by

Over the past few years, it’s become quite common for studios and publishers to bring back their classic hits in remakes or reboots. Case in point, Capcom frequently updates its old Resident Evil games, and Activision has jumped on board too, revitalizing the legendary Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series. Last week (July 11, 2025), they released a new compilation that includes the third and fourth installments of the franchise. As a fan, I couldn’t be more excited to relive these games! However, I must warn you that some objectives are tricky to accomplish since they’re not straightforward challenges like arcade games, but rather puzzles with hidden solutions. Let me walk you through one such challenge: how to complete the Invert the high wires goal on the Cruise Ship map?

How to complete Invert the high wires goal in Tony Hawk 3 + 4

In Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, there are numerous challenges. One of the toughest is called “Invert the High Wires,” where you need to perform an invert lip trick on one of the ship’s high wires. These wires are situated above the swimming pool, and you can only execute this trick if the pool doesn’t have water in it. To drain the pool, locate the pipe with a valve near the large chessboard on the same deck as the pool. This should help you complete the challenge more easily.

As a gamer, I’ve discovered an ingenious trick: leverage the empty swimming pool as a ramp for a thrilling ride across! Gradually gain momentum from one end to another. Keep going until my “Special” bar fills up – this power-up grants me the height needed to reach those elusive wires. The speed at which I fill the bar depends on the character stats I’ve chosen for this adventure.

Ensure that once you’ve reached the right speed, align your course directly with the wire before pressing the appropriate button sequence.
