Our strategy for Mighty Hoax level 5-8 is to fire the first Yellow bird into the wooden triangle on the left, causing all three stones to roll out of the way. Use the next Yellow bird or two at horizontal trajectories to trigger the two TNT within the boat. Make those piggies walk the plank! The score in the video below is 86,100.

I shot the first yellow bird with a high lob strait into the left TNT. Takes a little bit of practice, but if done right the whole left side blows up. Second bird into the right TNT, resulting in a score of 95320!
Here’s my video
Awesome, great tip! Thanks! :)
Yep, thanks! That got me 95360 1st attempt your way. I gave up on the video version.
Thanks for the tip, I got lucky and both TNTs blew up from the first shot 106960
Thanks loads for your video! Helped me immensely. ;)
Glad to be of help, been working on ‘danger above part – 2’ it’s a slow but rewarding process :)
You even had bad luck on debris. Can’t seem to get below97k on a 2 birder. No 1 birder as well though.
thats a really tricky shot..i know i did it before..just cant do do it now!
Hail to E-Star!
@e-star Thank you for the video and the alternate strategy. Worked great!
Amazing @e-star. As I start looking to increase my scores, I keep finding your videos helping me out a great deal. They are offering new strats, so are extremely useful. I had racked my brain to hit 93K on this level. Ten tries following your video added 10K to my score. Look forward to encountering the next one.
As per usual, @estar, great strategy!
That first shot is very tricky (talk about needing to “thread the needle”), and there is zero room for error. If anyone is having a hard time figuring it out, you need to basically pull YB straight down as tightly to the slingshot as you can get it.
It’s amazing how much the debris can vary on the first shot! I was able to get the first shot several times, and most times ended with scores in the mid 90s. I had one, though, that was in the high 80s. 100s are certainly attainable here. One shot clear? Not very likely because, even with the explosion for the first TNT, the second is quite well protected.
The best method of lining up for this shot, at least in a way that I can consistently duplicate is to pull straight down on the sling until yellow’s left corner ( yes, I said corner, after all, he IS triangular!!) occludes about half of the width of the vertical riser of the slingshot. After launching, wait to accelerate yellow until he’s about most of the way down, lined up dead center, or nearly so, with the vertical axis of the helmet pig, then tap to start the party. Yellow should then quite easily drill down to the TNT, causing a spectacular detonation, with lots of attendant destruction.
Correction: Make that yellow’s RIGHT corner.
Gawd, one can make such silly mistakes sometimes…
ty @truckdriver your precise directions were great
Glad to be of help.
Thanks @E-Star ! This staregy gave me an extra 10,000.
Whoo Hoo!! Thank you for the vid. My Dutchie friend! Lost my place in top 100 and between you and Ripsy with his Pat I’m baaaack in!! :D oooo big kiss kiss to you! :•
well if u can hit the bird on the left box containing the tnt it will blow up the whole ship ive scored 103010
Thank you @e-star, managed a one birder using your method, you are a legend
As is mostly the case @e-star your strats are invaluable and have helped hundreds of players on ABN, I myself raised my old score by 4k+ a little while ago using your method.
I do however point out that this is a very precise first shot and that a lot of resets are needed ’til the main objective is reached, also worth mentioning here is that second shot, which also requires some skill in lining it up correctly, especially when the game takes all the planks it can find to obscure and block your shot as much as it possibly can. Happy Hunting!
great job @werewolf69 and I can only smile with pride knowing I can help many flingers out there, just by recording my plays (yeah and a bunch of other stuff before it gets here but o well)!
Thank you @e-star, coming from you, I must regard it as a compliment of the highest magnitude. Happy Hunting!
@e-star thank you as always, wonderful idea & video. Lots of points in breaking the glass underneath.
I find it virtually impossible to accurately aim the 1st shot, once the yellow bird starts climbing back up the slingshot after you pull him straight down, I can’t really control him. Maybe there’s some trick to this that I’ve missed, but I usually just do a quick pull down, let him fly & hope for the best.
Hey @e-star — This worked like a charm. I hadn’t even gotten around to reading @rdnzlrips82‘s tips below, but I agree with his suggestions. Good luck all!
Nice strat @e-star! 12K increase and finally above average at 93910. :D
WoWWW!! All these great messages for me I missed somehow… awww sp makes me feel great to help so many to a good score! And @harmkt I see you got a nice trophy to go with that new extra 10K! Nice job!
thanks all for the big smile on my face cause of all you lovely messages!
@E-Star Thanks again, I did it with your help.
This 2-birder was so much fun, watching everything blow up and racking up all of those points!
I am able to “thread the needle” but can’t generate the force necessary to break through the last horizontal wooden plank. I find, often actually, that on my iPhone I get less debris than others and there is less force behind the sling. Anyone else have an opinion? I’ll keep trying though, it’s a great strategy! While waiting for new levels I’ve come back to enter scores…it’s like playing from scratch. : )
Thanks E-Star. One bird w/high arc into first TNT which set off the second TNT.
Thanks Estar all your vids give me incentive to go back and Redo and upgrade my scores. :)
If you haven’t tried this method on this level in a while, it might be worth a revisit with a current update. With v5.0.0 on an iPad Mini, I found the first shot to be pretty easy, hitting every two or three tries. I got 100K in about ten minutes and then a one-bird for a top ten score (for now!) in another five minutes.
I have no idea what might be different, but it sounds like this strategy is more straightforward than it was on earlier versions.
@bonneypattycat This one is definitely easier. You can blow up both tnt’s with the first bird, like demonstrated in e-star’s video, quite frequently. Even if you don’t, you can still break 100k more often than not with another bird. Give it a try (but not too many please :) )

Thanks @angrychicken! I remember this one well, I spent way too many hours on it ;) I’ll give it a another go tonight.
O.k. this is where i thought i was…i am 714..ish pts off average here…just cant seem to make up the extra the pts anywhere..have tried E- Stars strat ….ty so much:) thats how i got as far as i did!!! Tried and tried…havent tried whining yet…so now i am inducing the “WHINE ” factor..:( :( :( with a couple sad faces for good measure and pity:(
I hate to butt in here @kathy, but I saw you were having trouble with beating the average so I worked up something for you. I was fully zoomed in. The first shot on this level can be tricky. What I do is pull the first bird straight down. When he gets close to the base of the sling, you see him start to “climb” up the sling base. The magic spot to release the bird is right before he climbs. It’s tricky to hit this shot, especially if you are playing on a small screen. The unwritten key to the first shot is the fact that the bird will lose momentum if it hits the horizontal plank on the mast of the ship. So the ideal first shot comes down just to the left of that plank. Just eyeball the acceleration point. The ideal second shot is the fun part. Pull the bird straight back. See the sling strap on the leftmost pole? Simply align the tip of the bird’s hair with the top of the sling strap on the pole and let him fly. You will need to accelerate as the bird begins it’s downward angle. I hope this helps. And sorry again for butting in. I just like to try to help.
@rdnzlrips82…dont you worry you.are not butting in..i appreciate the help..thats first shot is exactly what i am having trouble with, so ty for your prcescise description:) gonna give it a shot right now:)
Lol see first shot out!!! No lie i got !! :) 92090…ty…ty…ty:)
@rdnzlrips82 I got it! With estars video and your Pat I’m back up from 101 exept you guys helped so much I’m at 85 now!! Thank you for the this and the pep talk in BP! Oh and it looks like this is where BP may have started to come to life?? Whoa what are the chances I pick this level to conquer and my fav hang out started to become reality here too! Gotta love it!! :D
Hey @rdnzlrips82 is this the conversation that started it all – the inspiration for the Bloated Pig?
Why, yes! Yes it is. I thought it got purged a long time ago. Slim asked if he could clean up right after we opened.
With E-Star’s strat & rdnzlrips82’s refinment I finnaly got this one in the bag.
Still two birds but 99k+ is a big improvment.
Thanks Guys.
1 birder thanks to E-Stars method. Both TNTs blew.
I’ve always thought this was one of the hardest levels and one of my least favorite in AB MH. happy just to beat the average!
@swelld, that sounds an awful lot like a defeatist attitude, (much like I used to be at the beginning of my AB addiction) get back in there and kick some Pork butt, use e-star’s method at the very top, it worked for me, so I know it’ll work for you.
lol @werewolf69 ! I suffer from CQN syndrome when it comes to angry birds but there are just some levels I detest. I am by far from defeatest I just have had a marathon session with the S-15 level and the jedi addict badge this weekend. gonna let this one pass.
@swelld I couldn’t agree with you more, I know because I’ve been trying to get the glitch on S-15 for the past 3 weeks without any luck whatsoever, it just doesn’t want to happen for me, so I figure if anything I’ll just have to settle for 1 badge less.
that one has to be tough on PC. Just walk away for a few days go back and start flinging without reading strats and see what happens. You’ll get it @werewolf69 !
Who knows? Maybe I’ll do that, and try again when all the furor over the badge has subsided, as a matter of fact, that’s exactly what I did with the DA Badge I waited until the end of last year to get it. Thanks @swelld
For those having trouble getting the sling to hit the magic spot:
Try pulling straight back and then moving the sling down towards the sling base. It seems to slide into place easier that way than if you pull straight down.
Looks like the beginning of the BP got purged. I guess Slim found it!. :D
