Angry Birds Bad Piggies Level 23-8 Walkthrough

One strategy for Angry Birds Bad Piggies level 23-8 is to send orange directly against the first structure, and trigger upon impact. Debris should clear the pigs on the left. Then send a second bird towards the top pig, and trigger upon impact. With some luck, debris should detonate the tnt below, clearing any remaining pig. The score in the video below is 68,000 even.

Aim for the wooden block that supports the “roof” of the first structure. The bird will cut through and then you inflate when you are under the roof. Debris will fly everywhere. A one birder should be possible but my highest score so far (76k) was with two birds. Second bird as in video.

I agree – before I came here I noticed the stone of the first structure was very rigid. I slide the first bird into the wood inside that tunnel. Helped create a better explosion. Did obtain some extra points I believe by using this strat.

I’ve been close to that one birder several times with just the top bird narrowly escaping flying debris. But even when the right structure collapses, I end up with right at 70k. This says that 75k one birder is possible. With some luck on how much debris breaks from the left structure, seems like more is possible.

But my current 76,820 was with three birds.

Reversing the shots in the video can be beneficial: Some extra debris will be available for crushing if the second shot goes straight ahead into the stone structure.

I will add my thanks to @thee-Michelle.

On my 85k score, I had 28k with the first bird without killing the small pigs on the left, only the structure on the right. Once, I got 30k, but I blew the third shot.

I haven’t been able to determine any rhyme or reason to what make Orange Bird explode forcefully enough to wipe out the structure, so I just kept flinging in the vicinity of the TNT and crossed my fingers.

Thank you @thee-michelle, this method really works. I just learned it and improved my score by almost 10K. Here is a detailed description. First bird on an arc to reach the TNT under he right structure. The best place to hit seems to be the left corner of the TNT. The goal is to destroy the right structure as much as possible. The second bird – to the top pig (same as the second bird on the walkthrough video). And then Stella should destroy the left structure. I send it to the stone plank below the wood and activate it a split second before the impact (to avoid bouncing off). On my best try almost all of the left structure was destroyed with only one hollow block remaining, and it made all the difference.

tried that again just now for the daily challenge and managed to improve slightly to 89650. the 3rd was not optimal (the 1st two were; 35k and nothing left to the right respectively 42k and nothing left on top): 1 damaged hollow stone and 5 pieces of wood are visible on the final score screenshot and i think there was more, so 90k+ scores are definitely possible (95k?).

yes, i beat my own top score, but only by a few 100 pts. i was already convinced that it could be beaten (in fact i still am convinced it can be improved further, see above), but up till now had no real incentive to try to do so. upon trying i somehow managed to beat it within 2 minutes. my fingers still remembered how to play the 1st two shots, but couldn’t really for the 3rd (in fact this was the first time today i played that 3rd shot) and it went only ok.

thanks for clarifying. i was not sure whether beating my own top score would qualify me for the underdog badge. on the one hand, beating the top score would seem to be sufficient for that. on the other hand, from the perspective of the naming, it seems a bit strange to be qualified as underdog when you are/were already holding the top score (b.t.w. i found out now that the notorious ‘Uh oh! There’s a new sheriff in town.’-mail is not sent when you’re the one beating your own top score. that makes sense, but it’s a nice detail nonetheless.) i’ve now uploaded a screenshot of that score to my album::
http://angrybir.de/17JwMfi
(just in case, still many hours to go; other things to do now)

domo arigato gozaimasu to @thee-michelle for the strategy, which now is excellently illustrated by the video of @crazy-rider. note that (cf. also the comments by @bonneypattycat) the scores to aim for after the 1st and 2nd bird are dependent on whether the pigs sitting to the right of the house on the left, are taken out by flying debris or not: the scores i had after the 1st and 2nd (35k,42k) were roughly the same as in the video (35k,43k) but the left of those two pigs was still alive in my case but not in the video (instead i had complete destruction to the right, no house, no car), explaining the 4k difference in our respective final scores.

Thanks @thee-michelle for the strat and @annach for the details. On my 87k I had 23k after the 1st shot without getting either wee piggie on the left. I’ve tried letting the OB explode the TNT then drop to the ground before activating him or letting him inflate on his own, & have managed to obliterate the right structure that way, but it all depends how he lands on the ground, & I don’t think it increases your chances of destroying that side.
90k+ is possible on this, the left wee pig survived one of my tries or I would have topped 90k.

The video from @crazy-rider is excellent to help aim the shots, especially the 1st one. The feather on top of the next bird in line needs to sit between the left edge of the sling & the edge of the bird. It still takes some luck to get great destruction.
I had 29k after the 1st shot without getting the wee pigs, & virtually nothing left on the lower right. 2nd shot I had 40k, & there were still 2 bags left on the upper right.
I tried to grab a screenshot of what was left at the end but the screen panned back to the left before I could. There was a cracked stone block & a bit of wood left, not sure how much.

@thee-michelle @crazy-rider and everyone else. After many attempts with this strat, usually not even getting 3-stars, finally managed impressive destruction with the first shot, and actually managed to get the 3rd one right. If you look carefully at Crazy Riders video, you can see a small dot where he positions his finger / stylus for each shot. This helped a lot and worked for me on iPad. I found the 3rd shot to be the most unreliable.

Thank you @thee-michelle for posting your strategy and all the others who added their tips and techniques. Started this level at 67K+ and your strategy did provide the knowledge to improve one’s score.

The challenge of this level was with the first Orange Bird. Obtaining the good explosion for points in the 30K range was a timing issue and the fun part to overcome. Also had the situation where the stone and wood sticks to the base rock in a vertical or angled position. When it is not wedged it is interesting to observe…how does it do that?

This level demands three precise shots with a lack of aiming cues in the background that can assist in the landing points. Instead I used the distance of the birds from the base of the sling prior to launch. This took a while but it did work eventually.

Aimed Stella to the second from the bottom hollow stone block’s upper half and activated her just before impact.

This was a fun level to play because it did test one’s eye-hand coordination. Refer to these levels as a “fling and a pray”.

I’ve been playing this level since last night,using the variation on the AMslimfordy video,shooting for the horizontal wood near the top of the left structure. No matter how many times I tried,I could not get over 76,690 points. Today,after reading the comments page,I started trying to follow the @crazy-rider video technique. For some reason,I just can’t get Stella (Bubbles) to put out more than 3 bubbles. After a couple of hours of frustration,I went back to the earlier strategy. This time,the first orange bird went midway between the 2 wood pieces in the first tower before I detinated. Debris flew everywhere,taking out the pig upper right & sending the sandbags to the tnt below. This took out the entire lower right structure. A 1 birder for 83,130. It may not be the top score,but it’s the best I’ve been able to accomplish. Happy flinging!

Thanks a lot to @crazy-rider for the video ;-)

It was a really big help.

Probably my fastest high score ever.

Sometimes you spend one week on a level only to give up at the end, but for this one I think that it took less than 10 successful first bird to nail it.

By successful, I mean with the nice destruction of the right structure.

Here is the result after the first bird: http://oi42.tinypic.com/svm5uu.jpg

From here it was only a matter of not missing the next two birds.

The second shot is so simple I will not insult you by posting a trajectory (watch the video, it’s perfect ;-) ).

played this level for the first time in 7 years, and indeed much easier now due to the changed behaviour of ob. 100220/2. played it a bit differently now: 1st high arc to just right of the left structure, expand near the top of its right wall. hope for good deflation (destroying the left-house and taking out part of the bottom-right structure) for a 60k+ score. 2nd as described, toward the top-right pig, expand in its neighborhood and hope deflating ob takes out the remaining debris in the bottom-right corner. not that frequent, but had several 95k+ scores, where before getting 90k+ was already a challenge.

addendum: had some 1-birders but scoring only in the low 90ks, although i can imagine favorable top scoring circumstances (some flying debris taking out the top-right pig, left-house pushed off the cliff, deflating ob taking out the bottom-right house). there’s something like 87k damage points in the level, so say 104k/2 is plausible.

sorry @vuelva, confused by your 11.49am post which directly contradicts your two earlier posts same day which say that this level has got easier. I think your top score is indeed now vulnerable as I am repeatedly getting up to mid 90k and 4th place, with debris left over after 2 birds. Is your last comment in the wrong place? There are loads of good players who are way off the pace here.

Rank: Gold Flinger with 9485 points
By to mock a mockingbird (@vuelva)

yes, 95970 is getting close already (in terms of the ob doing almost the right thing), so 100k is indeed vulnerable. good luck.

in my post i was just countering your attempt to draw attention to the vulnerability of that top score, tryna dissuade people from replaying the level to protect it.

no direct contradiction though. although it was deliberately ambiguously worded so that it could be construed that way, formally i only stated the truth that, after your message i tried to improve my 100k score for a bit, but couldn’t since the level hadn’t gotten easier … since my 11.49am post.

btw way more points to be gained (for everyone) in some other levels where i have top scores i think. e.g. 180k+ in 37-9 is easy once you’ve got the hang of the strat (the 190k top score is less vulnerable than this one i guess, but achieved just by technique, no freak score as some others here on abn are, so not untouchable when combining technique with luck)
