How to complete the stunt gauntlet in THPS 3+4

How do you complete the stunt gauntlet in THPS 3+4? The Cruise Ship is easily the worst level when it comes to confusing challenges. You can watch the goal runthrough video before attempting the stunt gauntlet challenge, but you're only going to see a lone judge with a clipboard standing somewhere on the ship.

The stunt gauntlet challenge in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 takes you around the Cruise Ship level as you show off your skills to three judges. If you're stuck on this level, be sure to read our guides to help you invert the high wires and help raise the ferry, two of the most annoying challenges in the skateboard game.

To complete the stunt gauntlet challenge on the Cruise Ship level, you need to prove your skateboarding skills to three judges around the ship, then claim the gold medal to round off the goal.

These stunts can be completed in any order, but for the purposes of this guide, we're going to tackle them in an optimized route. The first judge can be found on the tall blue structure located in front of the cruise ship's spawn point. You can get to it by jumping off the ramp and grinding the high wires until you reach the structure.

Once you're there, wait for a few seconds for the helicopter to show up. When it arrives, perform a lip trick on the side of it to trigger the 'Get To The Choppa!' gap, completing the first stunt challenge.

As soon as you land the lip trick, turn to the right and make your way down to the end of the ship, then skate down the right side until you reach the second judge at the atrium. Launch yourself off the ramp with the sign that reads 'Grind The 808' and aim for the rail holding up the large hanging plants.

You need to stay on this rail until you complete a cycle around it; you should see a message saying 'Halfway there!' when you've reached the opposite end of the rail. When you get back to the starting point, you should automatically activate the 'Complete 808!' gap, leading you to the third and final stunt challenge.

The last challenge is located on the opposite side of the ship, so skate past the atrium and head to the short ramp with the sign 'Manual the shops' on either side. The judges can be found near the shops, and you should notice that the ground has markings to show the distance you've travelled. You must perform a manual across the length of the path until you trigger the 'Shop-Side Manual' gap.

With this challenge down, you'll receive the message saying 'All stunts completed! Claim your gold medal!". Go back to the upper deck, then head down the path leading to the giant gold medal. All you need to do is skate up the ramp leading to the medal, causing it to fall down the side of the ship. This opens up the nets around the front of the ship, giving you the chance to claim some cash.

And that's all you need to complete the stunt gauntlet in THPS 3+4. Since you're on your way to completing every endgame challenge, be sure to read our multiball targets and Sack Tap through the slime guides to help you on the final level in the THPS 4 campaign. Don't worry, the game isn't over yet, as you'll unlock the pro challenges like the lip trick near the pirate goal, taking you through the levels once more to prove your expertise.
