Comments on the guide for Endless Mode in Bejeweled 2 by o SeduLOUs o

35 1 12

I decided to write a 'solution' for this as I finally got the achievement today. It's fairly obvious that the achievement itself is simple - you can't die and need to complete 280 levels. It's a simple achievement but a very very long one. Some little things I've discovered in the hope they will help you tackle this monster:

* Unlike other game modes you do actually have to complete 280 levels. The achievement pops when you hit level 281.

* Each level takes longer than the one before it, so level 140 is not even close to being half way. My total score on getting this achievement was 60,144,650, so you can calculate a percentage based on this score to give you an idea of your progress.

* Probably most importantly, NOT QUITTING OUT OF THE GAME PROPERLY WILL CAUSE YOUR SAVE DATA TO BE LOST! It doesn't matter how often you save, if you don't quit out properly it's all gone. If there's a power cut it's all gone. You cannot 'copy' the save data for Bejeweled 2 so it's not as simple as backing up to a usb stick. However, you CAN backup your data to a pc using a usb image tool, and I highly recommend doing so regularly. I've also heard that the 'finity mode' unlock can be glitched (it didn't happen to me) and for this reason it's very important to take a backup near to the end of the last level.

* My total game time at the point of popping this achievement was 250h 3m. This includes the time is took me to do all of the other game modes prior to endless, and me losing my save data twice (both at around level 100).

* Never use hints. I don't know how much of the bar it drops but it just isn't worth it. If you can't see a move just sit still for a few seconds and the game will automatically give you a hint without taking away from your score/level progress.

Good luck!

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but a Uninteruptable Power Supply (UPS) has saved me more than once and they have gotten relatively cheap too ~$50. I plug my modem, router, tv and xbox into mine. It's always nice to have plenty of time to save when the power goes out.

Though it is probably rare, I just lost my data at level 200. I completed level 199 so it brought me to the next level. Once I got there, it told me I had no more moves and the game abruptly ended. Just another reason to make sure you back up your data regularly.

I just completed it

and I got both one after the other. (multimode first then 280) just completed finity too. I set up a back up every 5 million. Too many back ups if did them more than that. Never needed them. A good thumbs up for the safety net to fall back on if needed. I'm gonna sleep tonight

I must be the only person ever to run out of moves in endless mode I didn't pop an achievement yet and I'm never gonna start this game now

To back up your save on Xbox One/Series X|S, you will need to purchase the game on the 360, since you cannot move your save on the newer generations of consoles.

Even though the 360 version of the game does NOT allow you to use the save from the cloud, you can still move it from the cloud to the USB stick. This will create a save state that you can play on your Xbox 360. HOWEVER, while you can convert your save from the Xbox One/Series to the 360, you cannot move your save from the 360 to the newer generation. (Putting it in the cloud simply doesn't work, it will pick up the previous save) So, if you ever do end up losing your save, you will have to play on the 360 until game completion.

Something weird I had happen a few years ago - I got to like level 80 and then the game said that my trial version was over.

I bought the game, close to level 80 again, hopefully that was a fluke.

I had my games data all reset (hyper cubes created, time played, largest combo etc etc) but my endless game mode stayed where I was. I will report back if my achievement progress reset as well, I'm back to about 30% for the power cubes done, so I'd be ~50% before my reset.

I also might have to do the other game modes again, I'll let you know what pops when I finish all 280 levels. Currently at like 107.

So, even though I saved on the cloud on my One X, it loads my endless mode at level 1 on my Series X.

If this happens to you, don't quit the normal way, dashboard it. My save is still intact at level 143 on my One X.

I looked this up, and there is a small chance that at the beginning of a level, there are no possible moves and this will end your game. I'm not sure what the percentage is, but I do know that small percentages add up over time. So if it's 1% chance, that's 1% chance, 280 times... and 1% is 1 in 100. I'm no mathematician, but uh... The only way to prevent this small chance is to go into the next level with a hyper cube.
