Boss fight! As far as we can tell the goal in Utopia level 4-30 is to upset the Super Mongo Fat Pig’s tummy. While he’s huge, his ungodly appetite will be his undoing because he blindly eats whatever is near his mouth. He obviously loves popcorn! However, he really does not like burnt popcorn or asteroids, as they really upset his huge tummy. So the goal here is to upset his stomach until he…wait for it…explodes! A good strategy is to push asteroids into his mouth. Timing is key, as you want the asteroids near his mouth as it circles around. While going for the asteroids you’ll likely hit the popcorn makers, which will cause them to momentarily malfunction, yielding a burnt piece of popcorn. Enjoy this amazing level!
Note: The gold eggsteroid that appears after the Fat Pig pops is not a Golden Eggsteroid in the traditional sense, as it’s not obtainable (at least not that we have found). We believe it’s there to symbolize that the birds have recovered their eggsteroid. If you do need help finding the Golden Eggsteroids we have a guide for that.
Top score again for the moment. (probably till tomorrow morning) This is actually a very tricky level. You got to make sure that the pig eats a lot of the stones (don’t worry about the burnt popcorn, the stones give a lot more damage to the fat pig) but at the same time, you have to get one of the stones on the side of the pig so that the popcorn falls and breaks on the stone. Patience and luck is required to get a decent score.
For sure-3 asteroids of any size and a Terence = thank you & goodnight for this super pig! 49,050
I accidentally pushed two stones into the cornucopia on the northeast with the red bird. It generated so much burnt popcorn it killed the pig! 57250.
How pity is the Fat Pig. He was forced to vomit the eggsteroid. Well, he’s cuter if he’s small.
Lol I actually kind of like him :) I felt mean for blowing him up :D
Push the asteroids to stay at the opening of popcorn maker (mine located at the top right) to cause malfunction of it and for yielding continues burnt piece of black popcorn.
and I meant by using the 1st bird only.
Agreed, send the first bird to bounce a few asteroid to clog the popcorn maker in the top right corner. I aimed for the left of the 2 asteroids at the 10 o clock position of the boss pig. Then sit & wait.
@bluigugu and @burpie – I’ve tried this several times without success. Here are my problems:
1. How are you getting stones from 10 o’clock to 2 o’clock without it dropping into the gravitational field and stop exactly at the opening of the chute?
2. IF I get a chute (blocked bottom left worked twice) it did not continue to spew out burnt popcorn but stopped all three from producing.
3. How long does pig spin with two purple eyes and a head full of uneaten popcorn, mouth opening and closing before he gives up from starvation? You mention above to block the maker then just wait.
While waiting with zero new popcorn made and none eaten:
4a. If I tip my phone say to plug it in, popcorn is produced. 1-2 kernels per chute.
4b. All his chewing knocks free kernels from his head. For every piece of “head corn” he eats, the chutes will procure exactly that many even though they are frozen. Once the number is even again, they stop.
4c. After five minutes, though nothing changed, the chutes start producing again. When that happened. I was forced to throw Terrence.
4d. Threw Terrence and big pig spun in a circle, thrilled to shake off all the stale popcorn he’s been wearing and all production started again. When he ate Terrence he blew up but defeated the whole purpose of this strategy – CLEARING WITH FEWER THAN THREE BIRDS.
So how did you all get this to work, exactly? Thanks!
@maiasatara While waiting on replies to that impressive list of questions, here’s another strategy to try. I think it’s a 4-birder.
Use the first two birds to drop a big boulder of your choice approximately where Big Pig’s ears are.
Fire Terence to land between both boulders, on top of Big Pig’s head.
Now, Piggy gets to eat popcorn that falls from his ears to his chinny chin chin, but any that falls between the two boulder “dams” will be destroyed (or eaten) by Terence’s corpse, which will never go away. Each kernel is 10 points, so you can rack up some nice points before he starts his spin cycle (this happens when he’s not eating a popcorn at least every second or two.) There’s a finite number of popcorn that’s allowed onscreen at once. As more of it gets flung out of the grav field, the production slows, then stops.
Sometimes the spin cycle will fling the boulders into other debris, and the bumpers will bring it back, killing piggy. others, you need to help things along by sending OB into another big boulder, and trying to send as much debris towards piggy’s mouth.
Doesn’t always work, but it’s a fun strategy. I spent hours on it :)
@maiasatara I just replayed this level and got the exact same score. I bump into the single, medium size boulder by itself. Not the 2 other boulders closer to the gravity field. When I bump into that boulder, I want it to travel in a straight line to the large boulder to the north of the pig, and I want the large boulder to tap the medium boulder to it’s right into the popcorn maker. The large boulder keeps the medium one in place.
The popcorn maker spits out burned popcorn for about 2 minutes until the pig goes pop.
Thanks @kelani idk what is going on but i aimed like you said and now I’m just rackinh up points:/ will see what happens :)
Red and Terence are taking a ride lol! Now i just had a boulder fall on its own i think this level has glitches @mvnla2
Nothin happened! I can’t even make average on this stupid frustrating level:/!!
Wooot!! Finally i got the boulder in the right enough position to shoot out a whole bunch (maybe 10 ) burnt popcorn .. one bird just as @burpie says thanks burpie:)
Red Bird at bottom left asteroid near the popcorn maker, Orange Bird at the trio asteroids at top left, and finally feed the Fat Pig with Terence.
Oh, and watch the timing. A great timing is hit the asteroids while he’s munching (and when his mouth is near the asteroids).
Tips and tricks: Try letting the Fat Pig consume the Atom Bird, Terrence, and the Firebomb Bird. Activate their powers when they’re in his stomach and he’ll have a bigger stomachache!
Maybe this spills the fun of finishing this level, but the big pig can be killed with just the first red bird (leaving another 60.000 points for the remaining birds).
Hit the bird at the left of the rock in the NW-corner so this rock caramboles to the two most northern rocks. These two will then block the upper popcornpopper, leaving it to block the ‘healthy’ popcorns and spitting out just black ones. Then just wait for the big pig to eat all the black ones and explodes.
Have you actually done this or is this just theory?
@playdbird I did this stragety today and I got a good score but I haven’t entered it yet
@willem, this is exactly how I got mine to work as well but the popcorn maker only spit out the black popcorn for about 30 seconds and then it was back to the normal popcorn, lucky enough I just left the level running and all the bad popcorn eventually made it around to his mouth for a 1-birder.
Hi, I have also done my best score with this method
That’s how I got my score but, man, is that a wicked, tricky shot. Lots of luck!
Lol, that was pretty entertaining to watch. Thanks for the fun strategy! :D
Thanks for this strategy (see my other comment below).
Whoot! This really works! I didn’t think it would, because I only got 5 or 6 black popcorns, but I waited, and waited, … and w…a…i…t…e…d. A couple of pieces of popcorn pushed the big boulder further away from the horn, and I almost gave up. Finally, a piece of popcorn pushed the little boulder at ~7 o’clock into the pigs mouth, and he died!!! Incidentally, after a while the fat pig starts spitting out the popcorn he swallows.
Cool strategy! For those who are having trouble with the asteroid placement, here’s a screenshot. It produced burnt popcorn from the start until the end of the level:

@PlayDBird…Do you mind sharing your strategy? I assume from your comments that it was different from Willem’s, yet you had a very respectable score. I know it was a while ago, but if you can remember, I’d appreciate it. I am really struggling with this level.
Hi @duffy…
Read down below for a comment by marc987. He also has a screen shot. I think the “jammed popcorn” strategy is all the same. It’s hard to describe, but you have to use the red bird to hit the leftmost of the three “floating” asteroids so that it bounces into the two near the upper right popcorn machine. The asteroids will get stuck in there and the machine will continually produce black popcorn, and the pig will die just from eating that, leaving you with 60K bonus. Check out the screenshot and read ALL the threads about this because there are a lot of them. And be prepared for a lot of trial and error. I’d say it took me hundreds of shots to finally get it. Good luck!
Thank you, @PlayDBird. I’ll check all the threads again. Marc987’s screenshot did help a lot. I had thought the asteroids had to be “side by side” in front of the popcorn machine. I really appreciate your reply and help. I’ll keep trying. Maybe I’ll check YouTube and see if, by chance, E-Star has posted a video. It’s just so hard for me to visualize this shot in my head. Thank you again, my friend.
I know @amslimfordy is trying to get this on video also. One thing you may want to keep in mind is that it’s kind of a delicate shot – you may not want to pull the slingshot back all the way. It’s almost something that happens more by accident than by intention. Don’t get frustrated – keep trying! :-)
@PlayDBird…if amslimfordy could get this on video, it would be wonderful! But I’ll keep at it. I looked at marc987’s screenshot again. I must have been half-asleep when I looked at it last night. The asteroids ARE side by side, but kind of at the side of the popcorn maker. Duh. But I did think they had to be directly in front. What it comes down to is that I just don’t “get it”. TY again.
@PlayDBird…OMG. Got it on my first try today. I cannot believe it. I tried it several times after but couldn’t repeat. I’ll take my score & run. It WAS fun to see him explode. Thank you again for your support.
@duffy LOL – really? Your first try? I’m really happy for you – glad you didn’t have to put in as much time as I did. Now you can leave this level behind – I don’t think you can get much higher than you did! Congrats to you! :-)
@playdbird thanks for your help! That was fun! ;)
@sunshine – glad I could help – glad it was fun!
Yay. Score= 51770! I had beaten it before just by experimenting but only got like 21500. Now I got 3 stars! It does take a lot of patience and just trying different things but getting him to eat the stones is the best way to go.
I got a one-birder. Shoot the RB to the 3 asteroids at the top left part, at above the lowest one in the three, the RB should bounce to the top part and pushes some more asteroids to destroy the popcorn and upset the Fat Pig’s stomach. If done correctly, the pig should be killed and gains about 55+K (maybe).
I hate to be picky, but there are seven(7) birds total to use. You said you shot only one bird, the red one. That should have left six(6) on the podium waiting. Your score should have been over 60k.
I don’t know why, but I’m positive that I only shot 1 bird and killed the pig, which got me a 59k. Don’t know why. Maybe I accidentally shot another bird without noticing.
What the …, my PC apps freeze when i play this level, after using second bird, fat pig is destroy, starting count unused bird, game freeze.
First time AB game freeze on my PC.
Lol, I have hours of enjoyment having him explode! :)
I may have the lowest 1 * score 8,320 though not able to enter a score that low ;-((
Will keep trying need to get above average.
Back to flinging.
34,320 now still only 1*. Will have to wait until the train trip home to improve the score must pay attention to work now.
The golden egg at the end is not obtainable but worth 100 points if u blow it up.
When I shoot at it the birds go straight through it….
Anyone else had the fat pig start spinning around really fast? I thought it was going to do something special, but then he stopped and went back to spinning slowly.
it did that for me too, just a few times before I got my posted score! Was hoping he’d bounce or something :)
I ended up getting my 3-stars by catching a rebound from Red back into a lucky small asteroid which also clipped a popcorn maker, inflating Orange between the bumper and another large asteroid, then hitting the pig square in the nose with Terence. He was spat back out twice, coming back to the pig’s mouth both times off the bumpers, and the fat one popped quicker than he’d done on other attempts :)
I let this one run without toss a bird to see if it self destructed.
So far not.
But, after the fat pig does it’s fast spin thing to fling off all the popcorn, the horns don’t seem to provide him with more.
Has anyone else tried to let it go to see what happens?
I have let it go several times and had fat pig eat as many as three asteroids after having unpopped kernels pop in his mouth and knocking asteroids off the bouncers and into his mouth. SO far no complete destruction though, and by the time he is done it is hard to find additional asteroids to feed him.
Fat Pig does this after the popcorn starts to slow down, due to most of it being collected on his back, or flung out into space.
I’m trying to get the 1-birder on video. Can someone provide me with a detailed description? My understanding is you try to “jam” the northeast popcorn horn, though it is not clear which asteroid(s) are involved in this push.
The only way I can even get close to jamming it up is to slowly push the small rock(upper left) so that it hits bounce pad, then the left most large one at top, pushes it against the other one and both(hopefully) stop in front of the horn. I have almost got it several times, but so far, not enough to make it keep sending out burnt popcorn.
It’s tough to do. At least IMO it is.
Good luck!
I also don’t think the R/B can be shot off at full speed.
Willem’s strategy requires one to skim off the top left boulder, pushing the 2 boulders that are near the licorice. Those 2 boulders (with luck) push each other hitting the horn in such a way one is touching the horn, while the other is touching the boulder. Do you know the concept that once you hit the horn with something, it bounces off? The first boulder is responsible for hitting the horn, while the other is responsible for keeping the first boulder from moving, making the horn spit out lots of burned popcorn.
OK – 66860 – That works! Top of top left boulder(maybe 9-10 on the clock), push it into the larger upper right one that will push the smaller against the horn, then the larger one nestles against the smaller one.
Still not a very easy shot, and not really consistent. It doesn’t take much for them to ‘disconnect’ and the horn start putting gout white again.
Finally got it quite an amazing shot and funny to watch the burnt popcorn constantly pouring out.
One litte thing to mention is that the two larger asteroids in front of the licorice get jammed by the horn. I’m only saying this because I wasn’t sure if the asteroid the bird hits had to get jammed.
Anyway thanks all for a high scoring strategy that finally paied off.
My shot this is. And I’m waiting. My account has turned out better when the average stood at the top of the stone, right from the gun humble. Cannon threw five black popcorn. That’s it. But it happens that the level of finishes from room to eat a pig. Then the score was 64K65K. Sorry for my english)
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/zatoloko/album/picture/768/
And look at this. The average stone by the gun. why black flies popcorn. So I took off 5 black popcorn.
https://www.angrybirdsnest.com/members/zatoloko/album/picture/769/
Shot at small stone. pushing large into medium, and up against the horn. It only put out 5 or 6 burnt popcorn’s, but I waited for the to reach the mouth. It didn’t take long.
http://www.bild.me/bild.php?file=6622059Shot_at_small_stone.JPG
@amslimfordy, I guess you didn’t get lucky yet.
Obtained it with the published pictures.
Fully zoomed out you’ll see 3 asteroids NW of bigpig. 1has a bright star, it spins at times. Hit it on the left side so it goes to the big North asteroid, which also spins at times. That asteroid should skim the gravity field and continue to the small NE asteroid pushing it on the horn. The first asteroid goes down to the big pig. Timing lets you either feed it to the pig or crunch the popcorn on his skin. The big asteroid goes into bumper and to the horn as well, leaving the smaller one getting stuck at the opening.
Now just wait for black popcorn, it will kill him eventually. White corn means you can start over if you want a 1-birder.
To be more specific, the first asteroid goes up and bounces back towards the big pig. The big asteroid bounces, but not on the jelly. I got better results when the skin was filled with popcorn, but a 1-birder is good for 66k anyways which is a nice score.
I was able to get the stones to set next to the upper right popcorn gun without floating away and it shot continuous black popcorn until the pig was defeated.
Utopia 4-30, 66910 w/1 bird..
Many thanks to all of the super shooters for sharing this great strat!!
A photo that perhaps may help some.. Thx again!!
http://i48.tinypic.com/28k3vao.png%5B/IMG%5D
@marc987 Thank you so much. Studied your picture and was able to pull off the shot after 5-10 minutes of trying.
Congrats @suicidesolution, definately fun to sit there and watch him eat all the burnt popcorn lol
Yes. And it was much easier than my strategy of firing two birds off and waiting for pts and luck to accumulate. Got 60K score that way, but it took 30 minutes. I think 70K is possible with the fire & wait strategy, but it would take some extreme patience and luck. This way was much better.
@marc987 – It happened just the same way for me…to the point we have the exact same score…how strange is that? Thanks for the pic!
I wedged the asteroid under the popcorn maker and the pig kept eating kernels and bad popcorn and he didn’t explode when I expected him to – the points just kept accumulating.
http://angrybir.de/NZ1uRV
I have a 2 birdie strat for 58650 for anyone looking for an alternative to the one birdie which I haven’t been able to get..Yet!
Aim red bird at the same stone everyone else is referring to on the one birdie but if it doesn’t wedge the two boulders against the NE popcorn horn for the one birdie you can still get an above average score by getting atleast two of these boulders to get sucked in and eaten by the “Ginormous Fatty”.
Mine bounced off the licorice and went into the gravity field while taking another boulder with it. Make sure Fatso is facing the right way for them to land near his mouth.
Then aim OB at the bottom left between the horn and the two stones and manually inflate him so he hits the horn to get some black popcorn to come out while pushing the two boulders there, (big and little one) into his gorging mouth. Again make sure you wait until he has turned his mouth towards this direction. Four stones and some black popcorn should do the trick!
Well what do ya know..I just got the one birdie, like 5 minutes after posting my two bird strat, yay me!!! Thanks for tips everyone ;-)
When I first saw this level I had to laugh seeing the Gianormous Fat Hog with his tongue hanging out gorging all the popcorn. I love it, too funny…and then I had Terrence land on his head and he started sweating, tee hee…Eewwwyyy Seewwwyyy, lol ;-)
@PlayDBird…ran out of threads. I just couldn’t leave it alone. Kept trying to get it one more time & I did…for a higher score. I really have put hours & days into this level. i just happened to get lucky early today – twice. I was beginning to think I’d have to leave the Leaderboard blank for this level cuz I never got a score high enough to enter. Now I’m wondering if I can beat high score. Just kidding.
@duffy – I’ve gotten it twice too – but my second score was about 1000 points less.
I think you should give the high score a try – you’re almost there, and you’re obviously in the zone.
Give it a whirl! :-D
@PlayDBird…I followed your advice & went for Gold but I couldn’t get it. The asteroids landed right & burnt popcorn would come out but then it turned white. Never could improve my score. Maybe tomorrow. :D
I just kept flinging the red bird and waiting to see what happened. Then restarted and did again. Many, many times. You definitely need to push one of the asteroids towards the upper part of the horn’s opening. I had several times where the asteroid went directly in front of the horn’s opening and all that happened was the popcorn coming out pushed the asteroid out of the way. So the key is to get it slightly above, kind of like on the upper corner.
I have done it 4 times now – scores ranging from 66K – 69K. Seems just a matter of luck as to how many points beyond 60K that you get.
Meant to say 66K-68K … oops …but it was close to 69! lol
One bird. Red bird to 1 o’clock, just barely under top of 3 rocks. Puts large of 3 on surface to rack up points. Red bird also onto surface and gets swallowed and spit out four or five times hitting rocks and cornucopia putting more debris and burnt popcorn for Hector to swallow, then wait. 74800. https://angrybir.de/3w4KhTZ.
you should let the pig eat bad things like rocks and burnt popcorn
@AMslimfordy i think you watch how i met your mother ’cause. ..wait for it… Word was.the most popular word on. .wait for it… How i met your mother
Loves,
Marvin. ..wait for it… Ericksen
This one was actually @BirdLeader‘s text, I believe. The “wait for it” doesn’t sound like me…
Really? ! ’cause it’s say. ..wit for it… By @AMslimfordy is’nt it?
Yes, but I had not yet reached this level when I was creating the posts. BirdLeader came in afterwards and changed the text.
defeated the big pig with three birds. then i saw an eggsteroid. so… i shoot a bird at it and another one but it didnt help, then from that moment i realised it was just a stupid picture!!!
WAIT…….for me, once the fatso stopped eating, and I had fed him at least 3 asteroids and a couple of black popcorn pieces, I just waited and waited (which I’m not good at) and he exploded, giving me 58000……finally. Both eyes were purple and his tongue was hanging out. Thanks! I could never get the shot that blocked the popcorn feeder.
Woo Hoo! New top score! Just sat and waited for pig to shoot popcorn kernels out of his mouth at the asteroids surrounding him. Got lucky and he pinned one of them next to a popcorn popper so it spit out several black pieces. Unfortunately he went into quick spin mode and flung everything away from himself before he ate all of it, but it only took feeding him one more rock to finish him off. On the plus side, when rocks get spun off and explode against the cookies, they give a lot of points!
@Burbman — Congrats on the high score! You certainly deserve getting a high score or two on the basis of patience. Don’t you still have more than one high score in these wait forever for self-destruction levels? So how long did you have to wait this time? What was the score before you gave him a rock? I’m thinking we should add this to the list of self-destroying levels. I assume you only shot one bird after the pig was almost done?
@mvnla2 – I think this is my only current “patience” high score. I let this one run about 20 – 25 minutes, and after he did his little spin move to break a couple of rocks and send the remaining black popcorn off into space, score was somewhere in the high six thousand range. Definately add this to the list of self destroying levels, as I am positive this level will eventally yield a zero birder for a score in the high 70- low 80k range.
@playdbird – I swear I saw a post from you regarding this, but cannot find it now. I have uploaded a screenshot of my score to my album
Nice (non) shooting @burbman ! I hoped that score would last longer, but you found the magic approach it seems. Congrats!
Aiming for the no-birder and was left with a rotating pig with popcorn hair and litle movement. Chucked in red and all went wild with pig rotating like mad and virtually all rocks ended up in centre, eaten by pig which then exploded leaving a 73k score. Still chasing the no-birder…
Once again @burbman you have helped me out. My score was not that low but was finding new Space levels a bit samey until i saw your post about chasing down a ‘no-birder’ on this level. Thought I would join in. One birder got me current second to your great score.
Race you to the no birder….
Fling a big rock/terence onto the pig and all popcorn onto it is popped.I had the patience to gain 12K that way but then all poppers stopped working.Enraged,I used next bird to finish boss off(4 birds used)but still managed 50K.Some might patiently wait,but it’s like building a sand castle using pinches of sand(10 pts each,imagine)
Just got the 1-birder, the trick is definitely to get both rocks to block, as if there is only one then the rock will eventually, maybe after only one black popcorn, be blown away and the normal, white popcorn will return, resulting in no one-birder:)
Another level with (in theory) unlimited high score. I got top 20 w/ 3 birds. Red drops near SE big boulder, yellow drops far SE big boulder, but not in his mouth. I landed them in approx. the same locations as the pig’s ears, where they and red’s corpse sat for about 45 mins, slowly nuking popcorn as it rained down. Eventually, the unpopped kernels bounce enough popcorn out of play that no more is popped. (There’s apparently a limit of ~50 pieces that can be onscreen at once) Once that happens, and before piggy starts his disco revolution, flung Terence between small boulders at NE, bounced off the bumper and kicked the large boulder down onto the other two, which rolled them and terence around into piggy’s mouth.
Score with this varies wildly based on randomness of how many popcorns get kicked out of play. I got 20k-68k, but as a rule, I have awful luck, so I’m sure much more is possible.
I also tried dropped 3 boulders and terence on piggy’s head. but the unpopped ones tended to ‘clog’ access to Terence, and they popped instantly on impact with boulders, which made everything get flung away too quickly. You get maybe 5-8k rapidly before the scoring drops off.
Much patience….;-)
If you can “park” some asteroids on the popcornucopia at the 2:00 o’clock position. It will continuously make black popcorn. You then just sit an wait. With max x 10,000 points
Great strategy @Simon! Just like you said I have parked with the red bird one of the astroids and just wait :)
