Gaming

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 features 33 trophies including 1 platinum, 4 gold, 14 silver, and 14 bronze trophies that require approximately 65-85 hours to complete. The platinum trophy demands completing both THPS3 and THPS4 tours with all characters, earning gold medals in competitions, finishing 197 challenges, collecting all stat points, and achieving a 10 million point score without assist mods. Unlike THPS 1+2, there’s no level 100 requirement, making this platinum more skill-based than grind-focused.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Trophy Journey

After spending over 60 hours earning every trophy in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, I can confidently say this platinum strikes the perfect balance between nostalgia and challenge. The trophy list respects your time while still demanding mastery of the game’s mechanics. Whether you’re a returning fan or discovering these classics for the first time, the journey to platinum feels rewarding rather than repetitive.

Trophy Breakdown	Count
Platinum	1
Gold	4
Silver	14
Bronze	14
Total	33
Hidden Trophies	14

The most time-consuming aspect isn’t a mindless grind but rather the Flying Solo trophy, which asks you to complete the entire game with all 35 skaters. While this sounds daunting, it actually encourages you to experience each character’s unique style and special tricks. During these multiple playthroughs, you’ll naturally work toward cumulative trophies like:

Landing 500 grinds (It’s Not Too Grindy)
Scaring 120 bird clusters (Fine Feathered Friends)
Destroying 500 objects (Chaos Reigns)
Performing 100 wall combos (Wall to Wall)

Your Roadmap to Platinum Success

Phase 1: Foundation (15-20 hours)

Start with the two main tour completions – 3rd Time’s the Charm and Thanks 4 the Memories. These gold trophies require earning gold medals in all six competitions and completing every goal across the 11 main levels. This phase helps you:

Relearn each level’s layout
Build muscle memory for combos
Unlock Pro Goals and additional content
Earn currency for the Secret Shop

Phase 2: The Long Grind (35-40 hours)

Once you’ve conquered both tours, Solo Tour mode becomes your primary focus. The Flying Solo trophy requires completing all 35 individual skater tours. I found it best to:

Tackle 3-4 skaters per gaming session
Mix fan favorites with lesser-known pros
Use faster skaters for navigation-heavy levels
Save favorite skaters for motivation during tough stretches

Phase 3: Challenge Mastery (10-15 hours)

The 197 total challenges spread across five categories:

Trick Challenges (29) – Learn advanced mechanics
Skater Challenges (36) – Character-specific objectives
THPS3 Challenges (31) – Classic goals reimagined
THPS4 Challenges (34) – Complex multi-part objectives
Expert Challenges (67) – Ultimate skill tests

Phase 4: Cleanup (5-10 hours)

Mop up any remaining miscellaneous trophies and work on skill-based achievements like Unprecedented.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Platinum Trophy

I am the Pro Skater now

Type: Platinum
Requirement: Collect all other trophies
Rarity: Ultra Rare (2-3%)

This ultimate achievement represents mastery of two legendary games. After earning all 32 other trophies, this platinum serves as proof that you’ve conquered every challenge THPS 3+4 has to offer.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Gold Trophies

3rd Time’s the Charm

Type: Gold
Requirement: Complete every goal in THPS3 and earn all gold medals

This trophy requires 100% completion of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, including:

Foundry: Industrial setting with molten metal hazards
Los Angeles: Earthquake-damaged cityscape
Canada: Snowy mountain resort
Rio: Vibrant Brazilian favelas and beaches
Suburbia: Mysterious neighborhood with hidden secrets
Competitions: Gold medals in Tokyo, Cruise Ship, and Roswell

Each level contains standard objectives like collecting SKATE letters, finding the secret tape, and achieving high scores, plus unique environmental challenges specific to each location.

Thanks 4 the Memories

Type: Gold
Requirement: Complete every goal in THPS4 and earn all gold medals

THPS4’s structure differs slightly with its more open-ended approach. You’ll need to complete all objectives in:

College: Campus life with fraternity challenges
San Francisco: City streets and famous landmarks
Alcatraz: Prison island with escape themes
Kona: Legendary skate park
Shipyard: Industrial docks and warehouses
London: British streets and Underground
Competitions: Gold medals in Chicago, Australia, and Slam City Jam

The goals here often involve specific NPCs and multi-part objectives that tell mini-stories within each level.

Flying Solo

Type: Gold (Hidden)
Requirement: Complete every Solo Tour
Time Investment: 35-40 hours

The most time-intensive trophy in the game, Flying Solo requires beating the entire game with all 35 skaters individually. However, subsequent playthroughs become significantly faster as you:

Learn optimal routes for each level
Skip all cutscenes and dialogue
Focus solely on goal completion
Ignore stat points after first few characters

Pro tip: Use a checklist to track completed skaters and take breaks between sessions to avoid burnout.

Unprecedented

Type: Gold
Requirement: Score 10,000,000 points in 2 minutes or single combo (No Assist Mods)

This represents the ultimate skill check in THPS 3+4. Success requires:

Stats: Max out Rail Balance (10/10) and Manual Balance (10/10)
Location: School II or Philadelphia work best
Strategy: Chain special grinds with reverts and manuals
Multipliers: Mix in flip tricks during manuals for variety bonus

My successful run started with a special grind on School II’s entrance rail, followed by a revert-manual across the courtyard, hitting every grindable surface while maintaining momentum with wallplants.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 Silver Trophies

OBMOC

Type: Silver
Requirement: Complete a COMBO goal in reverse

After finishing all regular goals in any level, COMBO goals appear. Instead of collecting C-O-M-B-O in order, grab them backwards starting with O. This clever twist forces you to rethink familiar routes and discover new lines through levels you thought you knew perfectly.

That Was a Nice One

Type: Silver
Requirement: Complete a speedrun without bailing

Speedrun mode challenges you to complete all basic goals as quickly as possible. For this trophy, time doesn’t matter – just don’t bail! Airport is the community favorite because:

Minimal verticality reduces fall risk
Straightforward goal placement
Can be completed in under 2 minutes
Wide open spaces for safe landings

There’s More?

Type: Silver (Hidden)
Requirement: Unlock Pro Goals

Unlocks automatically after completing all standard goals across every level. Pro Goals add a new layer of challenge with references to classic THPS moments and inside jokes from skateboarding culture.

The Solo Acts Begin

Type: Silver (Hidden)

Continue until 150,000+ points

Multiplication

Requirement: Land a combo of 75+ tricks

Focus on quantity over quality here. The x75 multiplier matters, not the score. Best approach:

Use School II or Warehouse for space
Chain quick tricks (kickflip, manual, kickflip, manual)

Maintain momentum with reverts between quarters

Expert Strategies for Difficult Trophies

Mastering Unprecedented (10 Million Points)

The key to Unprecedented lies in understanding THPS’s scoring system. Your base score gets multiplied by your trick count, so a 40x combo with 250,000 base points equals 10 million. Here’s my proven School II route:

The Setup:

Stats: 10/10 Rail, 10/10 Manual, 8/10 Speed
Special Tricks: Equipped with high-scoring grinds
Starting Position: Gymnasium entrance

The Route:

Special grind the entrance rail heading toward pool
Revert into manual across the courtyard
Hit the planter box with a flip trick
Manual toward the portable classrooms
Special grind the long rail
Wallplant off the building
Manual back toward the main building
Grind the benches near the doors
Continue the pattern, mixing in variety

Key Tips:

Never repeat the same trick twice in a row
Use wallplants to maintain momentum
Mix flip tricks during manuals for multiplier
Stay calm – one bail means starting over

Final Thoughts and Motivation

Earning the platinum trophy in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 represents more than just a gaming achievement – it’s a journey through skateboarding history. These games defined a generation and influenced gaming culture in ways that still resonate today. The 65-85 hour investment might seem daunting, but every session brings new discoveries and “aha!” moments.

My personal journey took 78 hours over four weeks. Some sessions frustrated me, particularly early Unprecedented attempts where I’d bail at 8 million points. But breakthrough moments, like finally landing that perfect line or discovering a hidden route I’d missed for hours, provided genuine euphoria that few games can match.

The Flying Solo grind tested my patience around skater 20, but switching up my approach – playing favorite skaters when motivation dipped, taking regular breaks, and celebrating milestones – transformed a potential slog into an enjoyable tour through different playstyles.

Remember: this platinum rewards skill development over time investment. Unlike many modern platinums that demand multiple playthroughs on escalating difficulties or rely on RNG, every THPS 3+4 trophy can be earned through practice and determination. There are no missable trophies, no online requirements that might become unobtainable, and no unfair challenges that require frame-perfect execution.

Whether you grew up with these games or are experiencing them fresh, the trophy list enhances rather than detracts from the experience. You’ll discover secrets you missed as a kid, master techniques you never knew existed, and genuinely become a better player. By the time you unlock that platinum, you won’t just own the trophy – you’ll have truly become the Pro Skater.

So fire up your console, pick your favorite skater, and drop into that first halfpipe. Your platinum journey begins with a single ollie, and before you know it, you’ll be chaining million-point combos and teaching others the routes you’ve mastered. The community is welcoming, the games are timeless, and that platinum trophy is waiting for someone with the dedication to claim it.

See you at the secret tape spot, fellow skaters. And remember – in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater, the only real failure is not trying that line one more time.
