Candy Box 2
It's baaaaaaaaaaaaack... aniwey's smash-hit original webtoy/wonder machine gets a sequel with even more content to discover. Allow this little game to run by itself in another tab or window and you'll quickly discover that there's a lot more to it than just a rising number of candies.

Third squirrel riddle reads:
Here's the riddle :
In an ancient forest grows a very old tree, on which live the most
intelligent animals in this world. It is said that this tree has 60
roots, 360 branches and 2160 leaves.
How many marks can you find on its trunk?
I have tried
entering 1296000, since it seems that the answer should be 60 to the power of 4/10, but no :\
Aha! The answer to that is a lot simpler.
The squirrel is being vain... he's talking about himself when he says "the most intelligent animal in the world"! Therefore, he's talking about HIS tree, and the information about leaves and branches doesn't matter. Just count the marks on the tree trunk when you're talking to him. For me, it was ten. I don't know if it varies.
@Silent George the answer is
"C" (without quotes), just read it backwards, it's candies!
and if anyone is stuck in the next one
just enter the number of candies you have at that moment
it's so addicting, even better than the first one, things go way faster here, there's almost no need to grind for candies
Anyone figured out how to brew an X Potion yet?
I'm thinking that maybe the "cold" and "Warm" clues might indicate you have to follow a bunch of steps while the pot is heating up. The selection boxes clear periodically if you do that, though, which makes me think that might not be right.
I also can't seem to do anything of use in any of the rooms of the castle or the fortress. I think I need to find a
Pogo stick
Hi ashiel! You can either pay candies to unlock the save function and load your old file, or load using these links (depending on what slot your game was saved in):

To get more than one candy per second
Advance the game until you find the Candy Farm (clear the desert). When you have a sufficient number of lollipops (in the realm of 10-20,000 if I recall correctly) you'll be able to build a candy mill. Feeding lollipops to the candy mill permanently increases your candy/sec each time you do it.
Lighthouse riddle:
The object of the puzzle is to get an asterisk onto the ?? block so you can click it.
You can add asterisks with the heart blocks. They'll add asterisks to neighboring blocks so you can click them some more.
Try to get two heart blocks next to each other. You can click them back and forth to "charge" blocks next to them.
Some blocks cause rows and columns of blocks to move. Use heart blocks to charge those blocks and then move blocks to the heart to charge them up.
After a while you'll be able to keep the puzzle going indefinitely. Then you can just keep going until you manage to arrange the pieces so you can get an asterisk on the ?? block.
It's hard to describe! Once you get two
heart blocks next to each other
you should be able to finish the puzzle by experimentation without starting over.
So I need help with the caves:
How do I beat the monkey?
How do I beat the Octopus?
The Octopus is just too strong.
The monkey just jumps over me and then I have very little chance of doing something (only if teleport takes me to the correct place and I use a turtle and then fireball, but I manage to hit him max 2 times with the fireball before I eventually die
Hi icvotria,
ideally, you need the feather (got from killing a bird in the desert) and the pogo stick (found in the mountains to the right of the caves by clicking on the asterisk) which allows you to jump around in case you get stuck. You want to end up in the last tunnel below the area with all the enemy tribesmen (the shaft to the right of them). I don't know if you have to have killed them first.
Wow, figured out the X potion on the first try...talk about dumb luck. :) To make an X potion:
Add one candy, boil then immediately stop (so the water is cold). Do this 3 more times so you have added a total of 4 candies. Add one lollipop, then boil until the water is hot, then stop. Put into bottles. Tada!
Now to find out what this puppy does!
For the hole:
To get out of the area of the hole with the chest that you had to squeeze through, just use a teleport potion. That'll restart you at the top of the hole.
For the top room of the castle:
That one's tricky. You'll need a pogo stick and two antigravity potions. Basically, you need to jump and use an antigravity potion, then do that again in the middle of the room. It also seems like you can jump off the top of some of the eggs. Also, if you jump and activate the potion too late, you'll end up on top of the chest, with no way of opening it. In this case, you'll have to try again, making sure to jump earlier
Also, no one asked this yet, but for the right room of the desert fort:
How do you get to the chest way up there? Build a staircase.
You can build a staircase by cloning yourself with the clone potion. I think you'll need about 50; might as well bring some extra, just in case
Ok... I'm stuck. I'm going to try to spoiler this, but I can't think of the best way to arrange it. Bear with me, please!
Village
Have purchased everything available. Have killed rats, tried playing video game, got to 5th level; no reward.
Bridge
Have killed the troll multiple times. No club.
Sorceress
Have purchased both spellbooks. nothing else for sale yet.
Cave
Have made it through cave, can't manage to kill either the monkey or the octopus.
Farm
Planted lollipops, bought mill, bought pond (16 gators)
Desert
Camels and birds are no issue.
Tree
Won tic tac toe. Nothing else to do, I don't think.
Forest
Wolves kill me. The one time I got past the wolves, some sort of tree looking thing hit me with a death ray.
Lighthouse
Cyclops gives the same answers to the same four questions. There doesn't appear to be access to the lighthouse yet.
Undersea
Can't get past the laser-equipped seahorses.
Mountains
I have the pogo stick. It didn't help in the forest or with either of the cave "bosses".
Wishing Well
I have red and pink gloves. Boots and armor won't enchant, for some reason.
Am I missing something obvious? Do I just need to keep banging my head against the ones I haven't beaten yet?
@CrankYanker
I'm not sure why you didn't drop a club. Have you double checked the weapon drop-down menu? Aside from that I'm fairly certain that you should be able to purchase the Cauldron in the sorceress' house. After doing that you can craft several potions, including Health potions.
Equiping armor and the pink gloves, and healing yourself with Health potions, you should be able to beat the Octopus. If not, boost your max health by eating candies. Using the gear it drops, you should be able to beat the Monkey and then the forest.
For upgrades:
Once you upgrade a piece of equipment you can go got the normal version again.(eg. once you upgrade your gloves the shopkeeper will sell you another pair.) You can thus get both upgrades for items that have two.
For the bottom castle room:
Unequip your weapon and any other damaging equipment so you don't break any eggs and the creature won't get mad at you.
I've beaten most of the game, but I'm missing a few items. Anyone able to help?
I'm missing the item to the right of the pogo stick and the first two items in the 4th row. I've beaten the Developer and Hell, opened the candy box too. I still can't unlock the second house in town, so I assume one of these is a key.
I can easily say
there's no second key implimented yet, only one house is unlocked
I haven't been able to beat the first video game (the 10 one) haven't found the right combo of moves.
there's a total of 3 shark fins
the two items in the second from the bottem row are two items you get from the castle near the desert
and for the item ot the right of the pogostick
if you go through the caves you'll see arrows on the left and right etc... follow them
The only thing I could by from sorceress is a cauldron. I guess she should sell grimoire, but she doesn't. After I buy cauldron, there's no more usable items in her house.
Am I doing something wrong?
Gone through cave, took two chests in the hole, got into castle, can't beat the developer, can't go through hell, can't get through castle room with spikes, can't do anything with dark room.
Stuck :(
SirNiko's post was great and helped me solved it but just for even more details; Lighthouse / Cyclops puzzle:
To get the puzzle you should go in the castle and go up the stairs. The dragon will ask you for what you seek and if you reply "candies", he will point you to the cyclops near the lighthouse
General rules:
-
The hashes ( # ) are energy points. There can be up to 5 on a tile. Every click on a tile uses one energy point to use its specific power.
-
The arrows ( T V < > ) are a energy transporters. When you click on a tile with one of them, one energy point will be sent to an undiscovered tile in the direction of the arrow. If there are several arrows, the priority will go from left to right, and from top to bottom. If every arrow point to discovered tiles, clicking the tile will just make the energy point disappear for nothing.
-
The special arrows ( --> ) are column and row movers. You can differentiate them because they are longer than regular arrows. The orientation and direction the big arrow is pointing towards indicate the movement the tiles will have. On the special arrow tile will also be a smaller, regular one. This one indicates WHICH column or row will be influenced. For example, a special arrow tile with a small V means the row under it will be moved.
-
The hearts ( <3 ) are energy creators. When you click on them, one energy point is given to every discovered tile directly in contact with it (not diagonally). If a heart tile is next to another tile, they can create an infinite amount of energy.
-
The goal ( ? ? ) is the final tile you need to put energy on. Once you give it even one # and click on it, you win the puzzle.
Partial walkthrough:
Here are the first steps that definitely give you a correct start. C is the starter tile. + are discovered tiles. Dots are undiscovered ones. ? is the goal. Numbers are the order you should click on. I broke it up in several diagrams:
Click on the center to begin.
. . . . . . ?
. . . 2 3 . .
. . . C + . .
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . .
Click on the center again, twice.
. . . . . . ?
. . . + + . .
. . + C 3 . .
. . . . + . .
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . ?
. . . + + . .
. . + C 1 3 .
. . . . . 2 .
. . . . . . .
. . . . . . ?
. . . + + 5 4
. . + C 1 + 3
. . . . . . 2
. . . . . . .
At this point you should already have an infinite energy pool with the two adjacent hearts. Charge all the nearby tiles to the max.
. . + . . . ?
. . 2 + + + +
. . 1 C + + +
. . . . . . +
. . . . . . .
Using the row mover, get the bottom tile under the heart and charge it. Then get it on the far left.
4 5 + . . . ?
3 . + + + + +
2 . + C + + +
1 . . . . . .
. . . . . . .
+ + + . . . ?
+ + + + + + +
+ 3 + C 1 + +
. 2 . . . . +
. . . . . . .
Now that you have another energy pool and a column mover you should be able to see where things are going. Charge the top left corner tile and use it to uncover the bottom two rows. The rest should be relatively easy.
A little shortcut for the "teapot of doom"...
I've got the Summoning Tribal Staff equipped, and the Octopus hat, and repeatedly (probably 100+ times) teleported until the space behind the teapot is filled with tribesmen, then teleported some more, until I've got tribesmen two ranks deep from the back of the chamber to halfway across the top of the teapot. A couple more teleports, and now, the teapot is surrounded by tribesmen, and I'm sitting on top of its spout hitting it with my fireballs and staff. It seems to be going down a little quicker.
Next time I'd equip the red gloves first, but for now, it's down below 900,000 with only about 5 minutes monitoring (after the tribesmen were in place).
Help guys! I'm at some point where I think i NEED an extra chocolate to progress. Where can I find one?
I need a pain au chocolat to minimise the time between casting, to survive the castle! I've already used two, but for the other options..
The areas I haven't cleared completely are:
left-far right room at fortress
castle
any ideas on how to get one?
ok. lets work down the line
@nipsy
for 'the hole'
there's a random drop from underwater a sponge that lets you squeeze yourself small
For the X potion
Its probably varied but I had both health regen items (unicorn horn and pink gloves) waited till he was low hp, and then hit him with a fireball. I survived with 1 hp
Tip for the teapot
2 or 3 clone potions + scythe (5 m candies at the blacksmith) + 50 or so bezerk potions + fireball hat + fireball gloves.
as for the hidden chocolate bars,
if you go through the cave you know those strange rock formations? they show you where. the tree is just up and right of the village
Yeah,
Best wait till you have the Scythe before fighting the Teapot. Or you could leave it open in another browser window for two hours while you also stockpile your candy reserves.
So then...
Where the #@&% is the third colored Shark Fin? I've gotten the Red and Green ones eons ago, but I carve my way through walls of sharks and still can't find the third one.
Most of the question people are asking here can be easily answered in the game's official wiki, which is linked on the game configuration page.
And I believe I just beat the game, got all the itens, entered everywhere, etc. After that happens
you get a congratulations page, a computer page - where you can add bugs and unlimited candies, lollipops and chocolate bars - and a upcoming Arena, which has nothing yet.
But i hope there's more in it and that I just haven't figured it out yet.
@Bruno Taurinho
There's something more fun about collaborating with a small group of people, and getting one hint at a time rather than just gorging on the walkthrough.
Also, the Wiki was incomplete at the time the game was posted here. Apparently the people who update it weren't that far ahead of the rest of us.
Tip for Developer:
Get a fairly large amount of health and the rocket boots, use a "forbidden" spell (Erase magic, Obsidian wall, Black demons or Black hole) right next to the developer to get him to cast a black hole on you and make like a banana and get the **** out of the way before the black hole kills you (hold J)
@ray9er
according to the Candybox2 wiki (under chocolate bar) there is three in The Cave Entrance on the main map.
"You can encounter a room in The Cave entrance which shows a map on the ground. If you click the spot where the 'X' is on the world map, you can dig to get 3 chocolate bars."
But I have tried for a while and I cant find a clickable "X" at all.
@Ethnod
You can encounter a room in The Cave entrance which shows
a map on the ground
. If you click the spot where the 'X' ison the world map
, you can dig to get 3 chocolate bars.
The X on the map on the floor of the cave just shows you where to click. There is no actual X on the world map.
You can only access the spot if you've seen the map in the cave. It's just under the tree to the right of the lonely house that's north of the village.
Tips for the computer:
If you get double/triple etc. text, save and refresh. You probably edited/entered the game with a new text save.
How to get candies/lollipops/chocolate bars/pains au chocolat:
Just type in "add quantity resource", where quantity is the amount you want ot add and resource is candies, lollipops, chocolatebars or painsauchocolat. Many people seem to have not been able to get chocolate bars or pains au chocolat because it needs to be one word.
Not going to list all the hidden commands, the wiki page should suffice.
@cssbdec To beat developer
Item you must have.
- scythe
- knight armor [enchanted]
- some beserk potion
Get the position near him and spam b potion until his hp drop to 400k or less. Then do erase magic [use black hole if you have purple fin]
Beat this game in hard mode, is so easy if you already beat this game once :D
Hmmm. Beat the developer on my first try at him.
Just got up next to him and cast black hole and teleport in rapid succession using the keyboard shortcuts.
Whole thing took less than five seconds. Kind of anticlimactic.
Has anyone figured out what the bugs do? I played around a bit, but got bored enough that I'm probably not going to go figure them out.
This isn't so much a "spoiler" as an easter egg, but I noticed that when you have a certain quantity of candies...
Specifically when you have 42, there's a little "\o/" emote next to the total. I assume this is a reference to Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide series, but has anyone run across any other "special" numbers?
The emote doesn't seem to do anything when I click it, but who knows with this game :)
@swcisel:
I'm afraid you've wasted a whole lot of lollipops: the highest production you can get from just straight farming is 100/second, and you reach that at somewhere between 23,000 and 24,000 lollipops planted.
To increase your production beyond 100/second, you need to find some special items: the shell powder (3�production), the pitchfork (3�), and the green shark fin (5�).
Is there a description anywhere of what a cloning potion *does*? I get that it makes a copy of you, but what attributes does the copy have? Clones don't seem to carry the same weapons as the player - they don't spew fireballs or magic spells, for example. Do they carry *any* weapon? What use are they?
Also, is there any way to
open the first house in the village?
Some sooper-seekrit command to type into the computer, for example?
Dena
How do you open the candy box?
The candy box is the game win. You need to collect four stones and get past the nougat monster.
How many candies do you have to throw on the ground for him to stop nom nom-ing?
Dunno, I think it just repeats.
Lastly Im up to 300 lollis per second in the lolli farm? is there a limit?
There is a limit, but it's a lot higher than that (with special bonuses). Once you win, you can get all the candy you want by accessing 'the computer'.
Candy Box 2 Walkthrough and Guide
The Beginning of a Candy Love Affair
Starting Out, Requesting New Features, and Saving Your Game
"In the world of the Candy Box, the currency of life is candy." -someone probably said
You begin with 0 candies, earning 1 candy per second.
As long as you have at least 1 candy, you can "Eat all candies".
Eating candies will improve your health (i.e. increase your hitpoints). The cost to increase your health bar goes up exponentially, so for each additional point to your health, the number of candies you need to eat also goes up (see more details re: health later in this guide).
At 10 candies:
-
You can "Throw 10 candies on the ground".
Throwing candies down will create a new mini character, who, as you continue to thrown down candies, will first make faces and various actions until he digs up a hole and (after throwing 1630c) gives you the chocolate bar he found.
Continue to throw to make more reactions which cap out at 2,500c. Anymore after that, he just "nom noms".
At 30+ candies:
-
"Request a new feature to the developer (30 candies)"
-
"You've unlocked a status bar! (above)"
-
After that, you can use 5 more candies to "Request another one"
-
"You now have access to a configuration tab."
-
With 5 more candies, "Request once again"
-
"A wild saving tab appears!"
-
Now the fun really begins, spend another 5c to "Request for something more exciting"
-
"Here's 100 health points for you. They're going to be useful."
-
"Final request! This one has to be worth the candies. (10 c)
-
A MAP is added to your status bar. Click on the MAP to enter The Village.
Clicking this CFG tab opens a page with all the details about the game and the developer, lets you change the language or invert the screen colors.
On the SAVE menu, you can choose from 5 save slots in which to manually save your game.
You can also set it to save automatically every 10 minutes in a slot of your choosing. NOTE: Once you re-load from a save slot, you'll need to reset the auto-save.
Then...When you want to reload, choose one of the save slots under "browser load" under the save menu.
"Get the current game as text" This is a great feature! If you want to save your game at any particular spot and never worry about losing it on your browser, get a (rather long) text file of where you're at in game. Copy and paste it on a document or email or wherever you'd like...When you're ready to play that instance of the game again...
...paste your saved game text into the "Text load" box and, Voila!
Super Secret Note:
It is possible to alter those text save files, but then all the fun of the candy box is greatly diminished, and then the new game will just be called Editing HTML Code Strings. Which is significantly less fun. (I know, I played it. Poor reviews all around. 1 mushroom only.)
Your health bar will indicate damage you take on a quest/fighting enemies. When it reaches zero, your specific quest will end, but not the game as a whole. You lose health (hit points) when you take damage from an enemy during a quest.
You gain health slowly over time only outside of the quest (unless you're using potions or special equipment) or by visiting certain places on the map.
There are also several ways to increase the length of your health bar, as detailed in a later section of this guide.
In the Village
Shop, Forge, and Your First Quest
Screenshot: Village Exteriors
Your First Quest
-
After buying a weapon at The Forge, you can start your first quest.
-
Go inside the last house on the right and you'll meet a man who complains of rats in his cellar.
-
If you haven't already, open your INV ENT ORY tab and, under WEAPON, select your sword (or axe).
-
Then, click the MAP tab to return to where you are in game (in this case, the house with a cellar).
-
With weapon equiped, you'll have the option "Let's go, then!" Select that to begin the quest.
-
If you have completing the quest, there are things you can do to get better, including:
-
Buy better weapons.
-
Buy armor (at this point, only gloves and boots will be available from the Candy Merchant).
-
Eat candy to increase your health points.
-
After plowing through all the RATs, click the "Exit the quest (and keep what you found)" button.
-
When you complete the quest, you'll be able to keep any candies you found on the rats, and...
-
The grateful home owner will give you The Map.
-
The Map will show as a grey button just below the status bar after you click the "Back to the Village" button."
-
Clicking the "Back to the map" button will display the whole world (although only certain places will be accessible to you at this time).

Now onwards to more quests!
The Ever Stretching Reaches of...The Map
More Quests, More Places, and How to Get There
More is on the way. In the meantime, here's a map:
Screenshot: Full Map
Candies, Lollipops and the Farm
-
Candies generate 1 per second.
-
Building a Mill at the Lollipop Farm then feed it candies to upgrade its candy generating power:
-
You can grow lollipops at the lollipop farm and start generating your own lolliops.
-
Ways to increase production:
-
Building a Mill:
-
Using Certain Items:
-
Green Shark Fin: defeat the green-finned shark then use this to boost lolli production x5.
-
Shell Powder: swim over it in the very bottom of the sea; it increases production x3.
-
The Pitchfork: found in the dark room of the castle; boosts farm production x3.
-
Lolligators at the candy farm will convert lollipops into candies, and each costs 1,200c. You must first dig a pond for 1,000c.
2 candies per second (cps) = 14,400 lollipops into the mill
2 cps = 57,600
5 cps = 129,600
8 cps = 360,000
13 cps = 921,600
and so on until you reach...infinity!!!
Feed the following numbers* of candies into the mill to make...
21c = 1 lollipop per second (lps)
225c = 5 lps
492c = 10 lps
1,074 = 20 lps
2,492 = 40 lps
7,824 = 30 lps
23,046 = 100 lps (max that can be reached by feeding the mill).
*and some numbers in between.
Chocolate Bars and Pain au Chocolat
-
Chocolate Bars can be used to enchant certain items or given to the oven in the castle to make pains aus chocolat.
-
You can gain chocolate bars by doing various things, which are...
-
Answering the squirrel's questions will give you chocolate 3 bars.
-
Eating 1630 candies (1 chocolate bar).
-
Buying 1 from the Candy Merchant for 800c.
-
Finding 1 in a room of The Cave.
-
After seeing a picture on the floor of the cave, going to that spot on the map (a tree to the right of A Lonely House) and clicking several times until you find a dig spot. Continue to dig to get 3 bars.
-
Exploring The Hole, finding the treasure chest containing 4 bars, and then successfully reaching the bottom.
-
Pain au Chocolat is baked by the oven inside the castle's big room. You'll need chocolate bars and candies to begin the process.
Health
You begin with 100 health. The maximum you can have is 2,904. There's a few ways you can increase your health bar...
-
Eat candies:
-
Give Pain au Chocolate to the wishing well and ask for more health (20-eent increase each time).
-
Find the HEART PLUG inside The Cave for another 20-percent increase.
-
Obtain the HEART PENDANT for an additional 300 points to your health.
The first candy you eat will add 1 hitpoint. After that, it will take more candy to increase your health....
Follow the tiny arrow symbols on the left or right side of the cave until you find a chest. Open it for a heart plug.
It's in one of the chests inside The Hole. You must first reach it, then reach the bottom of the hole safely.
More healthy Advice
"Here's a nice way to rebuild health pretty quickly...[and] cheap."
-
Get the pink enchanted gloves, jump into the sea, and stall the progress by hanging out at the bottom. When your health is full, click "end quest."
(Thanks to silent george!)
Enchanting Items
The following items can be enchanted at the wishing well (cost=1 chocolate to unlock feature then 1 chocolate per enchantment) to create special benefits...
-
Leather Gloves (buy from merchant for 300c). Enchant two pairs to make:
-
PINK ENCHANTED GLOVES: continual healing during quests.
-
RED ENCHANTED GLOVES: randomly casts fireballs which damage enemies.
-
Knight Body Armor:
-
Obtained by beating the knights in the castle, enchanting the knight's armor will give an 80-percent reduction in damage when worn in battle. The drawback is, you'll also deal 50-percent damage to your enemy.
-
Octopus King's Crown:
-
Obtain by beating the Octopus King. Then, choose one of the following enchantments from the wishing well:
-
JASPERS: "In quests, it will frequently cast powerful magic fireballs around you. And also, it's shining!"
-
OBSIDIAN: Gives a random chance the Octopus King will join you on your quest, helping you best your enemies.
-
Monkey Wizard's Staff:
-
Obtain by beating the Monkey Wizard. When enchanted, it is "faster than the non-enchanted version, and will also cast a lot more spells."
-
Giant Spoon:
-
Get this by beating the Giant Teapot inside the castle. Then, when enchanted, it's more powerful (but slower, too).
-
Tribal Spear:
-
Get this from beating warriors inside the hole. Enchanting it will create a Summoning Tribal Spear (10 damage, fast speed). It summons tribal warriors in battle more often than the regular tribal spear.

How do I get through the forest without dying?
I have the troll's bludgeon, lightweight armor, and the health regeneration gloves equipped. My max hp is currently 382 and I have the heart plug.

@Michelle, for the xinopherydon,
put on everything you have that spews stuff: the jasper crown, the enchanted wizard staff, and the red gloves. (Naturally, also put on the rocket boots, because you can't get very far without them.) Then go down to the bottom right, where the unicorn horn was, and wait. Eventually, your fireballs and magic purple, uh, thingies will defeat the xinopherydon.
Hey, for those of you having trouble with the nougat monster, here's a way to defeat him that was easy enough for me.
Equip yourself with the monkey wizard staff, the octopus crown with jaspers, your red enchanted gloves and your rocket boots (assuming you have all these items so far). Then, when you go in to fight the monster, just rocket yourself up to the far upper right corner. From there all you really need to do is bounce up and down from high to low with your rocket boots and eventually you're special weapons will take care of the monster seeing as he cannot attack you up there.
I hope this helps :)
@CatinaSpajamas, do you mean the arcade in the third house? I don't think I've gotten past level 8 in that. I'm not sure it's a game that can be "finished". I think the closest you can get to winning is to get some candy from it. (If you lose at level 3, for example, you get zero candies.)
The other game (the one that takes 1000 candies to start) isn't much better, but at least it does tend to give you *some* candy even if you die pretty early.
katiekat2016, to beat the knight :
use your enchanted monkey wizard staff, enchanted octopus king's crown with jaspers, and pink enchanted gloves. Be sure to make some health potions (if you have the cauldron) and eat candies. Hope that helps :) *and this is assuming you have all of the things listed above.*
katiekat,
Get the unicorn horn & xinopherydon claw, and then the enchanted wizard staff plus jasper crown will make short work of them.
OK, so that's maybe not as helpful as it could be. :)
1. Obtain the sponge, the enchanted monkey wizard staff, the octopus king's crown enchanted with jaspers, the red gloves, the pogo stick, the desert bird feather, and the beginner's grimoire.
2. Use the above to defeat the Hole. For the tribesmen, don't actually get near them; instead, let the crown, staff, and gloves take care of them long-distance. This will net you (among other things) the desert fortress key and the tribal spear.
3. Enchant the tribal spear. In the right-hand room of the desert fortress, use the tribesmen summoned by the spear to build a stair, so you can get the rocket boots.
4. Put on the rocket boots and go into the left-hand room of the desert fortress. Get the unicorn horn at the bottom right, then stay there until your long-distance weapons kill the xinopherydon. (You don't actually have to go where the creature was, you'll still collect the claw.)
You should now be well-equipped to tackle the castle entrance.
Some kind of candy exploit, I guess.
So someone on here posted about using the pink gloves and jumping in the sea to heal faster.
Well I did that, and kept crawling on the bottom and waiting to see what would happen. You go through the first couple waves (before any sharks) and you hide in a crevice, moving one by one until you start seeing the jelly fish. When you start seeing the jelly fish, stay in the crevice. Eventually the jelly fish start piling up and trapping themselves because they can't move ahead of each other.
With the pink gloves, the monkey staff (sorry, can't remember the names- but I just started playing), and the enhanced crown to shoot those fireballs, you just leave your guy on the edge of one of those underwater mountains and the jellyfish wave never ends. You can move up a couple mountains before you reach the point where they stop regenerating.
Hope that made sense. It's a lot more difficult to explain than actually do. Took me 3 tries before I mastered it because you can move too quickly and end up skipping the jelly fish wave.
Left the game on for an hour to watch the end of this Broncos game and I come back, still alive, with 400,000 candies found. You get 120 candies per kill.
Follow up on my last post (why not editing?).
Even better is to use Octopus King Crown with Obsidian w/ the pink gloves.
They spawn and fill up your screen when you stick yourself behind a mountain. The jelly fish swim right into them and die. Looks like it sped up the process by at least 35%.
And i think a better way to explain this is when you first see a jelly fish, take cover. It's right after those giant blocks very early in the seas. That will ensure you don't swim past it, because sometimes I end up skipping the entire jelly fish spawn area somehow.
@Tenzi:
I have gotten the Lollipop Farm to cap out at around 150 000 Lollipops Planted, With a production of 4500 lollipops per second. You can also
buy lolligaters when you have enough for a pond (1200 lollipops for each gater) and they convert candies to lollipops. I have gotten
Up to 50 lolligaters, with an awesome total of 498080 candies converted per second.
the total number of candies --> lollipops does not seem to cap, so have fun! :-D
Using these two strategies, you can get your lollipop count really high,
especially if you have enough candies to convert into lollipops with lolligaters.
If you are willing to, you can cheat by altering your save text, The wiki will help with that.
I hope I was of assistance! :D
If you want to get to the treasure box in the 3rd room(on the right), you can
wear the octopus king's crown OBSIDIAN, wait until there's a lot of octopus and climb them to get to the treasure box.
It will be a lot easier if you have the desert bird's feather( makes you jump higher)
thanks to @asier680 !!
Lighthouse Riddle
The "V" blocks reveal blocks down, the "T" blocks reveal blocks up. The V --> shifts the LOWER row, the T w/ arrow shifts the LEFT row. You want to first reveal the two "heart" blocks that are to the right of the starting center. Clicking back and forth makes them work infinitely. Next, work on shifting/revealing until you get both heart boxes to the top left. At this point, you will find the final shifting box which will allow shifting in such a way you can but a heart box (charged with at least one asterisk) next to the ? ? box, which will solve the puzzle.
teapot
If you have the octopus king crown enchanted with jaspers
and the xinopherydon (from the left room in the fortress)
with two clones
using the giant spoon or the scythe
then it only takes about two hours to off the teapot, so since you probably do not have the scythe yet it should take about 5 hours using the summoning tribal spear, which is much better than the 9 or so hours it took me without the above weapon bonus and better weapon
I managed to OHKO the developer. Oh, I feel such a sense of achievement C:
You will need:
- the Giant Spoon of DOOM (enchanted)
- about a hundred pains au chocolat (from the computer)
- patience (my attacks are at 2360% a.k.a 118 PaC-power, though I probably overshot the mark.)
No fireballing items allowed.
Next target, that bloody kettle.

Walkthrough Guide

Candy Box 2 Walkthrough and Guide
The Beginning of a Candy Love Affair
Starting Out, Requesting New Features, and Saving Your Game
"In the world of the Candy Box, the currency of life is candy." -someone probably said
You begin with 0 candies, earning 1 candy per second.
As long as you have at least 1 candy, you can "Eat all candies".
Eating candies will improve your health (i.e. increase your hitpoints). The cost to increase your health bar goes up exponentially, so for each additional point to your health, the number of candies you need to eat also goes up (see more details re: health later in this guide).
At 10 candies:
You can "Throw 10 candies on the ground".
Throwing candies down will create a new mini character, who, as you continue to thrown down candies, will first make faces and various actions until he digs up a hole and (after throwing 1630c) gives you the chocolate bar he found.
Continue to throw to make more reactions which cap out at 2,500c. Anymore after that, he just "nom noms".
At 30+ candies:
"Request a new feature to the developer (30 candies)"
"You've unlocked a status bar! (above)"
After that, you can use 5 more candies to "Request another one"
"You now have access to a configuration tab."
Clicking this CFG tab opens a page with all the details about the game and the developer, lets you change the language or invert the screen colors.
With 5 more candies, "Request once again"
"A wild saving tab appears!"
On the SAVE menu, you can choose from 5 save slots in which to manually save your game.
You can also set it to save automatically every 10 minutes in a slot of your choosing. NOTE: Once you re-load from a save slot, you'll need to reset the auto-save.
Then...When you want to reload, choose one of the save slots under "browser load" under the save menu.
"Get the current game as text" This is a great feature! If you want to save your game at any particular spot and never worry about losing it on your browser, get a (rather long) text file of where you're at in game. Copy and paste it on a document or email or wherever you'd like...When you're ready to play that instance of the game again...
...paste your saved game text into the "Text load" box and, Voila!
Super Secret Note:
It is possible to alter those text save files, but then all the fun of the candy box is greatly diminished, and then the new game will just be called Editing HTML Code Strings. Which is significantly less fun. (I know, I played it. Poor reviews all around. 1 mushroom only.)
Now the fun really begins, spend another 5c to "Request for something more exciting"
"Here's 100 health points for you. They're going to be useful."
Your health bar will indicate damage you take on a quest/fighting enemies. When it reaches zero, your specific quest will end, but not the game as a whole. You lose health (hit points) when you take damage from an enemy during a quest.
You gain health slowly over time only outside of the quest (unless you're using potions or special equipment) or by visiting certain places on the map.
There are also several ways to increase the length of your health bar, as detailed in a later section of this guide.
"Final request! This one has to be worth the candies. (10 c)
A MAP is added to your status bar. Click on the MAP to enter The Village.
In the Village
Shop, Forge, and Your First Quest
Screenshot: Village Exteriors
Your First Quest
After buying a weapon at The Forge, you can start your first quest.
Go inside the last house on the right and you'll meet a man who complains of rats in his cellar.
If you haven't already, open your INV ENT ORY tab and, under WEAPON, select your sword (or axe).
Then, click the MAP tab to return to where you are in game (in this case, the house with a cellar).
With weapon equiped, you'll have the option "Let's go, then!" Select that to begin the quest.
If you have completing the quest, there are things you can do to get better, including:
Buy better weapons.
Buy armor (at this point, only gloves and boots will be available from the Candy Merchant).
Eat candy to increase your health points.
After plowing through all the RATs, click the "Exit the quest (and keep what you found)" button.
When you complete the quest, you'll be able to keep any candies you found on the rats, and...
The grateful home owner will give you The Map.
The Map will show as a grey button just below the status bar after you click the "Back to the Village" button."
Clicking the "Back to the map" button will display the whole world (although only certain places will be accessible to you at this time).
The Squirrel's Riddles
After you earn The World Map, you can leave the confines of the village and go to A Tree. There, you can play some games with The Squirrel, earning lots of goodies.
When you arrive, click the "How can I help you?" dialogue button and then, begin to answer...
QUESTION:"do you really love candies?"
ANSWER:
yes
QUESTION:"complete this sequence of letters..."
ANSWER:
C
all the letters together spell CANDIES
QUESTION:"how many candies does the candiest person in the world possess?"
ANSWER:
(# of candies you have)
Tip: put in a larger number, then click as soon as the counter reaches that.
QUESTION:"How many marks can you find on its trunk?"
ANSWER:
10
The number of marks on the squirrel's tree trunk.
QUESTION:"What happens to the yellow hat?"
ANSWER:
It gets wet.
Next, you're asked to play a game. Say "Sure I am!" Play a game of Tic-Tac-Toe with the squirrel until you win (reward: a KEY to one of the locked houses in the village.)
SOLUTION:
This can only be won by putting your X's outside the box. So just click somewhere along the edge of the box to place your X. Since you're going first, you'll easily make three marks, and win.
Watch this space for more details, coming soon!
Now onwards to more quests!
The Ever Stretching Reaches of...The Map
More Quests, More Places, and How to Get There
More is on the way. In the meantime, here's a map:
Screenshot: Full Map
Candies, Lollipops and the Farm
Candies generate 1 per second.
Building a Mill at the Lollipop Farm then feed it candies to upgrade its candy generating power:
2 candies per second (cps) = 14,400 lollipops into the mill
2 cps = 57,600
5 cps = 129,600
8 cps = 360,000
13 cps = 921,600
and so on until you reach...infinity!!!
You can grow lollipops at the lollipop farm and start generating your own lolliops.
Ways to increase production:
Building a Mill:
Feed the following numbers* of candies into the mill to make...
21c = 1 lollipop per second (lps)
225c = 5 lps
492c = 10 lps
1,074 = 20 lps
2,492 = 40 lps
7,824 = 30 lps
23,046 = 100 lps (max that can be reached by feeding the mill).
*and some numbers in between.
Using Certain Items:
Green Shark Fin: defeat the green-finned shark then use this to boost lolli production x5.
Shell Powder: swim over it in the very bottom of the sea; it increases production x3.
The Pitchfork: found in the dark room of the castle; boosts farm production x3.
Lolligators at the candy farm will convert lollipops into candies, and each costs 1,200c. You must first dig a pond for 1,000c.
Chocolate Bars and Pain au Chocolat
Chocolate Bars can be used to enchant certain items or given to the oven in the castle to make pains aus chocolat.
You can gain chocolate bars by doing various things, which are...
Answering the squirrel's questions will give you chocolate 3 bars.
Eating 1630 candies (1 chocolate bar).
Buying 1 from the Candy Merchant for 800c.
Finding 1 in a room of The Cave.
After seeing a picture on the floor of the cave, going to that spot on the map (a tree to the right of A Lonely House) and clicking several times until you find a dig spot. Continue to dig to get 3 bars.
Exploring The Hole, finding the treasure chest containing 4 bars, and then successfully reaching the bottom.
Pain au Chocolat is baked by the oven inside the castle's big room. You'll need chocolate bars and candies to begin the process.
Health
You begin with 100 health. The maximum you can have is 2,904. There's a few ways you can increase your health bar...
Eat candies:
The first candy you eat will add 1 hitpoint. After that, it will take more candy to increase your health....
Give Pain au Chocolate to the wishing well and ask for more health (20-eent increase each time).
Find the HEART PLUG inside The Cave for another 20-percent increase.
Follow the tiny arrow symbols on the left or right side of the cave until you find a chest. Open it for a heart plug.
Obtain the HEART PENDANT for an additional 300 points to your health.
It's in one of the chests inside The Hole. You must first reach it, then reach the bottom of the hole safely.
More healthy Advice
"Here's a nice way to rebuild health pretty quickly...[and] cheap."
Get the pink enchanted gloves, jump into the sea, and stall the progress by hanging out at the bottom. When your health is full, click "end quest."
(Thanks to silent george!)
Enchanting Items
The following items can be enchanted at the wishing well (cost=1 chocolate to unlock feature then 1 chocolate per enchantment) to create special benefits...
Leather Gloves (buy from merchant for 300c). Enchant two pairs to make:
PINK ENCHANTED GLOVES: continual healing during quests.
RED ENCHANTED GLOVES: randomly casts fireballs which damage enemies.
Knight Body Armor:
Obtained by beating the knights in the castle, enchanting the knight's armor will give an 80-percent reduction in damage when worn in battle. The drawback is, you'll also deal 50-percent damage to your enemy.
Octopus King's Crown:
Obtain by beating the Octopus King. Then, choose one of the following enchantments from the wishing well:
JASPERS: "In quests, it will frequently cast powerful magic fireballs around you. And also, it's shining!"
OBSIDIAN: Gives a random chance the Octopus King will join you on your quest, helping you best your enemies.
Monkey Wizard's Staff:
Obtain by beating the Monkey Wizard. When enchanted, it is "faster than the non-enchanted version, and will also cast a lot more spells."
Giant Spoon:
Get this by beating the Giant Teapot inside the castle. Then, when enchanted, it's more powerful (but slower, too).
Tribal Spear:
Get this from beating warriors inside the hole. Enchanting it will create a Summoning Tribal Spear (10 damage, fast speed). It summons tribal warriors in battle more often than the regular tribal spear.
Compiling this walkthrough is a HUGE project, so this is so far quite incomplete. I'll keep adding to it, though, so check back. In the meantime, please read the comments section, or post your own, to get help from our awesome JayIsGames community!
