One strategy for Angry Birds Bad Piggies level 21-14 is to fling a Yellow bird through the ballooned-pig and into the right half of the structure, crushing it. Fire another Yellow bird straight ahead, and maybe another, causing the remainder of the tower to fall. The score in the video below is 131,500.
If you have a different strategy feel free to leave a comment below; however, don't just post your score via the comments, as that's what the leaderboards are for.
Left part of structure tilted noticeably to left for 60 pts. Should have helped get higher score, but of course, I couldn’t take advantage of it. Only happened once in many restarts, but I wasn’t looking. May take a while since I was interrupted for a min?
Saw it again, this time for 20 pts, but I didn’t wait for ever. Again didn’t improve my score. I’ve noticed that you can get entire structure to collapse after 1st shot in video, but so far makes it more difficult to pop remaining pigs.
@mvnla2 i had the whole left side collapse and it looked like the right side was very unstable after.
The right side collapse just put a lot of debris on up off the bottom pig.
Then i have got 10 ,20 points on restart several times..
@Kathy — Thanks! @BirdJo did a detailed analysis of this level which is on p11 of forum (I haven’t gotten it summarized on p1 yet). If you have time, take a look and let me know if you saw anything different than what he reported. I’m working on the revisions, and will try to figure out if anything else should be added.
@mvnla2 yw will do:)
This is the hardest level, for me, to three star. Still don’t have it and getting frustrated. Any advice would be appreciated.
i am with ya pal. the only way i can see it working is like the video. the key is to get the second shot all the way through the lower left sandbag.
One bird! for one measley star. I agree with @PlayDBird, very frustrating level.
I agree! One bird for a lousy one star? Don’t know that I’ve had that happen to me before – I’m used to it not being 3 star, but one star is a new one.
Just do it like the video and don’t give up Play D Bird. You can still get 3 stars with all 4 birds if you get enough debris left over for Terence to take advantage of. It was indeed frustrating but the key is to make sure the right collapses after the first shot. That pig though seems to survive 99 percent of the time that the right side collapses on. It seems like a plank is always there to keep him alive. However, you can still then clear the left and have yellow/terence take care of him and any debris.
When I got 3 stars it was weird. I caused the right to collapse and that one pig survived. Then I caused the left to collapse and a piece of debris went flying and struck that annoying pig.
Yes, with four birds I had my second best score of 128k. Still, it was a long time coming…
indeed, a long time coming but: 136k with four. was playing for the video shots (in reverse order), but 2nd left the middle pig as is often the case. cleaned up the back with the 3rd, and sent terrence bowling low through the already heavily damaged debris. the bump acted like a ramp, launching terrence up again, taking out the pig and some more (had already scored 130k twice this way, but on these occasions terrence didn’t get that far).
One birder 125,970-make what is the 2nd shot in the video your first.
Do it like the video, low score.
Do the second shot first, better score.
Use Big Brother, good for nothing on this level.
First shot first, second shot first, and still no 3 stars.
Almost 1-Birder, leaves you punching the walls.
Okay, enough ranting and raving, now I’m gonna kick some butt.
Finally! Did it exactly like video about 50 times until it came out like it should.
Just like in the video, shots 1 & 2 executed in reverse order got me 3-stars. Not sure why, (strange is becoming commonplace here), but I’ll take it.
Grrrrr….. stuck on this one!!! I have 124,620 so I know I’m close… damn scenery just wont collapse properly…. lol. Gonna need a new phone by the end of the day at this rate :-)
I agree with Rigger 124,550 and I’m ready to punch in the glass in the phone LOL. This is the last level I have missing 3 stars in all 5 editions, AUGH!!!! Going to try the reverse method but not holding my breath … I have seen on this board that people who complain usually then get it … trying that strategy
133830 – Got PO’d trying like the video, so I took out the left side first(second video shot).
The right side(still a loft shot) did a lot better of collapsing as it didn’t have the left side to stop it from falling.
Not in the top ten, but I’ll settle for it for now.
Liam and all who suggested doing the second shot first — Thanks! Didn’t work for a while, but probably spent less time on this method than the video. Got 131900, and out of here.
Thanks Liam for the post doing the left side first. Took a while but it did work.
Aiming tips: Activated the 1st Yellow Bird from the sling to hit the horizontal wood plank above the bottom sand bag. Zooming out adjust the space between the base of the YB and the knobs in the dark brown background. Zooming in adjust the left tip of the YB with the ledge on the back ground cliff. Someone mentioned about obtaining close to 60k with the first bird and that is a good suggestion.
Second YB like the video.
Second video shot first. One birder with lots of destruction.
Nice score @jdubes70096! Good to hear from one of the higher scorers on this level :)
I got a one-birder using the same strategy @jdubes70096, but not enough destruction to get 3*s! And of course I was too shocked to get my second bird ready to get additional damage points. Grrrrrrr!!
Finally!! Probably would have gotten the “smash maniac” achievement on this level alone if I didn’t have it already…
Reversed the video shots and got just above the 3 star limit. Will probably never return to this level!
I’m not sure it makes any difference which order you shoot the shots. You just have to do your shots the required 200 times until the AB gods decide you deserve it.
:-)
I kept coming back to this level trying to break 130k, hundreds of tries each in the order of the video and reversed. No go. Tonight, going only for the left side first, I had four 131k scores within thirty minutes. Go figure…
Now, if only I can add to that…
Finally broke 130k! Again, I attacked the left side first, getting 67k, then finished off the right side for a total of 134k.
If you go for the left side first, I suggest getting at least 60k, otherwise reset.
125660…3 hours. Shot 2 first, then shot one. Rubble fell just right and piggie on right busted in the downfall.
NEVER doing this one again!!
The painful part of this level is that sometimes shooting the YB at the right half makes the left part to collapse also.
Good part: All the pigs will surely die.
Bad part: Destruction is not enough to obtain a three star score let alone a highscore.
So, first YB in a low arc such that it goes though all the way to the horizontal wooden plank at the top right of the sack. IF done correctly, the whole left collapses. Second YB in a high arc though the balloon and to the wooden wheel.
I aim a pinch higher than the plank, hitting the base of the first thin vertical stone. This pushes the stone in at the base causing better collapse of the whole left side. The planks can get broken in the ensueing collapse.
Nice strategy @BPC, but as far my aim goes I also tried this method but ended up hitting the stones. Nevertheless, Thanks for the tip. :)
Just saw the left part of structure fall to the left for 23730 pts; not clear if it helps. Please report any other self-destruction in the self-destroying levels forum.
Same here @mvnla2, the left of the level also collapsed for me though not much but I think it will be counted as self destruction.
I used the same method as the video.
This is another one of those levels driving me nuts trying to get a better than average score.
My strategy isn’t different than the video… I just repeated it about a gazillion times. Good Luck!
Having a hard time with this level… That said, has anyone else had this…. Uh, issue… No matter what I score on this level i get 2 stars. I scored 98k first time passing it and received 2 stars… And all 200 other times i passed this level too… ODD.
The 3-star minimum is clearly listed above.
@BlueJay this is most definitely a Very Hard level..read above posts
My only advice is to keep trying..playing like the video eventually it will fall into place good luck:)
Yes i have gotten 3 stars now… I guess i wasn’t clear…. There was no way for me to get one star. I usually am able to gage how close I am to to 3 star level when I hit the second star… on this level that wasn’t the case every time I passed it was 2 stars my score was was 90,000 or 124,000 always 2 stars.
This was a tough one, finally 135,910 two birds
Yes, mnimum 200 times of repeated masochistic joy. Finally, as I listened to TV and casually played my second certain-to-suck shot, I heard “now watch this”–I did, and now I swear I have no idea how I got 3 stars. Perhaps closing one’s eyes may be an effective strategy.
Second shot first. One bird finally caused large amount of damage. Frustrating part is I was only 400 points from the top score! I’ll settle for third.
What a hard, hard level this is on the iPad HD version. Almost but not quite impossible as far as I’m concerned. I eventually managed 128k. It’s so much easier on my iPhone, which it shouldn’t be.
Possible cause. Just been experimenting on the iPhone version and I find that if the red bird is used, it will (usually) clear up the debris very effectively and give sufficient points for 3 stars. On the iPad HD version the red bird, for some reason, lacks any sort of power and is almost useless.
I managed to do it with the first 2 birds, fired them low to take out the supports. Surprisingly managed to take out the entire structure. o.O
GAAAHHH! I’ve never spent (wasted) so much time on one flippin’ level trying to get at least the average score but I’m too frustrated to keep trying. Almost 200 resets, left side collapsing in self-destruction, one-birders, and bad flinging second shots is enough for me! As others have mentioned this has got to be the hardest level in all of ABO. The L-Factor has eluded me on this one. :’(
