Are you able to get rid of the snakes? In reading Aileeniweeni's strategy (http://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?52119-Misty-Mountain-Levels-211-216/page2&p=641021#post641021) and my own comments about the level, that seems to be the primary focus...then moving on to the various combos, etc. to get all the fire out. Vertical blasters are great for those snakes (made from horizontal 4-matches.) That clock is so short--no fun, huh? Wish you the best of luck! :)

But it's really not necessary...the hardest part of this level is the stone jewels. Sure, the snake, crates, & doom jewels have to be dealt with. But if you just make special jewels and combos, you'll pretty much wipe out the snake and the rest in that process. Then follow the other advice--hopefully you'll pass much faster than me! ;) Good luck!

I know it has been months since anyone that posts here was on this level(212) but it still seems pretty much impossible. If I even get close then there is one stone jewel that there is no way of making matches or moving..then the time runs out...sigh

I can relate--same here!
Level 214: 14 fire in 1:15 (5 JC's.) This level is tough--those walls make it really difficult to make the blasters/special jewels needed to **** the snakes. Aileeniweeni/Opening Ceremony's strategy sounds perfect--if only I could execute, lol! That fire moves quite fast once you break thru the crates. Use caution (but not too much--not enough time on the clock to mess around!)

I think I need a break--my frustration level is still too high after the last timed level. Tried this 3 times and only got one snakehead. Plus, I had gold stolen at end of 2nd round-- knew that would happen! Not having fun, so I better play something else for awhile!

Lol I see you passed 214 so that gives me a little hope. Ughhh having a tough time with it tho. Sure could use a little more time.

Lol I posted to you then went and tried once more and got thru 214 with 2 stars..and that is good enough for me :-)

I'm battling 214 now. I know it's doable as I did get it down to three fires, but it's quite a task beheading those hissmeisters. Waiting for that perfect combo.

After an energy charge overnight, I played all five on Level 214, without success. Tired of being out of energy, and there being a sale on, I bought 250 bars for $6.99, and continued to play. After several refills I got to within a few flames of success. So, I bought 15 for 33 - three times (or more)! Success, but down to 38 gold! Two stars only, but I'll take it.

It was great to get to 215, a moves level, but the respite was brief as I did it on the first attempt.

216 is interesting, despite being timed. Got close on the first attempt, but nowhere near on subsequent ones so far.

Koetsub, you're addicted (like me, lol!) If you haven't already, check out some of the other "Mania" games. I really enjoy Candy Blast Mania & Fruit Splash Mania. They're both moves-only, so they're stress-free (regarding timers, anyway.) Bubble Mania doesn't have timed levels, either btw. That way when your energy runs out, you can switch over to another game, and play those energies (while JM charges...) Plus, you get "challenge keys" for downloading, which eventually lead to gold or gems in your games. Worth checking out if you haven't...

I can tell you feel compelled to rush through the levels (been there, for sure! Actually, been wanting to hurry to the next JM level since I started--a long time! I'm not like that right now, though. I'm stuck on an impossible-to-play level, at least without using gold. So I'm stuck on level 520--maybe forever, if they don't change something...)

Phaedrakiki, I guess you could say I'm addicted, but at least I only spend money going from one island to another....but after I do there is that extra gold sitting there while I'm out of energy, and sometimes I'm weak and succumb to the temptation....I must be strong and resist!

I don't need any more addictive games, so staying away from the rest. Sorry TL, no moolah from me there.

I finally made it through Level 216 this morning, bought gold, and went to 217. Sigh! Another timed level! However, nothing complicated, but I imagine that the only way to do it is with blaster/bomb combos as it's time-consuming. I don't know if I feel compelled to rush through the levels; I just hate being on one level too long.
