Golden Egg #8, or better known as the “Big Pot o’ Gold” is unlocked after you obtain 3 star all levels of Angry Birds Seasons Go Green, Get Lucky. Once you’ve accomplished this goal, tap the pot in the middle of the Golden Egg screen to open up the level below. To obtain the star, wait for the piles of gold coins to pop themselves, then snipe the big leprechaun pig with a Red bird.

beat it all. ranked 253 in the world. took me 90 minutes. woo!
Pot o gold I got 67,000. I just waited for all the gold to explode. Once that was done I used one bird to kill the big guy. Took a little longer but got more points.
Got 67,500 shooting first bird straight up and into the pot. ;)
67610 on golden pot. Just lucky
Thanks I got 67330 with this strategy.
You can get a few thousand more points on the pot of gold level if you wait a bit. The coins undergo some sort of radioactive decay and will eventually all “pop”. Then fire your bird to get the piggy.
All 18 levels completed with three stars; golden egg and “pot o’ gold” completed. What’s next?
Just pure fun as ever!
Update: score on “pot o’ gold” 66830; score on all 18 levels: 1648340. How do I rate?
Claudio
Pot o gold – 66910 (not worth going for the litte pot outside)
1,650,130 overall
Pot o gold: 58050
Overall score: 1,690,560 :-)
I’m going for the points achievement – it’s quite a tough one this time! I’m about 10,000 short and trying to pick them up here and there is tricky! Anyone got over the line with that yet?
Pot of gold – 66830
Overall – 1,724,490
Target is 1,735,000!!
Yeah, I’m also still working on that one, too. Seems to be a pretty high total to reach!
Actually I had misread that. For some reason I thought it was 1,750,000. But I just hit 1,737,000+ on my break at work. It’s actually a pretty attainable threshold. Good luck!
nice one! I’m up to 1,728,000 so just a few more bits and pieces and I should get over the line too. Give me this week of train journeys to work I reckon! haha
yeah 1,735,000 is a bit random. Maybe supposed to be 17 March??? the 173 bit – and they decided 1,730,000 was too low so upped it a bit. Cheers Rovio! lol
I’m so glad I revisited ABS after getting my new phone!
Pot ‘o Gold = 67,920
Overall = 1,864,820
Ranking = SCORE ADDICT … woot-woot!!
Has anyone been able to get all the leprechaun hats on the golden egg level? Have been trying for a while. Can get all but two.
Is it possible to get both Pots of Gold on the Golden Egg level?
Yeah, I was able to do it. Didnt do anything, but good dot points.
Thanks Bird. Guess I’ll keep searching for the egg…
I got 3 stars on all 18 levels but the game won’t allow me to play the pot o gold level how ddo I fix this
Get all the golden eggs.
I have three stars on all levels and it want let me do the pot of gold either. It want open.
Did you copy data over from another phone by chance?
I copied data from an other iphone ! is there any way to fix this problem ?
You have to copy over the settings.lua file as well. It also has to be the same type of device (e.g. no iPad to iPhone).
i didn’t copy data and i did get all the golden eggs
Did you pass the Facebook levels as well? Also, did you try a soft reset?
i did pass the Facebook levels but i don’t know what a soft reset is
What type of device are you using?
the palm pre
Ah. Have you tried powering off and on the phone?
if you mean by holding the the power button then no i just take out the battery
And I assume that didn’t fix it? Your last resort is probably to email [email protected]. If they provide a solution I’d love to know what it is.
ok thx
My record for pot o’ gold is 67780
HI
I have got 3 stars on all Go Green levels and found the egg in level 8 but I cannot access the pot of gold evel?? Am using an iPhone which I have rebooted but still not working. Any ideas please??
You’ve achieved 3 stars in the facebook levels too?
yep have 3 stars on all levels including Facebook ones.
The same thing is happening to me. I achieved 3 stars on all levels (including the Facebook levels) and cleared the golden egg from level 8, but none of the stars are lit on my pot of gold. I’m playing on the iPad 1, and, after clearing EVERY other Angry Birds egg/star level currently available to play (Rio, Seasons, Original AB through the Ham Em High episode), this is the only thing I can’t seem to get to work. (And yes, my device has been reset several times since I originally completed the rest of the Go Green episode over a moth ago!)
I see others have had the same issue but no followups on if/how it was fixed. Does Rovio have a list of known bugs anywhere that I can check?
Nice to know it’s not just me but still very frustrating!!
Hunh, I’d recommend sending a tweet or email to rovio and see if they know if this is a bug or not.
The stars don’t light up until after you beat the level. Having 18×3 stars unlocks it, not lights.
Oh yeah I didn’t realize it but if I’m reading the phrasing correctly, Ambersand is having trouble with seeing the stars lite up while Nattles is having trouble even getting the level to open.
She did, they actually sent her here for help. I’ve seen this issue before, but only when the highscores.lua is copied from one device to another. If you don’t transfer the settings.lua file the Pot ‘O Gold level (or any other 3 star Golden Egg levels) won’t open.
Nattles, if that isn’t the case, have you tried doing a soft reset (i.e. double tap the home button, then hold down the icon and close Angry Birds completely)?
I did tweet them earlier but they just directed me to this site which I had already found anyway! I have emailed [email protected] now. Thanks!
I’ve seen this issue when data is copied from one phone to another. Did you do that by chance?
It is ‘lit’ up but just won’t open
We’ll help you try and get to the bottom of this. Be sure to use the “reply” button that appears below your comment. If you don’t it’s hard to tell what you’re actually responding too. Just a heads up.
Sorry – thanks for the pointer! I was replying on my phone and it was a bit fiddly! I have not copied any data to or from the phone – all I do is sync it with my macbook.
Do you mean I should delete the app from the phone?
Thanks all for your replies and help!
No, noo. Don’t do that. That will delete your progress in the game, making you VERY unhappy. One thing I guess if you are bored and/or a score addict anyway is try replaying each level until you get three stars on each one again, preferably and hopefully higher. And actually I’d start with 18 and go back. Maybe one of them just didn’t register or something. I’ll really just speaking out of my rear, but it’s what I would try. Good Luck.
Hi Thanks for the reply. I replayed level 18 and got a higher score but still nothing. I had a reply from Rovio asking me what device I was using so fingers crossed they may have an answer.
Thanks! I have 3 stars on all levels including facebook levels but didn’t know to hit the pot of gold and now I can’t get the pot of gold to come back (it’s there when it says “total domination – you achieved 3 stars on all levels.” Any ideas?
Swipe the screen from left to right and you’ll get to the Pot ‘O Gold screen.
which screen? the facebook levels screen?
Yes. Golden egg and Pot o’ Gold will be on the 3rd page of GGGL (Go Green, Get Lucky). Swipe all the way to the right.
There only appears to be one golden egg once you get to the Pot of Gold screen (3rd page). When playing that golden egg, it shows it’s #7. Easter picks up at #9. Where’s the #8 golden egg?
I achieved 3 stars on all of GGGL (including the Facebook 3). So, where is the missing Golden Egg #8?
#8 would be the Pot ‘O Gold level.
so the 2nd ‘egg’ is *not* literally an egg… its figuratively an egg? its truly just the pot?
Pretty much. They refer to these as Golden Egg levels, but it’s not really an GE.
I am having trouble on Go green, get lucky. I have 3 stars on each level and I have the golden egg, but I still can get the second egg. The pot of gold isn’t lit up. Please help!
You have to actually pass the Pot O Gold level before it will “light up”.
Ok, but how do I do that? Whenever I tap on the pot of gold, nothing happens.
Have you 3-starred all 3 Facebook levels as well? If you check the episode selection screen, does “Go Green, Get Lucky” say 54/54 stars?
Yes it says 54/54.
This could be a side-effect of the fact that the Facebook Button is broken. Rovio is working on a fix for the latter issue, and hopefully it will fix the former as well.
Thanks :) i hope they do
My Pot O Gold isn’t showing up even when I completed all stars including Facebook levels and golden eggs
Can you elaborate on the issue?
Hi,
For Go Green Get Lucky, I’ve completed all levels with 3 stars (including the FB levels) & I still don’t show 3 starts in the gold pot. At the end with the other golden egg found on level 1-8. I tapped it as instructed and nothing happens. Any suggestions?
Let me see if I understand. You have 3-stars on all levels (verify this on the Episode Selection screen; it should say 54/54 stars on GGGL) but when you click on the Big Pot o’ Gold, nothing happens?
I have exactly the same problem. I remember having completed that gold pot bonus level once in the past, but now it shows no stars and can’t click on it. I have 54/54 stars on GGGL, of course.
I have the PC version, and the GGGL has only 45/45 I haev three starred all of the levels that are there, but still don’t get any stars on the big pot. However! I can click the pot, and it plays as it should.
Posting once is sufficient. No duplicate posting, please.
As noted in the PC Seasons release post, the Facebook/Twitter levels that appear in some episodes are not currently available for Mac or PC. This may change in the future, but it is simply the way for now.
Thanks, thought that might be the answer. Rovio seems to flat ignore us PC users that paid a far, far higher price for the game(s)!!
That’s not at All the case. In a recent conversation, Rovio said they may add them in a future update. It’s not ignoring, it was just the original dev.
I just got 66,980 on Golden Egg #8. Either I’m reading the golden eggs leaderboard wrong, or I’m the only one who’s managed to get rid of the whole pot of gold coins!
Just sat and watched 30,000 worth of coins disintigrate before I started firing the first bird to kill king pig.
:-))) easiest points ever!!
The Golden Eggs leaderboard for Seasons is not public at this time, so I think you are reading the wrong board.
Same here. I got 67,280 by just waiting for the gold coins to completely self-destruct, then one bird to take out the pig.
Pretty cool, an extra 31k points just for waiting about 2 minutes for all the coins to pop! Then 1-birding the pig to finish the level. All told, I netted an extra 9k points. Just goes to show that I should have read this page a lot sooner!
Oops!
I knew I couldn’t have the high score by THAT much. I’ll fix up my stats
:-)
Pot of gold I did in 1 shot waited for all the coins to disappear then nailed king pig with red bird. Around 59000
How are people getting around 70k on the Pot O’ Gold? I can only get 67k with the pot on the left worth 3000 points. How do you get that and the pig in 1 shot?
I don’t think 70k is possible and I don’t think you can ever get the pot on the left and still 1 bird the level.
Very much not possible. I’ll remove that score and check the rest of them.
Got three stars on all levels but the pot could not lit up. I already got golden egg No. 7. Any suggestion to unlock the pot (No. 8).
We have had several reports of similar issues and have forwarded it to Rovio. If you are on iOS, try updating to v2.5.1.
On 2.5.1 but the pot did not unlock. Checked to make sure I had 3 stars on all levels.
Rovio is aware of the issue and investigating.
so it’s oct 9, ’12 & i still can’t access this level..
i’ve 3-starred all the levels, including the FB ones, but when i tap the pot o’ gold, nothing happens..
is this still a problem for other folk?
Yes, right above you…
Rovio is supposed to be looking into the problem but its been over a year now since they have been put on notice of the issue with the last stage. Maybe they gave up?
They fixed the issue long ago. It re-manifested itself only recently.
Ohhhhhhhh I see. Thx for the update – again :)
@amslimfordy I’ve tried to post my score of 68570 to the leader boards two different times, but both times it has been deleted a few days later. Why is this? Do I need to send you proof?
There is not much room for damage on this level. I don’t believe higher scores are possible than what’s already listed.
I just uploaded a screenshot to my album. http://angrybir.de/12tXzpJ
I think I got the highest score because I didn’t wait for the coins to pop by themselves. You get additional points if you hit the coins with the bird. If you still don’t believe me after seeing my screenshot, try this to test my score – using as many birds as needed, take out everything in the pot while letting as few coins as possible pop by themselves. Then, add 10K to your score for each bird used over 1. For example, I used two birds and got a score of 58,630. If I add 10K to this for the 1 extra bird used, my score would be 68,630, which is 60 points higher than my score with one bird. So I think it is possible to even get slightly higher than my score.
I waited until the score hit 20k, then sent red bird down, and rode the inside rim of the horseshoe, taking out the pig, beard and hat!! 67k
I just 3 starred all levels of gggl and I for got my score! :( but I will check tomorrow for my score.
That pig is pretty tough so you need a good hit to take him out with one bird. Not much in the way of a strategy, just wait and aim well. Sending Red to the inside right of the pot of gold seems to work well if you can minimize the roll and hit the pig with good momentum.
