The best strategy for Mine and Dine level 17-15 is to lob the Yellow bird and accelerate through the TNT on the left side. With the White bird, bomb the left-side of the remaining structure and cause the bird to ricochet into the stalactites above the far-right tower. Fire the Yellow bird into the remaining tower or into the TNT on the right side. The score in the video below is 118,680.
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.
133,860 with 2 birds. First yellow bird high and almost straight up. Zoom down into first TNT. White bird straight to right, dropping at last second… Clears out rest.
where are you dropping the egg? i can’t figure it out.
I think if you can drop the bomb on top of the right tnt(instead of over the top of the king pig), you can score higher than the video. This will explode the tnt and collapse the far right structure. I have been trying this, but unless you can get the tnt to explode the king pig in the middle, you have to use the yellow bird to get this pig.
This is basically what I did 1st bird like video crashes whole left side 50+k and @wanda has got the explanation down exactly right! If you can get the egg to ignite TNT on the right you’ll do it with 2 birds and a lot of damage!! The white bird flew up and knocked the 2 stalactites down causing even more damage from the right! Last 2 birds 10k each! gl
@kimmiecv, I am so glad you were able to do what I can only imagine (so far,anyway). I think I might spend some time in the mine today :).
@wanda it took a few hours! And I’m oh 100% sure you’ll get it! not to mention your scores no small thing either :)
I’ve been spending some time down the mine trying to reach the score addict total and despite getting to withing 6k of it couldn’t nudge it up any higher, so I had a look in this thread. Got to the point where my first shot always hit the left TNT but never cleared enough to get a proper knock at the right TNT with white bird. Eventually got it and cleared the level in two but I didn’t quite catch the stalactites.
Thanks to all who’ve posted in here, specially @wanda for concise instructions :)
I like the 3 bird strategy a little better for the reason of knocking all the stalactites down. First two birds exactly like the video, better scores are obtained when the second bird is able to detonate the tnt and knock the far tower over to the right, at this point all pigs will probably be dead but there will still be the stalactite to the left and the black stalactite in the middle. Using your third bird to clip the bottom of the left stalactite and continue to hit the stalactite in the middle with easily yield you more than 10k and give you score of around 140k.
Possible Easter egg in the movie after this level?
If you notice that after the eye of the miner pig closes, the wound changes into the shape of a downward arrow. It’s so obvious that I started clicking below the arrow, swiping, etc.,, but nothing happens.
Anyone else notice this or am I just over-analyzing?
I also noticed this “arrow”. In my opinion, this “arrow shape” just looks like some wrinkles in his eyes. Nothing else. When is the Angry Birds movie going to be released weeks, months, years?
I agree with Kidguy. It does look like a downward error, but if you look at the pig sideways, you’ll notice that it just looks like the natural shape of his blinking eyes.
I wished this was a Golden Egg though. I think Angry Birds needs to start putting Golden Eggs in places other than in isolated places or in treasure chests in levels. Many users have already found most, if not all, of the eggs that can be attained outside of the level.
Hmm…
Movie was released many months ago. It is called “Rio”. it is already out on DVD as well
Rio isn’t an Angry Birds movie, ABRio was based on the movie Rio.
apples and oranges! means the same thing…I was merely posting in reply to the original poster who was asking when it was going to be released.
Has anyone managed to get TD on this level? I have 99%, but can’t finish it. Very frustrating – like 2-12.
Every level in both AB and Seasons has been confirmed as possible, except for Seasons Greedings 16…
Yeah, I’m not getting it either, and I’m pummeling the heck out of it.
Re: Chris’ advice.
where are you putting the can?
The sardine can must be quite a bit right. There is a video walkthrough for this level.
Finally got it, and here’s how. I pushed all 4 birds in fairly quick succession straight over. Not much was actually destroyed, but I did manage to have 2 yellow and one egg-layer still in the pile by the can when the eagle came. Three birds + eagle = TD. There are other levels like that where it’s much easier if you can have the eagle hit other birds and use them for some of the destruction, but on this level it’s difficult to keep the other birds around long enough to help.
I did this, and it worked. Thank you!
I’ve completed the whole game (original)but trying to find the chrome dimension and the google+ episode. How do I get them?
Those levels are not in the “normal” apps (such as on mobile devices or tablets). You can find Chrome Levels in the chrome.angrybirds.com game, and CD/G+ levels if you play online on Google+
Can anyone pls let me know how to get chapter 17 on IPad?
Been trying to find out but no luck
Thnx
Go into the AppStore and check your updates. It should be there.
Else, you can manually search “Angry Birds”.

Great job on the video!
134,650 – one bird.
I dropped the yellow bird from on high into the first TNT, just like I’d done a hundred times before…this time it triggered damage in such a way that EVERYTHING came down.
Very satisfying.
Me, too. Awesome. But my score was only 126530.
138830 using this 1bird .. dropped the yellow bird on the first TNT, whole thing fell apart .. the entire ship rocked towards right taking out the right most TNT, which helped the ship rock back to left, debris fell over king pin taking him out, the mast of the ship hit the steel tower, toppling that .. got lucky with this one .. ;-)
Not quite as high a score but as you say VERY SATISFYING!!!
I have done that once or twice too. But that’s not how I got my high score. This is just a theory, but I believe there must be hidden stalactites or something beyond the far right viewing threshhold above ice blocks that you can barely see. Every time I hit that area, I dont see anything get destroyed, but I can hear what sounds like stalactite crashing into the glass. It nets me anywhere between 10,000 and 20,000 extra points, depending on how many of them fall. But no matter what I do, I can’t come anywhere near the top scores of 154,000+. I don’t see how that seems possible.
It’s the “lake” made of glass blocks to the right of the far right pig, I bet. They sound the same.
145k or so, two birds. Use the yellow bird, fire it towards the bottom of the closest stalactite. Speed it up so that it brushes the bottom of the first stalactite and causes it to fall, and the bird will continue on towards the next pair of stalactites at the back and hit one of them. Both TNT boxes should get hit by the falling stalactites, leaving you to kill the king with one white bird.
Using this method, got a one bird bingo, 147,250. ;)
I had the previous high, using two birds, one up high, the second to finish the rest. I can try what you claim many times, but the stalactites in that way never get close to the TNT, neither side. Are you keeping screen prints of your highs? I always do in case anybody questions my score.
Used Beh H method. The two tnt’s exploded. Got the king with the second bird. 137,740. If I would have gone in flat to pick up the stalactites on the right, another 10,000 points could have been had. Took many 100′s of times to get both TNT.
Wasn’t having any luck with the one bird method. Instead I got 138k+ 4 times in about an hour. First two birds exactly like the video, except the second bird needs to push over the tower on the right. Then third bird use just like the one bird strategy and clip the bottom of the closest stalactite and continue on to the middle one, lots of points in these stalactites.
essentially used this method in a 2-bird variant. some details:
1st bird) shoot such that it hits the tip of the first stalactite
if you speed it up when it is roughly level (derivative zero, this seems to increase the
chances of hitting the rest). as described above this should take out
both tnt’s (not so frequent, but not that infrequent).
in the case of my score (146,600) this led to total destruction
of the `boat’ (including the king pig), but left the rightmost structure
(with the pig on top) intact. then to destroy the rightmost structure i used my
2nd bird) shooting to the right such that the egg exploded near
the structure, the bird taking out the stalactites.
the latter fell on top of the structure which in turn
fell flat (to the right) on top of the glass, generating plenty of points.
given the final level of destruction, i think the score is quite
high for a 2-bird clean up, but also that 1-bird clean ups
can achieve more points (150k?)
230,950 No Stradigy here
And yet the highest score posted on the leaderboard is 144,400. Perhaps you meant 130,950.
Sorry this should have been Posted on the #26Golden Egg Site
Now it all makes sense :)
If you want to repost this is the correct place (here) I can delete this thread.
I also think you mean GE-25 with that score.
Is anyone else experiencing difficulty viewing walkthrough videos on this site?
I can’t view walkthroughs for any levels of any AB games. I love this site but now I’m stuck on several levels. Thanks
Hrm, playing fine for me. What device are you using to view the videos?
Hi! Why does 6-17 say coming soon with locks on it? I player all of the boards just short of a few golden eggs.
Do I need all 3 stars. Help me please.
Sounds like you need to update your app. Check your AppStore.
Mine doesnt have this episode! and the next episode tooooooo!!
where can i update my angry birds?!
Depends on your device, but usually just go to the AppStore for your phone.
I have android 2.2.1 . I checked android market and samsung apps but I didnt find anything. :-(
Assuming that you got Angry Birds through Android Market – follow these steps.
1. Go to Market
2. Select Menu and select My Apps.
3. Scroll to the app that says Update above the star rating, and select it.
4. You would be given the option to update.
5. You would have to select a couple of more things, and the update will download. You also have an option to auto-update.
Now I have get 3 stars in every level and all golden eggs! Thank you Angry Birds Nest for helping me to get 3 stars in every level and all golden eggs. Angry Birds Nest is the best Angry Birds side!
i did this level like this
1:yellow bird:through the 2 planks of wood so he can destroy the right rope
2:white bird: quickly launch her so the egg can destroy the right tnt and the yellow bird gets blown up (results ALWAYS varies, that mean king pig may or may not be destroyed)
3:yellow bird 2:like the 1rst shot in the video
4:yellow bird 3:if the king pig survived launch him (if you think your score is low restart), if the king pig did not survived and the leftmost pig was defeated,bonus
i got 120,940 this way (with the bonus last bird)
HOORAY!!!! Been trying for hours to 3 star this level, finally got it with your method except that with the second bird, the yellow bird blew up and destroyed the whole level. 133,200!!!
A lot of interest in this one. One birder is the way forward for a high score. I got mine launching the yellow bird to just clip the bottom of the first stalactite and then on through the rest. It all happens very quickly after that. Right TNT exposes and then a chain reaction.
First time commenter. Got 145,910 with 2 birds and it could’ve been higher. First bird like video, 2nd bird low, drop bomb on the grey stalagmites (the ones that come up from the ground) just in front of ship, bird ricochets up to gray stalactites above 2nd TNT.
Thanks @ Dr O’Neski. Used your tip but accelerated yellow bird on an upward curve to clip first stalactite then take next stalactites near where they join the rock. This way they seem to do more damage.
@AMslimfordy, current top score is 15k higher than second place. Can that be right?
Tammy’s a long-time member here. I think it’s probably a typo, not vindictive.
Okay, thanks! I did see her “explosive” ranking, I should have guessed it was likely a typo.
