Maelstrom is the eighth level of Limestone Lagoon in Angry Birds Epic. It is a normal stage. When this level is finished, the player may spin for 1 Treasure. (3 Water if replaying) This level is where the powerful Poseidon Pig awaits. To gain access to this secret level, Northern Sea - 3 must been cleared first. The player can then gain access to the level by tapping the whirlpool just in-between Limestone Lagoon - 1 (above Cornucopia Woods) and Limestone Lagoon - 6 (next to Pirate Coast - 1). This pig is so powerful, only pigs in the later caves of the Chronicle Cave will have similar stats.

These spooky pigs are Undead. They revive after being knocked out as long as there is a pig standing!

  • As Mage, constantly give each bird the Shock Shield.
  • As Thunderbird, give all birds the Rage of Thunder and then attack. Refresh the skill when it wears off.
  • Only attack with Chuck if he is wearing the Thunderbird class. This will also allow Poseidon Pig to take more damage.
  • Always ensure that each bird has Glee activated on it. Do not use The Blues to attack.

???

Lightning Bird + Sea Dog + Skulkers At least level 39/40
  • Use the Golden Rage Chili on the Blues at the start in order give more time to prepare the strategy. If you used Gang Up on The Blues and then used Lightning Fast on them before using the Golden Rage Chili, the damage from using the Rage Chili on Poseidon Pig will be much more severe.
  • Use Gang Up on either Bomb himself or The Blues, depending on who you want to use Lightning Fast and Tricksy Trick on. This allow Bomb to attack twice.
  • Once Poseidon Pig has recovered from the stun cause by the Blues via the Golden Rage Chili, use Tricksy Trick on Bomb (if you used Gang Up on himself) or just attack with The Blues (if you used Gang Up on The Blues)
  • Always use Lightning Fast on either Bomb or The Blues (depending on who has Gang Up active on). It will allow Bomb to hit Poseidon Pig up to 3 times.
  • When Poseidon Pig attacks, use healing potions on whoever was attacked. This is especially for those in the lower levels or if Bomb was attacked. Higher leveled teams, especially those who uses set items and whose Bombs were not attacked could choose not to give any potions.
  • Always use the Rage Chili on The Blues when it is full.
  • Having at least level 40 classes and elite version is very helpful here. (Allows more damage to be dealt to Poseidon Pig and enables the birds to take more hits)
  • Having strong healing potions is a good idea. (especially fruit cakes or potions that can heal for at least 810)
  • Set equipment are strongly advised here.
  • Golden Rage Chili is a must.
  • With class upgrades, legendaries, and at minimum level: ???
  • With class upgrades, legendaries, and at maximum level: ???

  • Force Poseidon Pig to attack Red using Cupcake Trap and Royal Order.
  • For lower leveled bird teams, use Protect on Red himself. Do this every time Protect wears off. For higher leveled bird teams, attack with red constantly.
  • Attack with The Blues every turn unless Cupcake Trap has worn off from Red. In this case, renew the effect on Red.
  • Heal Red with Royal Aid.

Trivia[]

  • If Poseidon Pig takes damage as it attacks and the damage is what finishes it off, an animation error will play: Instead of just becoming flat and then a puff of smoke, Poseidon Pig will also do its respawning animation.
  • In the old versions, you would fight the Poseidon Pig on the ship, in newer versions you fight him in the submarine. Along with this, the animation for the ship going down the whirlpool was changed to the submarine once again for obvious reasons.
  • This level was originally called Limestone Lagoon - 6.
  • It is the first and only secret level in the entire game.
