Two birds, WB bombs the right end of the vertical rusty plank so that the 3 pigs below dont get hit. YB nudges the carriage in th left, the magical bottles should all fell onto the pigs below. 3 stars above 155k, I think.

Some of the top scores seem absurd, given what I’m seeing as I play.
A little explanation would go a long way here.

I can see it, all it would take is for the two blue potions to work together to boost scores really high here. Just havent been lucky enough to achieve it yet.

I’m assuming that opening the pit white whitey is a requirement in order to push the three potions in to work on the three bottom pigs…but even with all the potions working together you can only score so many points with the explosive results. I’m coming up way short on this one so are we missing a one birder?

Just got 173K.
First bird as video.
Second bird as video, but the potions tipped into the pit, and the back half of the train did >NOT< follow, allowing all pigs to be effected by the potions.
When they expanded there was significant destruction, explaining the additional 10K.
Still does not explain 180+ scores, let alone 200K+.

I really think it comes down to the two blue potions doing all their magic. You have 3 pigs that can turn in 27, for 135k, another 5 pigs for anther 25k, so that is 160k already without any destruction. I only have been playing this one for about 20-30 mins and am at about 187k right now, but the train falling into the hole caused some pigs not to be able to triple timely.
First shot somewhere on the left side of the bar above the pit, making sure the three pigs stay intact. I did a high arch with chuck, trying to have it bounce of the glass circle on top of the wagon, to where chuck falls to the left and the train moves very slowly to the right. The slow move allows the potions to all and work before the train does. More points to have here.

Nothing special, just kept trying the same thing, and I got double blue before the orange triggered. Now to just keep the debris from popping the pigs before they can multiply.

For the second shot I aimed at the wheels. This led to a slow roll of the train which gave both potions time to work before the rest of the train came crashing down.

@playdbird, et al., I don’t know how the other high scorers achieved their totals but I used a 3-bird approach.

1st Bird — Like video, drop egg to destroy middle section of pipe. Score is not important and neither is any additional damage elsewhere. Goal is just to create an opening.
2nd Bird — Shallow angle launch and accelerate for a glancing hit atop the roof of the cart. Shoot as though you were trying to hit the glass sphere on the roof and nothing else. Goal is to get the cart moving with just enough speed to tip the potions over the edge and to have both blue potions break before the orange potion breaks. If the pigs at the bottom are not affected by both blue potions, restart and try again because your score will not be any higher than that from the video strategy.
3rd Bird — Lob as far as you can and manually detonate near the base of the remaining structure. Goal is to clean up remaining pigs and debris. In my case, the entire structure was still almost completely intact after the first two shots.

NOTE: If the pigs are already affected by the Orange potion, the Blue potion ineffective and gains you no additional points. 2nd shot is key. The more slowly the cart moves the more likely that the potion bottles will tumble into the pit out of order.

Thanks for the write up @jwgardenwiz
You’re the first high scorer to give any input into these monster scores.
I spent some time with your strat.
Very hard to get the two blue potions to fall one after the other, and I often have the train debris fall into the pit before all the pigs multiply, but I will keep at it.
Thanks again!

PdB keep trying. I didn’t mean to imply that it was easy. When it does work, I’ve noticed that the first blue potion affects all three pigs – they multiply and spread apart into a “cloud” of pigs. Then if the orange potion does break, it only affects part of the cloud. The other blue potion can still affect the rest. I think that even high scores are possible.

I’ve been trying to improve my scores (currently at 215k on this level) and must amend my comment above. After many tries, I only saw the potions fall out of order — blue, blue, orange — one time. The board on which they sit pitched up then down and the rear blue potion vaulted over the orange one. Unfortunately for me, the first blue potion had taken effect and all 9 resulting pigs had already popped before the second blue reached them. I am now convinced that it almost doesn’t matter where the second bird hits the cart so long as it imparts enough momentum to push the potions over the edge. My 215k reulted from a shallow second shot into the vertical glass on the cart. Just keep trying and hope for multiple blue potions to combine. More than any other level, I believe that a high score on 28-6 is more a matter of good luck than it is a precise shot.

@playdbird I agree with you that when entering a high or top score some explanation (and I personally always post a screen dump of the top score in my album) on these pages would be helpful.
Maybe you would get an answer if you addressed the question, like I am addressing this message to you (@…). Some of the players with high scores are very active contributors to ABN so maybe there was nothing to explain except the l-factor?

I used the strategy of the second bird same as @jwgardenwiz.
I continued it after the blue portion which fell slightly earlier and fell only once in order of chip of wood → blue portion → orange portion .
Black Bird is 10K bonus.
The screenshot is not a thing at that time, but affixes it.

After hundreds of try’s to get over avg I discovered. Bomb pipe. Hit below carriage and above wheels HARD to push bottles off and get max of damage. Then hope right tower has NOT fallen over. Hit it with black bird straight on WITHOUT contact so it all flys offscreen for maximum points.

Don’t know if this is helpful I’ve had scores over 200k four or five times.
Standard procedure. Destroy the center bridge leaving the three pigs intact.
Roll the train slowly and hope for both blue potions to work.
If it’s a one-birder the score will immediately be over 200k. If the right structure is intact a score over 150k is needed after bird two.

243270 – First shot as described, second shot I favored hitting in the middle of the vertical ice on the first carriage – the first two blue potions fell once slowly after the other – complete effect, followed by the orange potion. All pigs became gigantic, as the carriage never fell – almost complete destruction.

After trying many different approaches, I am convinced that the 2nd bird should be accelerated flat into the end of the stone slab that sits on top of the pig in the cart. Of course, 1st bird like video to break the pipe above the three pigs. The results are highly variable but this shot consistantly produces higher scores than other strategies. I had a chance at 240k this way but did not luck out: I had 225k after 2 birds but the pig at the far right was still alive. There was no debris above that pig and the bomb bird cannot reach it so the level “failed”. I posted a picture to my album at https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/jwgardenwiz/album/picture/9154/. It atill takes a lot of repetition, i.e., flinging, but it works well when it does work. Jim

After a few frustrating and boring hours I decided to try a completely different approach just for the novelty. Fling the white bird slightly above horizontal and bomb the white pipes so that the carcass slams into the back of the train. If you hit it right and are lucky, this can dump the three bottles onto the rusted pipe. Use the yellow bird to break the rusted pipe dumping all three onto the pigs below. The second shot also takes a great deal of care to avoid killing pigs with the bird or falling pipes.

So far I haven’t improved over my current 181K, but it’s way more varied and interesting that the standard video strategy. I even got a one birder when the three bottles dumped properly and the carcass happened to land on and break the rusted pipe.

I think there may be another way but not managed more than 190k as yet. The accepted method of relying on the potions to mix in the correct order is nigh on impossible, well in my opinion, so you may wish to give this a go.

1. The object is to break the pipe close to the cart without breaking any potions and without the deflated bird causing any of the right side to fall into the pit. Now wait. Here’s a picture.

https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/steviep147/album/picture/17115/

2. The cart will roll slowly to the left and it will split resulting in the entire left side falling away leftwards. This now leaves the potions which will start to roll to the right. It’s possible that they will fall into the pit of their own accord but I haven’t had this happen as yet, so the yellow bird needs to be fired directly at them to push them off the cart and into the pit before the cart wheel falls.

Now hope for the best! In my limited time doing this the potions have mixed blue/blue/orange more often than I have ever had them do so and the only thing that has been missing is all three pigs being activated.

Good luck.
