Mine and Dine level 17-10 is a fun level to play around with different strategies. Our strategy is to fire the first Yellow bird into the foot of the top-left structure, causing it to topple leftward onto the jewels below. With the next Yellow bird, take out the stalactites above the bridge on the far-right. Be sure to hit them low enough so that the Yellow bird falls and triggers the TNT below. Place the Black bird into the top-central structure to clear any pigs there, but mostly for a path to the bottom. Lob the Yellow bird to trigger the TNT in the middle of the level. The score in the video below is 136,260.
Version 2022:
Lots of folks with over 150k… Anyone care to share?
152,700. First yellow bird blow up the dynamite and pigs on the right hand side, second yellow bird blow up the dynamite and pigs on the left hand side, black bird bring down all the top structures, one bird left over. When done all the jewels are gone and most of the structures are destroyed.
As Ian suggests, fire first yellow bird to hit the stalactites at right and blow up dynamite and pigs at right. If you get lucky this will take out ALL the dynamite and pigs on the lower levels. Then use the second yellow bird and maybe the black one to clean out the stuff up top. You could possibly finish the level with just the two yellow birds, but more likely you’ll need the black one to finish up and also do some destruction and generate some points.
@loox I do it just like the video except I lob the black bird like they lob the last bird (all the way down, knocking down support structures for the middle tower if need be). Hopefully all the pigs and dynamite will be gone by then. I got 160k twice like that.
@loox oh, and on the second shot, try to roll by the jewels. Maybe you’ll take out the last tower, too.
I hit 139k before watching the video, and now I have hopes to break 140k.
Use the first bird as shown, taking out the crystals and stuff bottom left. Your second bird would go up more than 45 degrees and hit it to come down on the corner of the middle structure through the left support of the big pig and into the bottom wood support of the right structure. This will cause a chain reaction all the way around, clockwise from 3 to 9. It’s a lucky shot, but it’ll hit at least 1 in 10, maybe more.
As I listed above except the top middle pig was left, and I used the black bird to clear that top middle all stone section for 149,380.
anyone have any hints on the eagle?
— Yellow Bird: Over the top, speed boost through the “bridge”. Ideally, you would like to take out the 3 TNTs on the far right of the level (a little luck could also take out the 4 in the bottom-middle).
— Yellow Bird: Through the bottom two wooden blocks on the top-left structure (the one right in front of the slingshot). The whole thing should tip left.
— Black Bird: Into the top-middle structure. Should clear a lot of the top half of the level.
— Yellow Bird: Into the 3 TNTs in the bottom-left of the level.
— Mighty Eagle: Location depends a lot on how/what you have destroyed, but as is, you should be around 95% even before throwing the sardine can. Use your discretion.
154,980; yellow bird into TNT in left tunnel. It blows all the tunnels clear including all jewels. Next yellow bird over the top and into the stalactites which fall and blow up right TNT stack plus damages right structure. Black bird into upper left wooden block of left structure which takes out remaining pig, leaving one bird spare and gives above score.
What’s driving me up the wall is trying to get 100% with the eagle. Just can’t get more than 99% :-(
Focus your Mighty Eagle to destroy the small stone balls. For whatever reason, across all apps, they have an incredibly high value in Total Destruction.
I used the same method for this level as u James I am trying to get over 150000.. wish me luck!,I’m nearly there with 142510!
How spooky is that!?!? I’ve been trying to get 100% for three days and the very next attempt after my post I did it :) :) :)
Just cleared the level as above and then managed to land sardine can just left of centre of pile of rubble that originally was the right hand structure (the very far right thingy I call the TNT stack I’m talking about the one with the little wooden hut on top).
Woohoo, now I can carry on with my life.
Until I get stuck again that is…
163570
Took a lot of tries to get over 143k where I seemed to be stuck at. Launched first bird at the dynamites bottom left, made sure that everything on the bottom was knocked out which gave me a score of over 67k. Second bird straight at the thick wood block. Black bird arched low into the space between the concrete blocks, this made it fall to the right and take out everything to the right. One bird remaining.
To add to this strat a nice little thing I noticed: when the first bird hits the TNT just right if your lucky one of the balls will fly up break the rope of TNT on right over gems and go in a circle following the arm thingy, it will continue on to break the bottom wood piece holding the TNT with the pig on far right and if you wait that will fall taking out that pig and the big pig on the wood above, this will give you upwards of 70k and wipe out the far right side leaving only the left and middle to clear! If you don’t mess the shot up (like I did :( ) you are sure to get very high score! Hope this helps and Gl.
157.930 then I give up
163 is sick, good work!
Cannot get anything to fall right :(
1. Yellow bird hit the stalactites and both fall to activate the tnt on the right side and the middle bottom area.
2. Yellow bird straight across to lower pig on big rock in front of sling. Structure falls and destroys all the gems below.
3. Black bird straight across into the stone structure to destroy the little pig under the little wood square block. Alternate location is to launch low to get the left side tnt.
4. Yellow bird can be a bonus big or can be used to hit the left side tnt for points or can get the little pig under the lttle wood square block. Debris points appears to be higher than 10,000.
This level was fun because there were a few options that depended on the results of the previous shot which caused the next shot to change.
I don’t remember this level being this hard, I can’t even get within 10k of my original score, I do remember that there were several different ways in which to accomplish the 3 stars, but that’s not what I need now, and raising the score above what it presently is will take a Herculean effort on my part. Well, here’s to high hopes.
@WereWolf69, maybe this will help you. I just gained 13K this way. First bird like the video, make sure you get the stones (that is easy for a girl :-) ). Second bird at the stalactites. I doesn’t matter if some of the TNT on the right doesn’t explode, because the third bird can do it all! Just a high lob to land on the pig in the swing. If he falls the right way the TNT in the middle will also activate the TNT on the right and take out the pig that was still on the middle rock. Well, good luck!
Thank you @josephine, I might just give that a try later on, right now I’m playing Pigini Beach on Facebook and throwing away money on lame PU’s.
Usually I am too late to add something original, so I was glad I could do something. I have restriced myself to playing only on the IPad(and not paying for PU’s:I’m Dutch…). It’s that or joining the Angry Birds Anonymous :-)
@josephine…thanks! I had the first 2 shots, but the 3rd eluded me. Your strat was (literally) the bomb!
@waimea, glad I could help!
@josephine…yup, helped me right into underdog! Thanks again. @AMslimfordy here’s the screen shot:http://angrybir.de/10ZHkCJ
@waimea, Enjoy! you deserve it!
@waimea – awesome! Congrats on your 4th doggie! :))
@karen68 – Thank you. I am in heady company indeed! @ANslimfordy – thanks slim!
Well done (again) @waimea. List has been updated.
Congrats @waimea! Guess you found some of those extra debris points.
@waimea, my most heartfelt congratulations on having achieved Underdog in today’s Challenge. The best thing about this doggie is that he doesn’t eat and you never have to walk him, just proudly display him on your Badge Bar.
@waimea, seeing werewolf’s message I realise you have a topscore (oeps should put on glasses before reading :-) ). Congratulations!
@WereWolf69@josephine….Thanks! Got help from both of you to make it all come together. (;
@josephine thank you for the excellent tip on the 3rd shot – what a difference it makes! I’ve been shooting at the stalactites with the 1st bird, right at the top of them, as I prefer to take out the far right tower with the 1st shot, then going for the front with the 2nd bird.
There is a really sweet 1st shot that has happened a few times – going for the stalactites, when the lowest right TNT goes it can sometimes cause all the TNT along the bottom to explode for a score of 95-100k. I’ve still needed two more birds to complete the level, but have scored 160k this way. I’ve only seen it a few times in hundreds of tries but it’s amazing to see.
@karen68, you’re welcome, I’am glad do to something back!I’ll try your first shot, but it is funny I have noticed that some strategies that work well for others, just don’t work for me, but who knows….
@josephine — Great strat, catapulted me past average in a few tries, and obviously lots of points left. I hope I am still above average at the end of the day.
@mvnla2 , it’s my pleasure, although :) I ‘ am happy it works!
Fantastic strategy – gained over 20k and now 6th on the challenge table and 15th overall!
Not bad for the first time I’ve attempted a challenge!
@andy Great, you almost beat me!
@josephine – nearly, however as the person who worked out the strategy you deserve the top honours!
Now 7th in the challenge table! Someone else has beaten us!
NUMBER 1!!!
I’ve tried to take a picture, as on Android I can’t do screenshots.
Sorry @waimea
WTG @andy2510 and waimea!
This is definitely the best high points strat! I went from the 130s to 162040, with consistent mid-150s.
@Andy, You did it! Congratulations!!
Do I need to contact an admin for the Underdog badge, or is it done automatically?
And thanks to @Josephine as it was her strategy I was following.
Well done @andy2510. I will work out the badge in a few minutes.
Thanks @AMslimfordy. Is this the first time there have been two underdogs won on the same challenge?
Maybe @Josephine should get a special badge for providing such a brilliant strategy, in which a lot of us vastly improved our scores. It’s well deserved.
Not the first time. Check out the notes on our list: http://tinyurl.com/ABN-Underdog
Thanks for the list – it’s a pretty common occurrence then.
Still chuffed at getting underdog on the first time I took part in the challenges – I can’t do them all as currently I am only at the “Year of the Dragon” set of levels on Seasons. Since starting playing in October last year I’m getting through the levels above average as best as I can, and have had much success with the walkthroughs and strategies that everyone here has posted – thanks everyone!
@josephine Just want to add my thanks for sharing the third shot, got me an extra 9K!
Thanks from me too @josephine. I used the same three shots as you described. I too like to send first YB at the left side first because if I didn’t get all the gems/crystals below then I reset. The second shot has various outcomes. On my third, I hit the supporting stone planks attached to the diagonal one on the way down or the top middle concrete section doesn’t always go. I got all of the gems and tnt’s but still only managed 158870 so far :-( Nice job to you and others on your scores ;-)))
@catsnbirds @angryadvisor, as a regular player at ABN I am just happy to share (I was surprised by the succes of this strategy) and I am glad it worked!
Agreed.Get the stone rod suspending that swing on the right side.
THX, @josephine!!
@emider, glad I could help!
Lot of luck involved in this level.
1. First bird took out the right structure. Clippedthe right edge of the little upper wooden structure on the right, down through the long wooden structure, and broken the bottom wooden beam….right side collapsed, but did not get the middle pigs to go.
2. Into the right side bottom TNT. Took out everything left on the bottom….clean.
3. Black bird into the left side of the left structure. Blew it up, threw debris that took out the stalagmites, and toppled the right stone structure….lot of luck on the third shot.
Clarifying….clean meaning nothing left but the stones. I don’t think you can break them all
Congrats on the new TOP SCORE @waimai! I know that was exciting to see it happen. I almost got 165k (approx)…but I got a bit trigger happy on the last bird and send him prematurely before the Bomb Bird had finished…that was painful when I realized it, but of course I couldn’t pull him back to the sling. hahahaha. Back to the level yet again. I did raise my score last night to the 155400k but going to the bottom TNT – then to Stalactites – Bomb Bird to the top left structure and had to use the last YB to go high and over and hit the far right structure with TNT. But using all 4 birds gave me 6k more than my original score so I am happy I brought my score up this time anyway.
Both @josephine and @underthegarden recommended the Bomb Bird high lob to the middle pig on the swing (if he is still there after the 2nd bird anyway). That is definitely a great strat to knock out more of the structures. Thanks to both of you for sharing!
Oops… Misspelled your name: @waimea. I should always copy and paste user names. LOL. Contrats on Underdog!
@GypsyBird…lol, I misspell it occasionally myself – and I live there! Thanks. Sometimes the three individual shots come together and make something beautiful. And congrats to @andy2510….good flinging. Still an hour left in the challenge – I may get you yet!
Thanks @waimea. Must had had just one extra block fall, very lucky in the end. Great flinging yourself.
I was try a few (20+) attempt.
1st, send to upper rignt Stalactites(?) (translate with google) and it drop down hit right TNT, and I see it blow up ALL TNT, get nearly 10k.
2nd, send to first pig, let him ‘collect’ jewel below.
3rd, send to second tower (last pig) to finish it.
4nd, 10k.
I see a comment same score with this.
i got 142K by firing first Chuck at a medium high lob, then triggering him to take out helmet pig and the right hand stack of tnt. this started a chain reaction taking out all but the pigs in the top left. two birds used.
I used 3 birds for this level.
The first yellow bird is used to topple the upper left structure on the jewels. All of the must be destroyed and almost nothing should remain on the left structure in order to achieve high scores.
At this point you should have around 35k
http://angrybir.de/11Fpv8t
The second bird is aimed at the stalactite. Most of the time the right tower will be completely destroyed after the TNT explosion.
http://angrybir.de/1a1PrmE
90k+ is necessary after the second shot (100k is possible).
The black bird is aimed high to fall between the 2 rock formations. It must topple the right structure on its way down and explode at the bottom (don’t need to trigger it).
http://angrybir.de/11FpMZ1
Hope it helps.
Slight score improvement with the same strategy.
Here is the result after the third bird.
And the highscore screenshot.
Absolutely agree. Best possible method. The black bird breaking the diagonal stone plank is key. One of THE BEST STAGES!!!
168020/3
many many thx to @asher for great strat. and picture
here my video:
https://youtu.be/q-ZnRsQOzLo
Had one of those lucky first shots that destroyed all TNT’s. Think it was 90k+ from that one shot.
