Beads Out Level 398 Guide: The Double Crate Lock Trap

Beads Out Level 398 demands strict discipline. The board is completely flooded with Pink, Lime Green, Brown, and Olive Green beads caught in a massive central O-ring track. This inner loop is entirely clogged. Outside of it, two U-shaped outer tracks wait to dump Grey, Tan, Light Blue, and Dark Green beads into the middle. You have zero breathing room here.

The Box arrangement forms a solid pyramid block dominating the center of the screen. The top row sits six boxes wide, completely covering the lower rows. This board is brutal because the inner loop acts like a dam. The outer tracks cannot move until you drain the center. But the beads you need to clear the center are trapped behind a very specific puzzle logic. If you pull the wrong top-row Box to the 4-slot Dock, the inner loop jams. You lose.

Reading the Board in Beads Out Level 398

Look at the top row immediately. You have Olive Green, Dark Blue, Grey, two Light Blues, and Brown. That is your starting lineup. The lower Dock only holds four slots. Buffer economy is incredibly tight on this board.

You must spot the bait. The two Light Blue boxes sitting front and center look like easy targets. Do not touch them. The Light Blue beads are buried at the very back of the left outer track. If you pull those two Light Blue boxes into your Dock right now, you paralyze half your clearing capacity. You will jam before you even reach the midgame.

The real objective is hidden in the second row down. Look at the flanks. On the left side of the second row, a physical Crate Lock binds a Lime Green box to a Brown box. On the right side, another Crate Lock binds a Dark Green box to a Pink box. You cannot reach the deeper Cyan, White, or Tan boxes until these iron chains break.

The inner loop of the Conveyor gets crowded first. It holds a massive cluster of Lime Green beads right at the bottom exit chute, followed closely by Pink and Brown on the left side, and Olive Green on the right. To survive Beads Out Level 398, your Box selection must exactly match the beads already sitting in that lower central arc. The right-side top Brown box and the left-side top Olive Green box are your only safe entry points.

Beads Out Level 398 Step-by-Step Walkthrough

Your entire opening strategy relies on bypassing the trap boxes and surgically exposing the locked second row. Keep your eyes on the central O-ring track. Drain it fast.

Bypassing the Light Blue Trap in Beads Out Level 398

Do not touch the center of the top row. Work strictly from the outside edges inward to expose the locked boxes below.

1. Tap the Grey box (top row, center-left) and the Brown box (top row, far right). Drop them into the Dock.
2. Send the Grey beads coming down the left outer track. Send the Brown beads sitting on the left side of the inner loop.
3. Tap the Olive Green box (top row, far left) and bring it down. Feed it the Olive Green beads from the right side of the inner loop.
4. Leave the two Light Blue boxes alone. They are strict bait.
5. Clearing the top Brown box exposes the locked Pink box on the second row. Drop that Pink box into the Dock immediately.
6. The inner loop holds a massive block of Pink beads. Tap them. Filling this Pink box shatters the right-side Crate Lock, freeing the Dark Green box next to it.

Shattering the Second Crate Lock in Beads Out Level 398

Once the right-side chain breaks, you must immediately pivot to the left flank. The inner loop is starting to move, which means the outer tracks are getting ready to merge and dump their beads into the main flow.

1. Look at the left side of the second row. Clearing the top Olive Green box earlier exposed the locked Lime Green box. Pull it into the Dock.
2. A huge cluster of Lime Green beads is sitting right at the bottom of the central ring near the exit chute. Feed them in quickly.
3. This breaks the left-side Crate Lock, releasing the second Brown box. Drop that newly freed Brown box into your Dock.
4. Tap the remaining Brown beads in the inner loop to clear it.
5. The left and right flanks of the box stack are now completely open. You can finally safely drop the Dark Blue box from the top row into the Dock, as Dark Blue beads are now flowing down the left outer track.
6. With the flanks cleared, the outer U-tracks will dump heavily into the middle. The left track brings a massive payload of Cyan, Dark Red, and more Dark Blue. The right track brings Tan and more Dark Green.

Managing the Outer Track Merge in Beads Out Level 398

The board opens up entirely after the locks break, but the flow imbalance between the left and right tracks becomes the final hazard. The left track holds significantly more late-game beads than the right track.

1. Now you can finally pull those two Light Blue trap boxes from the top row. The Light Blue beads are finally feeding into the central ring from the outer track.
2. As the center of the stack clears, grab the Cyan, Tan, and White boxes from the third row. Keep your Dock strictly prioritized by what color is closest to the bottom exit chute.
3. Watch the Purple and Dark Green boxes on the lower rows. Move them down only when you see their matching beads clear the upper curves of the inner loop.
4. The final boxes are Peach and Dark Red at the very bottom of the stack.
5. When only four Boxes remain, the Last Four speed-up kicks in. The track moves much faster. Just match the incoming Dark Red and Peach beads to finish the board.
