Our strategy for Ragnahog level 17 is shown in the video below. I call this one, “Hairy Huts”.
We start off with Stella in a very high arc, coming down into the center of the first hut, nestling in, and pretty much blowing off the roof. Little Red goes across the way into the pig on a platform in the third structure, as the structure collapses the TNT blows and sends little hairy-hut roof pieces everywhere. The stove on the left and two little piggies in the middle remain, so we send Terrance through the stove and into the structure beyond. With a 10K bonus for Chuck, and then some extra points racking up, the video shows a final score of 170590.
– Stella to the third tower. Between the spear pig and the horn. Lifting up the wall and roof, while the tnt explodes, bringing down the fourth tower (sometimes completly).
– little red to the first tower, wehre the flag hangs
– and the big boy through the wood piece on first tower (less resistant). Sometimes he goes through to the second tower with more force (sweet spot?)
Different scores. So far for 171k.
There seems to be a slight chance of self destruction of the first tower. It would be nice, if the first hut slides down the hill, with the stove exploding near the second tower. So, a 1-birder is possible in mind.
@liontooth – great strat! Got total destruction using it – practically nothing left.
Thanks @liontooth worked a treat
I think my iPad is jinxed or such ;-) I play @liontooth strat since days (opened all levels, yeah I’m bad ;-) ), but never got the three birder. Best score so far with 4 168k.
177k/3 with that. for the 1st: i activate it a bit after bouncing back from the wall. 3rd should not be too low since then, after bouncing, it ends up too high onto the lower structure; ideally the 3rd pushes everything off the lower platform, but that didn’t happen for this 177k score: everything had slidden down, but there was still 5k+ worth of debris left on the lower platform, so 180k-185k/3 possible i think.
once got close to a 1-birder as described; had a 135k score after the 1st with only the left part of the lower structure still standing (the stove exploded after the right side of the first structure collapsed after its roof had become `active’ by debris falling on top of it), and i think the best scores will be obtained that way.
171k using your strat!!
I’ve been using this method on my own before coming to the nest, but my score isn’t up to the 170K level yet. I haven’t been able to get Terrance to slide that lowest structure enough to kill the pigs at the bottom. This seems to be a better method than the video, so I’ll keep on trying.
Yes, @lowenzahn there is a sweet spot where Terrance catches the right corner of the stove and is propelled into the side of the concrete blocks at the base of the second tower. Almost perfectly flat
@knichy lowenzahn = @liontooth Thanks for the great strat!
@vuelva thank you for the added tips :)
It took a few tries, but it worked. 167,440.
My heart sank when I saw those hut rooves as they always give me major problems but got over 165000 on first attempt so perhaps it’s easier than it first appears or was it just the Christmas fairy paying me a visit!
Like walkthrough except for Stella. She went straight at 1st hut for much more collateral damage and leaving nothing much but the stove behind. That enabled Terence to get a real kick out of that aft burner to be able to obliterate the runestones resulting in current top score of 179k.
Now where´s that polish while I have the trophy ;-?
Also like the video but a straight shot with Stella. Shone it up nice, @micromax and one of will be by shortly to pick it up-thanks!
Good job @micromax I was using the same strategy earlier where you can trigger the stove and send roof thatches flying right and causing loads of damage. Possible 1-birder with mega chain reaction?
Hi @andy-2, I don´t expect single birder here. The 2nd hut with concrete slabs on runestones should prove much too tough for anything other than Terence.
I’ve been this close so far @micromax
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/andy-2/album/picture/21664/
That is close, what did you drop on that 2nd hut?
1st and 3rd huts collapsed towards it pushing if off its foundation! It’s going to be about who has more game time to get that lucky fling as usual!
I see. Should someone post a 190k score, I guess, we´ll know what happened.
And there goes my trophy ? didn´t even have time to find that polish…
I agree @Micromax. A 190k or better score is coming. I shot Stella at the roofline of the first hut as well. Second to middle of third tower and finished up with slamming the tnt. Someone is going to get a one-birder here and make us all look bad. Btw, what’s up with the self collapse on the first tower? I never saw it.
Congratulations @Rat9 !! Pa nice to see you , great score!!? you might want to polish it up, sorry @micromax i tried to find the polish for you but i forget who had it last, it’s passed around so quikly!! ty for the alternate strat:)
I’m not going to polish this trophy @Ma. I’m surprised I still have it an hour later. ha ha
@Rat: wise move ;->
Now, I have a (temporary) un-polished trophy.
Anyway, I will refrain from posting the screenshots until later. Maybe the Sheriff will get fooled…
BTW, Stella to the third tower, through the horn, activated while falling down. Then Red and Terence as described by @liontooth.
Curious George here @asher. Do you fling on a computer?
Yes @rat9 , @asher uses pc with Bluestacks
@rat9 you have missed the comment about the 24″ screen? How could you ;-) ;-)
We with our little phone or tablet screens and thick thumbs… well… Happy flinging anyway!
@trishohara: how can you mock a civilized device?
And I didn’t mentioned the comfortable armchair, the nicely sized speakers (for music, not AB sounds), the G602 mouse for unparalleled precision (my fingers are no match for it)… ;-)
Twenty-four inches? You da man @asher!
@asher I appreciate your sharing of strats and screenshots with us in the Nest. Don’t think you sound smug, just humorous about the different devices people use to compete. I’m on an iPad, can’t imagine how people play on phones!
@catsnbirds: thanks for your vote of confidence;-)
I tried but sometimes it misfires, and then you are stuck with @rat9 and nobody wants that :->
Hey!! Play nice now @asher. lol
@asher, screenshots? Where at?
@sweetp: I am sorry but my score has been reduced to splinters by @trishohara so I didn’t kept them.
@asher so pretty much as @liontooth just a bit higher with Stella¿
@gumby <—- hiding the polish
We are all inferior compared, without the same game time and luck that comes with it, we will all be trailing behind.
@asher you don’t have to be so smug about it, we all realize that your only advantage is a 24″ screen with high resolution, now if you could acheive these scores on a 3″ phone or a 7″ tablet we would have to consider you in the class of @moonsabre and @enror and other Great great Flingers from the AB Hall of Fame, but your not of their caliber your just a guy with a big screen who needs to be #1
should be @ernor63
@kathy: ouch!
I was not trying to be smug, sorry if it sounded like that :-/
BTW, I am just another player that happens to play a lot (and I mean a lot) and that often leads to nice scores. Being #1 is not a goal, but I will not make any excuse when it happens, and I will certainly not play on smaller screen or with my fingers. That would take the fun out of it (for me).
Again, sorry about the misunderstanding.
sorry @Asher but yes it did sound smug..
my apologies also for misunderstanding..
that said we are all just here to have fun ?? so let’s continue ,:)
@kathy I am more than happy to be up there competing in the top ten on an inferior iPhone screen with limited game time compared to others. I get more pleasure sharing alternative strategies now as resigned to the fact that any high scores will be hunted down overtime eventually! Sad but true unfortunately!
I have to agree here with @kathy, @asher. Sounds indeed like smug and somehow also like a huge advantage against small screen finger players.
Having fun? Sure, we all have fun, else we would not be here.
I know people who have a lot of fun using Power Ups. But their scores are not allowed here…
But I guess as long as the @admins agree with using such equipment for precision flinging etc, it’s all fine. So, have fun! Happy Holiday, happy flinging.
Ouch Indeed @Asher ! Again my apologies for this comment and my sincere thanks for all the help, strats and screenshots you’ve provided since.
@micromax thanks for posting. This is the same strategy I used. Got lucky with little red and the explosions. Had to use all the birds to kill the last lower bird to obtain this score.
Haven’t capitalized on this yet but if you send Stella just below horizontal into the horn you can lift the entire side and roof, collapse the right side and leave only the stove. Also causes some collateral to the second hut clearing for a great third shot. I just haven’t gotten a lucky second yet.
@knichy I most time explode the stove by doing this. And realised that makes aiming Ternece even more difficult.
@trishohara I hardly ever explode the stove. Try stellar to the third, I’ve had pretty good luck with that. Really all three main stratz have yielded 175+ for me, so close together.
@asher my son’s is getting g an asus rog with 24″ monitor for Xmas, I may have to put some ABS on it and see if I can compete! But usually my time is taken up with real life, flinging is a pop-up thing Enabled by using a phone
But write-ups, strictly keyboard 8*)
My strategy is to send Stella to the third hut where it lifts the roof and the TNT, causing debris from the explosion to hit the fourth hut and send most of its sliding down, picking up more debris from hut three and hurdling into hut two. Little red is next to the roof of hut one, basically weakening it enough for the Big Boy to take out the stove and whatever remains in its path. Should have over 100K after the first shot. My previous high was 181K, 183,460 is my top score so far.
Why aren’t you on the leaderboard? Or did you post without logging in?
Well, no idea how it happened, but my score shows 183260 on my iPad mini, with my thick thumbs.
I sent Stella straight into the first hut, she lifted it, the stove exploded. Debris flew over the screen. And hit! First the far right house slided down, then the third one. And even the second one got demolished.
Red demolished the second one a bit more, and then it was really easy for Terence to clean up.
173 + Chuck = 183260.
Hello little trophy, let me polish you. :-)
Nice shootin’ Tex!
@truthiness Woot congrats in this trophy!!
Sorry I lost my emoticon somehow I messed up my keyboard:(
@trishohara Woot congrats in this trophy!!
Sorry I lost my emoticon somehow I messed up my keyboard:(oh boy really messed up
@bernersenn calls these funky houses Hairy Huts but I like Trump Toupee Teepee Towers a bit better. Plus they’re orange. Sad! Aloha.
For your consideration, I present Exhibit A:
The Trump Mullet: https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/surfcow/album/picture/21692/
I rest my case. Aloha.
@surfcow lol.
One more not fake photo, just for you @bernersenn, because I know more about Photoshop than even Adobe. Believe me, I’m really great at Photoshopping. The best. Ever. Aloha.
Make Angry Birds Angry Again https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/surfcow/album/picture/21694/
@surfcow good to know, perhaps we will ask you to create or modify some pictures for me/us.
We in Europe are really curious about what this guy is intending
@surfcow Nice picture. But what do you mean by photoshopping? I just see a realistic representation ;-)
@bernersenn Not as curious as we in the USA are!
@catsnbirds that I can imagine.
My 2 cents on this conversation
He’s going to try his best to make and keep this world Safe again! Joke if you will actually pretty funny photo @surfcow heehee! But I for one believe he will :D
Oh and @surfcow the commentary above the video can be attributed to @knichy ;)
Nice @surfcow – I as well am fairly proficient with the Photoshop, it’s the only way I can get a decent family picture with all three kids smiling 8*) Can’t say I’m real happy about the whole subscription thing, though. I don’t really give a crap about the “cloud”
By the way – thank YOU for your inspiration, since joining the nest 2 years ago, the hilarious comments you have provided, along with many of the other “legacy flingers” have kept me well entertained and engaged.
Hey there @happy66 Congrats on the trophy! Thanks for accepting my friend request😎 I know most of this episode is based on luck, but figured I’d ask anyway if you found some Secret to achieve an extra few points?
I’m loving @knichy write ups, this one makes me think of a horror movie Lol
‘Hairy Huts’ are there extra points hiding in those huts or just Hairy Horrors?🐛
Hello @Kathy ! Well, i’ve played that episode/level a long time ago and i have absolutely no idea how i’ve reached that score. I can tell (i swear) i haven’t used any Power Up, always has been my personal rule as same AB one, so i guess i am part of the lucky flingers…
I went back today to that Episode 1-17 to played it again (without reading any comments at first) to see if something was coming back to my memory, and the only thing i can tell is i sent Stella directly on third hut, TNT fell/blowed up on the right, third and fourth huts were mainly cleaned, as well as a little part of the second hut because of the “Hairy things” flying in the air, LOL ! Then red bird on a high arc to destroy more of the second hut, then Terence to the first and remaining debris. My score there was… hum…. only 175K. So maybe i finally followed the walkthrough two years ago, as some others ?? Sorry i can’t help you more !!
And i have to say i don’t play so much AB anymore, because no updates in France since two years, guess every efforts are concentrated on AB 2, which i do not like very much… :-(
Hi @Happy66 Noo I know you’ve been around long enough to know power up scores aren’t allowed and I wasn’t even thinking you use them! I realize it’s been a long time since this episode, so I really appreciate your reply and re-flinging! mostly that is what i was trying to figure out to fling at the 3rd hut first,, And thanks for that suggestion on Flinging lil’ red high up to that second hut, that is my biggest obstacle ‘what to do with that bird¿’ I’ll try that 😎
yep We are all very disappointed with Rovio not giving us any more episodes! see the comments on level 25 from me and @ixan57 about this being the last episode and the pigs waving goodbye! hint from Rovio we figured!
Again Congrats on the Trophy and thanks so much for your reply and help 🐣
p.s do you know @Annie-Leigh (Tompuss) she is in France also, and is @Sglouk !🐣
Also ic never tried AB2 , Just been flinging Seasons to improve on my rank, started from the beginning and made it this far, long time, a couple years i think 😂
but I’m not addicted 😉🐣
Me too @kathy, i have played again some of the episodes of AB and AB seasons (even the Star Wars one, by time to time!), by nostalgia ! But i am (was) not addicted at all… 😜 Now, i read books again in my morning subway or at evening, LOL !
No, i don’t know Tompuss or Sglouk, i have maybe seen them in some comments, but i remembrer mostly the “famous” flingers, always very active and helpful on the walkthroughs — like you 😉, @knichy, @angrychicken, @surfcow, @bernersenn… and a few others who are right now out of my head (shame on me…) since i come less on ABNest.
I used to be often ready to post comments, but most of the time, an other flinger has found and posted already my solution ! There is only one level (don’t remember which one) where i have been really helpful for others, and i was very “proud” ;-).
Well, see you maybe on another episode @kathy, take care !
@Happy66 I used to Read a lot until I found these birds!
Lol Good to hear I’m not the only “non-addict) 😜 in the Nest heehee🐣
I mentioned the part where the pigs were waving goodbye, but it wasn’t level 25 it was the GE level Thor’s Mighty Hammer!
And I remember you as being helpful and contributing posts, so put yourself up in that list 😉
see you around the Nest 🐣
Thanks for the tips!! I made top 100!! good enough for now!
Congrats @kathy, well done !
And in fact, i am a woman ;-)
Thanks @Happy66! and my please accept my apology, I should have not assumed!
Oh, don’t worry at all, just made me smile ;-)
@kathy
Oh, don’t worry at all ! You only made me smile ;-)
@Happy66 🤗
@happy66
I think that your scores are ok. @kathy
@benersenn I see no problem with Happy66 scores, I was just congrats to him on the Trophy and asked him for some help, and he helped I gained a few points!
@bernersenn
@kathy good to hear

Using this method, thanks (again) for the video @comex666
Link to high score proof
https://angrybir.de/348IaD4
Followed @comex666‘s excellent video(thanks BTW)
Not sure if it will remain top score, but I think I just got a puppy. As my first one was a Holly dog can I get a regular underdog badge for this one @sweetp? Pretty please xxx.
I promise not to feed it chilli.
@briann no puppies are awarded during the advent. Once you have a Hollydog you can not get another one. Great score btw. Congrats
Good stuff. Well done
Thanks guys,it was worth a try.I’m fairly new to this Challenge malarkey.
Still don’t think the score will hold out @asher has been suspiciously quiet.Had to laugh at the comments on this page,reckon by now he’s set up a laboratory working on a new strat that breaks 200k as we speak.
