Currently I think this may be the most difficult level to get a feather on. It MAY have been altered in some way after the 1.6+ update making it extra hard to achieve. I say this because after this update is when we started getting a large number of requests for this previously never-requested level. A lot of debris flies of the screen, so do your best to keep everything contained and in a single pile. This one may take you a really long time (hours, even days) but it is possible. Good Luck.
Have a different method for achieving Total Destruction? Let us know below.
man! you know what i hate about this level?All 3 stars in PE andMH and all feathersEXCEPT THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!! MAN, I DIED FOR A FEATER IN THIS LEVEL. THEN I NEVER HAVE TO PLAY POACHED EGGS EVER AGAIN!!!!!(and this means also this stupid darn level)
Thanks Chris for your advice. After 2 days of trying to clear this level, I had my feather in less than 10 minutes with your method. Awesome!
Alternate method: After breaking glass with first two birds, dive bomb the wooden structure with the next 2 birds before sending bomber to lower outside corner. This will encourage structure to collapse inward. When you send in the sardines to the small pile left it will create TOTAL DESTRUCTION!!
You’re right – good method. Got my feather – thank you. :-)
I am convinced my version of this is either broken, or they have engineered it to cheat. There appears to be no rhyme or reason as to why I get any given percentage, as I’ve had much fewer blocks than previous turns but still receive significantly lower scores. In the last effort (which brought me here) I cleared off literally the ENTIRE level–not a single anything remained–and I still got 95%. My highest is currently 99%–a score rewarded to me when I knocked out all but 2 bricks.
Any advice? I actually have screenshots of the clear screen and resulting score if anyone is interested.
It is not broken or “cheating”. It is just difficult.
And when you cleared every block from the screen, it is very possible that you threw blocks out of the view of the screen
I have been watching very carefully and none that I saw flew off of the screen. Not to mention, blocks that fly off should no longer be counted. But even if they were, it wouldn’t matter because I assure you, no blocks had left the screen.
I understand difficult–that’s one thing. Inconsistency like this is something more than difficulty because it is unpredictable, and there is no way to understand for certain how to beat it.
There is no rhyme or reason to this level. I have totally destroyed the site but only got 99%. But on other levels can leave blocks and bits of wood and get the feather. Wouldn’t mind but this PE 2-12 gave me loads of grief getting 3stars. Just want to get out of here!
And there you go. Very next try after posting this I achieved the 100%! So it can be done!
Oh my God yes, the Chris method is the way to go, spent a week on and off, them BOOM took a few tries, but nailed it!
completely destroyed everything (twice) and only got 99%! BOGUS!
Keep trying.
it’s not an easy one sinister, sometimes blocks are pushed out to the sides without being destroyed and don’t count towards the total destruction. Keep at it!
Talked to a computer programmer . Said if screen is clear & get less than 100% things flew off screen & didn’t break.Your video is correct & helped a lot .
Quite right. The code doesn’t care what appears on-screen. As far as the coding is concerned, the screen keeps going a long time further.
I think the code is based on how many damage pts were accumulated.
I am with Rcast1986 on this one.
I have been using this method as well, watching very carefully that nothing leaves the screen.
The best I can get is 98% with two of the small concrete blocks left behind.
There is no consistency with this particular level for what ever reason it is.
I have now completely given up on this particular level as it is not going to give me the 100% total destruction.
You’re choice, but it is possible.
Yay, all feathers on Poached Eggs!
Thenk goodness I finally read page 1 and found Chris’ method. After days of angst, second try using the Chris strategy brought joy. If you don’t break the middle beams with the first bomber just send in a second one. It still gives feather. This level has been hardest yet.
Without a doubt. Even WITH Chris’ and Travis’ method from page 1, it still took about 20 attempts to get it right. All told, I spent approximately 7.5 hrs on it. A long time, but some admit to having spent DAYS on it. Glad it didn’t take me quite that long, as I’m sure my iPad would have taken some serious abuse.
Upon reflection, I think it behooves me to describe my melding of the strats of Chris and Travis from page 1 of the comments, so here goes:
1. Use both blue birds to destroy as much glass as possible.
2. Use first yellow to open the roof between the two walls of the structure.
3. Use second and third yellow to chip away at as much wood as possible, making sure I hit only the wood.
4. Use black bird to topple left wall of structure. This is where Travis’ method comes in. Fling the black bird on a fairly low, but even trajectory, then, when you’re within say a 1/4″ of the wall, manually detonate black. The goal is to get the left wall to topple over cleanly, while remaining relatively intact. This will leave both structures perpendicular to each other with a small niche near the point where their axes would intersect. This is where you want to get the sardine can to land, then the ME should do the rest, thereby earning you the feather for this level.
Good luck…
One final note, as I see I forgot to mention that after having detonated the black bird, you need to switch to the ME as quick as possible, since toppling the wall pops the second pig, and you want to get the ME running before the program tries to end the level.
Thank you!@TruckDriver for me the key was detonating bomb bird 1/4 inch before hitting the left wall I lobbed it as close to the ground as I could… TOTAL DESTRUCTION! Honestly I had been trying for days and after reading your strat, it only took like 3 or 4 tries! Thank you thank you!!!!! :-)
THANK YOU @CHRIS!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!
Definitely Chris method is the best, done it in 15 minutes with two blocks left in the left column. You should advice it on top for new users because is so much easier than the video solution
I did it!!! This took days if not weeks!!! Thanks for the great help.
Can we have videos for the alternative strategies? Like everyone else here, I’m struggling with this level and would like visual tutorials for cracking it. I want to see where to put everything – the birds and the sardine can – so I can get that feather!
Very few people are capable of recording videos. I would suggest reading the strategies posted in the comments, along with analyzing our existing walkthrough.
I only saw your reply today. Thank you for it. I’m happy to tell you I got the feather for this level today. In fact, I’ve now got feathers for all the levels in Poached Eggs! I hope to tackle the other episodes later.
I was hoping for something new here but I’ve been doing exactly the same thing. I heard a long time ago that if one vents frustration here, it can turn one’s luck around. So, here goes. Hate it, hate it, hate it; out, out damned spot (uh block.). K, universe, can I have a feather now?
Years later I thank @Travis for seeing the obvious solution! this was a tough one!
Legitimately the worst level thus far to Eagle. Every time I reset, Mighty’s depiction being a washed-out former celebrity still riding the high of his fame in the movie duology makes more and more sense.
