Our strategy for Poached Eggs level 3-20 is to lob the first Black bird to land above the fourth pig. The explosion should leave only two pigs in the first structure. Use the first White bird to take out the leftmost pig. Loft the next Black bird into the left side of the right structure, detonating to shift the blocks rightward and popping all pigs within. Use the remaining two birds to take out the mustachioed pig in the middle. The score in the video below is 112,230.
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.
130k
1st b/b- To the second horizontal sloped stoneblock so that Black lands near the second pillar but a little deep.
2nd w/b- To the second castle but dont explode till you reach the castle. Explode when an inch near to the castle killing all the pigs.
3rd b/b- Cleanup! 20k Bonus!
I did this different. First bird high arch, land on roof sloping down, right behind the 4th pillar. If it lands deep and explodes right, it will take out the back two pillars, sometimes the force will even knock out the front one. Second bird, same as you, pushing the whole back structure over. Next bird as your first bird, or whatever is left to destruct. Got over 141k this way.
Mighty, I approach this the same way, you explains it perfect!! :)
Dont forget to read the above reply by Pointdexter5, it might help you and glad to help.
Mighty, you are right! I have been able to repeat my current score multiple, will keep working to improve. Thanks, Mighty & pointdexter!! :)
I was able to improve mine with a small amount yesterday, with the approach I listed earlier, so keep trying and you may be able to add more points.
I will, pointdexter, thanks for the motivation!! :)
Poindexter, it worked, I increased my score!! Thank you so much for your help, and iammighty, thank you for suggesting that I try his method. E-star, I watched your video, Try Poindexter’s, as mighty suggested. I know you will improve even more!!!! Make sure your video is running!! :)
I will try, its a fun level to revisit. But for now I’m keeping focused on the aks at hand… Playing as much levels (and recording and putting everything on youtube and if its a different strat placing it here in the comments) before the new AB Space that’s coming the 22th of March (which offcourse i’m going to buy, play, record and upload as soon as possible). I’m just starting the levels of ‘Danger Above’ for the first time (just counted the levels I still have to do, 198!!!) so maybe you can imagin how much playing/work i still have to do.
If I revisit this level, i will press the record button and if I improve my score, you’ll be the first to know :)
(if you have a subscribtion of this thread)
You have a lot of work ahead of you, good luck!! I know you will get it done. ;)
Thanks sunshine! I wil, get there… i’m a very persistent girl :) and offcourse an addict to the game!
I used the same methode as iamMighty. Way back when I didn’t make video’s I got 139490 with this methode, but I couldn’t replicate it. I did manage to make a video of this strat yielding a score of 128020.
Here’s the video
Glad to hear you were able to improve your score using my method. I don’t know how to record my games on the iPad, and often it takes hundreds of retries to get that magical score ou are trying to achieve. In some levels, it’s technique, in others it is just a one-time lucky shot. I had that happen in 6-15 yesterday. Same technique each time, then hit a lucky shot and increased my previous score by 10k, setting the second highest score on this level.
I’m excited too about space, but have to decide if I will get it, or try to achieve 30 million here first.
Oh my!! Tried all combinations of this strat finally it all came together. 128840…thanks to all of the above:)
oops meant to add I’ll b back to try for higher lol..but at least I beat average ty guys:)
thx E-star again ur vid helped to improve
@iammighty Thanks for the strategy. Had a below average score for this level and now in the 130k. Your description is easy to follow and implement.
On very rare shots, this technique will yield the nearly complete destruction of the entire first area, killing all the pigs. Then all you would have to do is topple the second area with the white bird, which is much easier, but still it doesn’t happen every time. I haven’t been lucky enough to do it.
I agree with Bill.
With first shot, like the one from video, it’s possible to take down entire first area.
Second shot would be to shot the white bird with lower angle and to release the egg in front of the structure, so that white bird pushes all down the hill.
But you need to have A LOT of luck with both shots.
Well, the first shot is really ‘random’ (the black bird has to turn over to the left a little, that really helps), 2nd shot is actually quite easy. I think you could still make ~150k with 3 birds. But you will really need some luck for that. 141k is my best, but I hope to have that lucky shot sometime to do this in 2.
I’ve done it with two, but the score still didn’t pay out. Just 130k, I expected much higher.
I’m wondering if this is actually possible at all on the Facebook version- I’ve got 3 stars on almost every level, but can’t even get one star on this one, and had to use an Eagle to get past it at all.
Even following the guide here is getting me nowhere..
Yes, BirdLeader has 3-starred all of Poached Eggs on Facebook without power-ups.
Yes it’s feasible, my best is 114k so far. One of the hardest of the FB version, no doubt.
I seem to have the same Facebook version as James, even using the technique in the video doesn’t work. The birds and the blocks in the FB version just act differently, I guess. I had to use the Eagle as well.
same, same, directly same situation i got :( my bombs r not blowing same like these on videos… God knows why….
This is a hard level on Facebook…
I SECOND THAT!! just had to show this, that’s nuts
Amazing Screen Shot
The angle of that bird seems way to high. I have shared my strategy on this higher up, but have not player the FB version, nor will I, so I can’t comment on that aspect. But I know when I shoot de white bird to take down the back structure, it goes just over the top part of what is left of the larger first structure, then drop the bomb right before hitting the wall. The angle in your screenshot, shows this bird coming in from a high arc, which I don’t think will ever give the same result.
Very high score (I have 150,340) is possible but rare using the approach described by Pointdexter5 on February 22. First black bird needs to wedge as deep as possible into the roof just to the left of the level of the next-to-last stone column of the large structure (but still in the roof above where the columns are). Allow the bird to explode on its own. Although many such shots will cause only moderate damage, every once in a while all 5 pigs are taken out, along with one or more of the stone columns. After hundreds of attempts, including at least 50 with all 5 pigs taken out, I just had a first shot that not only took out all 5 pigs but also all 6 stone columns. One-bird score at this point was more than 80K, but I didn’t write down the exact amount. This lucky shot left the smaller structure on the right wide open for attack by the second (white) bird, which needs to be detonated at the perfect location just to the left of the left-most column at mid-column level, such that almost all of the structure collapses to the right, getting all remaining pigs. Thus, success with only 2 birds, 3 unused birds for 30K bonus points, and a total score of 150,340. My suggestion is to practice making the second shot when the smaller structure is wide open, so that when you get a lucky first shot you have a better chance of following through with a really good second shot.
Hey, glad my strategy worked. I have seen your scenario almost happen a few times, but almost, so I think it just needs some time and luck. Will have to retry when I have some more time.
still cant break 100k but i did increase my score by 6k or so
