One strategy for Danger Above level 7-9 is to fire the Red bird head-on into the hollow stone square, popping the pigs at the extreme left. Loft the Boomerang bird over the structure, spinning it just above the horizontal wooden plank. With a bit of luck, the falling stones can trigger the TNT in the middle of the level, clearing all pigs. The score in the video below is 134,540.
Version 2022:
A bit easier if you hit the tnt straight on(without tapping).
I tried different way’s to approach this level, but every strat has the same result… is the TNT going to blow or not. Most of the time it didn’t :(
The strat I used was shooting the red bird just above the left stone triangle. This makes the right side collaps and 1 in many times blows up the TNT and all the piggies on the right side. Only the piggies on the stairs are left. I fired the boomerang bird backwards (don’t know if it makes any difference if you shoot it straight on) taking down al the piggies on the stairs. Got 142540.
I found this tactic the easiest, because you know within the first shot, if the TNT blows up. making the replay of this level shorter ;)
Here’s my video
Nice strat, I got 138520 with the green bird straight on.
Very nice tip – thank you!
@e-star Thanks for the video. It worked so well was able to obtain a 1-bird solution. Launched the first bird as shown in your video and the debris just fell in the right areas. Just a lucky shot. Found that if both hanging triangles fall the damage is greater. Gained 3k in points. A two bird solution appears to be able to produce more points because of the debris destruction.
cheers @e-star :D I’ve been going through DA to try and get closer to the score addict achievements, and this one’s been a bit of a thorn in my side. I’ve been trying to push my score up bit by bit but since I saw it come up as a challenge, I thought I’d place my faith in your videos again and it paid off! exactly as above :)
Your welcome everybody, Glad it helped :)
It is possible to get a one-birder using this method. I got really lucky when the tnt blew up and some of the wood debris hit the stairs and those piggies were taken out as well. I think my score would’ve been higher if more debris could’ve been cleared out.
Current, almost certainly very temporary, high score during the daily challenge. I followed the video strat again after many attempts with estar’s. I hit just below the hollow concrete block and that block rolled forward intact to take out several of the pigs on the flat while the collapsing stairs eliminated the pigs thereon. Score of 44K+ with this first shot. Then boomerang bird to just below the horizontal shelf and as always the lottery of the TNT exploding.
red bird flung same as e-stars video but hit the edge of the stone plank above the triangles, everything seemed to fall down in slow motion, destroying the right side and exploding the TNT. I’m sure the score was 88k after first shot. B-bird flung forwards but quite low n returned to take out the lowest pig on the staircase and removing the left group of pigs…….. 3 bird bonus
Congratulations @kinkykiwi and @bikkit! I believe you are the first players EVER to take over the top spot on the Challenge (legitimately)!
Also, thank you both so much for, without being prompted, sharing your strategies. You have no idea how happy that makes me. This here is why I love this community, and why I believe AngryBirdsNest is a true community of collaborative players.
Edit: It has come to my attention that the amazing @sunshine also accomplished this feat, on Go Green, Get Lucky 1-3 (challenge level on 25/26 June). My apologies for missing this.
@slim – WOW! That was a shocking piece of info. @kinkykiwi – Congrats on your great score, honest reporting, & sharing of your strategy! We need more like you. And to @bitkit for temporary 1st place with a score I’d gladly take. You both are worthy challengers in the nest.
@amslimfordy Thanks for your kind words, Not wanting to jinx it but this is my first top score…ever !!! After loosing my ABO game progress i kinda moved onto seasons and space and rarely play ABO unless it is a daily challenge.
I am in debt to everyone who has ever left a strategy….. feels good to repay one again
P.S.. any chance you could speed up the ” next level in” clock? lol
@kinkykiwi and @bikkit congrats on top rank to both of you!!!!! You both help this community so much!! Thanks for making this a fun place to be!! :)
Nicely done @kinkykiwi! I think your top score will { … } *cough* not jinxing this one :D
First, congrats to @bikkit and @kinkykiwi on beating today’s challenge top score. Second, I would like to mention that my top score on Cold Cuts level 2-7 was beaten when this level was part of the daily challenge. However, now that I look at the leaderboard of the person who beat it, {…}, it looks a bit suspicious to me: most of his scores are below average, and only this one is top score. Also, I think at the time of that challenge scores no longer ended in 5’s. Slim, could you please check if {…}’s score is legitimate?
Thanks for the info. I’ll add you to my list. I need to keep a closer eye on these sorts of things. I’ll also check into that other score.
@aleksch – I have added you to the list. Would you do me a favor, if you remember? Could you head over to the CC 2-7 walkthrough and share a strategy? I’m compiling a full list, and I think it could be very helpful. If you used someone else’s strategy, a reply there would be perfectly sufficient.
Congrats again, and thanks.
Turns out I’ve missed a few other people. Sorry to them:
@aleksch – Cold Cuts 2-7 – 19/20 June
@mvnla2 – Utopia 4-3 – 20/21 July
@wanda – Danger Above 7-1 – 21/22 July
@DonnMega – Go Green Get Lucky 14 – 10/11 August
@amslimfordy, thank you for the mention. That was my second ever high score:). Congratulations to @kinkykiwi and @bikkit for today’s scores. Awesome job!
I’d say both strats work equally well. I got 143780 with @e-star‘s method (ty) ;-) and 144650 with the walkthrough’s method. Thanks for the great tips!
@lesleyg, I agree with you. Both work well, in spite of that green bird (which I still do not like). I did get just slightly higher by following the video- but I just tossed the green bird over and landed just to the right of the Tnt. Debris detonated it.
@aleksch @amslimfordy @sunshine @wanda @kinkykiwi Thanks for the kind words and sentiments guys, I totally endorse the comments about the ABN community, I feel I know the main contributors even though we’re spread around the world and the likelihood is we’ll never meet face to face, more’s the pity!
What we need is an ABN conference…..
Right, I’ve woken up, cleaned my teeth, walked the dog and my next activity is, as always, the daily challenge!
@bikkit I have thought about an ABN Conference as well!! I second that idea….how about it @birdleader and @amslimfordy ?? :)
@sunshine @birdleader @amslimfordy – aha, the nascent stirrings of a movement, let’s hope it gathers momentum! Rio seems an appropriate location but we wouldn’t want to overshadow the World Cup and Olympics… Seriously though, I’ve had a little experience in organising this sort of thing and would be more than happy to do my bit. Unless sunshine and I are the only guys who think it’s a good idea in which case we could conference in a telephone booth somewhere!?!
…ditto @duffy, even though you can’t spell bikkit!
@bikkit – My bad. Sorry about misspelling your name but I’d still take your score. And I’m still impressed with your honesty and your willingness to share your strategy. Thanks again.
@duffy no worries! Bikkit is actually the name of one of my cocker spaniels but as he has no thumbs I have to do the flinging for him!
Well, Bikkit is a lucky Cocker to have you flinging for him.
I found directly flinging the green bird, or using a reverse remi on the left pigs gave 27-29000+ points whereas flinging it out and reversing it in the usual manner gave 32000+.
One bird method achieves consistent 149k+. Latest attempt above 151k. Hit plank above two triangles so red bird bounces back to take out pigs on left steps. Right side falls, TNT blows with little debris remaining. 4 bird bonus.
One birder 150k:

Thanks @comex666 – used your 1 bird method for high score @sweetp for puppy, please.

A huge amount of R&R required to force this over the line. Same bounce back method as described about. ABO, not Classics.
