Our strategy for Easter Eggs level 3 is to fire the first Black bird head-on into the bottom of the first structure. The explosion should cause both the left and middle towers to fall leftward. Launch Big Brother and the second Black bird into the last structure, trying to pop the stubborn pig on the right side. The score in the video below is 115,720.
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.
117,500 finally after watching the video.
you only need 108,310. I got 3 stars with that
Used pretty much the same method and got 117,620!
124.030
I see you’ve posted a lot of scores via comments over the past months (great scores BTW). Why don’t you post them to the leaderboard instead and compete with the rest of us? Posting scores in comments is really only helpful when you provide a solution as well (i.e. how you got the score). Hope to see you on the boards!
WhAt does I.e mean? :)
i.e. is a Latin abbreviation for “id est” which translates to “that is”. It is usually used as a way of saying “for example.”
Dang y’all must be good !! I suck at this one :) I’m doing the thing where if u get 3 stars on all of em u get the big egg.. Yeah I only have 3 mre levels this is one of em ;)
Here’s a different approach to this challenging level: first bomb bird aimed high drops between middle structure and right structure. Second bird takes out what remains of first structure and any piggies left. Last bomb bird, if needed, clears right structure and pig at far right. Good cluck. Aloha.
Variation- bomb bird heads just over top right edge of middle structure, hits right most structure’ drops, then explodes when it hits rock protruding over wood post. Big brother heads for the door frame & bomb finishes off what is left.
Good start. increase 8 k for me.
This strat worked for me. Thanks @surfcow
I refuse to cheat by watching the walkthrough, but 1-3 has to be one of the most difficult levels to get a 3 stars on. I think it’s one of the most difficult to just finish. That far right pig is almost impossible to hit.
UGH!!! I hate getting a 3-star score and still having a pig there looking at me!
I did it!!! I’ll be having nightmares about 1-3 tonight.
Lol, I hear you. I’ve had about 20 attempts before getting above average which all ended up higher than my highscore but left the far right pig alive! Rovio should move that pig, very cruel placement.
OK, I just gotta ask why @srduck would even bother visiting this site if he/she believes watching a Walkthrough video makes you a cheater. Seriously? Aloha.
What’s the secret to getting all the secondary damage needed on this level to score more that 105,000. I’ve cleared it many times but my best was 105,010, but usually it’s in the mid-90′s with a lot of material lying around. Most times my first shot takes out the first 2 towers and it usually takes the last 2 birds to get the last 2 birds: the last lower right and the second to last on the right (conveniently protected by blocks and boards.)
I have been working on my score addict achievement. And this one has really driven me crazy. My question is..or statement I should say is..why does the levels constantly end when stuff is still falling? I feel I should ..and would get more points if this didn’t happen. It makes me crazy!!!!!!!! Oh well..I’ll keep on keepin on!
used the black to get the tnt to get it in 1 shot. score:110330
In case anyone is interested, here are a couple of comments on the video strategy (this is what I used for a somewhat decent score). Launch the first bird so that it hits the small horizontal piece of stone just to the left of the hollow wood square in the first structure. The bird then should drop straight down to the vertical rectangular stone below. Manually detonate on impact. This should cause flying stone to break up enough wood so that the entire structure collapses to the left. You can get well over 60k points with this shot. Launch the second bird just like the video. After the first 2 shots ideally you have a clear final shot with minimal debris in front of what remains on the right. I got more points by launching the third bird lower than the video – so that the bird goes all the way to the rightmost hollow wood score. No guarantee you will get the last pig, but if you do you will also get more destruction.
I admire all those scores and wish I knew how the were achieved!
Thanks HallieGinSB. I’m going back to some of the levels that I played ages ago and trying to improve some scores. Your strat helped me boost my score on this one.
Hallie thanks. A most useful strategy. This level was impossible without it.
GRRR!! Why on some levels does the level end while debris is still falling and breaking? Is this a bug or something?
Just happens sometimes. It’s a logic issue, and a very difficult one at that. You also wouldn’t want a level to drone on forever just because one little item is still slowly rolling.
Actually @AMslimfordy, that does happen a lot, especially in levels with bouncy lifesavers or other objects, I had one episode in Rio I believe it was, where my end score was off by about 2k from 3 star, and this little piece of cement kept bouncing on the lifesaver scoring points as it bounced and gave me 2k+, thus taking me over 3 star score.
How are those players getting 120+ on this level? Is this score doable with just 2 birds? Is it worth putting the time in to try and get r done with just 2 birds? I just don’t see how those top three players got 132 – 136K… Even if done with 2 birds, I don’t see how its possible?? Answers, thoughts, ideas anyone?? :-)
I’ve just come back to this level and tried this variation to get more than 120k for the 1st time. First bird low to first tower. It doesn’t really matter if the second comes down with it or not. Big brother bird is the key shot. Take out as much debris of the first and second tower with a low bouncing shot through damagedstone blocks. I had a score of 66k after this. Then with the last black bird you need to get it to go through the bottom stone vertical block with grass on the side, roll through the pig with ears and then detonate. After many attempts this caused enough destruction to take out the final pig and 122k achieved. Definetely more destruction possible.
This is the most frustrating level in Easter Eggs section. I have tried all the methods listed here and get same amount of destruction but my highest score is still only 104,430. :( If someone has a tip not mentioned or that improves on one of the above I would really appreciate. Other than throwing my phone across the room. Lol
Okay, finally got my 3 stars with score of 109,580 using method from this guide.Thank you to the people who created this guide and everyone that posts their strats. :)
Got over average with an accidental shot! Sent Terrence in too high and he sent debris crashing down on the stubborn pig (the one that refuses to die on a good scoring attempt!). Left 2 pigs on the left of the last structure which could be finished off easier, and with more debris destruction, by the second bomb bird.
138k? @moonsabre @donnmega @marc987 or anyone else up there could you shed some light here?
@swellD 1st is sent almost straight across, aim is for the long stone horizontal and the smaller one right under it. b/b destroys both and drops straight down, detonate as soon as gets to the stone block/hollow. results will vary from 50-63k+. 2nd is to clean the debris and points, depending on how many you had from first you should be anywhere from 65-70k. 3rd is not easy, 3rd can be sent in either to the bottom or the top small stone vertical to the left of pig with white bunny ears, either will work. The key to the shot is you can not hit the top if you go low and vice versa, next you must pop the pig with the ears it can not roll over him, lastly you need to get b/b snug against the long stone vertical that is to the right of that same pig. Its not easy and there was much debris left the few times I have managed it so 135-140k is attainable with this strat.
thanks @donnmega ! I guess I will spend most of the day trying then!
finally got it to work @donnmega ! thanks you1
@DonnMega…I am still working on it but your strategy is sure the way to go. That crazy rabbit ear is driving me nuts. I can’t get tight up against the right wall. Thanks for the heads-up on the high score.
Thank you @donnmega for the details, I appreciate how you are always so willing to share your strategies.
So far I’ve managed 123k using surfcow’s strat (thank you @surfcow) but I’ve come so close to scoring higher using your method if it weren’t for that pesky right pig, he has to be one of the best protected pigs I can remember on any AB level. I’m having the same problem as @mikeinmont with the rabbit ears getting in the way of the bomb getting all the way to the right wall, will just have to keep trying. Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing @donnmega As for the #2 shot. I have found that (depending on what’s left after the first shot of course) bouncing Terrence near the left end of the rubble often gets good results. Your #3 shot so far eludes me, so at least at this point my 118,210 score is with the video method.
Thank you @donnmega for posting your strategy. The first two birds were obtainable as written and their placement with the resulting scores were very repeatable. The third bird, Bomb Bird, was the challenge in getting it into the big pig and next to the vertical stone plank.
Aiming technique for the third bird: zoom out and use the light blue top line of the cloud in the background to line up with the bottom of the bomb bird. Minor adjustments slightly above or below the light blue line may be needed to get the BB in the correct position.
Here is my Challenge High Score Screenshot. I will post a very detailed PAT
as soon as I get to my laptopbelow. I was flinging a couple of birds before getting the kids to bed and nailed it.I pretty well went like 10 clicks above horizontal on first shot. I let the bird hit the ground and self-detonate.
Sent Big T through debris and ended up with 71k after that shot.
3rd bird into big bunny Pig and hit a sweet spot with self-detonation. Every block of the last section flew in the air leaving me with about 6 stone blocks and 2 wood blocks.

Congrats on the well deserved badge, @rdnzlrips82:D
wow! congrats @rdnzlrips82 ! what a great group of flingers to top and an unbelievably hard level to win the underdog on. well done
Well done @rdnzlrips82! I can’t award this weekend though. If it isn’t done by Monday, can you remind me?
Okay, here’s the PAT, as promised for my Top Score. I played fully zoomed in. As usual, some shots may have to be adjusted slightly for optimum performance on different platforms.
Bomb #1: Pull back to complete horizontal. You need to drag your finger up slowly and count 10 clicks (changes in sling strap position.) The desired result is to have the bird take out the thin, vertical stone plank and the vertical stone block that is right behind the hollow stone square. The bird will push the small, horizontal wood plank and fall towards the ground. Let the bird self-detonate. As the bird falls to the ground, the first tower leans to the left. When the bird detonates, this pushes the tower further to the left, taking out some of the grass that is worth 110 points per section. With luck, the middle section of the structure should sustain heavy damage from the blast and tumble down nice and slow, giving you those ever important stone crumble points. It will also make those stone blocks nice and weak for Big T’s shot. If you end up with 50-58k on the first shot, you are looking at a good chance at over 120k.
Big T: Ahhh! Big T. That big, lovable, uncertain behemoth. He can be your best friend or worst enemy on this level. His aiming point depends solely on your leave from the first shot. The ideal shot, is to hit the ground at the perfect angle turn into a topspin to zip through all of the debris. Also, you want to hope for luck and have some form of debris, or even Big T himself, take out the grass piece that mysteriously grows on the bottom stone block to the left of the Mustache Bunny Pig. This helps your 3rd shot get to that crucial sweet spot necessary for a nice score. My end score after the Big T shot on my High Score run was a little over 71k with both grass pieces missing.
Bomb #2: This is one of those levels where two perfect shots can be made completely useless by the slight misjudgment of trajectory on a crucial 3rd. This shot is one of the most unforgiving shots of any level. But there is a sweet spot in that space that will create an explosion that looks more like a nuclear explosion.
Anyway, pull the sling back to the full horizontal position. Now, pull the bird down slowly until you see the first bit of light between the sling straps. Now, count 15 clicks (this is as close to the actual number as I could get.) Upon release, the bird will go through the bottom stone block in front of the Mustache Bunny Pig, pop him and roll on over the ears. You will know if you got the sweet spot if every thing flies into the air and everything is destroyed. During my Top Score run, I had 6 stone blocks and two wood blocks left on the board. With that being said, a truly skilled player could cough up an extra 2-3k over my score. Heck, anything is possible. And it will probably happen in about a week. That seems to be the life expectancy of my Top Scores, anyway.
So, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. And feel free to join me for drinks at The Bloated Pig in the Forum tonight. The drinks are on me!
Good luck and happy flinging!!
Here is a horizontal shot of my screenshot. I didn’t want anyone to break their necks like they had to on the old one.
I used @donnmega strat for this level, but it was frustrating to say the least. The third bird is a sanity killer… I managed after 3 days to get one run like he said (first bomb straight forward, detonate on impact, Big red to clean up and last bomb bird into the structure at the right). Only 121810, but after 2 days, I am happy to move on and leave this for a revisit of my revisits on a rainy day :D
Here is my video.
