Remakes are extremely popular in the recent years. Many studios and publishers release new versions of their biggest hits. For examples, Capcom that regularly refreshes its older Resident Evil titles. Activision also joined the trend and decided to “reanimate” the iconic Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games. Last week (July 11, 2025), the company launched a second compilation that includes the third and fourth installments of the series. So, it’s a great opportunity to go back and experience these games again. Keep in mind, though, that some objectives are hard to complete because they are not arcade challenges but puzzles with hidden solutions. Let’s talk about one of them.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 includes many challenges. One of the trickiest is "Invert the High Wires," which requires performing the invert lip trick on one of the ship’s high wires. These wires are situated above the swimming pool, and the trick cannot be completed if the pool contains water. So, you must drain the pool first. How to do this? Grind the pipe with a valve, which can be found near the large chessboard. It is located on the same deck as the pool, so you will have no problem finding it.

At this point you can use the empty swimming pool as a ramp that allows you to reach the wires. Just ride from one side to the other. Continue to pick up speed until you fill up “Special” bar, as it will allow you to jump high enough to reach wires. The speed of load will depend on the statistics of your characters.

Remember that after reaching the correct speed, you should approach the wire at a straight angle and press the correct button combination:

  1. Xbox controller: left on the d-pad and Y,
  2. PlayStation controller: left on the d-pad and Triangle.

If you time it right, you will complete Invert the high wires challenge in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4. So, you can move on to other goals available in the game. Good luck and have fun.
