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!

  2. Ok so I have a question. Is it better to just bomb or to use pesticides on stewie? I just don’t know if I should keep all mypeople on bomb collection or pesticide collection. While at the same time trying to unlock Stan Lee. There is just so much going on in the game right now any suggestions would be awesome. As always love the site and the hard work you put into helping everybody. You guys rock!

  5. Has anyone noticed if the stewie minions blam drops are being consistently recorded in the overall total (the one that unlocks the various prizes). I have seen my current total accumulate the new addition of blam, but my overall total seems to not always show the new addition. I have about 10,000+ blam in my current total since getting Lois’ Red Hot costume. This doesn’t include the blam I spent for three buildings (the larping forest, the Internet cafe and stewie’s ink building (I cannot remember their exact names) I have bought since getting her), so I am assuming I should be close to 50,000 in my overall total, but my total is 43,000+. I know that sometime in the next day or two I will get the Q building unlock, I just want to make sure I am not losing blam to the ether.

    • Keep an eye on it. Sometimes the Blam! collects the second it pops out of item tapped or destroyed to the bottom, but takes a moment to register at the top. There are also times you may not see it add right away as there is a delay in the total sync…I usually give it a lil time and if I do not see it…I exit the game. Give it a few minutes. Then go back in to see if it caught up.

      If you feel you are still missing some, please contact them right away.

  6. Man before the quest I got 11 n now I can not get the ten ! Got 9 few times. I want the trophy really. In other news I got George today! Sure wish I didn’t buy the blam trucks if I known u can do it basically for free easily. Learn my lesson n I’m waiting in events for now on. They always make it easier as it goes. But Is there any point in still trying to collect blam? Got 50k to spend too. Think they’ll do anything w the extra blam ppl got? I def ain’t buying double of blam biuldings. Can’t fit anymore in my town. N I hope they do something w all these coins man. Almost feel like there pointless. 90 % is clams n they don’t come easily less u buy them. N wats the point of levels? Should get a clam atleast! Also face space was sweet n was a big part in getting me play n they havnt touched it since release. Shit was funny.

Gonna HAVE to pass on Nathan Fillion, but I’m only about 7,000 away from GT. Then its just a matter of bombing, zapping, and spraying stewies till the end. Hope there is something to spend my extra blam on, don’t need a whole field of hero tubes and spotlights….

  23. I see a lot of people saying the bombs don’t go to the corners. They do, once you’re in fire mode use your fingers to pinch and zoom in. Once zoomed in you can get in the corners. (The topmost left corner has a spot you can’t put in the vernier of the crosshairs, but the blast spreads out a lot so it’ll get into the corner itself with the cloud.)

    Hope this helps.
    Remember to use all the things in the game that you can do, like the zoom function.

  24. I’m getting very pissed off. I have over 20 times now tapped my little heart out corralling minion Stewies. I have to be safe tapped well past 10 because they run away super fast and the bomb won’t kill them. Each time I have not gotten credit for killing 10 or more. It only gives me a maximum of 8. Even though I count well over 10 inside the bomb radius. I’m about to take a bat to my phone. I’m being cheated.

    Like

    • Bunny’s other tip in the comments worked for me – hit them when they spawn. Assuming you’re not already at your maximum, remove your roads so there’s only a small section (2 or 3 road squares) up the top near comicon. Go away, and when you load up the game again a couple of hours later, IMMEDIATELY dismiss the Stan Lee popup and ready a bomb over the road. You should see all the new Minions appear in a puff of smoke – launch the bomb at them.

      This way I got 11 (to get the trophy) and 13 the next time I tried it. The coralling/tapping method I’ve never gotten more than 8.

      Thanks Bunny!

  29. I underestimated the Blam skew. I will have 100k in about 2 hours, with WEEKS left in the event(only the sommelier and Cranston purchased with clams). I would still be at around 83-85k if I didn’t purchase the sommelier. Cranston alone has earned me a solid 20k in less than a week. So a freemium player could EASILY be 130 clams richer AND 65k Blam at this point of the event. I predict Takei will be awarded to 85% of freemium players.
    Anyone who has spent clams should theoretically be guarenteed the 100k prize.

    As for multi-minion bombing? There is no need to dissect your town or create mazes. Just patience. Tap (stylus helps) and wait. Sometimes it may take 45 second for pathing, sometimes 6-7 minutes.

    I can’t wait to see what surprises they come up with in the forthcoming weeks. People are going to have 50k-75k extra Blam! at the end of this event, if not more. Would be a shame to see it wasted. I have about 35k and Ive bought all Blam! buildings and all character unlock Blam has been paid in full, in advance.

    Nathan Fillion would be a great 50k Blam pricetag.

        Like

      • I may have a suggestion that would make it easier. But it would need some “remodeling” of your town. Remove all the roads from your town. Now somewhere in the middle, place four pieces of road formed into a square. You then place buildings along the edges of the square that would form a “+” intersection with the road smack in the middle of the intersection. (Like a four- way intersection in your neighborhood) One other thing, it would be very helpful to place the GRIFFIN HOUSE as one of the buildings by the corner of the road. Make sure the buildings are adjacent to each other. Now force close your game and wait 10-15 mins. Log back in and press on the bomb aim button. As the griffin house is by the road, just adjust your aim to hover on the road and wait. After a few seconds, about the same time nerds appear from the center, you will see a bunch of smoke puff on the road. (They only seem to spawn on roads) Just drop a bomb when you see this. Don’t wait for the minions to actually be visible. Most of the time this would get you a 15. But sometimes they just start scattering as soon as they spawn, and that is why you have to place some buildings so that their direction could some what be controlled rather than scattering all over.

        I could get like more then 20 (15max after little update) with one bomb easily, the minions spawn directly on the streets and walk through the maze. Tapping them, if needed, in the mid of the maze. They still need like 6-10 seconds to get out of the bombiing radius, enough time to get them all.

I have already been in contact with them on this issue and am awaiting response. It may be a wording issue that is getting misinterpreted. The Nerds that come out DO have a chance at Clams…but that is right now…in the live event. The spawn…they WILL spawn…but only until the MAX the town allows is reached. I have seen them come out of mine when I clear them, but as soon as the max is hit…they stop again.

I’ve gained about 10k in just a couple days! 8 more notebooks and stan lee is mine 🙂 Also, when the pop-up with Nathan Fillion comes up, you can see next weeks Stewies form. I think it might be some sort of “flying demon”. Well once again thanks everyone for everything 😀

  50. the glitch where you tap and the screen shoots to a corner of the town is getting VERY annoying with this new addition. can’t tell you how many times i have had a dozen minions stunned and just before i click the bomb icon my screen will launch to the other side of the town 😦

    i have missed so many freaking opportunities this way. was only a minor thing before this mini-game but now it’s a MASSIVE ISSUE.

    hope they can figure it out and fix it cause i can’t seem to narrow down what is causing it.
