This is our walkthrough video strategy for obtaining 3 stars on Angry Birds Seasons On Finn Ice level 1-3, which was unlocked on Wednesday, December 3rd, 2014. The score in the video below is 97,980.
- Bonus! Our On Finn Ice level 1-3 Mighty Eagle walkthrough is live as well!
86,970 brings three stars.
There are at least 30,000 points to collect in the upper right corner (I tested this with an electric bomb bird). Has anybody any idea how to get to those without any powerup?
One birder is possible, high arc and thump blue terence right in the middle of the platform, stones falling to both sides destroy everything. This though brings just arount 75-77 k, which is not enough for three stars.
Never mind, got it. At least a part of it. As in the picture ( https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/vic-the-hun/album/picture/11940/ )hit the inner-lower stone of the right pyramid. the two remaining little stones will fly right and get at least two packages, 3,000 points each, plus they will push a piece of dunnowhat to fall down and get the third package down below.
95+ with this method, all three birds used, all but one package gotten. (The one in the sleigh seems impossible to reach, at least in my humble experience.) Some room for improvement must be there though.
I got a one-birder with this method for 94,320.
After hundreds of tries, got my ideal shot for a score of 71K. Didn’t do that well with the next two shots and ended with 95K. Definitely more is possible with better followup.
I would guess that we’re going to see a lot more instances of points located in places that are unreachable without power ups. at least that’s my theory, just another way for Rovio to try to get us to spend money. I dont have a problem with that as long as poweruos arent mandatory to finish a level. The alternative, of course, is that it’s just crappy coding caused by personnel reductions.
Couldn’t get your trajectory to work, @vic-the-hun but using @dmsral method to push the stones to the right has gotten me two of them consistently. Plus if grey bird falls below onto the right hand structure, it gets extra points. The ideal shot would be all rocks removed, 3 gift bonuses, grey bird to drop down and an icicle to fall. I have made all the individual parts happen and usually two, but getting all four is probably out of reach.

What???? This is the absolutely least intuitive and contrived episode I have ever encountered. I hope there are not more like it in this series. For goodness sake, we all know that luttle red bird is useless, big red bird is an absolute waste of space, and big ice bird even worse! Now he is performing miracles? Beyond belief!
105610 with 2 birds. First shot straight at the stones up top, do not activate. Goal is to push them to the right to get both packages and have the bird roll through and drop down to do more damage on the bottom. The stack of stones in the middle also slid left and took out the two pigs to the left. (There seems to be ghosts on this level that move and pop things on this level so don’t rush to take your second shot.) Second to straight (again, no activate) to push the stone on the plateau to right and also have bird roll through for more damage on the far right structure.
The “ghosts” are the icicles that ideally should fall and then slide around and cause all sorts of yummy damage. 98k with the same method, but I didn’t get all presents.
Thanks @f91jsw, I’m playing totally zoomed out and I couldn’t see the icicles. That and I need to clean my screen. :-)
2birds. First up high, make sure it hits the bottom-left stone on the right hand pile. This will push down the two icicles hanging below the ledge and push stones to the right hitting parcels, sending them down (lots of points there). The lower left side should be clear and one icicle should rest on the middle ledge. Send second bird so it slides on the middle ledge pushing the stones and resting icicle forward to the right hand tower which will break it down and releasing the parcels!! 110980

thx @jomasa…
as you described!
@jomasa great strat. Congrats to your score. Question: did you use Tonys force ?
Kudos big time to @jomasa! I was stuck in the mid 90s until I tried your strat. Brilliant. Thank you very much.
@bernersenn – hope jomasa doesn’t mind me replying your question as it’s his method. But I tried his strat without using Tony’s force, and could never get the big icicle to drop, which seems crucial for the higher scores. Using the force I increased my score by almost 10K after just a few attempts. :))
@peejaydee27 thanks I will give it a try – this evening
Yes I did, otherwise you won’t get enough force to shake the icicles loose:)
Thanks Jomasa used your strategy for the highest score so far 113,500 Im sure it wont last for long Cheers
@jomasa great strat! i added 10k to my score. Thanks
Thank you all! Glad I could help. Writing this on an iPhone and it’s hopeless to find the correct letter with my big fingers. LOL
I used the strategy of @jomasa. Took me a little while to figure out that I could aim through the tree. 115,290
Do I need to post screenshot. I’m new to this kind of challenge so I am unsure what the proper etiquette is.
Don’t get it….I’m left with a pig on the left
Ty for the strat @jomasa, the only alteration I made was to come in just over the LHS blocks rather than a high arc, the rest is as you describe. @fatboyslick, sometimes the LHS blocks fall off the edge and take out the pig on the left, this is when you are allowed to say yeeees lol. @wicket182, congrats on a great score and your new puppy. You can post a link to a screenshot of your score on here with the word @mumsie somewhere in the sentence and that will forward your screenshot to hardworking admin.
@wicket182, @windwalker, the past couple of years the Underdog badge has been temporarily suspended during the Seasons Advent Challenge because the levels are brand new.
Have to ask @admins if it’s the same this year?
@karen68, thanks for your reply, had forgotten that the pups also have a holiday which they richly deserve
Yes, you’re right @karen68. We don’t award any puppies during the Advent Calendar challenges.
Have fun flinging in Finn!
Ho @lesleyg, sorry I didn’t reply to your question, only just noticed I had a mention, as far as I remember it was a case of the LHS bird rolling and knocking the blocks down. I found the lower I came in over the top the better hitting where the ‘bobble’ was on the Santa hat. Again apologise on the late reply
I here ya @fatboyslick !!! I can never get the top left cement squares to go left while still managing the ice cycles to drop too! UGH! Can anyone @wicket82, @windwalker, or @jomasa clarify if the top stones need to drop left or can the middle cement blocks do the trick when the bigger ice cycle drops down and pushes them left? WHINE!!!!
@lesleyg can I join you in the Whine?? I came back to this one to try & improve & I’m still having no luck with that 1st shot. I’ve never got it to work, not even once. Whenever I get both icicles to drop, the blocks on the left just won’t budge.
I think they have to drop, sometimes the blocks from the middle will get both pigs on the left but you need the blocks for the extra destruction.
I’m just happy to be above average on this one :)
@karen68 – By all means jump on board the “Whine Wagon”…Misery loves company, lol ;-) Thanks for your feedback too. I too haven’t gotten it to happen. I got my current score using @dmsral first shot. I can’t even recall what I did with the second bird?
Hi there @lesleyg! Make sure you send Tony up high and activate him just when he is over the left bottom stone on the right hand pile. Yes stones will flow both left and right! The ideal is to get stones flowing left, taking out the left pig down below, stones flying right to take out present and dropping parcel down to the bottom right hand tower, and most important getting both icicles to fall!
*climb into the Whine Wagon settling in between @lesleyg and @karen68 , keeping sure to rub shoulders close for the luck to turn towards her, and whhiines*
Seriously though @lesleyg i have the first shot down as described by @jomasa but is the second shot i don’t know what to do? I always have piggie left on the bottom and always need 2 birds to finish frying their bacon butts!
@kathy welcome to the whine party! :)
If the 1st shot doesn’t move the stones on the left up top you’re usually left with at least 1 pig on the bottom left. I throw the 2nd Tony straight into the lower left to plow through everything.
For the 3rd hopefully the large icicle is lying on the platform in the middle in front of the pile of stones. Fling the 3rd Tony at the stones so they push the icicle into the bottom right for extra destruction & to get any pigs left.
Getting above average with all 3 birds is hard, I managed 106k which I really hope will stay above average for a while.
The averages are overall pretty high in all the levels, that’s what happens with the Advent Challenge – sending some major L-factor your way! :D
Thanks for the details @karen68 :) i defintley need that ‘L’ factor I’m having a tough time with this episode guess I’ve been too long in space ! I’ll keep at it although I’m gonna come back i want to catch up to the current and share in the daily fun of the spirit :)
Thank you @jomasa for posting your strategy. Worked just as you described. For me if the icicles do not fall, I reset the level. Otherwise it was a fun level to play.
Good to hear:)
Good aiming point up top, if you want to use Tony as intended: the pig’s white beard.
Does anyone else using iOS think this level takes an unusually long time to load after a reset?
@graypets : You beat me too it! I was thinking of posting the same observation. Not a big deal, but quite noticeable compared to other levels.
Same on Android. I tried rebooting, and it helped for a little while, but then the reset got slower and slower again.
Correct guys, after a fresh reboot it’s pretty quick – and then after three or four retries it takes always longer. I’m playing on an Ipad 3 – IOS 8.1
No need to reboot your device. I found all you need to do is to hard close the app. After you open it fresh, the level loads faster for a while, then the problem is back and you need to close it again. Moreover, I discovered that closing the app also helps to play. @jomasa‘s strategy works better after closing the app. I wasn’t able to use it (the icicle wouldn’t fall) until I hard closed the app, after that I got 108k right away!
The reload is painfully slow
Speed is determined by connectivity as these levels are on a date timer
you probably can’t play them offline
OK, yes, worthwhile replaying for those into high scores…but otherwise just ridiculously easy to three-star, even on the very first fling. I hope Rovio kicks it up a notch soon. Where are the challenging Yuletide levels of yesteryear?
any chance we can get a video of @jomasa walkthrough? I am stuck at 98K and I cannot seem to get any higher.
The stones just are not falling.. or I am doing it wrong.
@bowserm, it may be my imagination, but after a reset of the game (closing the app) the blocks seemed to respond better.
Agreed. After posting my comment, I closed out, went back in, and I improved my score by 6K within 5 minutes.
@olddog — I didn’t believe you, but desperate enough to try it, and guess what? First try after hard close stones moved both directions for the first time ever!
Yay! I finally helped someone!
Hi there! Make sure you send Tony up high and activate him just so he hits the left stone at the bottom of the right hand pile of stones. This will in many cases let the two icicles below the ledge fall down, send stones to the left falling down taking out the pig on the left, and send stones to the right into the parcels there, hopefully letting them fall down on the right hand tower below. The clue is to get the large icicle slide a little bit to the left on the central ledge below so it makes some stones take out the remaining pig. Now bird two: send it straight into the remaining stones with the icicle in front into the right hand tower. This will break the tower and the parcels. Quite repetative actually! Sorry I can’t make any video. Good luck!
Here’s the video of @jomasa strategy (someone asked for it above): http://youtu.be/DCSsg8Ta0Uk. Note that the key to high scoring is that the big icicle needs to rest on the middle platform to the right of remaining stones — it’s this icicle that breaks apart the rightmost structure when it’s pushed by the second bird.
I like to throw the third bird to near left as it usually brings more than 10K. It didn’t work out in the video, but it did on my highscore of 113,530.
Thank you @fenikus!! Just as I described it. A pleasure to watch:)
@jomasa Thank you so much for sharing your strategy! I have been struggling to get nice scores for my videos on the episode on Finn Ice (hence me being 6 months late to the party ghi) and have been in need of guidance in many of the levels. This was one of them, I was using that technique but didn’t know it could result in that amount of points. So knowing that it could brought out the persistence and after many many many flings I finally got my 111,770, which I am happy with right now.
Here is my video.
@e-star. Glad I could help. Looking forward to see your video. Hopefully as superb as they usually are!
It simply doesn’t work! Not at any angle, not triggering at any pixel. Nothing. Nada. Max 84k.
113140/2
It seems you need to be very precise where you hit the first bird to get as many points up top as possible. After that it all comes down to luck. I’ve been trying this for hours, doing the same thing over an over for scores in the 90K to 105K range and then, beam, out of nowhere 113K.
I made a video to particularly show the aiming points for the first bird. It may help.
https://youtu.be/wkrZ0mxI1s8
I should’ve just looked at @e-star s video in the first place!! Sorry
@steviep147
It’s all good and I appreciate all of the information that I can get. :)
One thing I noticed is that my game seems to be timing out very, very quickly. I don’t have much of a chance to fling an additional bird.
Other players are mentioning 70k + after the first. I tend to agree but the rest of the scoring? it’s all just a bit iffy and is maybe a Rovioism 😂
Yeah, that sounds about right. I thought I might have had a shot at this challenge but it’s looking unlikely.
Same method as @jomasa. I think all that needs to be said about it has been said. As no puppies awarded will put a link to my score screenshot tomorrow if it remains top score @sweetp.
Wow! Look forward to seeing the pics. Well done for the Holly Dog.
I already have a Holly Dog @steviep147, don’t think they allow more than one. It’s just a screenshot of score, nothing exciting I’m afraid.
