Our strategy for Mighty Hoax level 5-13 is to fire the first Black into the left side of the tallest structure. Land the next Black bird atop the mustachioed pig. The farther right he lands, the more likely the last pig pops. The score in the video below is 60,710.
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.
If you shoot the black bird into the ice pit, it blows up the left TNT. You also get more points for the ice damage.
Here’s my video
Used this for a 2 birder, in the first try! Thanks, E, for sharing all of your wonderful methods and tactics! :)
Same first shot, but I loop the 2nd bird next to the rightmost pig, more damage and 82630. Thanks for the strat.
Thank you @crazy-rider, the top scores are really to do with the second bird.
I landed it inside with the last pig and there was a tremendous blast to the left, clearing out much of the debris.
As usual E*, well done and thank you for sharing.
@e-star Thank you for the video and alternate strategy. Increased the score by 7k.
As an alternate, launched the first bb to the far right and took out the stone triangle. Second bird in the middle area. Obtained 67k.
I got about a 4k increase doing it this way. Oddly enough, on the PC version, at least, the black bird generally skips along the glass balls until it gets stopped at the stone “conning tower.” With a bit more angle, the black bird still has enough energy prior to detonation to break through the stone, into the interior of the “sub”-structure, (nice pun for an ex-Navy guy!) causing way more damage. Also, this still makes for a 2 bird strat.
@truckdriver & @doctonynyc, try landing Black between first and second glass orb from left. It won’t skip much this way and still able to detonate the TNT. Triggering manually upon impact with the orbs at a slightly higher arc might do the job as well… ;)
Great strategy, @estar. You make it look so easy! This is still tricky, as @truckdriver says, the BB skips along the top of the glass balls most of the time. It takes so practice to get the shot right, and then you have to hope there is enough destruction to get as close to the fruit as possible on the second shot.
@e-star, @crazy-rider, @jens, thank you guys for the amazing combo… :D
Furiating level, again. On my best score the first shot was still quite mediocer, maybe 35K when two of my best shots have been 40K and 44K. But when the first shot get big points the second shot fails to kill the last pig.
Got 82k =) do it like the vid.
But try to keep the farest one a live,
then use the white one do kil the last
was only trying to find a way to improve my previous best (79k, so should be doable i concluded) score by experimenting with the strategies described above, when suddenly had the current top score of 92k.
1st) into the pit (as in @e-star video), tnt exploded and gave good destruction of the left part. don’t know the score since i was not paying attention to it, only to that the sail of the submarine would be sent flying to the right destroying several glass balls (to allow for the 2nd to break through). that was the case here and the debris had ended up in two stacks one to the left of the food, the other on the right side of the stone slab covering the food (this is not infrequent).
2nd) through the stone slab covering the food (on the left, between the two stacks mentioned above, just next to the support). it reached the middle before exploding hugely. 82k destruction with 10k bonus for 92k.
was happy with the result but didn’t realize how good the score was until i checked here at abn. no idea whether this is repeatable.
