Introduction

 

This is the sequel to EA's simulation game, Skate. This game furthers the story, yes there is a story, mostly evident through cutscenes so pay attention. The tricks have improved and are now easier to perform. The skate store is now changed to being in the menu rather than having the character physically teleport or travel to pick up a new item. The clothes and accessories aren't as worthwhile as they used to be, the boards look identical to a small fragment and the items are badly arranged so good-bye branding and listing, its all just huddled up into one big pile. The game now offers trophies, compared to the 1st and are somewhat difficult for the novices to the series or skateboarding, whatsoever. The game has more improved places to skate, more locations to search and kill, community levels and uploading of your created level, more challenges, DLC to boot, and newer skaters. This game is opposite of Tony hawk series, its not all about Tony Hawk, its about creating and experiencing the journey from Amateur Skater to a Professional, well-recognized skater.

 

My recommendations:

 

I recommend you start your skater and complete all optional activities like Tranny Contests, Street Contests, Death Races and Film Challenges before fully pursuing career or online. Career teaches you the basics, the rest is up to you to learn and master and online many people don't help you out, there are few easy tricks to conquer the online so keep reading. Utilize the Trick Guide to learn some different approaches, check your skate.Profile: Career for in-game statistics and the Music Player for your own enjoyment or do what I do and use your iPod, instead.

 

German Import

The German version of the game is region locked, but luckily the online trophies stack or auto pop, all but Active Skater once you have completed one freeskate activity. Although you still need to do all the freeskating that's required for the trophy. You will need a friend who owns the version or add someone from Germany (a random) to help out, who may or may not help effectively. Credit to Seppukun for clearing this up.

 

Cheat Codes:

At the main menu, select "Extras" option. Choose the "Enter Code" selection, then enter one of the following codes to activate the corresponding cheat function:

 

1. Big Black

Enter "letsdowork" as a code to unlock Big Black in Freeskate, Online, and Party Play modes. Note: His bounce ability can only be used offline.

 

2. 3-D mode

Enter "strangeloops" as a code to shift the colors to give a 3-D effect when viewed with red and blue 3-D glasses. Repeat the code to disable its effect.

 

3. Disable NPC trash talking in Career mode

Enter "bailymcbailster" as a code.

These cheats aren't as effective as in Skate because they're only for show, the only good ones are 1 and 3 and you'll know why after playing the game.

Walkthrough:

 

1. Tutorial

After starting the career, you will watch a 7 minute long video profiling all the skaters and you continuing from where you left off in Skate. It's an interesting video and is always hilarious to see the creativity presented but it cannot be skipped. After the video ends you will be in a surgical bed, here you change your skater's gender and clothing and accessories. After you're done, complete Slappy's tutorial to advance further. After it's over, you should have gotten 5 trophies:

 

  1. Gender Bender (B)
  2. Graphically Extreme (B)
  3. Skater Evolved (B)
  4. I Like To Move It (B)
  5. Meet Slappy (B)

 

2. Community-Related - Unobtainable

You should bring up online menu (:select:) and go to create-a-spot for uploading and downloading created spots, then Skate.Reel to rate any photos and videos of your choosing. The 2 speed trophies should unlock depending on the community level, just download as many as possible and try them all out. Be sure its either "Top of the E" or the "Dam" as they tend to have a huge ramp to net you enough speed to bail and keep for 5 seconds. Best way to know is the Dam is huge and has water flowing through if you quit the challenge, you should see. The other should have a tower peaking at the bottom with a pipe nearby, there's a huge hill to use through the tower and get the necessary speed.

 

  1. The Architect (B)
  2. The Critic (B)
  3. Dethrowned (B)
  4. Need for Speed (B)
  5. Juggling Chainsaws (B)

 

3. Grinding

Start off with the pro challenges to unlock all characters for Throwdown challenges, use these to grind for cash if need be, then use the maps presented to get all spots and pools. Afterwards you should use the Mikey glitch and Big Black shortcut to get the trophies quickly. Last but not least use the link to get all the Hall of Meat challenges and related trophies done. This is one of the few challenging trophies in the game, therefore, take your time. be patient and it will come. The pros are tricky but possible.

 

  1. How you like them apples? (S)
  2. Anyone Else? (S)
  3. Make it Big! (B)
  4. New San Van Hero (B)
  5. Pull the Plug (B)
  6. Spare Parts (S)
  7. Urban Legend Too (S)
  8. Uninsurable (B)
  9. Sandbag (B)

 

4. Perfectionist

To tackle Perfectionist, you should complete the deathraces, always betting the max amount of cash. Then complete all optional challenges like Danny Way and Rob Dyrdek's film challenges and the S.K.A.T.E against Shingo. Complete all tranny and street contests, which shouldn't be hard if you at least win 2/3. you should at least make an effort, whenever 1st seems impossible. Complete all Cover photos and sub-challenges for Thrasher and SBM, afterwards you should be fully sponsored. Use all the money you saved up to purchase the two properties and get perfectionist. you must complete all demos and team film challenges as well. You can always bet money in Throwdown challenges as long as you use glitch in case you're short on cash. Refrain from buying clothes until you have sufficient funds.

 

  1. Still Alive? (B)
  2. Race Hero (B)
  3. That's the Way (B)
  4. Where's my TV show? (B)
  5. GVR Champ (B)
  6. Big Air Champ (B)
  7. SBM Cover (S)
  8. Thrasher Cover (S)
  9. Fully Sponsored (B)
  10. Real Estate Mogul (B)
  11. Perfectionist (G)

 

5. Online Related - Unobtainable

Go and enter a ranked match, preferably a custom match, then with skill that you learned you should be able to win 1st in something you're good at. There are 5 categories. check the boosting thread if you can't find 3 or more people and get the Skater's Choice. You can choose to boost or grind, whichever is fine but remember, the online is usually dead around the afternoon, 3PM-6PM (Central Standard Time). Boosting will level you up much faster, but if you're lucky you can join someone or have someone join and keep them around as long as possible, in hopes of easy XP. I grinded 1000 XP in 2 hours with 1 person in S.K.A.T.E. All I did was land easy moves, while the other kept bailing. It worked wonders. After you reach Legend, have a go in Freeskate. Here is where you will need a partner. Set a private match and invite him/her, then just wait and grind all 149 activities, should take 3-5 hours overall. A lot are tricky but with enough patience and practice, it should become simple soon enough.

 

  1. Pwn some n00bs (B) - Still obtainable
  2. Skater's Choice (B) - Still obtainable
  3. Amateur Skater (B)
  4. Online Pro (S)
  5. Online Legend (G)
  6. Playing Nice Together (B) - Still obtainable
  7. Cooperation is key (B) - Still obtainable
  8. Active Skater (S) - Still obtainable

 

6. Miscellaneous

These trophies should unlock either during the career or lastly after all is completed. These aren't hard, whatsoever but should require a bit of grinding here and there. As long as the game autosaves between progress, the total amount spent for each should be no hassle. For Good Samaritan, enter a No-Skate Zone and search for a skater to protect. Grasshopper and Stairmaster should either have occurred with Perfectionist or Community-Based. On Top of The World requires all Races finished to gain access to SV Peak.

 

  1. Skitched Up (B)
  2. Running Man (B)
  3. DIY (B)
  4. Good Samaritan (B)
  5. Grasshopper (B)
  6. Stairmaster (B)
  7. Taste The Mongo ((S)(H))
  8. On Top Of The World (B)

 

7. The END?

This should be the reward presented after doing all that is necessary and obtain all trophies. Best of luck.

000.jpg Platinum Trophy (P)

Platinum Trophy

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Earn All 46 Trophies to obtain this Ultra Rare trophy.

 

001.jpg On Top Of The World (B)

Perform an invert on one of the highest points in the city in career mode

 

Go to SV Peak, very top of map, location unlocks upon completing all deathraces or you can try a different method. SV Peak is above Cougar Mountain, if you have "Cougar Mountain" in your Landmarks, teleport to it, turn around, and go upwards until you see a resting area, should take a minute or so, you should have a tunnel behind you and meet an archway to know you're in "Peak", from there you will see a pool you can drain (figuratively speaking) and all you have to do is just go there and keep pressing up on the :r3: or repeatedly tap :cross: to pick up speed, once near ledge, press :r1: to invert and trophy is yours.

 

Challenge Map => Locations>>Landmarks => SV Peak or Cougar Mountain.

 

Here's a video I made:

 

 

002.jpg Skater Evolved (B)

Get off your board in Career Mode

 

This is a tutorial and you may not continue career until completed.

 

Tap :triangle: to get off your board and get back on. You will run up the stairs here so don't trip. Slappy will instruct you as go, pay attention to cutscenes and listen to what he says.

 

003.jpg I Like To Move It (B)

Move your first object in career mode

 

This is a tutorial and you may not continue career until completed.

 

Tap :r1: to grab an object and use :r3: to move the designated object. You move the dumpster to get to the ramp and to Slappy's skatepark. Slappy will instruct you as go, pay attention to cutscenes and listen to what he says.

 

004.jpg That's The Way (B)

Beat all of Danny Way's film challenges

 

There are 5 film challenges:

 

  1. Thread 'Em
  2. Pump it Up
  3. Going Down?
  4. Bone Drop
  5. E for Everyone

 

The tutorials are very simple, the first one you receive you may glitch out by placing a picnic table or a rail in front of Danny's ramp, while you finish the course. He'll be using ramp 1 and you'll use ramp 2. See here for a playlist I created:

 

005.jpg GVR Champ

Win the GVR Contest

 

GVR (Goofy vs Regular)

 

You will need to complete all 6 street contests to unlock this then complete this for trophy. Luckily this is a team match so be sure to stick with your style crew and pull off big points.

 

  1. Foundation Flickfest
  2. Projects Picnic
  3. Boneyard Blast
  4. Mountain Mayhem
  5. Sidekick Showdown
  6. Downtown Disorder
  7. Goofy vs. Regular

 

A street contest is a contest based on who does the best trick.

 

Note: To win, you must land either a line or trick, before touching the ground for it to count. This is easily done with a heelflip 360 or double kickflip.

 

Most require you to do by specifications like grind only, air only, any. There are 3 rounds per contest. You will need to pay an entry fee so don't quit after you lose. 4 people partake in the contest, including yourself, here are the score orders:

 

1st-3

2nd-2

3rd-1

4th-0

 

The best method I can give is practice the basic tricks in the trick guide and use them to your advantage with the spins. Try to win 1st in 2 and you shouldn't worry or get 1st in 1 and 2nd in other 2 but be sure that no one gets 1st twice or you could have a tie that may or may not shift to your advantage. If it seems like you're losing go to Menu => Restart Challenge => Accept to re-do it. See here for a playlist I created:

 

006.jpg Big Air Champ (B)

Win the San Van-a-Slamma

 

San Van-A-Slamma

 

You will need to complete all 6 street contests to unlock this, then complete this for trophy.

 

  1. Snakestyle Shootout
  2. Harsh Barge Blowout
  3. Bushman Bowl Jam
  4. Sewerside Jam
  5. Lighthouse Shootout
  6. The Bonefest
  7. San Van-A-Slamma

 

A tranny contest is a contest based on accumulation of tricks.

 

Note: To win, you must perform a set of tricks either in a line or integrated to individual lines to count. The total amount by the end of the round, decides the victor. This is easily done with Double Kickflips/Heelflips, 360s to 540s, or a lot of inverts and fliptricks while grinding.

 

Most require you to do by specifications like grind only, air only, any. There are 3 rounds per contest. You will need to pay an entry fee, so don't quit after you lose. 4 people partake in the contest, including yourself, here are the score orders:

 

1st-3

2nd-2

3rd-1

4th-0

 

The best method I have is learn to pick up speed in pools from Danny Way or learn how to invert and custom inverts which rack up 300-800 points. For air use a lot of late tricks and shuv-its before landing. See here for a playlist I created:

 

007.jpg Still Alive? (B)

Win a Deathrace in career mode

 

The first race will be a memorial race for Fabio (Skate reference)

 

  1. Fabio Memorial Race

 

This will unlock all other races, and the battle for the "king of the mountain".

 

008.jpg Race Hero (B)

Win all races in career mode

 

Note: Maxing out your bet and having a Board Sponsor, can net up to $85,000 per race starting from Wheel Burner

 

There are 11 races, last one just unlocks the races.

 

  1. Fabio Memorial Race
  2. Traffic King
  3. Urban Warfare
  4. Da' Finals
  5. K.O.T.M Qualifier 1
  6. K.O.T.M Qualifier 2
  7. Wheel Burner
  8. Strafing Run
  9. Jackknife Pass
  10. Thunderbird Ridge
  11. Cougar Mtn. Massacre

 

Easiest way to win, is to never follow the order of the checkpoints, learn it, memorize it, then make your own shortcut to the finish line. Be sure to reach a checkpoint before you bail or get run over to avoid repetition. Also be aware of time you have remaining or you may risk losing by disqualification (DNF) for running out of time. Performing simple fliptricks provide you with more speed but the faster you go, the harder it is turn and easier it is to go flying. See here for a playlist I created:

 

009.jpg Where's my TV show? (B)

Beat all Rob Dyrdek Challenges

 

There are 5 film challenges:

 

  1. Keep It Flarey
  2. Wild Grinding
  3. Still Flaring It
  4. Rail Hopping
  5. Hold The Line

 

Rob's challenges are pretty challenging and may require some luck and a lot of skill and timing. The 30 second time limit makes it very challenging to pull off, especially with a single miss of a requirement or bail will cause you to restart it from the start. To make it easier on yourself, practice the moves beforehand => accept challenge => take it slow => fliptrick a second or two before the jump to land on it without tripping or bailing. See here for a playlist I created:

 

010.jpg SBM Cover (S)

Get the cover of the Skateboard Mag

 

The The Bowels of MongoCorp is the cover photo. This is a little tricky but quite easy, it requires you to move objects accordingly to best fit your style and make it over the wing for the cover photo and trophy. Don't bail, very enclosed area, high probability of messing up, be cautious.

 

Just get up there, No Mugshots Please, The Clampdown, We Roll Large, High and Dry, Lens Flare, Braydon's Ball Blaster, Ice Frosty, The Bank Job, Shoot the View, Who lives here?, Car Enthusiast and The Bowels of MongoCorp.

 

There are 13 Skateboard Mag Challenges:

 

  1. Just get up there
  2. No Mugshots Please
  3. The Clampdown
  4. We Roll Large
  5. High and Dry
  6. Lens Flare
  7. Braydon's Ball blaster
  8. Ice Frosty
  9. The Bank Job
  10. Shoot The View
  11. Who lives here?
  12. Car Enthusiast
  13. The Bowels of MongoCorp

 

These will only unlock upon completing some of the Demos, Film Challenges, and Pro Challenges in the Career Mode section.

014.jpg Anyone Else? (S)

Beat all the pros at Throwdown challenges

 

Refer to How do you like them apples? for Pro info.Throwdown challenges are S.K.A.T.E. challenges similar to H.O.R.S.E. in "basketball." Mess up a move, and you get a letter, get all 5 letters before your opponent, and you lose.

 

Press :l1:>>:triangle:>>Throwdown>>Pick a skater. You must be in-game, not a menu to do so. Each skater beaten will have a lightning bolt present left of their name, there are 25 pro skater, all must have the lightning bolt for the trophy to unlock.

 

Easy way to beat these with ease is to pick "Alphabet Yard" and be sure to add a bench to the spot where you trick out so that the pro bails on it repeatedly. He won't be able to go past it, unless you accidentally hit or pushed it out of place. You can go around it and fliptrick ollies and nollies, no 540s needed and can beat each skater in 2-3 mins.

 

Here's a video I made:

 

 

Note: You can put an object anywhere on there, always check if it works beforehand, then bet max amount, just quit challenge to reset and bet more cash and set up again.

 

Another method is to go to the left of it, near the snake-like platform and u-turn then use that speed to pull 540s or 720s depending on approach. Be sure to land each trick with a footplant :l2: and :cross:, :l2: and :square:, :r2: and :cross:, :r2: and :square: respectively to land 540s and 720s. A good example of this check the S.K.A.T.E. ranked matches, people there tend to land 540s-900s most of the time. There are only 5 choices, all can be glitched in their own way, if you know of others, let me know and I'll post it.

 

Remember to always bet $10,000 once set up, it'll get you $20,000 with ease. See here for a playlist I created:

 

015.jpg New San Van Hero (B)

Call Mikey 10 times

 

Go to services: :l1:>>:triangle:>>Services then click Mike's Uncapping whenever a crowbar is present. This is only available whenever you see a capped rail usually in a No-Skate Zone, Reda will give you a tutorial early on and that won't contribute as it was a free fee. I found it easier just doing with photo or film challenges as you'll need to call anyway. See here for a video I made, showing the exploit in action:

 

 

017.jpg Pull the Plug (B)

Drain every pool and fountain in career mode

 

Note: Each image has a set of coordinates listed below, as they tend to be found there. The best way to tell if you’re near is if a blue pool like image hovers overhead. If full you’ll have to drain, if empty, there is no need. There are 3/7 pools that are needed to continue Thrasher for career. The SV Dam isn’t necessary for trophy, but it is for others. Be sure to always call Sammy if a pool/fountain needs to be drained, for a minimal fee that is of $300 each.

 

How to find Sammy:

 

This is story-Related. The 1st time you meet her, will be in the party you tried to enter that requires you to search for 3 pools, that aren’t filled with water, afterwards she'll be there and drain the 1st pool for free, saying it's her side-job. Just go to services and call her, whenever you’re near a pool/fountain.

 

Reference for pools:

  5. Fountain #5-D6 (In the bottom Right, near the D/E)
  6. Fountain #6-C6 (Bottom Left; Hidden area, you will need to go up a couple of stairs to reach it, there are also 2 community levels I created near it, if you will like to download to get you there). The "/" in between means that its within the center of both coordinates. Here's a video I made:

 

 

018.jpg Real Estate Mogul (B)

Purchase all property in career mode

 

There are only 2 properties in the game:

 

1. Monster Clubhouse:

 

This property can be found on the south side of the map, near the GVR Contest. To unlock it, you will need to complete at least 4 Team Film Challenges, doesn't matter which. The Team Film Challenges will only become available after you have chosen a Board Sponsor and have completed their respective Demo. Afterwards, you must complete a 2nd Demo called Raising Coin. After completing the Demo, you will get the option to purchase the Monster Clubhouse for $200,000. If you are short cash, refer to the Money Grinding section below for more information.

 

2. Fun Track:

 

The Fun Track is an extension of Danny Way's Mega Compound. If you've ever been curious enough to look around here, you might have noticed an enclosed area that is off limits. This area becomes available for purchase after you have completed the Jam with Danny Way Pro Challenge. The property is an extension to Danny Way's Mega Compound. It can be purchased for $50,000 after you have completed the aforementioned challenge. Open up the Challenge Map, then go to Properties and purchase it, whenever you see fit.

You must have the 2 properties for trophy, this also contributes to Perfectionist.

All Hall Of Meat paths complete

 

The Hall of Meat challenges consist of 60 challenges, split between 4 categories, totalling to 15 challenges in each. The difficulty involved here is that the method presented in the link below isn't always helpful, what you got to do is use glitches, try all the spawn points and locations mentioned and come up with your own style. I got the 1st two categories completed by unlocking all own the spot locations and going to said location and try out the challenge presented. You can check your progress in Slappy's Blog or Hall of Meat within the Challenge Map for next available challenge. Making use of the glitches, objects, speed, and direction when bailing are consistent with beating these with ease. The Grab Bag category is the most difficult but gets easier after unlocking the Big Spill. All you could hope for is luck, skill and that you use the bail command and directional buttons to your advantage. Here's a link to a walkthrough I have created link: LINK

 

  • Points
  • Body Damage
  • Style
  • Grab Bag

 

Glitches:

 

 

Tutorials:

 

No Comply Moving:

Get two good pushes, hold your character down by tapping the left stick forward at a good pace, and very quickly no comply.

 

No Comply Still:

Use a trigger(left trigger is easier to use) and hold it down all the way until your character holds the board. Then let go just enough so your character releases the board and keep the trigger in that position throughout the glitch. While holding the trigger there do a no-comply.

 

Trampoline Glitch:

If you don't know this by now shame on you. Get off your board and stand still. Get back on your board and quickly do a superdude (:l2: + :r2: + :square:). Note: This glitch doesn't work everywhere.

 

Twisty Man/Arms Glitch:

Get off your board. Throw the board out in front of you and jump, retract your board by pressing a trigger, and hit :triangle: to get back on your board and (:l2: + :r2: + :square:) or superdude at the same time. Hard to get used to and very random.

 

Update: You can also use (:l2: + :r2: + :circle: + :cross:) or coffin instead of super dude.

 

Freakout Glitch:

Ollie and hold both triggers. Let go of :l2: and hit :triangle: at the same time. Note: This glitch can be useful if it works well.

Tips

 

  • Find the spot, using the coordinates. Then teleport to it and beat the designated score.
  • Use rails, benches, dumpsters, ramps, tables, and other items lying around to your advantage.
  • Killing the spot isn't necessary, all that is needed is "owning" or beating the default set score. "Killing the Spot" will unlock it unlock it Party Play which is multiplayer offline mode.
  • Some can be reached through the career, others are typically near it. Keep a close eye, some are played in career mode
  • The "skull"-shaped spot means you "killed it," the "triton" means owned," and the "normal arrow" means yet to be beaten. Also pay attention as the first two will show on the screen, once you "killed" or" owned" the spot.
  • The community occasionally uploads spots near OTS (Own the Spot), so just confirm coordinates. You must download to see where it is located.
  • Doing these in ranked matches-Spot Battle or others DO NOT contribute. This is career only. There are no cheats like in Skate. that unlock all spots. It will give you suggestions to tackle, this is always a good reference.
  • The spots can be easily accessible through spawn points or landmarks. Just be sure to follow coordinates. They're quite hidden.
  • Manuals require precise timing. Being able to pull continuous tricks is key.

024.jpg Pwn some n00bs (B)

Win an online ranked match

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

This will come with time. Winning a ranked match will net you a lot of points. This is easier to do in Hall of Meat if using glitch, S.K.A.T.E if you face people who aren't trying but grinding xp or Spot Battle if you manage to pull off a good trick/line. If boosting, this will occur easily and you can get a lot of xp very rapidly.

 

Boosting Method:

 

Go online and set up a chatroom with your boosting partner(s), then go to ranked match, then decide which to grind, afterwards start a countdown, and all press same match and once done, all will join the same lobby (which is usually empty, though occasionally full) but you will arrive together and however long you wish to boost there is your choice. It'll take 3-6 hours to grind 5000 XP, depending on amount of points earned.

026.jpg Online Legend (G)

Achieve Legend Rank Online

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

You will need 5 Bronze Medals, 3 Silver Medals and 1 Gold Medal for this trophy.

 

Bronze=100 XP

Silver=500 XP

Gold= 1,000 XP

 

Spot Battle=27 for 1st

Best Trick=15 for 1st

Jam=15 for 1st

S.K.A.T.E=30 for 1st

Deathrace=12 for 1st

Hall of Meat=21 for 1st

 

[if I am incorrect in any please let me know, also let me know all place scores, if possible].

 

The best method I can give is don't go strictly for winning or rushing. Choose "Spot Battle", "S.K.A.T.E" or "Hall of Meat" and just go for the minimum. If you're with 1 player then take it easy and just trick here and there (if HoM, then just do a glitch or two) but don't put too much effort. You want the person to feel confident and stick around, winning too much, and they'll leave, win once or twice and they’ll think you suck and try to hustle you for it, even if you are hustling them instead. If 2 people, then try to go for 2nd or 1st every time, until someone leaves. If 3+ then quit, you tend to find at least 1-2 professionals in there who can land very high scores and beat you. This only applies to "Spot Battle" by the way. Hall of Meat, if using the glitches presented in Spare Parts should net you 1st, if not 2nd each time and even in a big group but the most you'll get is 21, I believe. As for S.K.A.T.E., you'll net 30 for 1st, which is highest among all match types, 25 for 2nd. This is the quickest but it gets tedious with people who can land 540s-900s off the bat, pay attention to it as you may use their technique to get them on their toes. I only know of the footplant, as for the mini glitch, I'm not so sure. Land each trick, preferably a 360-540 trick with a footplant (:l2:+:cross:, :l2:+:square:, :r2:+:cross:, :r2:+:square:) to land a 540-720 and outscore them. Just remember that the heavy hitters tend to land "Triple-Quadruple Kickflips", "Heelflips", "360 Flips 540", "360 Inward Heelflip 540s", "Laser Flips 540-720", "Hardflips 540", "Any 540-900 type move". Be cautious of these and always quit during the lobby, which is after a match and loading next so no XP is lost.

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

Press :select: to bring up online menu. Now press "Browser" and pick any new community level and play it, afterwards the trophy should unlock and your username should be listed as the main on there (for completing and beating previous high scores). If any of you have trouble finding one, Message me and I'll create an easy level in which you can get the trophy. Just be sure to be quick to beat it as people tend to troll those and get the highest possible score. If all else fails, do as I did and download all the ones listed on the first page which was 15 for me and play them all individually until you manage to get a high score. It took me 3 hours before finding an easy one out of the 5 I played before I got a high score. It takes a bit of luck, a lot of skill and trolling the community for new levels.

 

031.jpg Skater's Choice (B)

Win the Skater's choice award in an online ranked match

 

UNOBTAINABLE DUE TO SERVER CLOSURE

 

This trophy will only be possible if there are at least 3 people in a ranked match. I recommend getting a boosting partner, as it's hard to get yourself with no one hardly paying attention to it. Putting everyone down will have no effect, unless someone votes for you, this trophy will be unlikely. Best way to do without boosting is pulling off flashy moves and win a match. Win consistently and this trophy will be unlocked with the players voting for you. I found that Hall of Meat matches are easily done if using glitches to win, as people will feel impressed. You can also add a player playing with you and ask them to vote for you or vote for a vote. I tried many methods but I prefer the boosting thread as people still need the online done and this is a difficult one if you haven't gotten it randomly.

 

032.jpg Juggling Chainsaws (B)

Wipeout at high speed in career mode

 

High speed refers to anything above 30 MPH (48.0 km/h). To do this, you will need to be moving down a slanted surface i.e. downhill or if you are playing the Deathraces then just follow the checkpoints. You will know you hit full speed if your game is moving so fast, that it begins to blur. This trophy can stack with Need for Speed, that is if you bailed after receiving the aforementioned trophy.

Find a car that’s stopped and go in the back of it and press :r1: then hold on as long as possible. Rinse and repeat 10 times for trophy to unlock. This is cumulative but progress will be deleted if not saved. Be sure to autosave by doing a challenge or spot battle, before quitting.

034.jpg Make it Big! (B)

Use Big Black's service 10 times in Career Mode

 

You will encounter Big Black during the Skateboard Mag Photo Challenge, We Roll Large. Upon completion of this challenge, a message will appear stating that you've unlocked his services in the game. From this point on, you can call him for help or have him photo bomb your Photo Challenges. The choice is yours.

 

You can call Big Black from the Services option in your Cell Phone, whenever you like. He’s available pretty much anywhere. You can call him in No-Skate Zones, before a Film Challenge, just to mess with security, wherever, really. As seen with New San Van Hero, this trophy can also be exploited.

 

Procedure:

 

  1. You must open up the Cell Phone Menu :l1:.
  2. Click on Contacts :triangle:
  3. Click on Services
  4. Scroll down to Big Black (depending on where you are, this could be the only available option).
  5. Call him and request his services for $500.
  6. Wait for the cutscene to end.
  7. Now open up the Services tab.
  8. Dismiss Big Black.
  9. Rinse and repeat this process 9 more times for the trophy.

 

Here's a video I made:

 

 

035.jpg Running Man (B)

Escape a chase off board in career mode

 

A chase occurs when you enter a No Skate Zone and grab the attention of a Security Guard. There will be a red arrow moving around the sides, the bigger the arrow gets the closer that person is. Even if you expect a red arrow, the Security Guard is overtly aggressive in that the moment he comes into view, he would already have tackled you to the ground.

 

By far the easiest way to get this is to call Big Black for backup whenever you're in a No-Skate Zone. Guards will have their hands full dealing with him giving you the perfect opportunity to walk off without a scratch. To do this, just enter the zone and attract their attention, then run away on foot. With Big Black on your beck and call, you can take your time running away.

 

The two best locations to use are The Bank Job (as seen in the video) or SBM Mag Minute. You must cancel the challenge before you can attempt the trophy.

 

Note: You don't need to start getting chased on foot, just escape on foot for it to count.

 

Here's a video I made:

 

 

036.jpg DIY (B)

Spend 30 minutes moving objects in career mode

 

This should come naturally when constructing community levels and easy ways to suffice with the HoM challenges. I created 10 community levels, so that gives some idea of the length. There is a tutorial Reda presents early in the career. You also learned a bit from Slappy. If not, use :r1: to grab a moveable object and put it in place. Use the directional buttons accordingly. Up to upright object, down to reset object, right to add to session marker so it won’t disappear, and left to cancel the session marker.

 

037.jpg Good Samaritan (B)

Knock down a security guard chasing another skater in career mode

 

You will be introduced to the security guards after a Skateboard Mag Photo Challenge by the name of The Clampdown sees a skater get knocked down as he tries to grind a rail. These guys are no joke, they will tackle you on sight and rob you of your hard earned money. To earn this trophy, you must enter a No Skate Zone and try to follow a skater around until they either attract the attention of a Security Guard or you incur their wrath and bait them towards your fellow skater.

 

The easiest way to earn this trophy is during Braydon's Pro Challenge BS Roll. In this challenge, you will be tasked to follow Lucas around San Van while staying within 150 feet of him. Near the end of the Challenge, he will attract the attention of multiple security guards and it is up to your discretion to either let him get tackled or come to his rescue. If you can knock at least one guard along the way, the trophy will pop.

 

Here's a video I made:

 

 

038.jpg Need for Speed (B)

Maintain maximum speed for 5 seconds in career mode

 

The maximum speed in the game is 45 MPH. You must maintain this speed for a good 5 seconds before either crashing or stopping, altogether. This trophy can be earned at any point in the game either through Deathraces or via exploration of areas. Whichever method you prefer, look below for more information. This trophy can stack with Juggling Chainsaws.

 

The earliest you can earn this trophy is in the second Deathrace, Traffic King. On your way to the end of the course, if you avoid bumping into cars or wiping out, you will earn this before you reach the finish line. You must keep your speed intact either by holding down on the Right Stick or by holding one of the trigger buttons, :l2: or :r2:.

 

In reference to the video below, Cougar Mountain is an alternate location, wherein this trophy can be earned. This location is unlocked early on in the game and will be the most used location for the Deathraces. If you maintain your speed in the Cougar Mountain held Deathraces, then you could earn this trophy there. What you want to do is Trick out every so often and hold your board with either trigger button (:l2: + :r2:) to hold this speed down the mountain's hillside. Be wary of any cars and to always turn from a great distance away, to avoid skidding.

 

Note: As stated in the description, this must be done in the Career Mode.

039.jpg Sandbag (B)

Break at least 15 bones in a single wipeout in career mode

 

To break your bones, you must either do an intentional Wipeout (:l3: + :r3: + :l2: + :r2:) or wipeout by crashing. Breaking 15 bones can be done via the Hall of Meat Challenges or by bailing on specific Landmarks e.g. SV Dam. This is by far the most enjoyable to attain trophy, you will most likely get this while going for the challenges or by accident. There are a couple challenges that inquire more than 15 bones to be broken, so this will be earned in accordance with that.

 

The most popular location to use is the SV Dam, coincidentally this is also the quickest way. Open up the Challenge Map by pressing Start, go to Locations, then click Cross on Landmarks, then pick the SV Dam to continue. Note: This location is unlocked by getting the cover of Thrasher.

 

Unlike the method shown in Bronze Need for Speed, you will want to perform an Intentional Wipeout on this location. You will need to place a marker (:l1: + :down:) for easy access. After placing a Marker, jump over the SV Dam and do an Intentional Wipeout. You must then, flail your body around using any of the 4 Body Tweaks. Body Tweaks can be performed by flicking the :rs: in any direction (up, down, left, and right) and hope you can break more than 15 bones in a single wipeout.

 

Note: This trophy as stated in the description must be done in the Career Mode.

 

Here's a video I made:

 

 

040.jpg Gender Bender (B)

Change your skater's gender

 

You can get this upon starting the game, if you want to play as a girl like I did or get the trophy out of the way, instead. Just remember that some clothes are only for a specific gender and will result in losing some, until you change back. If you choose to get later, go to edit skater => body modifications => gender => accept and the trophy should unlock. Note that people will comment on how you dress online, I got three phone numbers, very awkward and a lot of comments on my skater's look. It's mostly an all-male community so if you're a girl going for the plat, then either play as a male skater or change your privacy settings and ignore any messages as people tend to get creepy online.

041.jpg Grasshopper (B)

Perform one grass gap of at least 10 meters or 30 feet in career mode

 

This can be earned anywhere in the game but the earliest place you can accomplish this in is via the Own the Spot Location, Off Street. You are going to want to turn around and go up as far as you can before being instructed to return to the location. From here, you are going to want to set up a Marker (:l1: + :down:) and then head towards the spot. To Return to your Marker, you must open up your Cell Phone with :l1:, then press Up. There are a lot of pedestrians around here so try to avoid running into them. Be careful on manoeuvring your Board, as you can ram into a car or a nearby obstacle by accident.

 

When you reach the spot you must try to aim over the grass. There are 2 sets of ledges you can grind on here and a smooth surface where you can land on, this zone is your objective. If you crash, you will still earn this trophy so long as you landed on the ground before you bailed. This can take multiple tries, but that is okay as it takes practice to get it just right. Once you have garnered enough speed, all you have to worry about is dodging obstacles and pedestrians until you can see the small ramp. You must avoid hitting the trees or performing flashy moves e.g. Laser Flips, 180s-540s, or Footplants. The further you go, the better your odds. Best of luck!

 

Note: This trophy as stated in the description must be done in the Career Mode.

 

Here's a video I made:

 

 

042.jpg Stairmaster (B)

Perform one stair gap of at least 12 meters or 36 feet in career mode

 

I got this during a photo challenge for Thrasher. Its called "3rd Set's a Charm". You will need to gap the 3rd set of stairs, which just happens to fit the requirement. The way I tackled it was ollie the 1st set, then ollie to the wall and slid down rather than gap the 2nd set, then use the speed to gap over the last and final set with 36-40 feet. If you complete it, either retry or continue and redo it either with a set marker to try out or press :square: in challenge map => career => thrasher => then click the photo challenge to retry. It requires some timing and speed but otherwise, it shouldn't be a hassle.

 

043.jpg Uninsurable (B)

Break 100 bones in career mode

 

If you keep wiping out at high speeds, crashing into cars, or bail at the worst times this should come naturally. You will also get this trophy just by doing the Hall of Meat challenges as breaking bones and bailing in different ways are a necessity towards it. The best places I recommend to try this is in SV Dam, Lindley Tower, and the Big Spill. All of those require some HoM challenges to be completed to unlock. You won’t receive a message for every bone you break, only if a HoM challenge is completed or you surpass a previous record. You can always check the stats menu in Skate.Profile: Career to check bones broken. The trophy will pop randomly if you keep bailing at high speeds, falling at high heights, bailing in any way or completing HoM challenges.

046.jpg Taste The Mongo (S)(H)

Mongo Push 5000 times in career mode

 

This trophy is cumulative. This is affected your stance of choice. Regular stance leads with the left foot, goofy leads with the right. The main difference between a Push and a Mongo Push is that a Mongo Push is using the front foot to move and pick up speed. Meanwhile, a Push is using the back foot to move and pick up speed. This is also affected by Hippy Jump rotations.

 

Mongo Pushes:

 

:square: for Regular

:cross: for Goofy

 

Pushes:

 

:cross: for Regular

:square: for Goofy

 

You can always check your progress in the Statistics Menu, just go to Skate.Profile: Career and scroll down to see the current progress. It’s detailed under “Mongo Pushes” below Pushes, near the bottom of the Statistics Menu. Although, it is not difficult this trophy can be annoying to grind if you opted on using Pushes, instead. Ideally, playing the game from the start using only Mongo Pushes rather than Pushes to pick up speed will cut the grinding in half.

 

If you want a quick way to do it, just play Deathraces. You’ll need speed to win, anyhow. There is no shortcut to this trophy except beating everything the game has to offer and this should unlock, eventually. The more often you use it, the better your chances.

 

Note: As stated in the description, this must be done in the Career Mode.

016.jpg Perfectionist (G)

Complete all paths in career mode

 

You will need to obtain all this for ‘Perfectionist’ to unlock. See here for a more detailed walkthrough: LINK

 

  1. Get both magazine covers (Thrasher and Skateboard Mag)
    The challenges needed are already listed in each designated location, to further unlock the coverage, you will need to complete some film challenges, a few pro challenges to get the ball rolling for SBM. For Thrasher, you will need to find all 7 pools, drain them, then complete a photo challenge afterwards. Thrasher will take some time and practice, as requirements are a bit confusing, just hang in there.
     
     
  2. Get all sponsors (Board, Shoe, Truck, Wheels)
    In order to obtain all sponsors you must first complete all requirements which are: completing all Street Contests, Tranny Contests, Cover of Thrasher and Cover of Skateboard Magazine. Whichever you do last will unlock the trophy and designated trophy for the challenge completed.
     
     
  3. Beat all Tranny Contests
    These will all seem easy to you if you like doing tricks for no apparent reason. no skill really needed, just land combos every now and again, like flip to grind to flip to flip to flip. All 3 flips while grinding, if possible. You can also land inverts before getting air on a halfpipe; body flips, spins, and fliptricks while in mid-air. All this accounts to it, as its a jam session. A good example if struggling play this online and practice with people.
     
     
  4. Beat all Street Contests
    Same as above but this applies to combos (lines) which are tricks done before landing or stopping if you can use a manual to your advantage. The manual method nets you a lot of points but requires a fast speed, and tricks to be performed consecutively with manuals to keep the flow going. So an example is shuv-it to manual to heelflip to manual to 360 flip to manual etc. To land a manual press down on the right stick gently to land, too fast and nothing will happen, press gently upwards for a nose manual. Both are essential if trying to tackle quickly but require a lot of skill, timing and knowledge of tricks. Again, check online for examples, usually found in Spot matches, Best Trick matche, or jam sessions. If you’re a noob like me, just make a small combo using the rails or ramps to your advantage. Also note of possible work-arounds presented either above or near you. Always be cautious, and if getting beaten by a rival, either shut him down with a quick trick or restart to get a higher score trick. Remember that you must win 1st in at least two, as it’ll be hard to come-back if you won only one.
     
     
  5. Purchase the Monster Clubhouse Property
     
     
  6. Win all Deathraces
    It is unclear whether this is necessary, but the Money Grinding here can make you rich early on in the game. You can make up to $85,000 per race.
     
     
  7. Completed all Demos for your board sponsor
    There are only 2 demos, which will be presented to you randomly, these may be done anywhere and have a time limit/retry feature. If they don't have time limits be sure to take your time and land slowly and cautiously. If they do, don't rush, but make sure you know the tricks needed for requirements and how to perform them. I'll add more info and videos as they become necessary.
     
     
  8. Finish the Team challenges "Streety Mcstreet" and "Air BLAOW!"
    These challenges are tricky but easy with a video, as theres at least one or two requirements that sound impossible. Best to do early before the fundraiser is presented and these are blocked for the time being. You'll need three be sure to at least do one of these or both, if possible. Don't hesitate after everything is completed and be lost and confused on it. Here are two videos:

    Here are requirements:
     
    1. Fliptrick to grind to Fliptrick (Heelflip to rail to heelflip or shuvit out)
    2. Nosemanual to Fliptrick to Manual (The video shows a quick and easy way, requires good timing though, you need to be idle move upwards with :r3: to nosemanny then flip out with a heelflip or shuvit then land with a downwards :r3: once flipped to land on cue. very easy, yet tricky)
    3. Grind to turn (Just turn using the right stick to a 180 degree and gently come down to count)

Here are Requirements:

 

  1. 540 Tweaked Grab(Just spin 3 times around with :r3: and be sure to press :r3: any direction when holding :r2: or :l2:, and land for it to count.)
  2. 360 Fliptrick (A basic move should unlock with the 1st requirements or by accident, very basic)
  3. 720 Anything (You'll need a lot of speed and turn quickly very fast, use a shuvit or heelfip as they're easier to land, you can also land in a footplant to get an added turn but must be landed perfectly or you'll trip and fall, and have to retry, do this first.)

Ollies and Nollies aren't considered fliptricks and will not count.

 

Note: The Hall of Meat challenges are not necessary for this trophy, neither are the pro challenges, although they have their respected individual trophies.

Definetly a big step up from the old trophy guide. It's well written, and I like how it brings some attention to the online issues that have plagued my experience. Nice detail and hopefully it can bring new people to play the game.

 

Much appreciated, but you're only describing the roadmap thus far. I made the online issue section in the roadmap in hope people who have the same problem as you can hopefully go online. Besides, it tends to differ as it was my ps3 which prevented me, now I have the plat. Hope you get the same feeling and the plat.

I am planning on getting the imported German copy of the copy, if anyone has it and could confirm for me whether it is region-locked and other important changes to add to the guide, please post here so I can add it to the guide.

 

Yes the game is region locked, but hey at least it's a stacking (P). One good thing you should mention in the guide about the stacking platinums is that all ranked trophies auto pops once you have completed one freeskate activity. That saves some hours of grinding at least. Tho you still need to do all the freeskating.

 

One other thing you should mention in the guide is that the DLC for this game can glitch the Active Skater trophy. The DLC gives some more freeskating activites and some other stuff witch means you can end up with 149/153 activities, unless your boosting partner has got the DLC aswell.. In my opinion is better to spend the cash on Skate 3. :)
