Minion Stewie’s? Ohhhh Myyyyyy!

What the DEUCE??!! Why are there creepy crawly lil Stewie’s all over the town? AAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!

Minion Stewie 2

 

TinyCo has added yet ANOTHER fun element to the game. (One I am quite enjoying.) You thought spraying all that Pesticide on Giant Stewie wasn’t gonna have a side effect? Well, it sure did. I give you…MINION STEWIE’S!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I LOVE MINIONS!!! FYI…This one is here to stay for the ENTIRE Event too. 🙂

So let’s dive on in and breakdown the fun new element in our Quahog Comic Con Event.

How do I get them in my game?
You will need to have completed the tasks to Enfant Terrible (Part 6 is the last of it) in the Giant Stewie questline.

Enfant Terrible part 6 Corrected

 

 

Can I tap on them?
Nope. The only way to clear out these crazy lil Minions is to make them go KABOOOOOM!! Lol. You got to bomb them with Pesticide Bombs.

1Bomb

However, if you do decide to tap on them, you will get a funny lil dialog pop up.

Minion Dialog

 

 

How do I get Pesticide Bombs?
You can get Pesticide Bombs by sending Characters on various tasks in the game.

UPDATE 8-15 2PM EST: Due to confusion from players on Part 3 of “Bombs Away” with Blobulous, his two hour task to get Bombs will be disabled until Part 3 is completed. (People were sending Blobulous 2hr instead of Chris 4hr.) Then it will return.

NERDS NERDS NERDS NERDS!:
Bout time these lil Blue Guys did some work to help out. Now you will get Pesticide Bombs dropping along with their Blam! WOOHOO!

Blue NerdBlue NerdBlue NerdBlue NerdBlue NerdBlue Nerd

 

 

How do I drop the Pesticide Bombs?
Locate the Pesticide Bomb button in the lower right hand corner of your game.Bomb Icon

(This will only show once you complete the beginning tutorial part of him coming into the game. If you have completed it and still don’t see the Button, Force Close/Restart and reload the game and it should appear.)

Using your finger, drag the screen around until the target locks on to an area with the BIGGEST amount of Minion Stewie’s (I have a lil hint on the bottom of a few ways to corral them). You can zoom in and out all you want, just like you normally do on your device.

Screenshot_2014-08-14-19-26-15

 

Once you have your target, tap on the “Bombs Away” button and watch the fun unfold. WOOHOO!! KABOOOOOM!!! The gas will disperse and destroy all the Minions within its range. (Again, hit those areas with the most clustered together.) If you are lucky, the Minions will not have crawled away too fast and are consumed in the fog. That or more may wander in. Essentially, all those within the circular gas cloud BEFORE it dissipates will be destroyed. They will try to run out, some will make it.

What is the Payout on the Minion Stewie’s?
Now for the goodies. These lil Minions are stuffed full of all sorts of prizes for you to collect. You will see a mix of the following items to collect. As usual, some items have a rarer rate so may not show as often. (They will drop at their set rates. Rare, Extra Rare, etc.)

BlamBlam! (15 0r 25)

Classic Book 2Classic Books

Movie CameraMovie Cameras

Ice Cream SundaeIce Cream Sundaes

ClamClam (yes…I said CLAMS!)

 

What is the Spawn Rate of the Minion Stewie’s?
They will arrive every 10 minutes until you hit YOUR max. (Between 20-40)

Latcher Stewie

What is the MAX amount of Minion Stewie’s?
Now this part will vary on where YOU are in the game.

<District 4: Max of 20 in your Quahog
District 4 Unlocked: Max of 24
District 5 Unlocked: Max of 28
District 6 Unlocked: Max of 32
District 7 Unlocked: Max of 36
District 8 Unlocked: Max of 40

So as you can clearly see, this new line of Minion Stewie’s will add even MORE Blam! earning potential, material drops, and so much…MORE!!

(Had to add this cuz it made me giggle)

Page 4 Quahog Comic Con

Now for my own personal EBIL (YES…a B!! Cuz I’m beyond evil)!!!

I’m having a blast and giggling so hard at this new incarnation. I just want to do nothing but Bomb lil Minion Stewie’s all day. Lol. I can’t get Bombs fast enough. Their lil dialog when you tap them while they run…hilarious. I just can’t get enough of it. Game of Cat & Mouse. Just…SO FUN!! The fact they also stop and squirt ink at you too. I am quite enjoying this.

Speaking of, here’s my lil “tricks”. Find a group of them right by each other…and tap. Make them ink you. Don’t stop. As another speeds by…do the same. Add them to the tapping group. Keep this up a bit til you have a good group stopped and inking you…then…KABOOOOM! Hit that Bomb button and Bombs Away as fast as you can. It helped me to get a decent amount at once. (At least 5 or 6.)

I have also noticed they like to walk in a line, so I have taken my town apart and created nice lil rows…kinda like a farm. I put these so they run right to the edge of available land. What this creates is it makes them all come walking down the rown, then they bottleneck and literally walk the edge of the land. Allowing me to Bomb them and hit several at a time. Coupled with my tip above, I am getting a lot with one Bomb. I am still tweaking the width of the lines seeing just how close to put the houses and buildings, but it is fun to play around with. (p.s. They DO disappear just inside the foggy areas if you have any. All you see is a lil head grazing the edge of it. Lol.)

There you go. The more detailed run down of the new Minion Stewie incarnations that are overtaking our towns. This should really help to boost that Blam! count even higher for you. Now, the question is…what do YOU think of them? Love them? Hate them? Driving you nuts? Tell us how you REALLY feel. Lol. Let me know also if my tips help you out or if you have a few of your own.

  7. I almost think Tinyco is trying to make it easy to collect the necessary 100,000 blam so in the long run the whole week early launch for Apple becomes a total wash. If you can’t get the 1000,000 with all the scoring opportunities being presented then you probably aren’t really trying that hard. They can basically afford to give away Takei in exchange for the loot they will make selling Cranston & probably Fillion.

You cant block it off fully otherwise they go over it but aslong as there is a exit they seem to follow through the walls. Bomb the middle and you get 10 everytime they respawn as they are following through the walls and cant escape by the time the fog dissapears

In less than 24 hours, I have managed to finish the timed quest, get more than 10k blam and collected majority of the 2 items needed for stan that drop from bombing stewie. I don’t think TC was planning on making it this easy for players to collect items and give a huge boost to blam collection at the same time. Specially with more than 24 days to go.

  29. It helps to make sure you line up your shot before you start tapping on your minion collection…saved about 16 of my bombs last night while Stan was crawling out of his caccoon (still got halfway to the Trike) then woke up early and had the Trike by 6am without ever even coming close to running out of bombs, they seem to appear as fast or faster than the minions…minions, yes it’s surprisingly easy to clear your streets when you’re hitting groups of 7-10 at a time…also when you are starting your group you can tap on the minions running away from your spot and they are likely to change direction you may have to try it a couple of times before they head in the right direction, but this really helps when your minion supply starts to run thin. And remember, tap swiftly! Not seeing a huge drop rate for Stans stuff from the minions, but loving this new update.

  39. A little suggestion to make grouping stewies easier. I don’t know if someone has posted this already. This would ruin the aesthetic look of your town. Stack your buildings as close to each other as possible and try to leave as little green patch as possible in between buildings (This is where all those debris buildings, skateboard parks, yachts, fireworks and lincoln memorials that came from those boxes become useful) While stacking your buildings, leave a moderate amount of STRAIGHT green land that goes from one edge of the screen to the other. Do it both horizontally and vertically. Leaving you with a + like intersection. As the stewies mainly walk through the open land (though they walk through the edges of town and in between buildings at times, it doesn’t happen often), majority tend to pass through the intersection. With the trick of tapping on the stewies to have them stay in place, you could have several on the intersection easily. I average 6-10 stewies a bomb.

    My best strategy I’ve found is on an L shaped street and once I see 3 or 4 there I tap on them til several others come along, and because I don’t have buildings in the way I see more coming and that’s when I bomb. Works every time.

    It’s awesome how much great stuff you get from these little guys.

I think TinyCo knew it would drive us a little crazy that the minions run away at exactly the same speed that the pesticide cloud spreads at lol. So I can tap 5 or 6 but by the time the bomb is away a few of them are juuuuuust escaping! I do like that they drop stuff to unlock the cameo master, I’ve gotten a bunch of stuff already. However after I unlock the car any Stan I think I will be going back to pesticide stocking and hitting the big guy! Just my thought, and keep up the awesome work! =)
