Our strategy for Ragnahog level 3 is shown in the video below. We used all four birds to get 3 stars.
First toss Red to the upper left corner of the nearest structure, dropping it in the drink and damaging the ship below. Next send Matilda on a high lob, narrowly missing the floating island, bombing the ship and bouncing her carcass into the remaining debris. Stella’s job is to remove as much from that first structure as possible, then send our beloved OB to the right, demolishing the upper structure and tossing debris in all directions. When the dust settled, we had a whopping 149130.
126,570 is 2*
127,130 is 3*
@admins
@steely59 thanks
I got 125060 and its 3 stars
@admins
I got 140k with two birds. Thought it was good, till I looked at the leaderboards ;-)
Now trying the video strat
@trishohara I also used 2 birds and I’m sure big scores will come from it.
I’m with you @trishohara and @pauliboy. Before coming here, I was sure the two bird strat was the ticket to high scores, and it may be. Can I just whine about this one more time? I hate when a last moment egg drop is required and Mathilda doesn’t, even though you know she hadn’t hit anything!
She doesn’t have to hit anything to fail to drop. There’s a small buffer around her, if she is within that buffer distance from anything she won’t drop the egg.
@philsey, is that buffer by design, meaning, did Rovio plan that. Or are you just describing what is?
I’m just describing it. You always have to time your shots so that she isn’t too close to anything. She seems to be more sensitive on AB Seasons than on some other levels. I have no clue if it’s by design.
Ok. Sounds about right. Thanks
154k with 3 birds.
First shot a tiny bit lower than in the walkthrough. This usually leaves the big pig alive which is fine. I had the ship collapse here.
Second shot towards the upper right. Drop the egg on the upper runestone. Ironically, the stove didn’t explode this time, but most of the structure went over the edge anyway.
Third bird towards the upper left, same as in walkthrough to finish off the last pig (which netted 12k damage points, so it may be worth it to throw her even without survivors, depending on what’s left).
If the stove had exploded it would have yielded another 6-7k, but then debris would have been blown off-screen and the ship would have taken less damage. Maybe something worth testing but for now I’m happy with my score.
Great Score @angrychicken !! Congrats
so if the pig on the upper left wasn’t there would you have had 10k more! or would you have flung Stella anyway.?
I just almost put this all together but of course , my boat didn’t freak completely apart!
Red into left structure , hitting the top just at the min of the Cross Beam and the hanging shingle? Everything went down , even the pig.
Matilda as @angrychicken describes And blew the stove!!
Should have been done , but it half of my ship was still afloat , I waited a while to see if it would eventually sink but nope…
ah well.. Just keep flingin’, just keep flingin’..
Thanks @coffeeking That is how I’ve been flinging ,i tried going under the ship v with red, and also with Matilda but this method with red at the left and Matilda at the right seems the best way, i can only blow the stove maybe 1\5 flings..
I know for my score it was a two birder. Send little red like video which took out the pig in that structure, the one hanging and then sunk the ship below. I sent Matilda over to the far right structure and dropped the egg to blow the stove up. This was only achievable a couple times. It’s one of those that everything must go your way. You need to accomplish all of what I described with the first bird though otherwise I just restarted.
@kathy I Imagine I would have chickened out and kept her on the sling. My suggestion is to only fling her if you are under your personal high.
Yes @angrychicken I think that’s the best advice ;)
Ok now is time for a Wwwwwwihhhhhiiiiinnneee! !
Very random scoring here, same shot, same damage, less points!#
Same shots as in video…a bit more damage. 148k
Can’t load seasons after I updated the iPad to iOS 10.1.1
Any thoughts? Thank you in advance.
Just a hint if you’re following the walkthrough video, try and wait until the last second to drop the egg from Matilda on the ship. She’ll fly into the sail to the other side of the ship for a few extra points I believe.
Managed it with 3 birds
First bird on the hanging wood straight ahead. This killed all pigs and fell onto the boat which sunk it. Egg on to the remaining runes/stones on the first platform which then made the white bird fly into the tall top right structure
Then pink bird into the remaining top right to blow the stove
Not surprised not being the only one to discover this. However it worked even better for me for the current top score of 159k. Too bad someone will make 160k+ before too long…
Anyway my first shot really killed that viking ship good. After which I sent Matilda in a high lob on the remaining runestones and from there at the roof of 2nd house to give Stella a roofless house to lift and drop on the stove.
Congrats @Micromax !! i haven’t actually tried that second shot with Matilda , I’ve been sending her directly to the upper n right as angrychicken says.. I’ve tried so many ways but still have not made 140k :(
@micromax any chance of a screenshot on that second shot¿ I miss your videos honestly, but understand why you can’t make them anymore, shame they were very helpful as were Estars..
Hi @Kathy,
I´ll do better than that though it did take some time. Because Seasons has gotten fatter than Tony lately I can only get a few minutes at best recorded on my skinny tab with the otherwise excellent AZ Screen Recorder.
The score on the vid is way lower but strat is actually more complete since I mostly had to use the fourth bird as well:
https://youtu.be/ZAnMYGqEPyQ
Thanks @micromax ? your the best! I’ll give it some more flings now, i had pretty much given up:/
Wooot @micromax Thank you!! i got a decent score finally after a few rewiews of your video and of course the 3 P’s nice to have a level that’s not soley dependent on luck!! ?
I got my 156140 having to use all four. The ship didn’t break apart from the first bird so had to throw the last one in the ship but trying it your way compared to the way I was doing it added 6k to my score.
@micromax Ditto to the thanks from @kathy ! Made it in three birds thanks to a lucky clear of the ship with bird one and using your (and @fatboyslick ‘s) excellent shot two which then gave Stella a clear shot at the stove.
Whoa @catsnbirds Great Score!! congrats! !
161170 with 3 birds using @micromax strategy ;-)
Nothing different.
A small detail though: if you can make Matilda to fall down on the top rune stone, Stella will go through it and will be able to lift the stove.
Here is the trajectory for Matilda.
And this is the final result, and the highscore screenshot.
@sweetp ?
@fatboyslick no Christmas carols this year¿
Nice to see you join us once again for the Holiday??
WTG @lesleyg! What an awesome score on this tricky level. Congrats too @asher. I’m not sure, but I seem to think that these “advent calendar” challenges don’t qualify for puppies. I could be wrong, but as far as I remember from last year, they are just meant as “fun competition” because they are all newly released daily levels. No doubt @sweetp will clarify. The way I’m flinging at the moment, I won’t qualify anyway lol – or should that be HoHoHo!?
@peejaydee27, @asher that’s right the puppies take a well-earned holiday during the Advent Challenge. I think they’ve earned some down time! :D
But still it would be great, if @lesleyg would tell us how she got this awesome score!
Of course I will @trishohara and thank you @peejaydee27 ;-)
I was already planning to post here as I always do when I get a high score and definitely a Top Score, Yippee! I got it late last night and by time I realized it was the current Top Score, it was this morning and my hubby was already giving me the “glare” to get off the game and come outside to help finish decorating the front yard with our yearly Christmas deco’s…Especially since I’m the one that insisted they needed to be finished today ;-) Yeah, we tend to go a little Chevy Chase if ya know what I mean, HaHaHa :D
Anyway, onto the strat I used; It seems to already be posted first by @fatboyslick along with the video added by @micromax and confirmed by @asher.
To add a few details, I sent Red head-on to the tip of the plank…the direct hit seemed to more consistently allow for most of the wood and pigs on the front structure to be gone as well as most of the ship below. On my high score, the the ship was very much destroyed and I remember there was no wood at all remaining on the left front structure…I remember debating whether or not to send Matilda to bomb it anyway cause there wasn’t much left except the “rune” stones but I did anyway. So…
Matilda in a high arch, lining her up so that her body covers half the sling’s post (just as seen in micromax’s video) and bombed the right side of the left structure while her body flies up to hit the top of the right structure.
Third and final shot was Stella to the top right structure having her land right on top of the upright rune stone and tapping her as soon as she made contact. She picked up both stones and blew the tnt. Here is my final trajectory shot with her, the score and the remaining debris:

Good luck to all! So far these levels seem to require that all shots must come together and work out just as you want them to for the high scores :D
@lesleyg and @Kathy (Now I will be moderated) when you use multiple mentions in a post, it has to be “moderated” and approved by an admin – it is a feature of the website to prevent spamming.
Thanks @knichy, i actually knew that, but i think it depends on how many because sometimes i do it and my post comes right up actually i can not recall if Any of my posts have benn moderated in a lonnnngg loooonng time :/
I also would like to thank all those who AA mentioned in her post and would like to especially thank @lesleyg for the detailed post and explanation. Was able to obtain an above average score. First time playing these levels.
agreed @trishohara it’s unusual though for @lesleyg to not share her strategy ,?? Congratulations on the great score AA care to share your usual incredible tips?
Lol@ Kathy ;D You’re so cute, tee hee ;) Thanks for knowing that! I did in fact leave my usual tips and screenshot for the trajectory, etc…but it seems my comment was also the “usual”…too lengthy for it’s own good, hahahah! It’s been “awaiting moderation” for quite some time now, tee hee…but long story short, it was a three birdie like fatboyslick first wrote about. “Original” post to follow soon, I hope :-8
@kathy that is!!!
Thanks @lesleyg I do know you very well, I know you wouldn’t get such a great score without leaving breadcrumbs.. no reason why you should be under moderation though¿ you’ve been a long upstanding member of the Nest for long enough !!
anyway Congrats again on the great score:)?
Thanks for the confirmation @karen68 :))
It seems that the key to any score is getting that hanging pig to drop with the first bird.
158k/4. Another RNG but a nice level.
Yeah, I don’t see myself improving on this one. I’m running out of opportunities to get myself a HollyDog…
Know the feeling. Only Hollydog score this year was 5 hours too late.
Haven’t even come close…
