Ragnahog level 8 looks to be a high scoring good time. The strategy shown in the video below nets us a sweet 223130 and three shiny stars.
With our first shot, we send Chuck in a shallow arc straight to the top teeth – Ouch! Both jaws fall and the big critter loses a leg. The next sortie for Chuck is slightly lower, breaking the wooden support. The Boomerang goes high over the top into the TNT in the tail, freeing a caged Terrence below. Finally throw the Bomber straight into the belly of the beast and feast your eyes on the points racking up as the rest collapses into a heap of rubble. Terrance once again remains on the bench but gets 10K in bonus points.
1st yellow bird to upper jaw, to take out teeth, and drop the jaw. 2nd yellow bird through the middle carcass. Green bird high arc to the right to TNT. Black bird to lower left leg. Big Red to sweep floor. 230k
179,960 two stars
181,040 three stars
180 anyone?
Yes @hunnybunny it is already reported by @steely59
Thanks anyway
Some slight instability at the start, but no evidence yet of any self-destruction.
I reverse second and third shots. 2nd yellow to TNTs. Destabilizes the right side. Reverse remi into carcass. This often pushes debris over right side and sometimes collapse right two legs. Bomb bird to lower left leg.
No strategy tips, just a rant
Excuse me but what the Fa-La-La-La-La is going on with this episode? Am I the only Nester to notice that some demented souls at Rovio have hijacked the annual WinterHolidayChristmasAdvent celebration that we wait patiently for each year? I’m all for creativity, especially after six years of excellent offerings. But Ragnarok, the Viking Armageddon, from Norse Mythology? Seriously? Maybe I’m not being patient enough and on day 25 Santa Pig will deliver presents to all the good little Viking pigs. And after they’re done chopping off the heads of some hounds guarding the entrance to hell, the pigs will use their battle axes to chop down a giant tree and then decorate it with… ummm, never mind. Perhaps this is Rovio’s clever way of revealing that this is also the end of days for AB Seasons? Let’s hope not. Aloha and Happy Holidays.
I was wondering what ragnahog meant. Interesting. They could have had an episode featuring the Finnish Christmas Goat……Hmmmmm let’s see
Chestnuts roasting on a sauna stove
The Christmas Goat nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Laplanders
Everybody knows a Lutefisk and some mistletoe…etc.
Hyvaa joulua
Ahhhhh @surfcow I have followed you through the years. Nice rant! All I can say is I think on Finn Ice might have been an advent stretch, a few Santa hats about, then ski or squeal .. a star or tree here or there.
They lost their Christmas spirit years ago.
Now it’s just up to us to just keep flinging, just keep flinging.
Aloha ohana!
Hi @surfcow It is always nice to read your comments. You didn’t change and that is good.
Indeed, no presents this year.
I can assure you that Rovio will continue Seasons, next to ABO. The other games don’t getting any updates anymore.
Keep those butts kicked, pal
Totally with you @surfcow. Pillaging Vikings not exactly my idea of the best way to get into the Xmas spirit!
Maybe Rovio has a commercial tie in to the new season?
Interestingly @surfcow, this episode was released on the day after the new season 4 of Vikings TV show on the History Channel was aired…
“The world of the Vikings is brought to life through the journey of Ragnar Lothbrok, the first Viking to emerge from Norse legend and onto the pages of history – a man on the edge of myth.” – IMDb
I guess Rovio couldn’t come up with a better episode name than to copy the TV series’ main character. Hmm…
Wow @bernersenn Did @Surfcow know something we didn’t last year? see his above post concerning ‘end of days’ i don’t know of the movie or tv show that he speaks but seems he called it correctly!
@andy-2 care to share? I am close but which strat did you use to rule the roost here?
4 birder
1. Chuck to take out crocs teeth and jaws
2. Then aimed Chuck 2 at the blue poker chip looking lifebuoy
3. Hal over to the TNT as this does more damage and can weaken the right side
4. Bomb aimed at where the hanging pumpkin was going through the end of the platform and explode between the left legs to bring the rest down.

Thanks @andy-2 !!
I played this level just the way you wrote it. There’s a screenshot in my album if anyone is interested.
{Admin Edit}
Used all 5 birds to get my score, with Terence taking out the two right towers.

Hey Admins, I know that this time of the year puppies are not awarded, but how about starting a new Advent ( or December) Award… like a Candy Cane? It would make a nice, seasonal award.
@admins – please fix this by adding to my comment above.
I forgot to add that I had to use all 5 birds. Big Red took out the two right towers. Thanks
No problem, @meanguy. Done!
Hmmm….you used all birds? That means a potential high score of well over 240k is possible then!
Nice thought @meanguy, but this is the only time of the year I get to take a much-needed break from the Challenge and the Badges and Rankings group.
My brain is already frazzled with everything related to the holidays, so my apologies for not agreeing. Gotta get back to my family now, so happy flinging!
Bittersweet moment yet again! New to this posting a good strategy lark and each time I’ve done it my high score has been beaten soon after!
Well played….guess I’ll have to just try and get it back! I’ll hold back back on posting the next time just to see how long it takes for someone to beat it next time! If they can?
lol @andy-2 welcome to the world of sharing in the Nest!! That’s what it’s all about , sharing and helping all the Nesters to do better :) great score and strat!! ?
I totally agree. But posting a video as your own strategy was pretty lame & spawned my comment.
@andy-2 sorry i missed your reply last year, and I’m a bit confused?I didn’t post a video, iI don’t even know how but if someone did, maybe they just didn’t see that i it was your strat? and even so, didn’t let that stop you from sharing, I know it stinks to post a strat and lose your trophy because of it, but actually take it as a compliment that your strat is that Good! sharing is one of the things that makes the Nest such a great community.
also to reply to @meanguy ,I love your idea of some sort of badge, a candy cane is a great idea, some of us tried again to suggest this , just one badge, maybe for Christmas day, a Christmas puppy but Unfortunately the plea fell flat 😥
Anyway Have a Wonderful Holiday to you both..
@kathy – I still think a December/Advent Award is a good idea. The trouble with not getting the usual Underdog (puppy) Award is that anyone can post any score, including scores achieved with powerups. That is because this time of year actual picture proof of a score is not required.
Luckily, most Nesters are honest in their postings and challenging a score is as simple as notifying the Admins.
Also, I would have replied sooner, but for some reason notifications from ABN seem to take a really long time to appear for me. I only saw your post because I was checking the page for yesterday’s Challenge.
Happy Holiday’s to you and all Nesters !!!
@meanguy Agreed no puppies, no proof required opens the door for phony scores, but as you say most, Is say 98% of Nesters are honest and in it for the fun competition and self satisfaction of Improving, and even if a phony score is posted, x there’s enough honest Nesters who can spot it and call it out quickly and @admins and nesters alike do a great job of policing the boards.
*sigh* yes i would like to see a December award of some type also, but @Sweetp is firm on the issue, it does give her and the challenge team a well deserved break.
no worries on the late reply , my notifications are a bit slow also, and some i think don’t even come through 😕
Happy Holidays to you 🎄

Seriously! My strategy posted on youtube? Royalties due now!
Great strat. @andy-2
This Video for all Friends from the NEST
Your strategy and high score then yeah no problem!
@comex666 Thank you so much for sharing your video? always happy to see everyone helping each other to improve??
@kathy @andy-2 @comex666
Indeed, we owe the videomakers lots of thanks. Not anyone of us is able to create videos. Videos are very clear to understand. And, there is no problem when the videomakers use other player’s strategy.
@e-star worked like this for years and we all could use them to better our scores.
Last but not least: we should encourage our videomakers not criticize them.
@comex666 thanks for all the efforts and good work you do for our Nest
Absolutely @bernersenn. Videos are invaluable when you’re really stuck, and @comex666 has shared many excellent videos. So many good players sharing strats, but I’d also like to commend @asher for all his detailed strats supported by screen shots. This is what makes the Nest such a great site. “Seasons” greetings to all fellow Nesters! 🎄☃️🥂❄️🍾
@peejaydee27 indeed. I forgot the detailed instructions of @asher
We may not forget guys like @vuelva @angrychicken and many others, and of course @andy-2
Thank you @comex666 for your video. It’s always easier for me to figure out what to do by watching, rather than reading it.
@sweetp
So I make the videos, pictures are better than words. I’m trying to see what’s going to happen,
and that’s in the videos
same as my video and strat. from @andy-2
but today, i use the last also.
last bird hit the right-stone cube (from two) on right side, on the edge
here a video with 232K, for example:
https://youtu.be/RrGRsntRVdo
Thanks @comex666 for the video , and congrats on the great score and Improving! 🐣
@comex666 @andy-2 Thank you both for posting a strategy and video. Each format has its own merits and reading and viewing the strategies makes us all better flingers.
223370/5
I’ve no managed to better my score using only 4 birds yet.
228540/4
Until now… lol
