Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4: All Secret Areas & How To Unlock Them

There are plenty of secrets and hidden areas in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, which is no surprise given how many the original games included, particularly THPS 3. When it comes to secret areas, nearly every map in the game has some sort of hidden location or secret teleporter that you probably wouldn’t discover unless you know where to look. If you’re just getting started with THPS 3+4, be sure to keep your eyes peeled for these secrets as you explore every map.

Some of the secret areas in THPS 3 will only be unlocked after completing the main goals, such as when you complete the Cruise Ship Stunt Gauntlet or un-jam all the valves in Foundry. However, there are other much more difficult secret areas to access, such as Tokyo’s secret area, which is infamously hard to reach and is the only way you’ll be able to grab the secret Panda Plushie on the map. For THPS 4, there aren’t too many secret areas, but there are plenty of secret teleporters that come in extremely useful.

How To Unlock Every Secret Area In Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3

Secret Areas In THPS 3 Include Foundry, Tokyo, & The Cruise Ship

The hidden and/or secret areas in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 aren’t too complicated to unlock, aside from Tokyo, which can be challenging if you don’t know what to do. You’ll essentially need to grind the light rail up to the ledges and find a way to grind the Neon Skater sign to knock it off and break a hole in the wall. This is the only way to get the secret Panda Plushie in Tokyo, which is required to unlock Officer Dick, aka Constable Richard.

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4: Where To Find Every Iron Galaxy Logo

Every park in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 has an Iron Galaxy Logo somewhere around the map, but some of them are very hidden and difficult to find.

Aside from Tokyo, the secret areas in THPS 3 aren’t too tricky to access, but you’ll need to know where to look, otherwise they’ll probably slip under your radar. A few of these are unlocked as part of the main park goals, such as completing the Stunt Gauntlet on the Cruise Ship, which will unlock a secret wrap-around area at the bow of the ship. Similarly, the very first map, Foundry, has a secret area unlocked by un-jamming 5 valves around the sides of the map, which opens up the door directly behind the starting area.

Aside from these, you can also reach Bikini Bottom by jumping off the bow of the pirate ship in Skater Island, but it’s a relatively small area that doesn’t lead anywhere except off a cliff. Los Angeles has a secret area underneath the grates on the far side of the map, which you’ll have to grind the rail to open up if you want the secret Panda Plushie underneath.

Map	Secret Area Location	How To Unlock	Image
Foundry	Helix Room	Un-Jam all 5 valves as part of the main goals. Door behind the start location will open to the helix room.
Canada	Pickaxe Sluice to Mandatory Video Game Mine Cart Ride	Raise the platform by grinding the rail with the switch. Don’t forget to bring Peter his thermos over here to complete a Pro Goal.
Rio	Back alley bowl and rail	Break the fence behind the Parque de Skate ramp
Suburbia	Enter the Abyss	Jump through the haunted house’s front door when you see the glowing eyes
Airport	X-Ray to Helicopter	From start area, go through the x-ray machine to your right and grind the helicopter blade
Skater Island	Bikini Bottom	Ramp off the bow of the ship into the life preserver.
Los Angeles	They’re Grate!	Grind the “They’re Grate” rail to drop the grates – there’s a Panda Plushie down there for you.
Tokyo	Behind the Neon Skater Sign	Grind the wires and ledges in Tokyo up to the neon skater sign, which will get knocked down and break a hole in the wall for the secret area.
Cruise Ship	Anchors Aweigh	Complete the Stunt Gauntlet and wall plant the gold medal to open up the anchor points at the bow of the ship.

How To Unlock Every Secret Area In Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4

THPS 4 Doesn’t Have Many Secret Areas, But Does Have Many “Secret” Teleporters Worth Finding

Unlike the THPS 3 maps, there aren’t very many secret areas in the THPS 4 maps, but there are plenty of very useful hidden teleporters in maps that do not have secret areas. I’ve listed these here as a helpful resource, though I wouldn’t technically consider them “secret areas” per se. That doesn’t mean there aren’t any secret areas in the THPS 4 maps, however. In fact, one of my favorite secret areas is found on a new map that wasn’t part of the original THPS 4, the Movie Set.

Does Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Have Crossplay?

Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 will be released on a wide range of platforms, so many players are likely hoping the game features crossplay.

There’s a secret area underneath the Movie Set that you can access by entering the green glowing sewer behind the starting location. When you jump in for the first time, I highly recommend yelling “Cowabunga” to give it the full effect, and once you enter, you’ll be transported to the Ninja Turtle’s sewer hideout. It’s an awesome little area that pays homage to the classic Sewers map from the original THPS 4 while also giving one of the secret skaters, Michelangelo, a place to call home.

Outside the Movie Set, there aren’t many secret areas in the THPS 4 maps, but there are quite a few hidden teleporters that come in extremely handy in completing the various park goals. In particular, the Clock Tower back entrance makes getting the secret tape located high above on a wire much easier to get. You can technically grind up to it from down below, but the teleporter pops you out right above it. Similarly, to get to the Hidden Deck in London, use the elevator underneath the hotel to make your life easier.

Another tricky location that you’ll need to figure out how to access to complete the Pro Goals is in the Shipyard, which requires grinding the rails inside the vents. These can be really frustrating to line up and access, and it may take a few tries to get it down. For the Waterpark and Alcatraz, you’ll be able to access the Arcade and Jailhouse secret areas by completing the main goals.

Map	Secret Area/Teleporter	How To Unlock	Image
College	Clock Tower Teleporter*	Enter the back door behind the clock tower. Use this to get the Secret Tape.
San Francisco	Elevator Teleporter*	Outside the Skull Candy Store. Use this to get the Galaxy Logo Icon more easily.
Movie Set	Turtle Power Sewers	Drop into the green glowing sewer drain behind the starting location to find the Ninja Turtles home away from home.
Alcatraz	Inside the Prison	Knock down all five trash cans to get the keys and free the prisoner.
Waterpark	Arcade	Bring the keys to the Arcade entrance to unlock it.
Kona	N/A	No secrets or teleporters worth noting in this map.	N/A
Shipyard	Vents*	Use the platforms above the shipping container full of trash to transfer over to the vents. This will be required for completing the Pro Goals.
London	Underground Hotel Elevators*	Use the elevators under the hotel to get up to the Hidden Deck.
Zoo	Monkey Exhibit	Use the open door to the Giraffe enclosure to warp to the monkey exhibit secret area upper level.
Pinball	Birdman Multiball*	Use the Birdman teleporter to activate Multiball and transfer yourself up to the top deck.
*These maps don’t contain “secret areas,” but the teleporters listed here can be somewhat tricky to find if you don’t know about them.

Overall, there are quite a few secret areas in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 that are well worth accessing, especially in THPS 3, where nearly every map has a hidden secret area. For THPS 4 maps, be sure to check out the Turtle Power Sewers, as it’s one of the best spots in the game, especially if you’re a Ninja Turtles fan.
