Drain the Fountain THPS 1+2: How to Complete

Drain the Fountain THPS 1+2 is one of the classic challenges from the original games making a return in the remaster.

Activision pulled no punches with the remaster and re-release of Tony Hawk's Pro-Skater. All the old levels, challenges, and even soundtrack favorites have made a comeback to wide acclaim from fans. This includes the "Drain the Fountain" trick in Philadelphia. Fortunately, for those new to the franchise, the challenge, itself, is pretty simple.

Drain the Fountain THPS 1+2: How to Complete

First, you'll need to load into the Philadelphia level. This is where the Drain the Fountain challenge takes place. As you start your run, keep your eyes peeled for a balcony that should come up on your right.

Make your way to that balcony which will eventually lead to a skate-able staircase. Hop up and grind down the stairs on the rail. This time, you'll be looking for a series of valves. They should be obvious. Once you spot them, prepare yourself for one final maneuver.

The final piece of this is to skate directly over the valves. Water may shoot out from them. Don't worry, this is normal. This will cause them to turn and then, in their turn, drain the fountain in the very middle of the level. Draining the fountain makes it grind-able and gives you yet another area to rack up points toward your next level.
