Our strategy for Angry Birds Surf and Turf level 15 is to launch the red bird at the small wood beam supporting the top right tower. If you destroy this beam the entire tower will fall to the left and enough of the debris should come down to take out a good portion of the bottom structure. Now use the next yellow bird to mop things up, but be forewarned, that helmet pig won’t go without a fight. The score in the video below is 88,310.
Version 2022:
Same strategy almost oneshotted it. The 2nd bird shot for max destruction.
An observation: in order to trigger the fall in the 2nd strike, the remaining structure on the lower one have to be at about 70% intact, otherwise it’d not generate enough momentum to pull everything – including that helmet pig – to fall, though it’d not matter if you manage to get the yellow bird to knock it out, of course.
but in the WT there is more than 50% gone, I had less after the 1rst shot. 90 K,,, the 2nd shot only needs to take out the wooden front plate and the top board pulls the Helmet Pig to its death. Just like in the Vid.
I got three stars on all levels and mighty eagle 100% destra tino score on all 15 leva. I was wandering if three âre any golden eggs in surf and turf. Tks for hints.
Anyone finds golden egg in Surf & Turf yet???
not yet, maybe in the upcoming updates for world 2 and 3.
level 6 has one
We are referring to ABo, not Facebook.
Managed to get a one-shot, using the standard launch of the red bird, scored 98670.
That’s one hellishly lucky shot, congrats! I nearly had it a couple of times but had to settle for the 2 birder eventually.
Thanks. It was the one and only time that I’ve broken 90K on this level.
Like said, almost oneshotted ;-) but good to know it’s doable.
Tried breaking the pieces all around and ended up by just taking out the vertical wood and getting a good “roll” with the structures to finish a one-birder. It’s possible, but I couldn’t identify a spot for a repeatable strat.
This level is impossible on my iPhone. Same with the ME.
It is possible. Keep trying.
Finally got the three stars on this level
Not on iPad yet? Nonsense. Last week I got a push notification sent to me that there was a new level, I opened angry birds, played right through to the end of Surf n Turf no problem, after that when I try to go back into Surf n Turf it now just says “Coming Soon”. No matter what I cannot get back in but I can assure everyone that the new levels are already on your iPad but locked, I must have hit it lucky by finding a way in.
The first 15 levels are available for iOS. The other 30 will come in later updates.
Strat to more consistently get 88k-90k: Don’t wait for the upper tower to fall, launch the yellow bird immediately after the red so that the upper tower falls on the lower structure as it is already collapsing.
Thanks for the tip, got the final star! :)
yep… that’s what did it!!
Finally got it! Thanks for the hint.
This was the only level I didn’t get three stars in, on Facebook, hopefully I will have more luck this time around. The helmet pig was my nemesis, he must be defeated! :)
This level gave me fits on Facebook and it gave me even more fits on Android. This is one of those levels where the targeting system from Space would help tremendously. I had the best results hitting the vertical wood plank at the bottom of the structure, right where it meets the horizontal stone base. It almost seemed like I hit the stone plank and the force from that broke the vertical wood plank. I also noticed that if you can get the stone triangle that is located above and to the left of sunshine’s nemesis to fall, the second shot is much, much easier to handle.
Now that I’ve finished my little vacation to Surf and Turf, I guess it’s time to head back to Space. I’ll be checking in from there as much as possible to help everyone with my seemingly annoying “Precise Aiming Techniques.”
I really dislike this level!!!!!!! What is the trick?? I’m doing just what the video shows, and nothing!!
Let me go back and rework this for you, sunshine. Give me an hour or so and I will come back with exact aiming tools for you. The problem is, I can’t get fully zoomed in on this level. I’ll check back in.
Wow, thats really kind of you to do that, thank!!!!! :D
Ok, sunshine. It took a little longer than I thought for this. Partially because I had to feed the kids lunch and clean up the kitchen. The other part was this level. The scores are based on the luck of the falling debris from the top structure onto the bottom structure. So, we have to get the luck on our side with a clean first shot. This level starts as zoomed in as possible. Leave it that way.
First bird – The open part of the sling has a V shape. This is what we will use as a reference point. Line up little red’s beak to the junction of the V. It should be about perpindicular to that point. Firing the bird should land him near the stone plank acting as the top structure’s base. This should break the short vertical wood plank and bounce the bird backwards toward the front structure. The top structure will roll left while catching a ride on the lowest pig’s head. You will have anywhere between 45-60k here.
Second bird – This shot is misleading as far as purpose. Pull bird straight back to horizontal, then pull finger up to where the bird is about 3/4 of a bird higher than horizontal. Release bird. This should send the bird downwards into the base of the bottom structure. The key here is you do not want to accelerate bird to break the wood and continue to take out the helmet pig. You want to accelerate the bird to hit the point where the lowest stone triangle meets the stone plank foundation of the bottom structure. Doing this breaks the vertical wood block allowing the remainder of the structure to rest on yellow bird’s head and roll off to the left. When the structure rolls off, it should take the remaining structure and that darn helmet pig with it. I hit this strat perfectly twice and ended up with 90k or a little better both times.
This level takes a lot of persistance, but I know you can pull it off! I hope this helps.
OMG, rd thanks for taking all of the time to figure this out and write, thank you, thank you. MUFC is the one who told me to check this out, thank you, BOTH!!! :) I will try this out and let you know what happens! :) also thanks for your votes, and kind comments!! :)
Rd, I struck gold!!!!! I cannot thank you enough!! You have no idea how many times I tried this level, I got this score with six tries!!! If that doesn’t get you share the wealth, well… :)
Wow, very nice detailed description :). I have gotten many, many extra points with your tips, you definitely deserve Share the Wealth. I had managed to 3 star all of these levels before watching any walkthroughs, but I improved so much on most of them, thanks to all of the suggestions you, and everyone else, posted. Thank you again for all of the assistance.
I can’t thank you enough for all your strats, rd! Thanks!
Haven’t posted my score yet because my Pod ran out of battery, lol, charging it right now :) Will enter when it’s ready!
Really nice strat and written clearly rdnzlrips. Thanks for the help. That second shot is a tricky one and then you just have to hope that all the wood and stone plus the pig roll off to the left.
Thank you and anytime, @dark-cloud. That second shot is so tricky and critical to the success on this level. I’m always glad to help!
@rdnzlrips82 You know RD when you are right, you are right. Thanks for the great tips and the write up on this level. Gained 1k, I will take it and be happy. About the only item to add is that if a good fall of the right structure occurs, it will eliminate the upper stone triangle to the left of the helmeted pig making the second shot easier and obtaining a few more points from better destruction of debris.
Thanks @rd — This finally got me above average. Only once, but once is good enough. Just noticed that I topped your score. Wow! Had to read your strat several times (not your fault); I kept getting some of the instructions mixed up with other strats!
Well detailed tips ~ Thanks…
Does anyone know why this level doesn’t show up on Game Centre for the iPhone?
Thanks,
L2C
I think Angry Birds maxed out on the number of possible leader boards in Game Center.
Exactly Sal. There can only be 25 leaderboards (and existing ones cannot be removed).
Hi all,
Here is a strategy that I haven’t seen above. Has been netting me a score of around 92K.
The entire strategy lies in a precision (and perhaps a bit lucky) shot with the first red bird. There is a bit of counter-intuitive strategy here because we all know that red by himself can’t break the little wooden rectangles that balance the structures … BUT if you take a standard straight arcing shot but can hit the little wooden rectangle on the MOST BOTTOM LEFT POSSIBLE bit of the triangle on the top structure the triangle will SKIP a bit off the ground (circle) and will HOP a bit to the left! It still won’t break but it shifts the entire structure to the left and it MAKES THE STRUCTURE TIP OVER just like if you had broken the little wooden triangle at the base! It works so well I have almost nailed a one birder twice! The second shot is just the standard low angle shot with yellow through the base of the remaining bit of the lower structure and helmet pig. Average score between 91-92K. Good luck! PPM
any ideas when world 2 and 3 will be released?
No idea as of today, sorry. Also, please don’t post the same message twice
I have a different strategy here I found a bit easier. I used the first bird to hit the bottom structure first, right where there is a split in the thin horizontal wood plank just above the middle cement triangle. Red can cause this cement triangle to roll off to the left which leaves the “Helmet” pig basically unprotected so that you have a better chance of the top structure to take him out. Second bird to the left trianle base of the top structure but don’t accelerate as this will cause him to lodge under the long thin cement plank and allow it to roll off of him and down into the bottom structure to get remaining piglets.
Slightly higher average score using this strategy, but not by much.
@lesleyg So do accelarate yb at all?
@kathy…No, I didn’t accelerate the YB because it caused him to roll up under the cement plank rather then break it, which caused the whole top to roll off to the left. Wish I could help more. It seems there maybe some eaiser strats on here, but I see you’ve tried them all. Just keep at it, maybe rd’s is a bit easier?
Brilliant idea angry adivisor thanks!
i know this isn’t a good place to post this but…how long is it going to take Rovio to make the other surf and turf levels that are marked coming soon
Rovio has recently put in a lot of effort to get all major platforms up-to-date. Mac just got the first 15 levels today, and still doesn’t have Fry Me to the Moon, so perhaps shortly thereafter.
This one took me forever, and I see I’m not alone. I am playing on a Nook Tablet, so I get the updates about a month after they come out (if lucky). Finally got 88,020… that’ll do donkey, that’ll do…
Had two stars and then got caught up in Angry Birds Space, so I just now came back to this game. I got a 89430 though using the directions in the walkthrough.
Followed the video, but it took about 100 tries to break 90,000.
I also tried the vid but it is difficult for me to get 3 stars
89080 with 2 birds. First red as in the video. Then I waited for the tower to settle, then aimed yellow right at the thick wood slab to punch through to Mr. Pain Helmet Pig. That was the only way I could get anywhere; if I tried to punch through with the yellow while the first tower was still falling, one of the baby pigs would somehow survive the fall from their ice block.
I give up I am sending my sincere appeal to the high scorer @thetoddman23 could you please give me some direction:( I have tried every strategy on the page at least 100 times over unlucky level for me I am only about 500 pts under ..please help us little people;)
Hehe @kathy but I apologize, this is just one of those levels you shoot the first bird and hope for the best. From what I remember I hit the middle horizontal cement piece of the right structure (the one just above the pig farthest to the right on the bottom), the structure fell to the left and something hit the thick vertical piece just to the right of the helmet pig and broke it. When this happened the momentum of the top structure falling to the left and this piece breaking caused the whole bottom left structure to roll over the helmet pig to the left as well causing a lot of damage and a one bird result. Sorry I am not much more help but I do remember all of these events happening but was just my lucky day :).
Ty for repy @thetoddman23 and for the srat;) maybe my lucky day will come..todays not looking good lol;)
I wasn’t able to break 90k for awhile. Just kept at it. After about half an hour I was going to move on when I scored 94k. I kept switching between the WT and @lesleyg‘s strat. My high score came from the WT video. Thx to all for tips :-)
Wow, I was doing all the right things and getting the proper results, just not with a very high score. Couldn’t get past 87,800 with 2 birds. Finally I noticed that if you can get the red bird to hit the right structure but then bounce off, it’ll cause a little damage below before the structure hits it, which is enough to take everyone out in one shot! 98,090!!!
This was the worst level I’ve had and I’m happy to just have gotten the three stars after 3 days of playing.
I wrote about an hour ago about a fastidious level, boy was I wrong, this has to be the most frustrating level in all of S&T, even if you do everything correctly and you already possess 3 stars, it only gives you scores in the upper 2 star range or worse yet, it gives you 3 stars, but at a lower score than you already have, and never mind the helmeted pig, he’s the easiest to kill, it’s all the debris above him that just won’t fall and keeps you cursing the day Rovio came up with these infernal levels.
yes, repeat the process as in the video, at a point, i got three star by luck, what a level….
video just wasn’t working for me. try and try again best i could do was 86K. Then this idea hit me. fire red as in video then as fast as you can shoot chuck at a moderate downward angle. speed him up and take out the vertical wood to the left of Helmet. the resulting destabilization got me 96K
Nice score JackS @spdlives! I’ve been doing it that way for quite a while, but never managed more than 92k. Here along I thought all the 95k + scores were 1-birders.
@BPC to be honest….that shot is about 50 percent luck. but keep at it. if i can recreate the shot i will try to remember to record it. i have the evaluation copy of bandicam…so if i can help that way i will. i will let ya know if that happens.
Fling Long, and Prosper.
I tried following the video, and the piggies weren’t playing game (or rather, they were playing their game too well). Lots of times I got all piggies in 2 birds like the video but scores no higher than84k. In the end I just got 3* by doing both the video shots in quick succession so that both towers were collapsing at the same time- seemed to cause a lot of damage. Wonder if it’s possible to score high that way, should leave it for now, have finals to pass…
Maybe they changed the level or something a bit, but i’ve been consistantly getting 95k+ easily by taking out the bottom tower first, top tower second….
i remember this level was har, but now it seams incredibly easy….. 14th place up from 1346th place or something
i mean, it’s just red bird to the vertical wood piece to the left of the helmit pig…… that rolls that whole tower off…. then an easy yellow bird shot to the top tower’s base…..it falls for lots of points
Wow @crash, you’re not kidding! In three minutes I went from 111th place to number 10. Thanks for sharing :)
Sorry, that should have been to @tmax
And a few more flings for top score 103,630. All that was left was the right wood triangle of the upper tower.
You,re welcome…. I think it was you I knocked out of #1 on a rio airfield chase level #3 I think, lol… I couldnt believe noone including myself had tried this.simple.strat
@tmax I was trying it the same way a long time ago without much success. I think you are right, it is simply much, much easier now. In twenty minutes of flinging, I had several 100k scores. I even got decent scores when the first bird did not completely fall the lower tower.
I am on the chase….up to number 6 !!!
Very nice find @tmax and thanks for the heads up in the BP @bonneypattycat. This was the strat that gave me my woeful 90k score 2+ years ago and after 1/2hr I’ve went up 9k from 600th to 12th place! Definitely a lot easier,I hated this level. I wonder how many hidden gems are out there ;)
thanks for the mention @jlz-666 …. that was what I thought too about the “hidden gems” , lol ….. i’m sure there must be a few.
I guess next time I will post in the BP as well…. I figured *somebody* would see the post here though and that eventually word would get out, lol…. have a good day all.
@tmax I would’ve never found this little gem if BPC hadn’t mentioned it in BP. There’s just far too many comments and levels to keep up with. Thanks again for this great find and if you stumble across any more then please drop by the pub and share. I for one owe you a drink :)
@tmax I’d like to add my thanks for the tipoff here. Upped my score 8k.
96090/2
thx to @tmax for the strat.
here my video:
https://youtu.be/DxXRZoSRgpY
Thanks @tmax for the strat and @comex666 for the video. Am getting higher scores aiming the second bird at the horizontal stone plank above the triangle. Good luck with the challenge.
if someone wants to shade my strategy light blue and raErasecist comment afterward that would be fine thank you.
Wow is this level ever easier, didn’t take long to improve by 9k.
Like @tmax described, red down to the wood beside the helmet pig.
Then yellow to the bottom left wooden triangle up top. I don’t accelerate him, it gives a better chance of getting yellow to become a fulcrum & roll almost everything off the top.
Thanks so much @karen68 for clarifying @tmax Crash 2nd shot. That “fulcrum roll” you described is the key to higher scores.
At Challenge start I saw Crash’s strat & immediately started improving my Android phone’s almost 3yr old 92350. I tried boosting & not boosting & eventually managed 99450 where it seemed I was stuck until your post. With just a few more tries I hit 100k.
I’m once again stuck, but it’s definitely user error as personally I need to be more consistent with both shot #1 & #2 as I’m getting lots of 51s, only a few 53s & just 1 54k after shot #1 & still have to find the exact release for #2 so he just rolls under the horizontal piece so that fulcrum roll happens.
Thanks a lot @tmax for your find! And @karen68 for the second shot tip!
@karen68, others are saying this level was changed so it is ‘easier’. I don’t see any change – the structure is the same now as it has been. The difference is in going for the lower structure first and then the top. That does cause a lot more damage overall. @lesleyg mentioned this strategy over 3 years ago (see above in the comments here); then @tmax figured out the same strat in January 15 and shared it again, which is when others seemed to start really using it for more points. I jumped about 8k today so far by going for that vertical board on bottom and then sending Chuck over to the top tower left wood triangle. I hadn’t tried that way before today. I did a compare though and this level has not been made easier – just a lot of us are more ‘seasoned’ AB players now and have a better feel for use of the birds. Maybe that is it for now?
@gypsybird true, the structure isn’t any different, it just seems the points are a lot easier to come by. I don’t remember being able to break the thick wooden block with the red bird before, or being able to get such complete clearance of the bottom using just little red.
There are some big improvements in scores today – it took me about 3 minutes to go from 92k to 98k, then two 101k scores in about an hour of flinging. That plus the frustration evident in some of the older comments (albeit most with a different strategy) made me think they did something to make a higher score easier to get.
But, like you said, we are all more seasoned flingers (a nice way of saying older? Lol) so maybe that counts for something :)
For me @karen68 there is absolutely no doubt that this level has been tweeked, and is much much easier than before. I distinctly remember struggling for hours using exactly the same strat first time round, yet I scored over 100K this time within minutes of trying. If you look at the original write up that goes with the Nest video, it says “be forewarned, the helmet pig won’t go without a fight”! Now he practically commits suicide every time. So nothing to do with us being more seasoned. The guys at Rovio finally heard our pleas and tweeked the programming! Thanks Rovio :))
@karen68 – thank you for the tip on not accelerating the bird. It helped me to finally break 100k.
