Introduction:

Bejeweled Live is a great casual game that most people should already know from the XBLA games for the Xbox 360. The goal in the game is to match three or more gems to create cascades and special gems for extra points. The game is pretty easy if you are familiar with the franchise and completed one or more of the previous games in the series. But I gave it a 6/10 due to Faster Than Light and Classic Rock which requires both - skill and luck. Prepare yourself for a very long grind if you are here for the full 200 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png.

 

Abbreviated Walkthrough:

 

Step #1 - Classic Mode

Classic Rock is the achievement tied to this mode. The goal is to reach level 10. Classic mode is the only mode where it is possible to run out of matches. The best way to "survive" is to either work on the second half of the board or the right/left side. I prefer to work my way up from the bottom because you constantly get new gems from above. Don't waste your Hypercubes as soon as you get them. Instead save them for emergencies. Take your time and don't rush it. Look for possible cascades and don't use the hint button (wait a few seconds instead and you'll get shown a hint without a penalty).

 

Step #2 - Action Mode

In this mode you'll get 7th Heaven, Burn Notice, Faster Than Light and Action Hero. The bar on the bottom of the screen slowly diminishes and gets faster on higher levels. You have to act fast and always look out for matches and cascades. High value combos raise the bar and allow you to advance to the next level.

 

Step #3 - Endless Mode (Mop Up)

You can't run out of matches on endless mode and you have no time limit. Take your time and don't worry. This mode is a great opportunity to build cascades and grind out the 1 million gems for Millionaire.

 

Conclusion:

The game is highly addicting at first but gets pretty boring after a while and the grind is unnecessary long.

ACHIEVEMENT GUIDE:

 

Achievements:

 

0ICLiGJhbC9GFQUfXFRRGGQ3L2FjaC8wLzIAAAAA5+fn-9SfTA==.jpg Ultimate Cascade - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Make a cascade of x8.

 

A cascade is a chain reaction. You start a cascade every time you match three or more gems and the falling gems create another match. This one is mostly luck based.

 

1YCLiGJhbC9BFQUfXFRRGGQ3L2FjaC8wLzUAAAAA5+fn+nZ0tQ==.jpg Hyperblast - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Clear 12 gems using a single Hypercube.

 

See Hypercube Supremo.

 

14CLiGJhbC9CFQUfXFRRGGQ3L2FjaC8wLzYAAAAA5+fn+Fd9AA==.jpg Hypercube Supremo - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Clear 16 gems using a single Hypercube.

 

You create a hypercube if you match 5 gems at once. A hypercube will clear all gems of one color. Create a hypercube and use it with the color that has at least 16 gems or a few special gems. Every gem the hypercube destroys and those that get destroyed by the special gem counts.

 

1YCLiGJhbC9MFQUfXFRRGGQ3L2FjaC8wLzgAAAAA5+fn+pCRnQ==.jpg Singularity - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Break the Laws of Physics with 2 Hypercubes and clear the whole board!

 

Matching 2 hypercubes clears the whole board. The best way to do this is in Endless Mode because you can't run out of moves. End the level if the two hypercubes are too far apart. They'll be near or right next to each other on the next level if you are lucky.

 

1ICLiGJhbC9NFQUfXFRRGGQ3L2FjaC8wLzkAAAAA5+fn+3BpDg==.jpg Chain Reaction - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Detonate 3 special gems in a single move.

 

See Chain Detonation.

 

14CLiGJhbC8VFQUfXFRRGGQ3L2FjaC8wL2EAAAAA5+fn+F82og==.jpg Chain Detonation - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Detonate 5 special gems in a single move.

 

Create 5 or more special gems and destroy them all with one move. Star gems work great because they clear a whole line and can reach special gems that are far away from the others.

 

1ICLiGJhbC8XFQUfXFRRGGQ3L2FjaC8wL2MAAAAA5+fn+57HhA==.jpg Inferno - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Create 100 Flame Gems.

 

Flame gems are created by matching 4 gems in a single move. Repeat it 100 times across all modes.

 

0YCLiGJhbC8QFQUfXFRRGGQ3L2FjaC8wL2QAAAAA5+fn-jwsfQ==.jpg Power Broker - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Create 2 special gems in a single move.

 

See Power Monger.

 

0ICLiGJhbC8RFQUfXFRRGGQ3L2FjaC8wL2UAAAAA5+fn-9zU7g==.jpg Power Monger - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Create 4 special gems in a single move.

 

This achievement is luck based and easiest done in Action Mode. Action Mode gives you the most special gems.

 

0YCLiGJhbC9ECxoAG19TVmQ3L2FjaC8wLzEwAAAAAOfn5-6fOKU=.jpg Spectrum - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Make 3 consecutive matches of the same colour.

 

See Spectrum Mastery.

 

0ICLiGJhbC9FCxoAG19TVmQ3L2FjaC8wLzExAAAAAOfn5-9-wDY=.jpg Spectrum Mastery - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Make 5 consecutive matches of the same colour.

 

This one is luck based. You need to make 5 matches of the same color in a row. Clearing the board of one color using a Hypercube can be helpful.

 

04CLiGJhbC9HCxoAG19TVmQ3L2FjaC8wLzEzAAAAAOfn5-y+MRA=.jpg Action Hero - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Score more than 500,000 points in a single Action mode level.

 

You will most likely get this while working for Faster Than Light. Let the bar almost run out and start creating matches and cascades. This is easier on later levels and you have to complete the level to get the achievement. If you get 500.000 points and lose you won't get the achievement!

 

1oCLiGJhbC9ACxoAG19TVmQ3L2FjaC8wLzE0AAAAAOfn5-kc2uk=.jpg 7th Heaven - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete level 7 in Action mode.

 

You need to be fast if you want to complete level 7. If you struggle you can use a little trick: The timer stops while you (are trying to) match gems. You can "move" the wrong gem repeatedly and look around the board for good matches.

 

14CLiGJhbC9BCxoAG19TVmQ3L2FjaC8wLzE1AAAAAOfn5-j8Ino=.jpg Classic Rock! - 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete level 10 in Classic mode.

 

Save your special gems! Every special gem that you do not destroy will transfer to the next level and help you to survive. The best method is to find matches on the bottow half of the board. That way you will get new gems from the top and are less likely to get stuck with "No more moves!". This achievement requires a huge portion of luck and a bit of skill.

 

1YCLiGJhbC9CCxoAG19TVmQ3L2FjaC8wLzE2AAAAAOfn5-rdK88=.jpg Supernova - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Activate 4 Star Gems in a single move.

 

Matching 4 gems in a L-form creates a star gem. Destroying them creates a horizontal or vertical line that destroys every gem in that line. Set up the field to create a chain reaction where all four star gems are destroyed within one move. This is hard to do and I suggest Endless Mode because you can not run out of moves and take your time.

 

1ICLiGJhbC9DCxoAG19TVmQ3L2FjaC8wLzE3AAAAAOfn5-s901w=.jpg Superconductor - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Destroy a gem of every colour and type in a single move.

 

Easiest done in Action Mode because you get many special gems here. Create a gem of each type and have them near each other before destroying them.

 

14CLiGJhbC9MCxoAG19TVmQ3L2FjaC8wLzE4AAAAAOfn5-gax1I=.jpg Burn Notice - 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Attain Blazing Speed.

 

See Faster Than Light

 

1oCLiGJhbC9NCxoAG19TVmQ3L2FjaC8wLzE5AAAAAOfn5-n6P8E=.jpg Faster Than Light - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Attain Blazing Speed twice in a single level.

 

Blazing Speed can be achieved in Action Mode. You will have to make many matches within a couple of seconds. This works only in later levels (7-9) because you will end early levels before getting Blazing Speed. To get it twice let it cool down and start making quick matches again. This is one of the hardest achievements in the game and not only skill- but luck-based too. You will most likely have to practice Action Mode a lot before unlocking this achievement.

 

1YCLiGJhbC8VCxoAG19TVmQ3L2FjaC8wLzFhAAAAAOfn5-rVYG0=.jpg Dynamo - 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Make 5 matches during a cascade.

 

In this game you can continue creating matches during a cascade. Wait for a cascade to happen and quickly make 5 new matches before the cascade ends.

 

0YCLiGJhbC9HFQUfXFRRGGQ3L2FjaC8wLzMAAAAA5+fn-jRn3w==.jpg Millionaire - 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Collect 1 million gems.

 

Every mode counts. Action Mode is the fastest but I used Endless Mode to relax and collect gems without pressure. You can check your progress in the statistic page.

I started to write this guide one year ago, 2 months after getting the Milliionare achievement. I got all other achievements more than 2 - 3 years ago. Please let my know if something is not clear because I wrote most of it a long time after playing the game. My descriptions are not wrong but may be not 100% easy to understand.

 

I will submit the guide if everything is ok.
