How to unlock the Glitterous achievement in Shaun White Skateboarding - Definitive Guide
EDIT: Part 4 is online now (:
Ministry Quarter
1) After you unlock the ground-shaping ability look in the construction site for a green surface. Then shape it downwards into a sewer drain, where you’ll find this chest.
2) In the bottom-right section of the Ministry quarter, open up your map and look for a rectangular stretch of roads. The treasure is on top of a building at the upper-right of this rectangle- directly above a Bob’s Skate Shop. The top of the building has a flashing ‘Oakley’ billboard and a shaping-Street.
3) This is on the side of the roof of the big building at the top of the ministry quarter map. You’ll need to ride the elevator to access this- for reference, it’s the same building that the ‘Flow challenge’ is located on.
4) This one is located on the left hand part of the map, on the roof of the building with the unicorn on it (the same building you can access by the sewer pipe. To reach it, you must use the shaping-rail located across the street from it.
Midtown Quarter
1) On the roof of the building next to the gas station. You must jump off of a small ramp to land here.
2) On top of a roof at the bottom-right of this quarter, right above a garage you can walk in. To reach it you must grind on a shaping-rail located across the street.
3) By the loop in the skatepark (near the pier) there will be a green section on the ground that you can shift up or down. Shift it down to reveal a sewer passage with the chest.
4) Right across the street from the Bob's Skate Shop (near the loop you can skate into), there is a garage with this chest inside of it.
Downtown Quarter
1) You’ll pass right by this one during the “Rescue Shawn” quest when you infiltrate the building. (The Bureau of Edification, located at the bottom-right of this quarter. It is located on the roof.)
2) This is at the top section of the quarter. Look for the V-shaped intersection of two streets- this chest is located on an awning directly above it. To reach it you must use shaping-rails and shaping-streets to reach the building across from it, at which point you can grind across.
3) This one is right near the 'Too much happiness' challenge on the floor near some low ledges. (Credit x InSoMniA o)
The Rising Island
1) This is located in the upper dome of the “spinning top” ride (probably not the best description for it- it's the large structure you'll see as you enter the main gates of the park). The way I got up to it was this: Facing the main entrance of the amusement park from the inside, look for a shaping-rail to the left (right by the human flipper challenge). Direct this to the curved structure supported by two pillars. On top of this structure are 2 vert ramps. Gain a lot of speed on them and then in the air create savior rails by pressing B (you’ll unlock this ability late in the story) until you can safely land on the platform on top of the ride. Alternatively, you can use the shaping-rail located on the spiraling blue rail near the main entrance.
2)This one is located in the roller-coaster plaza. As you enter the plaza with the pirate ship to your back, look ahead and slightly to the right for a building with two red-ramps on it. On the right side of this building is a sign that reads The Headless Woman. To reach the rooftop of this building where the chest is located, you must get on top of the building across the street from it and shape your way across.
I can now complete this game :D
Thankfully this one isn't too bad because there are only 13 chests in the game. I'm going to try and describe where they are as best as I can but note that I got these without any help, so they shouldn't be hard to find at all. I suggest waiting until after the game to find what you are missing because you will be using all your abilities that you learned during the story. To find out where you are missing chests, hit the button to go to a map, then press to go to the main map and move the cursor over each section On the bottom there is a line that tells you what you are missing.
Midtown
- Right across the street from Bob's Skate Shop there is a garage that's wide open.
- If you are facing the large ship on this map you want to go to your right and away from the water. Here you will find some ground you can shape. Shape it down and there is a chest.
- Near the gas station there is a roof that you can get onto and it will be there. Facing the gas station use shaping rails to get on top of the awning at the gas station and then ride towards the gas station to the roof right above it. You'll find it back here.
- Inside of a garage in the southeastern corner of the map. Use shaping rails to get it.
Downtown
- When doing the mission where you rescue Shaun White you will pass right by this when getting into the building that Shaun is held.
- This one is kind of confusing. Go to the north-central part of the map and find an intersection that looks like a V. From here you will see an awning but you need to get onto the building across from this awning and grind/shape your way around to get this.
Rising Island
- The first one is right after you get into the main part of the park. As soon as you enter you will see a large tower like structure with two shaping ramps inside of it. You will need shaping rails to get here and it's kind of a big line you have to set up. Once you get onto the tower you can go inside the dome and the chest is right in the center.
- The second, and last, chest in this area is by the roller coaster. You want to get to the right of the roller coaster (if you were facing it as you entered the area) and there is a row of small buildings. One says "The Headless Woman" on it. Just use the nearby shaping rail to get on top and it's right there.
Ministry Quarter
- As soon as you learn the ground shaping ability you will be put in front of an area where you can use it. Shift the ground down and ride in for the chest.
- Noted above under one of the Shaun White Challenges you will come across another chest while riding around the large ministry building (the one you can rid the elevator to the top)
- Find Bob's Skate Shop in this area and it's right on top of that building. You can use nearby shaping rails to get up there.
- Find a building with a unicorn on it in the southeastern corner of the map. There is a shaping rail directly across that you can use to get up there.
When doing collectibles I normally recommend to leave all collectibles until the end of the game. Fortunately there are only 13 secret chests in this game. All the chests are pretty easy to find, and fairly spread out. If you find one during the story mode then open it up right away. The locations of the secret chests are as follows: (Thanks to MCoreBE for the video guide)
