Angry Birds Danger Above 3 Star Walkthrough Level 8-14

Our strategy for Danger Above level 8-14 is to launch the first Red bird through the balloon holding the TNT block and into the stone block behind it. The impact should cause a chain reaction of TNT, leading to the column on the far-right detonating. Loft the next Red bird through the first three balloons above the level, gaining significant points from the falling structures. Pop the remaining pig with a Red bird. The score in the video below is 86,040.

Done as the video shows, but it’s easy to see that the highest scores are scored with 2 birds not the 3 used in the video. Point being, that the video method with the 1st 2 birds is the way to go.. Make sure to hit the balloon on the lower half to get the TNT to carry over to the far right to explode the TNT stack. It’s pretty easy to get all the pigs with the 1st bird, but to get the higher scores you need more destruction. I like to shoot my 2nd bird as soon as I see a good TNT carry with the 1st bird. Doing it quick like that insures you won’t get shut out after the last pig dies. My best here is 98,620.. Good Luck..

Aim first bird at first stick with tnt on top hitting it just right so tnt tumbles to the right but not hitting the tnt hanging from the balloon. Now scaffolding with two tnt’s on top should be gone. High arc on second bird to take out three balloons and hitting the last stick with tnt on top getting a nice chain reaction. Key to high score is destruction of scaffolding. 102680

After the first bird there probably will be a pile of wood somewhere. The tnt swings, so time your shot so it will swing on top of it as soon as the balloon is snapped by the falling platform. Can’t record so let’s just wait for e-star to do that.

WOW! Thanks so so much … finally did it. And you’re right … getting rid of scaffolding IS the key!

What a great strategy, thank you @haddock5, added 10k to my score. I timed the 2nd shot to release the red bird just before the swinging TNT starts to move back to the right. This way the TNT tends to drop down without being hit by anything to get a bit more destruction on the ground.
@e-star thank you for the video. I’ve been replaying some of the older levels & it’s wonderful to see all your great videos, they’ve helped me a lot along the way :)

I’ve made single shot, saves 3 birds. Do you want an alternate attack? Here, first Red bird launch to a balloon and Red bird continue to wooden platform vertical, a bid high of that. Make sure that TNT is not blowing before hit that wooden platform again too, a bid high. That stone platform hit unprotected pig and TNT hit to triangle stone makes the rightest structure is topple to the 4 TNT and blow. That is the strategy, but a little amount. Just try it to an highest score.

Curious to see if anyone has any success with the strat described by @haddock5 and shown in e-star’s video. I’ve tried 50 times straight, with slight variations on where red hits the pole, but it breaks every time and the tnt just drops and explodes. Maybe I’m not trying hard enough, or maybe it’s been changed in an update? I’ll keep trying. Anyone had any luck with this?

Update on previous comment. I’m certain that Rovio have changed this level in an update. I looked out my old iPhone which I used when I first played ABO. The shot described, (the one shown in shown in estar’s video), works EVERY time. The game version is 4.2.0. The version on my iPad now is 7.9.1.4 etc and the shot never works. It’s been vandalised lol!

Dusted off my iPad 1 with AB version 5.0.0. No luck on this version either. It could just be me, but I usually get lucky at least once in 100 flings. Tried on version 6.0.6 too, but no joy as expected.

@peejaydee27 @zebung I am suffering the same frustration, that wooden post is a toothpick now. However, I have had some success with reducing g the power about halfway and hitting the same spot.
But since I am still an old school thumb on a little phone slinger, power adjustments are nearly impossible and certainly not repeatable. Times like these call for a tablet and stylus.
I have also bounced red, try aiming down until you get a sliver of light. I get the TNT to move, nut only once has it gone far enough to push the central structure.

Thanks for the strat variation @knichy. Tried bouncing as you suggested, aiming using the “little sliver of light”, and sometimes managed to launch the tnt but not strongly enough to replicate the shot on the earlier version. Couldn’t score more than 98K. Had a few tries on my old iPhone but I find the screen too small now – big thumb syndrome! Couldn’t beat my previous best and maxed out at 104K.

@knichy and @peejaydee27 a tablet didn’t help with the reduction of power, but as others have stated I tried bouncing off the ground first. That worked a little better but not getting good results.

By knichy (@knichy)Score: 89,110

@peejaydee27 and @gumby – slight delay in answering, but to clarify, a tablet with a stylus gives far more latitude to control power, if you try reducing power on a phone with your thumb you cant even see the bird.

I found that a quick tap about where you think it should be released from produces the desired results (meaning a reduced power shot about where you want it to go) about 1 in 10 times. Not great reliability

@knichy my tablet is the same thing, using the finger and makes reduction of power shots tough.

As described by @haddock5 and demonstrated by @E-Star. First bird into stick supporting the nearest TNT. TNT lifts and goes to the right destroying the middle. Second bird high arc to clip the two balloons of the first floating structure and the first of the second one. Etc.

Thanks @hoy49. Using your method, I did manage to get the TNT to flip up toward the first tower, but I never got a lot of damage. Probably more down to my lack of skill. Regardless, I appreciate the tip.
