How to Coffin in Skate 4

by

Performing tricks is a key part of Skate, often called Skate 4 by fans, and it makes exploring the streets of San Van twice as enjoyable. Without them, the game would feel quite boring! Luckily, this new version of the game offers a ton of different skateboard stunts you can pull off, either by yourself or with friends.

Okay, so in the Skate 4 tutorials, there’s this trick called the Coffin, and honestly, it took me a minute to get the hang of! It’s not *super* hard once you know what you’re doing, but the controls felt a little crazy at first. I found a guide that really helped me nail it, and I wanted to share it – it explains how to do the Coffin easily, whether you’re using an Xbox controller or a PlayStation one.

How to do Coffin in Skate 4

The Coffin is a skateboarding trick where a rider grabs their board and lies flat on top of it while still moving. It gets its name because the position – lying on your back with arms outstretched – resembles someone lying in a coffin when viewed in animation.

You’ll need to do this trick in several spots, like the “Play Dead” tutorial in the AR Program, which asks you to land a Coffin off the ramp. To perform a Coffin in Skate 4, quickly press L2, R2, X, and A all at the same time on your controller.

If you’re unsure where the L2 and R2 buttons are, they’re the triggers located on the top left and right sides of the back of the controller.

Don’t confuse these with the L1 and R1 buttons. The triggers you should use are the ones your index fingers comfortably land on when you grip the controller as if it were a steering wheel.

If you’re using a PlayStation controller (PS4 or PS5), press and hold L2 and R2, then press Square and X at the same time. If that doesn’t work, try pressing Square and X instead of X and Square. To complete the ‘Play Dead’ goal, make sure your character is already doing the Coffin move when you launch off the ramp.

How to Use Sketepedia in Skate 4

You can find most trick instructions in *Skate*’s in-game guide, Skatepedia. The guide lists the buttons for The Coffin trick as LT and RT, but that’s incorrect – you actually need to press L2 and R2. This mistake in Skatepedia can be frustrating for players on Xbox or PC using an Xbox controller who are trying to learn the trick.

You can open Skatepedia by pressing ESC and choosing it from the menu. This gives you a complete list of all the stunts. It’s a good idea to check the stunt list before tackling challenges or AR Program goals, even early in the game.
