Angry Birds Mighty Hoax 3 Star Walkthrough Level 4-20

Our strategy for Mighty Hoax level 4-20 is to lob a Black bird through the second horizontal stone plank. Doing so will cause the vast majority of the structure to collapse. Use the Yellow bird to clear any wooden debris out of the way, then use the White and Black birds to bomb your way to victory. The score in the video below is 111,390.

Managed 122660 with 4 but had pretty lucky first 2 shot. First shot goes into the front concrete vertical just below the roof to end where the pig is for maximum damage. I had near perfect collapse and destroyed the front tower almost completely for 40k. Send yb into the upper part of wood over the dice and you will have pretty good collapse, in my case I killed all the pigs in the middle structure and had pretty good collapse. wb into remains of the middle and part of the back. black bird into the back tower to destroy left overs. I had very little debris left

I managed my first two shots as you described, with scores roughly in the same range. This is where it gets a little bit tougher, as those wood and concrete sections that aren’t outright destroyed tend to stack up in a diagonal pattern which lends bracing strength to the remaining structure, so the placement of the white bird for the egg drop becomes more critical. It needs to go where egg detonation can do the most good by opening a gap for the black bird. Fling the black bird into the gap, at an angle that needs to be as low as possible, to get the rest of the pigs.

Used this strategy and improved by over 5,000 points within just a few minutes. I’m going to keep working on this level because I want to master the first shot. It doesn’t look like it should be tricky, but destruction is definitely variable.

managed almost the same score (122,610) by doing almost the same.
1st) just below the roof (so that it didn’t roll back), but only got reasonable destruction (32k+)
2nd) to upper part of wood over the dice (almost horizontal, should go above the dice), took out the remainders of the left tower as well as the top two layers of the middle tower (frequent) and its lower left part as well including the lower-left pig and the vertical beam to its right, in the middle of the tower (not frequent).
3rd) low arc, activate just beneath the diagonal stone slab to take out remainders of middle tower.
4th) high arc to the one-but-last pig, breaking through both the horizontal and diagonal stone slabs, exploding just next to the vertical one.

after 40k with the 1st, you can get 90k after the 2nd with complete destruction of the left and only a few damaged stone slabs of the middle tower left, if it’s your lucky day, for potentially a 125k+ score i think (but then you shouldn’t flub the 3rd while attempting to scroll to the right to see where to aim (but throwing the bird instead yielding zero points), because then your score will be more like 118k after the 4th….)

124 k much like @rocklands for today’s challenge, but used different first shot: Bomb bird as low as possible, actually rolling on the foundation, to break through concrete slabs and horizontal wood and drop halfway down the right side of the foundation and self detonate. This scores consistently high thirties to low forties.

But ermmm @surfcow … Isn’t your iPad attached to you? I have had mine attached to my lap, as I am always comfy on the couch with the iPad on my lap. Major surgery! But so worth it, I never have to go on a search party ever again looking for my iPad and losing valuable flinging time anymore ;)

This is my first time commenting and love the site. I play on FB and have numerous high scores, top 5’s etc. on there. Having placed the black bird exactly as the videos above show 100’s of times I can say that the version on FB simply does much less damage than the videos show. One usually ends up with with stone covering up what’s left rendering the y/b virtually worthless and making the level almost impossible to complete much less get 3 stars. I have also tried the going in from the side method with similar results. HELP!!!

Welcome Llyod! Actually there isn’t any difference if seen while doing damages on different platforms though you can give this methode a try Mighty Hoax Level 4-20 Walkthrough

By LloydM

Thanks Mighty but that’s what I’m saying. I’ve done that exact method 100’s of times. It simply doesn’t destroy remotely as much as that video leaving a lot of stone piled on top. Just trying to get my 3 stars(I’ve got 2) and am extremely frustrated.

By Gary

I agree with Lloyd… that video is a joke if you compare it to the results on FB. Even superseeding the first bird does no where near that much damage!
I’ve been stuck with 2 stars on this level for ages… guess there’s nothing to do except to keep trying and trying and hoping for a lucky fall.

Is anyone still playing this level in Chrome? I’m finding that even if I do get the first shot right, it doesn’t break down the diagonal or vertical stone pieces let alone the lower horizontal one, so my damage is very little. My aim isn’t quite there either. LOL! I only get him to land in the correct spot about 1 in 10 tries. This is with @AMslimfordy video and instructions as well as some from E-Star’s video.

I know I’m a bit late to the game, but anyone have any hints? The birds in Chrome just don’t seem to do the damage that I see in the videos on any level.

By Tweety bird (@kimpossible-12)Score: 118,380

@Laxietoo, try this. 1. First blk bird shoot nearly straight into steel frame. Keep flinging until you penetrate first cross bar and kill at least left most pig. You should destroy all piggies in bottom left and clear a path to the wooden structure in the middle. 2. YB goes at the wooden structure w a slight curve so it takes out the horizontal and vertical wooden bars. Score at this point should be at least 7300. You can just take out the vertical bar and still do well. 3. Use white bird to clean up any remaking piggies or debris in the middle. The more wood you destroy, the more points. 4. You should have three piggies left on the right, four is okay though. Use the last black bird to destroy the two birds on the far right. Arch it so it breaks through the horizontal bar and explodes on the ground. You may get it in front of the third bird and take out all three. But the two on the far right are the hardest to kill with any other bird. If you’ve cleared all the piggies, you should get a three star score. 5. If you need it, use the last white bird to kill any piggies in the middle. You won’t get three stars though. Good luck.

128410 for the daily challenge. I did this a little differently but also with 4 birds.

1: Very low, just over the wall into the horizontal wood of the left structure. This should break, making BB fall into the bottom left part. Plenty of 40K+ scores here. I think this is the same shot that @gladvold already found.
2: Same as others, high through the vertical wood of the middle structure, over the dice. A good try gives 80-85K with 3 pigs left or rarely 85-90K with 2 pigs left
3: High arc, drop the egg exactly on the middle of the right structure. Results vary a lot, sometimes you will only break 1 plank and sometimes you can break all 5. This can take a few tries before you get it right but it’s worth the risk.
4: Again low over the wall, just missing it, into the remainder in the middle. BB should end up under the diagonal stone plank and make it fall over on top of him. The explosion should also take care of any stubborn piggies on the right, assuming you had a decent 3rd bird.

You can also do this with 3 birds if you got all the middle piggies on the second shot. I managed this a few times but with dissapointing destruction.

The first bird should take out the horizontal wood piece on the right side of the left tower, which then detonates as it falls down. Should give about 86k-92k each time if the middle tower also collapses.

Left to right approach using Classics – first bomb bird flat arc designed to nestle up against the right facing wall and take out all of the left structure (at least 42k). After that it’s all about clearing as much as possible from the left to set up the second bomb bird at the end. Having said that I wonder if the @cg358 first bird could fluke a 1-birder or at least set up a 2-birder. If so 140k could be in reach.
