This article will guide players on how to complete all Goals in the Alcatraz level of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4, released on July 11, 2025.
Collect SKATE
Letter S
The S-K-A-T-E letters in Alcatraz can be found in the Lighthouse Courtyard area. From the starting point, head left to reach the South Side spawn point, then take the elevator in front of you to access the courtyard.
Once you arrive, turn left and head down the stairs. Start grinding the rail at the bottom to collect the S letter.
Letter K & Letter A
Continue grinding along the same rail to pick up the K and then the A letters.
Letter T
After you get the A letter, jump onto another rail on the left side and grind it to go up to the top of the wall. That’s where you’ll find the T letter.
Letter E
Now, jump down from the top of the wall and walk forward toward the other wall. The E letter is near the wall at the end of the area.
Nosegrind the Foghorn Rail in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater
From the starting point, go straight ahead until you reach the end, then turn around. Skate up the slope to get to the Side spawn point. Stay on the left side and follow the edge until you reach the foghorn. The foghorn is in the far right corner of the parade grounds area. To complete the goal, you need to nosegrind the rail that goes around the foghorn.

Photobomb 3 Groups of Tourists
To finish the “Photobomb 3 Groups of Tourists” goal in THPS 3+4, you need to find three different groups of tourists around the Alcatraz level and photobomb their photos.
Photobomb #1
The first group of tourists is on the ship that’s floating to the right of the spawn point.
Photobomb #2
From the starting point, go left to reach the South Side spawn point. From there, head left to the parade grounds. Stay near the side to find another group of tourists.
Photobomb #3
The last group of tourists is just beside the lighthouse.
Spine Transfer into the Water Tower
The Water Tower in Alcatraz can be found in the Lighthouse Courtyard area. From the starting point, head left to reach the South Side spawn point, then take the elevator in front of you to access the Lighthouse courtyard.
Once you arrive, turn right and head behind the prison building to find a water tank.
Behind the prison building, there are two pools. One has water in it, and the other is empty. First, grind around the edge of the empty pool. You’ll hit a valve that drains the water from the other pool.
Next, start from the pool that’s farthest from the water tower. Do a spine transfer into the pool that’s now empty, then do another spine transfer into the water tower.
Release the Prisoner
To complete the goal “Release the Prisoner” in Alcatraz, you need to find five trash cans scattered around the level and knock them over. You’ll receive the cellblock keys from the last trash can you tip over.
Trash Cans #1
From the starting point, go straight ahead to find the first trash bin. It’s at the end of the path, right in front of a building.
Trash Cans #2-3
Turn around and go up the slope to reach the Side spawn point. Stay on the left side and follow the edge to find two more trash bins. The second one is near a traffic cone, and the third one is just before the stairs.
Trash Cans #4
From the previous location, go up the stairs to find another trash bin near the railing.
Trash Cans #5
From the previous location, turn around and go up the slope to reach the lighthouse. The last trash bin is right in front of the lighthouse.
After knocking down the last trash bin, you’ll receive the key. Then, proceed to the prison cell located opposite the lighthouse to complete the goal and trigger the cutscene.
