Pinball FX3

Step 1: Spell "SMUGGLE" by shooting the left ramp

Each time you successfully shoot the ball across this ramp you will light 1 letter. Shooting the ramp 7 times will spell SMUGGLE. Hit the ball up the ramp again to put the ball into the crane machine.

Step 2: Use the crane machine to drop the ball into the secret compartment

First off, look at the dot matrix display (DMD) and it will show you which compartment to put the ball into. It will look similar to Connect-Four game.  There will be a 4x4 grid of circles and one of them on the DMD will be lit.  You must drop the ball into hole (compartment) that matches the DMD.

Crane Machine Controls

• Left flipper moves the crane down (Y axis)
• Right flipper moves the crane to the right (X axis)
• After a 10 second period of time the crane will start to reset itself (in case you went too far)
• The button drops the ball.
• If you wait too long the ball will drop on its own.

Tip: Use the shadow of the ball over the compartments to help you judge when to drop it.

Step 3: Repeat steps 1 & 2, two more times to lock 3 balls in the "RIGHT" compartment

If you dropped 3 balls where the DMD indicated, then the trophy will pop. If you dropped all three balls but one or more were not in the correct spot (matching the DMD) then you will have to try again from the beginning.

I found this to be the hard, because the crane controls are not easy.
