THPS3 is the highly anticipated sequel to THPS2, it as far as I’m concerned, it lives up to the hype and surpasses it. Well I’ll move on with the FAQ so enjoy! (Note: I am not going to explain the goals that have to do with getting a sick score since they are self-explanatory. And I will not explain where the letters for s-k-a-t-e are since they are different for each charecter) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B. Goal Guide 1. Foundry "Cannonball over the pipe" - Just get a lot of speed, bust a no comply, and do the cannon ball move over the pipe in the beginning of the level. "Soak the foreman" - The foreman is the guy that is right in front of the water tank (kina looks like a whirlpool). Just grind the rail behind him and a hook will knock him into the water. "Grind the molten bucket" - You have to grind the bucket that is pouring the molten metal, not the bucket that is receiving it. To Start out, go to where the control room for the bucket is (it has glass windows and there is a man inside and there is two lights that light up depending on where the bucket is) Then you should see the bucket move over top the place where it dumps. Just as it starts to dump, start to move forward to it, then use a no comply to pop yourself up high and grind one of the rails on either side of the bucket "50-50 TC’s Rail" - TC’s rail is the left rail of the walking platform on the ground that is in between the molten metal press and the tanks. Just hit the grind button while parallel to the rail to grind it across. "Get the secret tape" - The secret tape is in the air on a beam going through the middle of the level. The easiest way to get there is to stay on the level you start the stage on and look to your right, you should see the edge with a little ramp on the end with the elevated walkways in front of it. Just hit the ramp with a little bit of speed and get onto the elevated walkways and then make your way towards the room with glass on each side of it. When you get there you should see the tape. Just get some speed, hit the mini kicker ramp, and shoot yourself onto the beam with the tape. "Turn off 5 valves" - The valves are the very small rails with a red light blinking behind it. There are 3 on the right side of the level and 2 on the left. Just grind them and they will turn blue, meaning you shut them off. 2. Canada "Impress the skaters" - In this goal you have to impress the skaters by doing a move worth at least 2,500 in front of them. You can distinguish them between the normal people because they are standing on top of quarter pipes and they have skateboards in their hands. They are all in the area with the multiple bowels. There is 1 on the top right hand corner of the bowel filled part of the level, 2 in the center, 1 in the bottom right hand corner, and one in the bottom left hand corner. "Bury the bully" - This is an easy one. Just go down from where you start out, do a 180, then come back up the quarter pipe and hit the snow covered tree. "Nosegrind around the horn" - Go down from where you start out, do a 180, then come back and hit the ramp and land on the elevated walkway ahead of it, then continue and go over the next ramp and you should be at a tree with the walkway going through it. Then turn around and follow the walkway (it should have a rope on the outer edge) hold the "up" button and hit the grind button and you will do a nosegrind...keep on doing this till you go all the way around, then jump off. "Do a melon over the blade" - Another easy one, just go down from where you start out, do a 180 and do a melon over the middle part of the quarter pipe and land in the other section of quarter pipe. "Get the secret tape" - First go to the spot with the tree with a walkway going through it (stated in the nosegrind around the horn goal earlier) then instead of turning around, keep going straight and go over the ramp, you should see a quarter pipe ahead of you with a half pipe beside it. Grind the rail to the right of you and you will hit a switch that will raise the half pipe. Go from the quarter pipe to the half pipe. Then go from the half pipe to another half pipe ahead of it. Then from that half pipe go onto the platform ahead. Then when you get to the edge of the platform hit the grind button and you will start to grind on a railroad track with the tape at the end. "Get chuck unstuck" - Another easy one, Ollie over the fence to the left of you and hit the boy in blue with his tongue against the pole. 3. Suburbia "Help the thin man" - First off, go to the house that is still under construction and grind the pieces of wood that are on the ground, you will get an axe, that is the key. Then go to the big "haunted" mansion that is to the left of where you start and go up to the thin man. "Clear the power lines" - The easiest way I can think of doing this is to go to the house directly behind the fence that you can get to by just going straight from where you start out. Go up the ramp leading to the roof of the house nearest the fence then you will see two lines with tree branches on them, just grind the top one first, then when you get to the roof of the other house turn around and grind the other wire back, completing the goal. "Get the secret tape" - First you must help the thin man. Then go into his house and clear the gap from one quarter pipe to the next. Then you will be in a room with a high rollin wood on it. Hit it then go in the opposite direction and it the quarter pipe with the ramp on top of it and you will go through the window and bats will fly out. Then just center yourself in the hallway, and when you break through the other window, hit the grind button and you will grind onto the tape. "Heelflip the trailer gap" - The trailer you have to heel flip over is in the extreme upper right hand corner of the level (it has a silver quarter pipe behind it). Hit the silver quarter pipe, then hit the ramp on the trailer, bust a no comply, then do a heelflip while in midair. "Smash 5 pumpkins" - To smash the pumpkins you have to just simply run into them or you can do a move on them if you want. There is one on the front porch of the grey building with a jeep in the driveway. One on the half pipe on the right side of the haunted house. One on the quarter pipe on the left side of the haunted house. One on the wood fence/quarter pipe beside the man’s house that you helped clear the wires of the debris. And the last one is in that same mans garage, on the brick fence. "Nosegrab over the pipe" - Simply nosegrab over the two mini quarter pipes on the right of the quarter pipe that is beside the haunted house. 4. Airport "Stop the pickpockets" - The pickpockets are the guys in black. Just run into them to stop them. There are two on either side of the conveyor belt on the very beginning of the level (top floor) there are two in the locker room on the second floor. And there is one on the 3rd floor near the computer. "Get the tickets to your skate buddy" - To start out, grind the counter with the lady behind it in the beginning of the level to get the tickets. Then you must make it all the way down two sets of escalators without bailing, while at the same time ramping over the metal detectors because they will void the tickets. If you bail or if the tickets are voided, you have to start over. After you make it all the way down to the 2nd escalator, take a left and you will see your skate buddy with his chick (or mom, I don't know :) ) just skate up to him and the goal is complete "Crooked grind the baggage return machine" - To start out, hop over the counter to the right of where you start out, then hop onto the conveyor belt and skate into the baggage intake thing. You will see some flashes and then you will see a helicopter. Just keep going straight and you will see escalators going underground, follow one of them. Then you will see the baggage return machine. Just press the "up" and "right" buttons simultaneously and hold them, then get up to the baggage return machine and Ollie and press the grind button, you should be crooked grinding it, just grind a complete circle and jump off. "Airwalk over an escalator" - Go to the same spot as the goal above. Then simply get some speed, hit one of the quarter pipes, then airwalk over one of the escalators and land on the other side on the other quarter pipe. "Find the secret tape" - Go to the floor in which you help your skate buddy. Then go to the opposite end of that floor and you will see the tape up in the air against the curved glass. To get there hit the quarter pipe on the side, up against the wall, and then grind the rail closest to the ceiling. Keep your balance and you will make it to the tape. "Visit 10 countries" - Go to the same floor as you found the secret tape. You will notice 5 flags on each side of that floor with a rail going underneath them all. Just hit the rail beside the quarter pipe to the right, (stated on the goal above) and you will grind all the way around, hitting 10 flags. Then go to the opposite side of the airport and do the same thing. 5. Los Angeles "Start the earthquake" - You have to grind 4 rails in the area immediately ahead of you. There are 2 rails on either side of the block, one going down the middle (it is the straight one going though the building), and one going horizontally, with the road, on the bottom of the block (it's in between the newspaper dispensers and the grass). "Free ball it" - Take off your boxers. j/k. There are two big orange balls in the center of the level (between the purple building and the yellow building) just Ollie into them to knock them free. "Stop the car chase" - First you must start the earthquake (see above). Then go to the part of LA where the fire truck is. Hit the quarter pipe nearest the fire truck, opposite of the car wash. Then hold the up button and Ollie as you come up the other quarter pipe so you land on top of the car wash. Hop onto the part of broken highway going into LA, then head up it and Ollie onto the next section, you will see a turquoise car teetering on the side of the highway. Simply grind the section of highway he's teetering on and he will fall, stopping the van, and a shootout will start. "Vertical Kickflip the Gap" - The gap they are talking about is the one between the rails behind the building with the glass you can skate through. Just gain speed, hit one of the rails, grind up, Ollie, do a vertical kickflip, then land and grind on the opposite rail. "Find the secret tape" - Go back onto the broken highway, then keep on hopping from section to section until you get to the section that has plywood up against the edge, forming a ramp. Get some speed, then hit the ramp with a no comply and you should be launched to the awning of the building that was in front of you. Then get a skating start, and grind the awning you are on, then Ollie and grind the curved awning in front of you, then Ollie once more and you will grind the rail with the secret tape on it. "One foot Japan the tower popping gap" - This is the gap on top of the building with the breakable glass. Hit one of the quarter pipes on either side of the building, Bust a one-footed Japan, then land in the mini half pipe on top of the building. 6. Cruise Ship "Impress the Neversoft girls" - This can be a tough one if you aren't careful. You must do a trick in front of them (they have a tank top on with Neversoft across it), worth at least 4000 points to impress them. There are 7 girls you must impress. To start out, drop down on the quarter pipe from which you start on, do a 180, go in-between the two quarter pipes, drop down to the second deck (there is a single wire with flags on it going down) then do a trick to impress her. Then drop down one more deck and do the same thing, then head on either side of the ship and impress the girls there. Then there are 3 more left and they are on the middle to the back of the ship. One being in the very back, and one is by the pool with a blue waterslide and one is beside the pool with a cake beside it. "Raise the ferry" - This is an easy one. Go onto the bottom deck. Then go onto the side of the ship where there are multiple rescue boats lined up. There will be a man checking out a blue box. Just wall ride the blue box and the ferry will raise. "Find the secret tape" - Go down from where you start, do a 180, then come back up the pipe, being sure to get enough speed to make it to the top wire. then grind. You should grind the flagged wires all the way to the "tail" of the ship. Then jump off, get some speed, center yourself on the tail, and use the mini half pipe to get the secret tape. "Invert the high wires" - First you must drain the pool by grinding the silver pipe beside the "tail" of the ship (it’s the big red and white metal thing coming out of the ship with the secret tape on it). Then go into the pool, get some speed, then bust an invert on either of the wires with flags on them. "Wreck the museum" - The museum is located behind the pool area, or under the spot you start out on. Once you get there, grind the outside edge of the museum, where there are 2 ropes holding up a huge propeller. "Noseblunt slide an awning" - Go to the bottom floor of the ship, then go to the spot where the lifeboats are lined up.
