Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 has tons of gorgeous levels filled with an incredible amount of content. San Francisco is one of our favorites in the game, and there are a ton of secrets to uncover in this one. The San Francisco level has the standard collectibles you expect from every level in the game, but it also has one that is surprisingly bizarre and dark, and something you’d never expect to find. 

While playing the level, you’ve no doubt stumbled across Painter Neal. He’s a cool little painter who paints the board by the docks. You may have seen him hanging by the board, moments away from falling into the water. What you don’t know is that a deadly shark is swimming by the docks, and it will attack Painter Neal. 

The shark attack is fated to happen, but there’s a way for you to save Painter Neal so he lives to paint another day. The method to save him, of course, involves skateboarding, and it is fairly complicated, but our guide is here to help.

As stated earlier, there is a way to save Painter Neal, and of course, it involves skateboarding. In order to save the painter, follow the steps given below: 

  • Boot up the game and load into the San Francisco level. You will spawn on the street. 
  • Once you spawn in, take a left and make your way towards the skate park. The park meets the road to its right, and that’s where you need to go. 
  • On the pavement where the park meets the road, you’ll find a giant globe. 
  • Use the rope attached to the globe and grind in a circle around the globe. This will cause the rope to break. 
  • Get off the globe and circle around to the back. Stand right behind the globe and jump at it from the back. This will cause the globe to topple over, and it will roll down the road and into the docks, crashing right into the shark. Painter Neal will then be safe, living to paint another day.
