Our strategy for Mighty Hoax level 5-13 is to fire the first Black into the left side of the tallest structure. Land the next Black bird atop the mustachioed pig. The farther right he lands, the more likely the last pig pops. The score in the video below is 60,710.
Version 2022:
If you shoot the black bird into the ice pit, it blows up the left TNT. You also get more points for the ice damage.
Here’s my video
Used this for a 2 birder, in the first try! Thanks, E, for sharing all of your wonderful methods and tactics! :)
Same first shot, but I loop the 2nd bird next to the rightmost pig, more damage and 82630. Thanks for the strat.
Thank you @crazy-rider, the top scores are really to do with the second bird.
I landed it inside with the last pig and there was a tremendous blast to the left, clearing out much of the debris.
Thx for 74500 @e-star!
As usual E*, well done and thank you for sharing.
@e-star Thank you for the video and alternate strategy. Increased the score by 7k.
As an alternate, launched the first bb to the far right and took out the stone triangle. Second bird in the middle area. Obtained 67k.
I got about a 4k increase doing it this way. Oddly enough, on the PC version, at least, the black bird generally skips along the glass balls until it gets stopped at the stone “conning tower.” With a bit more angle, the black bird still has enough energy prior to detonation to break through the stone, into the interior of the “sub”-structure, (nice pun for an ex-Navy guy!) causing way more damage. Also, this still makes for a 2 bird strat.
@truckdriver & @doctonynyc, try landing Black between first and second glass orb from left. It won’t skip much this way and still able to detonate the TNT. Triggering manually upon impact with the orbs at a slightly higher arc might do the job as well… ;)
Great strategy, @estar. You make it look so easy! This is still tricky, as @truckdriver says, the BB skips along the top of the glass balls most of the time. It takes so practice to get the shot right, and then you have to hope there is enough destruction to get as close to the fruit as possible on the second shot.
@e-star, @crazy-rider, @jens, thank you guys for the amazing combo… :D
Furiating level, again. On my best score the first shot was still quite mediocer, maybe 35K when two of my best shots have been 40K and 44K. But when the first shot get big points the second shot fails to kill the last pig.
Whoa! After a few tries, I got 80.000+ using this method. Improved my score by 12K! Thanks E-Star!
You would think the ice would break a lot easier than it does…..
Got 82k =) do it like the vid.
But try to keep the farest one a live,
then use the white one do kil the last
was only trying to find a way to improve my previous best (79k, so should be doable i concluded) score by experimenting with the strategies described above, when suddenly had the current top score of 92k.
1st) into the pit (as in @e-star video), tnt exploded and gave good destruction of the left part. don’t know the score since i was not paying attention to it, only to that the sail of the submarine would be sent flying to the right destroying several glass balls (to allow for the 2nd to break through). that was the case here and the debris had ended up in two stacks one to the left of the food, the other on the right side of the stone slab covering the food (this is not infrequent).
2nd) through the stone slab covering the food (on the left, between the two stacks mentioned above, just next to the support). it reached the middle before exploding hugely. 82k destruction with 10k bonus for 92k.
was happy with the result but didn’t realize how good the score was until i checked here at abn. no idea whether this is repeatable.
The pigs prepared the level with doughnuts, bananas, and more. So why are they stealing the eggs when they can use the food they have?
I think they are trying to lose weight and want some lean proten
I got a fairly repeatable one bird lobbing over the tower just barely clearing it to land on the ice balls above the mustache pig. Sometimes the bird will break through and nestle beside mustache, but I’ve never gotten the far right pig this way. If the bird simply breaks the ice balls sometimes this will take out all the pigs, but there’s not enough debris to make up for the extra 10K so scores are disappointing.
On the @e-star method, I find it easier to lob the bird. I may give up a few points on the skipping, but the bird lands in exactly the right place nearly every time.
I have to lob the bird on the PC. It will skip all the way to the small tower if I don’t.
argh, needed to waste white bird for the last pig who was lucky and survived, I was near to get a 85k or so.
88812/2
Flat first bird to land on apex of stone planks, wait half a second (no more) and explode. The aim is to detonate TNT but mainly to throw as much stone to the right. It’s possible to get near to 40k after this shot and create access to the chamber of food described by @ vuelva. A high lob with bird two, especially if the first thing it hits on the way down is cracked stone, can achieve this frequently in Classics. I missed 92k by a whisker a couple of times so there’s definitely more to come, as @vuelva has already proved.
