Friday Night Update: Stewie Box! Bombs Away! (Updated and Complete)

Update 8/16: Appears that the Kindle update has finally hit.  So all of our Kindle friends check your app store and finally start getting those Minions! 🙂

Hello There Clammers!

Another Friday night update is upon us!  And just like many of us predicted….we now have a Stewie Box!  For 180 Clams you can get unique prizes, Clams, Batteries & Bombs from the Stewie Box!

More details on the way my friends…

Bologna building- We’re investigating what it’s for at the moment.  My guess is it’s a mistake and wasn’t supposed to be released just yet.  It’s a texture glitch and supposed to be ham for Blobulous.  TC is working on fixing it at the moment.

As far as the bombing training…yes you can earn free clam(!) for bombing Minion Stewies in groups….Peter starts this questline.

bomber trophy

There is a new building in the game for dropping Ham for Blobulous.  For 100 Clams you can get the Guts and Glory Butcher Shop and it will always drop Ham.  2014-08-16 14.55.08

Next up Stewie Mystery Box!

2014-08-16 00.53.45

For 180 Clams you can purchase the new Robo Stewie Mystery Box..
Robo Stewie Mystery Box

 

This box runs much like the Robo Brian box..in that all the decorations and buildings are unique…no duplicates can be won in the box!   Here’s what’s inside:

Stewie Box 7 Stewie Box 6 Stewie Box 5 Stewie Box 4 Stewie Box 3 Stewie Box 2 Stewie Box 1

 

We were also given a new questline to attack minion Stewies…Bombardier Training.

This awards clams for completing various bombing tasks for clearing Stewies!

The training is 6 parts and each part awards clams.  Basically you have to bomb groups of Minion Stewies that Peter is requesting.  A the end you’ll win a Bomber Peter Gold Trophy!  Here’s the break down:

Part 1- 2 Minion Stewies with 1 Bomb Drop
Rewards 2 clams

Part 2- 3 Minion Stewies with 1 Bomb Drop
Rewards 3 Clams

Part 3- 4 Minion Stewies with 1 Bomb Drop
Rewards 4 Clams

Part 4- 6 Minion Stewies with 1 Bomb Drop
Rewards 6 Clams

Part 5- 8 Minion Stewies with 1 Bomb Drop
Rewards 8 Clams

Part 6- 10 Minion Stewies with 1 Bomb Drop
Rewards 10 Clams AND Trophy

To claim your Trophy it’ll go into your inventory.  Here’s how it’ll appear…

When the challenge is completed this will pop up:

2014-08-16 13.52.59

The Trophy will appear in your inventory, so to get to it tap in the 4 way arrows (next to the menu) and scroll through your inventory until you see it:

2014-08-16 13.53.27

Then you can just tap on it and place it in your town 🙂

2014-08-16 13.54.03

Have YOU claimed your Bombing Stewie Trophy yet?  What’s your minion record?  Will you be spending clams on the Stewie Box?  How’s your Blam! count?  Sound off in the comments below, you know we LOVE hearing from you!

  1. This really has been fun. 14 minions is my best so far. I think it’s time to make a new Blam! Poll. I’d like to get a feel for where I’m at with everyone else. I found the previous poll helped a lot.

  2. How am I able to bomb stewies? I haven’t had any mission or anything new to let me be able to play this bombing madness. I did the update last night and so did my boyfriend and he showed me that he can now bomb stewie minions. I want to play and bomb them too!! Do I have to compete a certain mission or what? Please help!!! 😦

    You can tap the minions and they will freeze in place for a couple of seconds. Find a small cluster of 2 or 3 in an area . Keep tapping them until more wander into the area and then tap the as well. Keep it up until you have your ten. I got my count up to 13 this way. just keep trying this to rack up the blam and the unlock prizes for Stan Lee, since they drop his items too. now up to almost 84K Blam! should have the factory right after my giant Stewie countdown gets to zero(got lots of pesticides stock piled for him)

      • Remember these are here to stay. If anything…let them pile up. In other words…stop bombing for a while and let them build up to your max. More in your town…more chance to get them. Some have even gone so far as remove all roads but one section as that is where they spawn. Then…leave the game after clearing them all or almost all and stay away for a few hours. When you return…all the built up ones should spawn at once by that road. So you immediately bomb that spot when you return to clear a bunch at a time.

        It has worked for some that way too.

        • I already removed all roads but for one very crowded section full of characters, nerds and bulls. I didn’t notice that was where the Stewies were spawning from though. I’ll try that out – thanks!

  4. Really need help getting 10 minions at once. I understand people have been making mazes and farms and setting things up in lines etc but I feel my own attempts have been a spectacular failure.

  5. I got 16 little stinkers (sorry – inkers) wit one hit. Thanks to the Bunny’s advice!
    I tried to round them up with buildings and fences – they just pass without any problems – trick did not work.
    1. Pick the intersection without any big buildings or characters near by.
    2. Important – make sure this intersection is right in the middle of the screen – in this case target goes exactly in the middle when you push the missile icon, saving little bit of time.
    3. Now Bunny’s advise – as soon as creature enters the intersection tap on him. He will squirt ink, display the message and stay in the same spot. Hold as many as possible (you will have to tap like crazy). Once you reach at least 10 – wait for a few more coming to the same intersection. If you hold just 10 – big chance that couple of them will manage to escape. Once you see more of them coming – push the missile and bomb them right away – they usually keeps moving the same direction, in this case – straight in to the trap. Have fun!

  8. Had trouble until I saw they spawned on streets only. Dumped all my streets but a tiny little 2×2. As with the nerds, when you log in the game takes like 10s or so to populate them into the game so aim your crosshair over the section of street, wait a few seconds then drop the bomb even if there’s none up yet. They’ll spawn into the fog and die. I just got 15 easily this way. With District 8 open you can have a max of 40 minions and they spawn every 10m so just walk away from the game for 4-6 hours to max the potential spawns and boom.

  9. For any one that needs to get 10 or more just zoom in and tap on the minion stewie a. They stay still for about 5 seconds after tapping them and you can easily get them to be grouped together. 10 is around the lowest you’ll get if you do this but it does take several minutes to set up

  10. Minions walk through fences and bushes so don’t waste the time. I killed 13 at once for the highest and what you do is find a group and tap on them. lil Stewie will stop in his tracks and shoot ink at you. Keep doing that until you trap a bunch (ie wait for other minions to walk into the group and tap it. Must tap all so they don’t move. Hope that makes sense.)

I’d also like to say Bunny was spot on at the start of this event when she told us all over and over not to fear the 100,000 and to KEEP CALM AND KEEP COLLECTING. The increase in blam over the event has been just as she promised. Theres so much dropping now i think we need a blam leader board 😱😱😱

      Im glad i got George with 3 weeks to spare but now no big goal left. There are the last few characters but currently at 40k blam in the bank with nothing to buy. So unless they real ease a bunch of new items will end up with a bunch of unused energy drinks. I am hoping they do what they did with King Butt. Im still gonna work to get all the Blam i can just in case.

      I then waited until 7 ended up in the area I was going to shoot at. I kept clicking on them to make them pause and squirt ink. About 40 seconds later here came 6 more, kept doing it, just click, click, click and then hit the launcher, it came up and I sent the bomb and then boom went the dynamite and nailed 13 in one shot. I thought it would be extremely difficulty but it wasn’t.

    • To bomb multi minions I wait at a 4 way intersection and once a minion is in the intersection tap it (this makes it stop and blab something) Keep tapping them as they enter the intersection and once You have a bunch and see others traveling toward the intersection quickly unload a bomb on thier fruit loop dingus butts!

    • I know that this event takes up a lot of memory. My only other thoughts are to try some outside troubleshooting. Make sure you have all other apps that could be running in the background closed down. Make sure you are on a strong WiFI signal to support the game. Make sure the app has plenty of Memory space left open to run on.

      Other than that and what you have already tried…TinyCo would be the next step. Sorry.

    • Have you contacted them to let them know what it does for you?

      The screen jumping that I discussed with them they have NOT been able to replicate, therefor they have no way of finding a fix. Matt actually reached out to the community in the post as well as the comments that if anyone can give them a detail description on how to recreate the issues…they would love to know so they can see it happen themselves and resolve it.

      This is why communication with them is so important. If no one explains the issue they are having, and they can’t replicate it, it is impossible to repair as the player is the ONLY one seeing it. Does that make sense?

      • I find it very difficult to believe that they can’t replicate this… It happens to me and EVERYONE I know ALL the time!!! Do they even do any QA??

        • Well…a MILLION players is a great place to test something vs you and your 10 co workers. MORE results. MORE of a mix of devices from old to new. It is most definitely a great way to get feedback. Not to mention the styles of playing and the differences in devices themselves. Games act different to a players touch vs whether or not there is a screen protector vs what the settings are on the touch screen…on n on n on.

          So what may seem normal to one player that they see daily may be completely foreign to another. 😉
