Angry Birds Ham ‘Em High 3 Star Walkthrough Level 12-9

One strategy for Ham ’em High level 12-9 is to fire Big Brother through the horizontal wooden plank above the first pig. Fire the first Black bird along a similar trajectory, blasting the left side of the second-tallest tower. Launch the last Black bird a little lower, under the overhanging plank and into the base of the tall tower. The score in the video below is 95,250.

Any Idea how to get the Treasure chest in this level?

I think you have to use the Mighty Eagle, but maybe someone else has got it with a lucky shot. Anyone?

By Beryln

I have opened it 3 times. You just get a bomb bird right up next to the cave wall. But it opens and nothing happens. But i didn’t complete the games in which the chest opened though. So maybe you have to do that as well.

Still stuck at 93k points (2 stars) on this evil level

Hey! I just wanted to say that I have been using your walkthroughs for awhile now. Thanks for doing this! We appreciate it!

I have three stars on all of the new levels except for this one! I also managed to open to the chest with a bomb bird, but I didn’t beat the level that time!

there are golden eggs w treasure chests on them, wondered if you had to get all the treasure chests in the game to access those?

Hi all,
i have gotten the 3 stars on Ham `em high all 15 levels but my stars is showing 45/135.
i have the golden egg on this level and the star for the egg. I have no idea why my star score isnt at 135. If any one can help i will be verry happy. Thx in advance;)

By Tamsin

Because there are more episodes to come. 3×15=45

By AT

You finished 15 levels with 3 stars each, for 45 stars. You need to wait for the other two coming soon levels to be released to finish all the 135 stars

i got the chest today… The trick is to launch the big red bird, as high and far as possible (around 45 degrees) then throw the bomb so that it lands on the red bird, bounces into the wall and manually explode it.

By Klorn

Was stuck at 94100 for the longest time, just used both methods above, both worked but only got me up to 97000, fine tuned my use of method 1 and got up to 101,920! Didn’t bother with the treasure chest, don’t see the point in it.

By SFAnnie

Will you need to have opened it at some point down the road? Someone on this thread said you have to open it to qualify for some treasure chest egg or something. True?

No, I don’t think it’s required for any reason. Their is a Golden Egg hidden in another treasure chest on level 1-8.

By SFAnnie

AAAAAAAAARGGHHH! Tried bouncing the bomb bird off the red bird, and then exploding it on the cave wall. The most I can get out of that doggone treasure box is for it to jump around a little. Can’t open or explode it! :-( Frustrated…..

From what we’ve found the chest doesn’t do anything. You can only destroy it with the mighty eagle (iOS only).

If you have an iOS device, you make an in app purchase. If not, you’re out of luck at the moment. And unfortunately, we have no estimated dates on when other devices will see the mighty eagle.

By lesley

I was able to destroy the treasure chest using a bomb bird against the wall. I was lucky enough to land it on top of a piece of wood or the red bird to raise it up high enough to destroy the chest. Nothing happened though and no hidden egg. Prior to that, all my attempts just moved the chest around.

By John

The trick to getting the chest is to bounce a bomb bird off the red one and hit the wall.

By Moose

I was able to destroy the chest, but no egg came out.

The video’s method worked best for me. Somehow, the tower broke down on the second shot, leaving the pig nearest to the inner most TNT intact. The third bird took care of that and cleared out even more debris.

This is a good strat, I managed to get the 2nd shot all the way down to rest on top of bottom right TNT, did it in 2 birds but didn’t get enough collateral destuction to even get 3 stars. I have no idea how I got my existing score, I can barely get 3 stars today.
Another tough one!

So the ideal score after the first bird is ~8k?? I have gotten quite a bit more, but it blocked that second shot from getting deep enough into the structure. So far stuck at 98k (five fimes) today. Will keep flingin!

I struggled sooo hard on this level, stuck at 94,580, my frustration only matched by Mighty Hoax 5-16 (platforms + stones + bomb birds), until I managed a rather shoddy attempt at using the strategy in the video, + so finally got my 3 stars. I can’t express just how much I appreciate these videos + how many hours of sitting in corners muttering + sighing that they’ve saved me – thank-you!!

It is very difficult to get anything over 101K using the video strat. The key to getting higher scores is a two bird strategy. I found one that worked occasionally. Aim a bit higher in the video…at the top left corner of the support column between the leftmost pig and the two farther right. You will occasionally get enough destruction to allow you to place the bomb bird well into the structure…like against the second-from-right support column. So far I have managed to get just under 104K, but I think most of the higher scorers have used this strategy.

By to mock a mockingbird (@vuelva)

117120/1. another level that has become much easier (in V5.* ;up from a mediocre 106k/2 into which i had put a lot of effort). a (precise) shot onto the top-left corner of the `4th column from the left’ (i.e. `the 3rd column from the right’) can make terrence slice through and to finally take out some wood supporting the last column, leading to 1-bird total destruction. in the case of this score, i didn’t get the bottom-right tnt, so more in it (120k).

@vuelva, I only tried a few times, did not get a 1-birder, but easily managed to up my 2-bird score by 1k to 107k. I will add it to the list:

118540 with 2 birds. Revisited.

Easier indeed. The first bird is as described by @vuelva.
Here is the trajectory before impact.

I have had a few one birders but nothing above 107k (87k + 2 birds left).
However when you have a good situation like this after the first bird, you can fling Bomb low to roll on the wood planks before manually detonating.

Here is the trajectory and result for my best score.

And the highscore screenshot.

Hope it helps.

I scored 119,600 points using only one bird. I sent the first/only bird slightly higher than in the video. Everything came tumbling down, almost like slow motion. The TNT, directly above the uppermost pig, fell nearly to the ground, causing the majority of the damage.

The trajectory of the shot & the leftover debris can be seen in my screenshot.
