The only personal information I'll give out is that I'm currently 21 years old and live in Ohio. The following websites have permission to host my FAQ as of the current update date. www.GameFAQs.com ---------------------------=== [ UPDATE HISTORY ] ===-------------------------- -------------------------=== [ Part 2: Game Basics ] ===----------------------- First off, your general text scrolling features! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A button: Scroll through current text. Gets annoying when your assistant talks during an operation when you dont want her to. - button: Skips all current text. Yay? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other buttons uses are as follows. These controls assume you use a Nunchuk. If you do not have one, go get one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A/B button - Use whatever tool you currently have selected. See below for how to use each individual tool + button - Pause the game. Home button - Obvious. Nunchuck Control stick - Select surgical tools. Z/C button - Use in conjuction with A/B to activate healing touch. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, notice that little orange pointer on the screen when you're pointing your Wiimote at it? Thats the starting point for every tool you use when you choose to use it. Trauma Center: New Blood is divided into Seven episodes. This FAQ only covers the Operation portion of each Episode, not the story sections before each operation. If you want those, there's some guy writing a guide for that exclusively. -----------------------------=== [ GAME SCREEN ] ===--------------------------- ___________________________________________________________ [ 111 222 ] [ 333 ] [ ] [ 666 ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ 444 ] [ 4 4 ] [ 444 555 ] ���������������������������������������������������������� 1 - Your patients vitals. Numbers range from 00-99. 00 basicly means your patient is about to die. 99 is the best your vitals can be. 2 - Time limit. This is usually 5 minutes. When you run out of time you fail the current operation regardless of how far you are into it. 3 - Operation Score. This generally increases whenever you do something right. COOLs get the most points, followed by GOOD, then BAD. OKs sometimes get points but not that often, and give only around 5-10 points each. 4 - Tools. You use your nunchuk control stick to pick which tool you are currently using. 5 - Your assistant and the annoying text bar. Remember to press A to go through her text whenever TALK replaces your pointer. Sometimes helpful, sometimes not. 6 - Chain amount. This increases whenever you get OK, GOOD, or COOL repeatedly. Generally required to get high ranks. Whenever you get a BAD or something happens to the patient that isnt supposed to, this gets reset. --------------------------------=== [ TOOLS ] ===------------------------------ And now for the fun part. Starting from the top going clockwise. =============================================================================== ----------------------------=== { ANTIBIOTIC GEL } ===------------------------- Gel is basicly a cure-all in this game. Well not really all, but it helps everything. To use gel, hold down A or B and apply over where you want. Gel instantly heals very small lacerations, and small holes caused by burning away small tumors and polyps. You also use it to apply synthetic membranes in certain operations. By far the most important use in gel is using it over the trace line for your initial incision, and geling over said incision after its been sutured after an operation. You must do this for good ranks. -------------------------------=== { SYRINGE } ===----------------------------- First of all, no, you do not jab things with this. Bad game player! BAD! The Syringe is used to inject Stabilzer and various other serums into the patient's body. To use, hold A or B over the vial of liquid you wish to inject and move it onto the patients body and hold A or B to inject. Note that the serums must be injected in a specific location. Stabilzer raises your patients vitals by quite a bit. A full syringe generally heals 12 vitals. You can inject around 4-5 loads before running out of Syringe uses assuming you do so non-stop. Of course there's various other serums, like anti-inflammitory. But I'll get to those when the operation requiring them begins. ------------------------------=== { STITCHES } ===----------------------------- Stitches are obviously used to suture cuts. To use, point at the start of a cut then hold down A or B, and drag the pointer in a zig-zag pattern over the cut. The zig-zag doesnt have to be perfect, but the more it is the better. Stitches also have a few other uses in the game, but we'll get to those when the time comes. --------------------------------=== { DRAIN } ===------------------------------ Look at the name, then think of what this can possibly be used for? That's right, removing fluids! (Mostly blood, but also cytoplasm from large tumors.) To use this tool, hold A or B over the fluid you wish to drain until the OK message appears. Pretty easy to explain eh? Theres not much more to this tool. ----------------------------=== { SURGICAL LASER } ===------------------------- Rules of using the laser: 1. Do not play Etch-a-sketch on your patient. In a more serious tone, this tool is used to remove little tumors or polyps as I like to call them. To use this tool, like most, hold A or B over the affected area until you get an OK. Generally you'll only have 6-7 seconds of non-stop laser power. -------------------------=== { ULTRASOUND/MAGNIFIER } ===---------------------- Another rather obvious tool. You use Ultrasound to locate objects under the skin. They will generally appear as shadows, and you'll have to scalpel them out. To use, move the Ultrasound over an area to detect any dark shadows, and if you press A in the area of that shadow, the shadow will remain on screen for about 4 seconds for you to deal with it. The Magnifier is used by selecting the Ultrasound tool, and holding down B to shift your view across the screen by moving the Wii Remote. ------------------------------=== { SCALPEL } ===------------------------------ Rules of using the Scalpel: 1. Do not play Tic-Tac-Toe on your patient. The Scalpel is generally one of the more used tools in your arsenal. Obviously used to make cuts, you use it in your opening incision, and to excise foreign bodies such as tumors. To use, hold A or B and move the Wiimote across the guideline that appears. If there is no guideline, just hold it over what you need to excise. -------------------------------=== { FORCEPS } ===----------------------------- What surgery game could be complete without Forceps? You use this wonderful tool to actually REMOVE foreign bodies. Also, you use this to drag blood vessels together, pinch skin together in the case of large gashes, and other various other things. One of the more uniquely used tools in the game, to use Forceps, you must point at what you intend to use this on, and press both A AND B and hold them down. In the case of removal, you will have to drag the object over to a tray that appears just below your operation score. ----------------------------=== [ OTHER TOOLS ] ===---------------------------- Some tools arent selected via the control stick. They will appear above your other tools in a tray, which you'll just select using A or B when pointing at them. -------------------------------=== { BANDAGE } ===----------------------------- The end all of the operation, this is the tool used to finish every single operation in the game. To use, pick up the bandage with A, point at the beginning of the stitched final cut, then hold A or B and move across the cut with the Wiimote, then release A or B. Once used, the bandage cannot change direction. Be aware of this. ----------------------------=== { DEFIBRILATOR } ===--------------------------- Remember the easy method UtK used for restarting a heart? Completely Abolished. Now you'll use this tool to restart a person's heart. Plus it looks cool on screen. To use, push both your Wiimote and Nunchuck towards the screen until a guage appears above the pads on screen. Press Z and B simulaneously once the guage line reaches the darker parts of the guage, preferably the green. It takes 2 shots of the Light Grey area to restart a heart, but only one green. There is also a point where you have to use a heart massage instead. This is done using the A+B buttons on your remote. You have to press them when the hand icons overlap. It takes around 6-7 successes to revive the heart. ----------------------------=== { HEALING TOUCH } ===-------------------------- Yes, your loved Healing Touch is back. For Markus Vaughn...it still slows down time. Derek has a nice Prodigy. Valerie, however...hers has the ability to temporarily freeze vitals and prevent vital loss...however, she can't gain any either. To use this, Hold down Z and B, then draw a star on screen with the Wiimote. Keep in mind that the Star must be perfect and have only five lines for it to even count. Also, you must start on the lower left. =============================================================================== And thats it for tools and game basics. Now...onto the actual operations! =============================== { 3: EPISODE 1 } ============================== Episode notes: Remember, if you want Story, you arent going to get it. This just covers basic operation procedures for the Hard difficulty only. I'll detail the operation as best I can, with what to expect. Its up to you to do the actual operation though. I cant hold your Wiimote for you. ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE 1-1 ] ===---------------------------- --------------------------=== [ IN A REMOTE TOWN ] ===------------------------- Patient Greg Reinhard is brought in with a large gash and two broken bones that you'll have to rebuild. Starting Vitals: 55 Maximum Vitals: 75 =============================================================================== Phase 1: Pre-incision. Oh boy...this guy is messed up badly compared to the first guy from Second Opinion... First of all, you'll be instructed to raise the patient's vitals. Do so until he reaches around 70. Then you'll be instructed to suture the patient's wounds. There are four of them. Do not try to suture the smaller wounds, it doesn't work on those. After you fix those four wounds however, you'll learn that they can be easily fixed up by rubbing antibiotic gel over them. After you finish cleaning up the chest/shoulder wounds, you'll move down the arm automatically. Gel the line then use the scalpel to make an incision. PHASE 1 COMPLETE =============================================================================== Phase 2: Arm bone repair. All I can say is that after seeing that, thank god I've never had a broken bone in my life. XD Anyway, use your forceps to remove the bone fragments and place them on a tray that appears. The wounds left behind are small enough to use gel to fix them. Whoops, the large piece of bone is still warped, use the forceps to move it back into place. Now you have to replace the bone fragments to reconstruct the bone. Good luck with that. I would help with ASCII, but I'm bad at that. Once you're done fixing the bone, rub gel over the black sections until you exit the wound. Suture the wound when instructed, then use gel on the bleeding stitched area. Once you do that, roll the bandage over it, and then... OPERATION COMPLETE! =============================================================================== I shall now detail ranking for you. Time bonus: Quicker = Higher score. Doesnt mean much in this game though. Vital bonus: Higher vitals at the end = Higher score. Chain bonus: Obvious. Higher chain = Higher score Special bonus: Set parameters that you need to fulfill every operation. Could include time limits, Healing Touch restrictions, and MAX chain. Skill score: Combination of above bonuses. Stage score: The score that was in the upper right at the end of the operation. Operation 1-1 Special Score modifiers: No Mistakes - 1.4x Finish with 4:00:00 remaining - 1.1x MAX Chain 40+ - 1.2x 12+ COOLs - 1.3x ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE 1-2 ] ===---------------------------- -------------------------=== [ MONTGOMERY MEMORIAL ] ===----------------------- Patient Eugene Carlton has multiple tumors in his stomach. By the way, this guy is a big jerk. Starting Vitals: 99 Maximum Vitals: 99 =============================================================================== I'll basicly say this at the start of every operation, maybe with a little joke but, Gel and incise the line. Wait...second operation is in the stomach. AND it deals with tumors. Deja Vu? Anyway...once you're inside you'll have some small mini-tumors to laser off. Be sure you heal the holes left behidn with the gel, they can drain vitals fast if left unattended. After that, use your ultrasound to locate the large tumors. I've assumed before that you've at least tried Second Opinion, but here's the large tumor removal prodecure again in a guideline. Ultrasound -> Click on top of tumor -> Scalpel guideline -> Use on Tumor until OK -> Scalpel second guideline -> Remove tumor with Forceps -> Place membrane on hole -> Gel membrane. The tumor in the first area is around the center-left. Follow the guideline above to remove. Once you get to the second area, you will notice that after you scalpel the second guideline, around 3-5 small tumors may appear. Be sure to laser them and gel the holes they leave behind quickly. OPERATION COMPLETE. =============================================================================== Operation 1-2 Special Score modifiers: No Mistakes - 1.4x MAX Chain 50+ - 1.2x Vitals always 75 -: 1.3x Finish with 4:00:00 Remaining - 1.1x ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE 1-3 ] ===---------------------------- -----------------------------=== [ SNOWSTORM ] ===----------------------------- Patient Blake Crawford got shot with a rifle. I'm honestly surprised the guy was still alive. Starting Vitals: 25 Maximum Vitals: 30 =============================================================================== I didn't expect gunshot victims until Episode 2 O_o... You'll start out with some external wounds. First lets get the blood pools out of the way by using the drain on them. You'll notice below one of them is the bullet entry wound. Use forceps to place a membrane over it ASAP. Another blood pool will form immediately after you gel it in place. Then, deal with the lacerations. There are three total. After you're done, Gel and Incise. OPERATION COMPLETE. Ouch...I'm pretty sure if this type of injury existed in the real world, this guy would be dead. But its not. Drain the blood pools first, there are around 15 of them. Below one of them is a trace line for the scalpel which is where the bullet is located, but wait until you fix the blood pools first. Anyway, trace the scalpel line when given a chance, because blood might form another pool above it, and you can't cut until its gone. When it is, remove the bullet with forceps and place it on the tray. What? The bullet is in two fragments? OH NOES. You get to do the above procedure again, only with a wider trace line...oh wait...a constant noise... Yes, your vitals will be maxed at 10 for the time being. Be quick about everything during this time. Don't be afraid to raise vitals even if the number shows 6 or 7, they can be lowered very fast. Extract the bullet piece IMMEDIATELY when given the chance, then drain a blood pool that forms and place the membrane and gel it. Use the defibrilator to revive the vital line. Read the tools section for how to use it. Anyway once that's done, suture, gel, bandage. Operation complete. =============================================================================== Operation 1-3 Special Score modifiers. No Mistakes - 1.3x 5 COOLs Earned - 1.2x 2 or less Defib. uses - 1.2x Finish with 4:20:00 remaining - 1.3x ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE 1-4 ] ===---------------------------- -----------------------=== [ SORCERY OF SALVATION ] ===------------------------ Note: You may only choose Dr. Vaughn for this operation. Patient Elena Salazar needs some microchips replaced in her pancreas pump to prevent necrosis. Starting Vitals: 99 Maximum Vitals: 99 =============================================================================== At least Elena is a cute nurse...somewhat. Gel and Incise. Anyway first you'll have to deal with some minor hemmoraging. This can be dealt with by rubbing gel over the small blood pools. Now you'll have to laser the glowing blue chips. After that, trace the blue square, then remove the chip with the forceps and replace it with a new one. You have to do four of these. Note: The more chips you've lasered at once, the faster hemmoraging occurs. Fix with gel and only remove a chip when no blood pools remain. After you've replaced all but one chip, LARGE hemmorages appear. Start to drain them...wait...vitals are dropping, A LOT. Cutscene when your vitals reach red. Healing Touch (HT), activate! Those of you who are familiar with Trauma Center know that Vaughn's version of the HT slows down time temporarily. Before you do ANYTHING, Raise vitals to around 30 or whatever you deem safe. This is because vitals will still drop if you attempt to drain the first few blood pools and the patient may die. After you've reached a safe amount of pools, raise vitals to max then finish off the operation by replacing the last chip. Suture, Gel, Bandage. OPERATION COMPLETE. =============================================================================== Operation 1-4 Special Score Modifiers No Mistakes - 1.3x MAX Chain 45+ - 1.2x Finish with 4:15:00 remaining - 1.2x Less than 18 blood pools form - 1.3x ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE 1-5 ] ===---------------------------- -------------------------=== [ AN AGING HOSPITAL ] ===------------------------- Patient Miles Hoover has tumors in his small intestine. Keeping this simple... for now. Starting Vitals: 75 Maximum Vitals: 99 =============================================================================== Poor old guy...Gel and Incise. Remember these red marks? They're called inflammations. Select the new liquid vial next to the stabilizing agent with the syringe and inject it into the red bumps. It takes around 1/2 dose per large bump and 1/4th per small bump. This is an advanced note for the FAQ section but PLEASE for the love of god, do NOT send me E-mails asking how to fix inflammations. Anyway, after you fix those, you have two tumors to find for the time being. Refer to Episode 1-2 for how to fix them. Eh...prelim scan missed something? You don't say... Apparantly magnifier is another word for scroller, start by looking below the area you first dealt with. UH OH, MORE INFLAMMATIONS. Deal with them ASAP. They are much more dangerous than the tumors at the moment. There are a bunch of them spread around the organ. I believe there were around 6-7 large bumps and 20+ small bumps. After you take care of them, you have three more tumors to excise. After you finish that...suture, gel, bandage. Operation complete =============================================================================== Operation 1-5 Special Score Modifiers No Mistakes - 1.3x MAX Chain 52+ - 1.2x Vitals Stayed above 55 - 1.3x Finish with 3:20:00 Remaining - 1.2x ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE 1-6 ] ===---------------------------- -----------------------------=== [ AWAKENING ] ===----------------------------- Patient Catherine Jackson was in an accident at the church. Apparantly suffers from pericardium hemmoraging. Starting Vitals: 45 Maximum Vitals: 65 Note: You are FORCED to use Valerie this operation. =============================================================================== Well lets start...First drain the blood them gel the three minor lacerations. Gel the line and Incise. Oh boy, this is bad. What you generally want to do is use the ultrasound to find hidden hemmorages and use the scalpel to cut out the blood before they cause massive vital loss, but there are a ton of them and they drain vitals very fast. What you might want to do is cut one or two of them, and use the stabilzer until wounds stop appearing. Drain blood and suture any lacerations that have appeared. After that, you'll get to do it again, except with no initial lacerations showing. Be ABSOLUTELY SURE to keep vitals up. Your patient can and WILL die quickly. Drain any blood that appears and suture all lacerations. There should be four. Or dear...that isnt good. Vitals drop to 1... HT Mk II: This one keeps vitals where they are for however long it lasts. This also means you can't raise them. Since this lasts the duration of this next section, you can't really lose now. Just drain blood and suture lacerations when you can. After you finish healing everything, you're free to suture, gel, and bandage to finish this off. Operation Complete. =============================================================================== Operation 1-6 Special Score Modifiers No Mistakes - 1.3x MAX Chain 70+ - 1.2x Finish with 3:40:00 remaining - 1.2x Myocardium tore 2 or less times - 1.3x ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE A-1 ] ===---------------------------- ----------------------------=== [ CHALLENGE 1 ] ===---------------------------- I'm not really going to give you a PRECISE layout since this isn't a story operation, but I'll give you the basic rundown...you have 5 minutes to handle three patients. FYI: GOODs DO break your chain. BE EXTRA CAREFUL. Patient 1: This patient has glass shard wounds and lacerations. Lacerations spawn once the amount of wounds are reduced to a certain point. More shards also spawn past a certain point, but only once. Some lacerations may hemmorage. Patient 2: This patient has an imflammed tumor ridden intestine. Get rid of the imflammed areas ASAP. There are six tumors total. Mini tumors/inflammations may spawn once you actually remove a tumor, so use the laser or anti-inflame to get rid of them ASAP. Gel any holes left behind by mini-tumors. Patient 3: Great, more lacerations and hemmoraging, but you have a MUCH larger area to work with, thus less room for error as far as time is concerned. You WILL likely have to use your HT here. The scoring system for challenges are different, so I'll run it down quickly. Vital/Time/Chain bonus: Already explained. Cool Bonus: COOLs x 100 Good Bonus: GOODs x 50 Patient Bonus: Patients saved x 1000 No Miss Bonus: Multiplier. 1.0x if you miss once. Anyway there you have it. Operation Complete. =============================== { 4: EPISODE 2 } ============================== As is the trend, Episode 2 tends to be more difficult. ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE 2-1 ] ===---------------------------- --------------------------=== [ AN ICY WELCOME ] ===--------------------------- Patient Dwayne Mayfield has tumors in his left lung. Also Pus is included. Pus is disgusting... Starting Vitals: 65 Maximum Vitals: 85 =============================================================================== Oh boy...Gel and Incise... The icky green stuff you see is Pus. Drain it ASAP or Inflammations may appear. Now, you need to search for and excise tumors. Be careful because once a tumor has actually been removed, pus will rapidly appear for a few seconds. You have two tumors in the first area. First area? That's right, use the "magnifier" to look around. Go down first. Oh boy...heavily infected area. I suggest using your HT ASAP especially on hard. The vitals can drain REALLY fast if the pus adds up. There are three tumors down here. Be sure to deal with the pus that appears after each tumor is actually removed. There's one more tumor above the original area. Get rid of it, then you can suture, gel, and bandage to finish this off. OPERATION COMPLETE. =============================================================================== Operation 2-1 Special Score Modifiers No Mistakes - 1.5x Finish with 3:20:00 remaining - 1.1x MAX Chain 75+ - 1.2x Pus forms 50 times or less - 1.2x ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE 2-2 ] ===---------------------------- ---------------------------=== [ THE PACEMAKER ] ===--------------------------- Patient Chloe Nichols needs a replacement pacemaker for her...you know, heart. Starting Vitals: 99 Maximum Vitals: 99 =============================================================================== Doesn't she look like a twig? Oh wait...young girl...right. Gel and Incise. This first part happens automatically...but now you get to learn how to massage a heart. Press A+B when the hands overlap...generally when they flash white. You have to do this around 5-7 times before the vitals recover to around 20. You will be doing this every 20-25 seconds throughout the operation. Now, what you want to do is cut the lead where it is attached to the heart. The lead is the technical term for the yellow wire. Use forceps to move them out of the way, then suture the area where blood appears. You may need to drain blood. After that, place the leads, then the pacemaker itself on the right tray. Before I forget, for the five seconds or so leading up to another heart massage you cannot do ANYTHING, including raise vitals. Attempting to do so will always result in a miss. Anyway, place the new pacemaker where the old one was, and then place the new leads. Use ultrasound to find shadows, then use the scalpel to cut it and drain the blood that appears. Use forceps to move the new lead to the area where blood is hemmoraging, then quickly suture that area. Do the same for the other. Regardless of timing, after you place the second lead, you must immediately do a heart massage. Suture the second lead After that, its a matter of...suture, gel, bandage. Operation Complete. =============================================================================== Operation 2-2 Special Score Modifiers No Mistakes - 1.4x Finished with 3:30:00 remaining - 1.3x MAX Chain 55+ - 1.2x Heart Massaged 26 times or less - 1.1x =============================================================================== ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE 2-3 ] ===---------------------------- --------------------------=== [ DEPENDABLE PAIR ] ===-------------------------- Patient Ricardo Garcia got hit by a car, and thus has lacerations, hemmoraging, broken bones, and a damaged spleen. Heh...spleen. *Is shot* Starting Vitals: 15 Maximum Vitals: 80 =============================================================================== Gel and...wait, we already start IN the organ? ...that's new. Anyway use the defibrilator to get his heart working again, then suture the large gash immediately. If you played a previous Trauma Center, you'll know how to fix this, but the order is to drain all blood, use forceps to pinch the side of the wound together, then suture it. Be quick, because the wound may reopen. Anyway after that, raise vitals to max, then try to remove a bone fragment. Oh noes, more wounds. Quickly drain any blood, and suture whenever you get the chance. Don't forget to keep your vitals up. They come in two waves of about three lacerations each. After that, you're free to remove the rest of the bone fragments. Be sure to gel each small wound where the fragments were. Now to reconstruct the ribs. I highly suggest you place the wider pieces first if you have the chance. Its much easier to see where they go compared to the smaller width pieces. After you finish placing all five pieces, you'll have to use the Defibrilator again. Oh wait, we're not done yet! Many MANY more hemmorages and lacerations appear. If, on hard, you are skilled enough to do this without HT, I salute you. I HIGHLY suggest you use it. Your patient's vitals will drop faster than a rock. Did I mention more wounds spawn after you clear up the first set of hemmorages? There around 11-12 wounds total. Gel is highly effective in temporarily slowing down vital loss, so be sure to use it before you suture anything. More blood pools may randomly form while you suture, and they take off around 8 points per appearance. Be sure to remove the bone fragment from the large cut at the bottom before trying to suture it. After that, place the remaining fragment at the lower-most rib, then gel the fragments in place. Then you can suture, gel, bandage. OPERATION COMPLETE =============================================================================== Operation 2-3 Special Score Modifiers No Mistakes - 1.4x Finish with 3:10:00 remaining - 1.2x MAX Chain 48+ - 1.2x 3 Defib. uses or LESS - 1.2x ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE 2-4 ] ===---------------------------- ------------------------------=== [ STIGMA ] ===------------------------------- Patient Lloyd Wilkins is your first STIGMA patient. He has the strain Cheir. Starting Vitals: 70 Maximum Vitals: 80 =============================================================================== Yet another twig body. XD Gel and Incise. Wow. Those apparantly weren't there three minutes ago. Quickly suture all lacerations. There should be five. Are you ready for it? Say hello to Cheir. It may be a coincidence, but it looks almost EXACTLY like Kyriaki from Second Opinion. Cheir HP: 3 Anyway, use the laser on it, it'll attempt to sidestep, but try to keep hitting it until you get an OK. It'll make a large laceration like Kyriaki usually did. Fix the wound before going back to trying to kill Cheir. You'll need to get three OKs to kill it. "DEFEAT" You surely don't think that's it, do you? Two more Cheirs will appear. Be careful on Hard, the vital loss can rack up really quick. Try to keep up with suturing lacerations, and try to kill off one at a time. Next part starts after you kill both of them. Oh wait...two more? Wait...what's this?!? FUSION HA! *is shot* Sorry...They become what I like to call Cheir V2 Cheir V2 HP: 4 You're going to have to hit it a LOT more often with the laser to cause any real damage. The main problem is its attack pattern. It'll hurt you a LOT more than two singular Cheirs. They'll cause a six pointed star laceration pattern, which causes around 25-30 damage more or less. Quickly suture it. Keep vitals around 70+ before attempting to laser Stigma again. You need 4 OKs to finally kill it. After that, the usual Suture, gel, and bandage will do. OPERATION COMPLETE. =============================================================================== Operation 2-4 Special score Modifiers No Mistakes - 1.3x Finish with 2:30:00 remaining - 1.2x MAX Chain 23+ - 1.2x 8+ COOLs - 1.3x ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE 2-5 ] ===---------------------------- -------------------------=== [ LOST IN THE FLAMES ] ===------------------------ Patient Luc Rousseou is not nearly as bad a person as I once thought. Sorry... I mean he has bad burns on his upper left body. Starting Vitals: 30 Maximum Vitals: 50* =============================================================================== Oh dear...this does NOT look good, and trust me, I've seen burns before. Anyway, what you'll want to do first is inject the yellow serum into one of the squares to the left of our screen, then trace the blue square.. Well...this operation is simple on paper, so I'll give you the rundown on what to do basicly and let you handle it on your own. It isn't hard in essence, but you'll almost never finish it quickly. First, you'll want to remove the dead skin circles (black). Inject the left green/blue serum into it, then trace the line, and remove it with forceps. Now, you'll notice all those ugly yellowish burns? You need to cover them with FOUR squares of grafted skin before you can gel them in place. The catch? If a hemmorage appears above the squares you've already places, they'll fall off, and you'll have to start over. Not fun. Anyway, you have approximately NINE skin grafts to do. Trust me when I say you will almost never finish with more than 10-20 seconds unless you are extremely skilled.

Anyway, Gel and Incise. Anyone remember the thrombi operation from SO? This is a little similar. You'll want to use ultrasound to see gallstones moving throughout the greenish vessel. Use the laser to remove them. They appear every 3-4 seconds. Larger stones are broken into two when you first break them, so you'll need to laser it longer. Anyway, you'll need to remove the Gallbladder while keeping the stones in check. Be sure to keep destroying them while following the below paragraph. First, inject the white serum into the Gallbladder. Cut along the blue line that appears. Hemmoraging will start to occur. Clear the blood before cutting the next blue line. Another large blue line will appear and more hemmmoraging occurs. Cut THIS line and a line will circle the whole organ along with massive hemmoraging. Remember to keep an eye on the stones and vitals. Drain the blood then cut the entire blue line, then quickly remove the gallbladder and destroy any remaining stones. Rub gel over the hemmoraging and then suture where blood is pouring out. Congrats! Suture, Gel, Bandage.

Remember to drain blood, THEN USE FORCEPS TO CLOSE THE WOUND, THEN suture. Other than that, its the same stuff as the outside. You should know what to do. Other than that, you need to use the "magnifier" to look around. There are some more gashes, lacerations, and glass shards above and below the area, but it doesn't matter which area you start at.

Gel and Incise. Basicly, what you'll want to do is rub Gel over the area that's darker than the rest, then use forceps to move the patch over the outline. Sounds easy, right? You would be wrong. After you apply the first patch, which IS easy, the heart begins to beat faster, which results in an erratic patch outline that shifts its angle occasionally. You also have to time it when its the same size as the actual patch. Failure to do so will result in you having to use the defib. Also, watch out for hemmorages. The third patch is by far the hardest, having an erratic pattern and being quick to shrink to boot. Anyway, once you're done, suture, gel, and bandage.

II Okay, this is officially how to fight Soma. Soma, the Body HP: 5/6 Soma is a large blue mass of accumulated tissue. The idea is to drain the tissue to expose the core. This works well the first time. Laser the core until you get OK. During the fight, it will occasionally leave behind pink tumors. Laser them ASAP. They will eventually explode, and that is BAD. After the second drain, it'll split off three small circles of tissue. Drain them ASAP, or they might explode just like a tumor, but they don't have nearly as bad after effects. Then laser the core again until you get the OK. Repeat twice. For the fourth round, Soma will split into two entities. Only ONE of them has the core, but they can BOTH create tumors. Be sure to eliminate at least one of them as soon as you can. I don't believe it does this again until you get an OK lasering session on the core again.

Remove it with forceps, then drain the blood pool that forms. Forceps the vein together, then suture it. That is how you deal with Aneurysms. Anyway, Aneurysms will start appearing two at a time. Be sure to Sedate both, then remove one at a time. Do NOT actually pick up the Aneurysm until you cut the trace line on both, as it will cause unnecessary vital loss. Same procedure goes for Aneurysms 4 and 5, but they're farther apart so they may be more difficult to treat. Also, once you finish fixing one, 6 and 7 will appear. Finish fixing up all the aneurysms up until the 7th. Be sure you max your vitals before fixing the 7th and then...DEJA VU. MASS ANEURYSMS. Activate Healing Touch immediately and start fixing aneurysms. It doesnt matter whose you use, but I prefer Vaughn's. Valerie's works too, because you could just LET the aneurysms explode and no vital loss will occur. Do not that after you fix the vein lines on three of them, two more aneurysms will appear again.

The first patient is REALLY easy. First, inject the appendix (you can spot it easily) with the white sedative. It should take two doses. Then trace the blue line with the scalpel. Now, you see the ties. Pick it up and press A near where the arrow points, then move the pointer away to tie it. Do the same to the other arrow, then cut the blue line. Move the appendix to the tray, then patch the hole left with a membrane and gel. That wasn't so hard, now was it. Suture, gel, bandage. Patient 2...oh, a burst appendix...wow. Vitals drop to 35. I highly suggest you raise them before you gel and incise. Anyway, there is a LOT of pus which respawns, and inflammations which the pus causes. You'll need to get rid of it all while trying to remove the appendix. Just follow the same procedure as before, just trying to keep pus from forming. After you cut out the appendix, a whole lot of pus/inflammations spawn. Move it to the tray IMMEDIATELY to stop further pus spawning. Then, deal with any abnormalities remaining. After that, suture, gel, bandage part 2.

That should solve the worst problems, then fix the lacerations and glass shard wounds. Unfortunately...this area is large...thus magnifier comes into play again. That's right. The more serious wounds are on the bottom, so handle those first. Its nothing you haven't dealt with before. The problem is that this time there are now HIDDEN hemmorages, you might want to stop those ASAP. They cause a lot of vital damage, so use Healing Touch if you feel you must. There are about 5 or 6 hidden hemmorages, two gashes, 4 lacerations, and 6-7 glass shards. Don't forget the visible hemmorages too. They'll also form blood pools eventually.

After you remove all three...hemmorages appear all of the place and appear randomly. Remember that you can't place a membrane over a hole if a hemmorage is above it. Anyway once you fix a few more tumors, another massive series of hemmorages occur...followed by heart failure! Remember how to massage a heart? Just press A+B when the hands overlap. You need to do it six times, then you can get back to removing tumors. Remember to STABILIZE vitals though after the heart failure as they'll probably be much lower than before. I BELIEVE there are six or seven tumors after the initial three. The heart failure will occur after removing three of those six/seven.

Laser the core when you have a chance. By the way, the entities can't be killed, so don't try. After taking off 1 HP, the entities will fire what looks like red eggs, disentigrate them with the laser immediately, or you'll be sorry. Then, after the next HP is taken, tumors will start to form. They resemble the eggs, so laser them immediately. After taking off 5 HP, the core splits into two. Be EXTRA careful now, as nutrients will often reach one of the Ops core's quicker. Each of the smaller cores take 3 more hits before "DEFEAT". Upon defeating the second core, the entities will pretty much die off, and you'll be done.

Onyx, the Claw Onyx HP: 6 This version of Stigma starts off completely hidden. Ironically, this fight, at the beginning anyway, is to be treated EXACTLY like a fusion of Kyriaki and Savato from SO. You start by trying to locate it over the large organ using ultrasound. Unearth it with the scalpel, then inject it with the serum to deal damage. It will run off and bury itself in the organ again. If you don't find it fast enough, it will unburrow for a moment, and perform Savato's famous five point star laceration chain, then go back down. Don't try injecting it when it does this, just fix the lacerations and heal vitals if they get low. After taking off two HP, Onyx will make a copy of itself to confuse you. Be EXTREMELY careful and do NOT cut out a copy, or the real Onyx will magicly appear somewhere else and immediately perform the five cut attack. The real Onyx will have FOUR blue dots on its back, so don't be confused just because you can ultrasound one of them. The copy itself cannot do any damage, so don't worry. Every point of damage you do after the first two, Onyx will leave behind an additional copy of itself. Remember, DO NOT BE FOOLED. The REAL Onyx will ALWAYS have FOUR dots on its head, the copys have THREE. It takes six total injections for Onyx for "DEFEAT" to show up. Congrats. Suture, Gel, Bandage.

Anyway, you'll need to drain blood pools and apply membranes. Remember to use gel to affix them...though you have a limited amount. If you see a circle, that is a pellet, and you'll have to use forceps to remove it before applying a membrane. You'll have around seven membranes on the outside before you go inside the body. Use gel for only a part of the incision, so you don't break your chain. Inside, there are four blood pools. The right two have normal pellets showing so finish those first. It would be wise to activate HT now. Suture the wounds if you run out of Gel, which you probably will by now. The left two pools have blue lines you have to trace first, before being able to remove the pellet, but otherwise the same as the other wounds. After that, suture...and just bandage, since you're probably out of gel.

Deal with lacerations ASAP if you can't find it fast enough. After the two points of damage is caused, it will use around 5-6 copies to try to hide itself. Once again, similar to the previous form, the REAL Onyx has 4 blue dots on its head, the COPIES have three. NO NOT dig up a copy. After the fourth point of damage...this gets really interesting. Blood vessels show up all over the place, and you start taking MASSIVE vital damage (Assuming hard mode). There are now copies literally ALL OVER THE PLACE. The REAL one still has 4 blue dots to distinguish itself, so as long as you find it and inject it quickly, the fight shouldn't be too difficult.

Its name, which is unknown until later, but I'll refer to it here, is called Brachion, the Arm. Starting Vitals: 60 Maximum Vitals: 75 =============================================================================== Welcome to Brachion. Gel and Incise. I don't know its name yet, but it looks like what I would expect a 3 legged tarantula to look like. Brachion HP: 4 The first thing you'll notice is its arms, termed grapplers. You MUST remove them to cause any damage to Brachion. To do so, inject the grapplers with the purple serum, then use forceps to remove them. However, it will release toxin as you attempt to remove the grapplers. If any of it reaches the end if its arm, it will instantly regenerate a grappler. You can prevent this by using forceps to pinch one of the circles in its arms, preferably the last circle, to force the venom to start over. Be sure to do this often. Eventually, once you remove all three grapplers, the sphere arms will retract. This signifies one point of damage. After a few seconds, the core will regenerate all of the grapplers. The second part has one grappler with only four sphere points. This means more sphere pinching. Part three has four grappler arms instead of three. Part four ...well...one of the four arms has only four sphere points. Remember not to let ANY venom enter the body. PERIOD. After you destroy the fourth set of grapplers, Brachion will act like it'll create a new set, then "DEFEAT". Congratulations. Suture, Gel, Bandage.

Starting Vitals: 75 Maximum Vitals: 90 =============================================================================== First off, gel and incise. I'll be as brief as possible. You'll see six tumors. They shift colors from red to blue. Trying to drain one while its red will cause it to release gas which to be honest, isn't good for your vitals. So only use the drain, scalpel, and forceps when their color is blue. This means you only have a second to drain and cut each tumor. However, when you take out the tumor and apply the membrane, scar tissue will be left behind. If you cause a gas release, any scar tissue will instantly become inflammed with a blood pool. My advice is to not actually remove ANY of the excised tumors until you've excised all six. After you actually take them out, its a simple matter of suture, gel, bandage.

Starting Vitals: 65 Maximum Vitals: 99 Time Limit: 10 minutes. =============================================================================== Alright. Your first patient is Soma? Remember how to deal with it? Gel and Incise. Soma HP: 4 Soma is the blob of blue mass. Remember that to harm it, you have to drain it until the core reveals itself. Quickly drain the three blue circles it shoots out to prevent skin hardening and vital loss. Also remember to laser the tumors it occasionally leaves behind. Laser the core until you get OK for a point of damage. After taking two damage, Soma shows up as two entities. One will quickly self destruct into five blue circles. Be sure to drain them quickly, on top of dealing with tumors. On the bright side, the core stays revealed longer. It takes only two more points of damage to be defeated. On to patient 2...Brachion it is. Open him up. Brachion HP: 4 The first thing you'll notice is that Brachion starts with one arm already at four spheres. If you can guess the pattern, the next form starts with one arm with four spheres, and one with three. Then of course, four arms having one with four spheres...and the final form should be obvious. You fight all of them the same. Pinch one of the spheres shut to keep toxin from releasing at the tips, then inject the serum, cut the blue line, and remove the tip. If the toxin escapes from a removed tip arm, it will cause ALL of the arms with removed tips to instantly regenerate. DO NOT, I repeat, do NOT be afraid to use HT during the last form. You will likely need it. Anyway once you remove all the grappler tips from all four forms, Brachion is defeated. Patient 3 is Ops...a reprieve in difficulty from Brachion. Ops HP: 11 This operation is pretty much the exact same as the last Ops operation, so you can look there. This is just advice... Do not let Ops absorb ANY material while a tumor is present. It will cause the tumor to instantly explode, thus causing MASSIVE vital loss. (On Hard, its half your vitals). Remember, the core splits into two after dealing 5 damage, and each mini-core takes 3 damage after that to die. Concentrate on one before you kill the other, and you should be fine. Oh, and WATCH THE LASER USAGE. I have been screwed so many times because the laser quit working on me. Once you've dealt with Ops, suture, gel, bandage.

XD Oh, and she has muliple shotgun pellets stuck in her body. Starting Vitals: 10 Maximum Vitals: ?? =============================================================================== Well this is a relatively simple operation since you don't operate in the body at any time... Basicly, Pepita has around seven shotgun pellets stuck in her body. Four of those require cutting a trace line beforehand, the ones on the left. If you remember dealing with these before, blood pools form on the wound after you cut a trace line (if necessary) and after you remove the pellet. Also, they form if you take too long to patch up a pelletless wound. Also, there are some random internal hemmorages you need to take care of as well...this can be dangerous to your patient's likely low amount of vitals. There are around four total that you have to treat. Don't forget that Pepita randomly goes into cardiac arrest...the difference with the defibrilator this time is that the target zone is on the far left instead of the far right, so the timing is slightly different. She will also automaticly go into cardiac arrest immediately after the final wound is treated so be aware.

Starting Vitals: 55 (decreases with each patient) Maximum Vitals: 60 10 minute time limit. You do NOT have to fix up all patients, only have to be past the point where backup is mentioned. =============================================================================== Alright, these are fairly minor time consuming operations compared to the ones earlier, but you're extremely pressed for time if you want to finish up all five. Patient 1: Burn patient. Remember the hell that was this operation back in Episode 2? Yeah...its back. You only have to treat nine burns this time, but the catch is that some of the burns may advance and turn black this time. Because of that, I would treat the black burns first, because they have a lesser chance to pool up blood afterwards. Just be aware of what may happen. Its unlikely to finish that operation in under 4 minutes...so next patient. Patient 2: Gunshot wounds...nothing we haven't dealt with before. Do you remember that the rifle wound is in two pieces, and inside the body? Good, I shouldn't have to give much advice then. Just watch your vitals. Patient 3: Classic Lacerations/Glass shard removal case. This honestly shouldn't take more than 1 1/2 minutes to fix. Just be aware to fix gashes first when you enter inside the body to prevent massive vital loss. Oh, there are also a few internal hemmorages too. On hard, revealing them costs around 12 vital points, so watch them carefully. One of them is hard to spot, on the far left near the center. Patient 4: Rib Cage. You should know the drill from the previous time you had to fix up one of these guys. Be aware that the spleen will hemmorage EVERY time you remove a bone fragment. Thankfully you get all six fragments handed to you before you start to fix up the ribs. Patient 5: Unknown as of yet.

Perform a liver transplant on both. Starting Vitals: 25 Maximum Vitals: 40 (Increases each time you connect a vessel to the liver) =============================================================================== The good thing is that you start out inside of the patients already. First use forceps to move the liver from the tray to the area the arrows point at. Then, use the black constrictor fluid next to the stabilizer fluid (Use the Syringe to inject) on the blue vein. Then, cut the trace line and drain the blood pool...then connect the blue part on the liver to the vein and ...WHAT THE?!? Cheir makes its triumphant return. Remember, they come in three waves. Cheir HP: 3 However, remember your vitals are still low. Immediately suture the bleeding part of the vein to increase your maximum vitals by around 10. Then kill one Cheir, and let the other live. We're going to finish the liver first, before we deal with Cheir so we don't die of vital loss. Do the same thing you do with the vein with the yellow tube next, then the red artery, then the green tube. Each time you do this, your maximum vitals will increase by a small amount. The absolute maximum vitals is 78...its not an even number, but its good enough. By the way, suture the cuts Cheir makes in between times when you connect a vessel. And keep your vitals up! Now, back to dealing with Cheir. Finish off the remaining Cheir from the first wave at your leisure. Now the second wave comes in...They no longer make lacerations though...oh no, they do worse. They now create large tumors (hidden ones) so eliminate them QUICKLY. Too many tumors creates rapid vital loss. After you deal with them, the fusion Cheir will come out. Remember it has 4 HP, and can do a 6 laceration attack which causes 25 damage. Be sure to suture the lacerations quickly, heal vitals and start lasering Cheir. You'll enjoy the sound of "DEFEAT". Suture, gel, bandage. One down, one to go... Patient 2 starts out with 25 vitals and 40 maximum again. Heal the vitals NOW. Trust me, you'll need it. Start by attaching the vein to the liver again. Read above if you forgot how to do that...once its connected... Okay...this is bad. VERY. VERY. VERY. BAD. Cheir HP: 3 Onyx HP: 6 Two types of Stigma at once. If you are on hard, please do not throw your remotes at the TV once you lose, I guarantee you likely will lose at least once or twice. Anyway, quickly suture the bleeding part of the vein, then IMMEDIATELY start to deal with Onyx. It is FAR more deadly than the lone Cheir. Remember, to deal with Onyx, you have to use ultrasound to find it, scalpel it out, then inject it with the RED serum. You are in a LOT of danger with the maximum vitals being so low. I will emphasize this only once: DO NOT KILL THE CHEIR BEFORE YOU KILL ONYX. DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING OTHER THAN ONYX UNTIL IT IS DEAD. The only things you can do are heal vitals and suture lacerations made by Cheir, cause you can't let them get too numerous. Onyx once again creates copies when dealt two damage. As usual, the real Onyx has four blue dots on his head, so look for that before you scalpel one out. After four damage is dealt total...uh oh...blood vessels appear, that is DEFINITELY not good for your patient's already low vitals. You must find and kill Onyx ASAP. Use Stabilizer between rounds when Onyx is injected. Use HT must now. The real Onyx is almost ALWAYS located on the liver, so don't look anywhere else on screen. After two more damage, Onyx finally dies. After that, just treat this patient like the first, heal the liver before you deal with Cheir. The extra vitals will help if the Cheir fusion does the six laceration attack. The Cheir waves are the exact same and perform the same functions. After you finish, suture, gel, bandage.

Starting Vitals: 90 Maximum Vitals: 99 =============================================================================== Abnormal tumors...why does that sound familiar? Open her up. Yeah...this is definitely familiar to those who played Second Opinion. To fix these tumors, you need to drain the cytoplasm as usual, then use the scalpel to cut off the three blood vessels attached to it. Then you can remove the tumor itself. You just need to hold the scalpel over the vessels to remove them. The tumor will create mini-tumors the entire time its around, and the more there are while the large tumor exists, the faster you will lose vitals. Once you remove the first tumor and all small tumors, you'll get to deal with two large tumors. Be careful. You must remove both of them at the same time, otherwise they will regenerate. I mean that you can't have any other tumors with current attached blood vessels before you remove a tumor. Keep in mind that there will likely be lots of mini-tumors, so do remove both of them quickly. After that...three tumors. Start by draining one and...what the?!? Lights are off, but you get the lighter tool. Select it and hover it over the right tumors. Finish off both of them by cutting the blood vessels, but don't actually remove them. IMMEDIATELY perform the Healing Touch, otherwise vital loss WILL kill you. Deal with the third tumor, then place it and both of the others in the tray. Thankfully, you've halted vital loss. Heal all remaining mini-tumors. After that, suture, gel, bandage.

Starting Vitals: 60 (55/50) Maximum Vitals: 75 Time Limit: 10 minutes =============================================================================== You must do all three in 10 minutes. Ready? Gel and Incise. First Patient: Brachion. Brachion HP: 4 I don't want to or need to explain this again. This is the exact same form of Brachion you operated on in 6-3. Refer to that section for how to deal with this. Just watch the toxin and don't let them escape an arm whose large portion has been excised. After you deal with all four parts. Brachion hits "DEFEAT" Patient 2: Cheir and Soma Cheir HP: 3 (4 on fused) Soma HP: 3 Soma is weaker this round, hence why we'll be eliminating it first. Be sure to kill one of the two initial Cheir. Eliminate Soma then, it will split into two bodies after the first damage point. After that, you deal with it like normal. Now, as for the Cheir...the second wave still creates internal tumors, so you need to watch out for those, but after you kill one of the second wave, one additional small Cheir appears. Be careful of this one, but kill off the other tumor creating one first. This third Cheir occasionally dives into the organ and resurfaces...creating the famous large gash. Remember to forceps the sides shut before suturing it. The Fused Cheir is nothing different. Just watch your vitals. When both Stigma have hit "DEFEAT"... Patient 3: Soma...or so it says. Soma HP: 3 I highly suggest you start by using ultrasound, you'll see why. Oh wait, this guy also has Onyx! Onyx HP: 5 It doesn't matter which you deal with first, but with Onyx alive you'll have to heal much more often, so try to eliminate Onyx first. The real Onyx still has four blue dots on its head. It also seems to actually attack a little slower than previous appearances, probably due to it being present with Soma. Be cautious when the blood vessels appear, as you will start having rapid vital loss, and you can't afford to cut a copy at this time. Above all else, laser the tumors left behind by Soma before trying to find Onyx. After Onyx is dead, Soma should be cakewalk by now. After that, suture, gel, and bandage the last guy. If you're running low on time, which you likely are, skip the gel.

Gee, that device look familiar? Laser the control chips, the cut the small blue square trace line, and remove the chip using forceps. Not a difficult concept, except you have random hemmoraging occuring all the time, and every 15 seconds or so, you'll need to do a heart massage. Once you remove the control chips, remove the pump... And now you see the horror we call a control chip. Laser it, and quickly cut the blue trace line...and then the chip reboots itself. Yeah, it does that a lot...pretty much every time you cut a trace line, you'll have to cut around 7 before you remove the chip. And please for the love of god, keep the hemmorages in check, and get your vitals above 15 before the heart starts to fibrilate. After you DO remove the chip, you'll need to place the new pump. You'll have to twist it around a bit to get the correct angle. After that, place the four new control chips. They have to go on the exact center of the holes, or it won't count for some reason. Once you get all four chips in, clean up any existing hemmorages, then you can suture, gel, bandage.

Starting Vitals: 99 Maximum Vitals: 99 Time Limit: 10 minutes. Note: It is HIGHLY advisable that you save your HT until the end of the operation, otherwise you will VERY likely lose. =============================================================================== By the way, this guy reminds me of Takaya (Aka Jesus boy) from Persona 3... Well, gel and incise to see the monster you're dealing with. Well, that thing that looks like a beetle is Cardia. Cardia HP: 7 Now, you will notice that this first phase starts off with a grid of membrane tissues. To begin fighting Cardia, use the antibiotic gel to soften up squares, then cut the blue trace lines with a scalpel. You can then pick up membranes with forceps (Adjacent membranes that you cut out will also be removed at the same time, no need to shift back and forth.) However, Membrane sections cannot be removed if Cardia is currently on top of a square belonging to a section you're about to remove. Attempting to do so will cause a miss and around 15 vital loss. You should also remove the glowing red squares ASAP. If Cardia reaches one of these, you'll suffer around 40 vital loss. There are three membrane formations that you need to take out before the next phase. The first resembles the medical cross on the front of the cover, the second resembles a church cross, and I have no idea what the third one looks like. You treat them all the same, just get rid of the red areas first. Each time you completely remove a membrane, one damage is considered dealt due to reforming a new layer. By the way, your maximum vitals will decrease if Cardia ever reaches a red section of the membrane, on top of the vital loss. It goes down by around 13-15 each time, down to around a minimum of 30 for your max. After three damage is dealt, Cardia's shell comes off. Now it looks like a jellyfish. Now to use the tired and true method of LASERING IT TO DEATH. Here are its attacks. Laceration: Oh boy...a single laceration...but it hemmorages, so drain the blood pool and fix the laceration quickly. MASS Lacerations: This can cause trouble on hard. It can create anywhere between 5 and 8 lacerations, each causing around 6-8 damage. Quickly suture them, because it will almost definitely follow up with... Tumor spread: This is, BY FAR, its most dangerous attack. It spreads anywhere from 3 to 7 tumors. They are easy to remove, just pick them up with forceps and drag them to the tray...but do so QUICKLY. Soon after it finishes laying the final tumor, it will start emitting ripple waves. These will detonate any remaining tumors...and deal...say...30+ vital damage. This is enough to instantly kill you if you leave two tumors. Needless to say, this is bad, but if you removed all the tumors, Cardia is a sitting duck while it emits ripples. By the way, here are its tumor layouts T T T - 1 T T T - 2 T T T T T T - 3 (This one may be slightly off) T T T T T T T - 4 (Its most dangerous by far, especially if lacerations follow) T T T It takes a while to actually remove a point of HP using the laser, but keep at it. After three points...remember Savato's berserk mode from SO? This is worse. It will lay around 25+ tumor mines in a circle, QUICKLY activate your HT (it doesn't matter whose, but Valerie's is SIGNIFICANTLY safer, because then you don't have to remove the tumors.) If you are playing as Markus...QUICKLY remove ALL tumors before Cardia starts emitting ripples, and then laser the damn thing to death. After the next hit, it will die.

But first, I'll start with this, since its also post-game... ----------------------------=== [ EPISODE A-4 ] ===---------------------------- ----------------------------=== [ CHALLENGE 4 ] ===---------------------------- If you have played and are a fan of Second Opinion, you will likely love doing this challenge. I'll actually go into some detail on this, if you haven't played SO. PATIENT 1: Fix the wounds that are initially there. Suddenly, two lacerations appear out of nowhere. Suture them. Now, use the ultrasound. Yes, for those who remember SO, this is our good friend Kyriaki! Yes, GUILT is back for one Operation. Kyriaki HP: 2 Mature Kyriaki HP: 3 For those that DON'T remember SO, you fight Kyriaki by using the ultrasound to make its shadow visible (You MUST ping it, or you can't attack it), then cut poke its shadow with the scalpel. It will burst out, leaving a very small wound and making a large cut in the direction it was heading. Heal both, then poke Kyriaki with the laser twice to kill it. You have two waves of two Kyriaki each...then the final wave. The Mature Kyriaki enters by making its trademark Asterisk laceration set. This is usually accompanied by 20-30 vital loss. Heal the lacerations fast. It comes with one Immature Kyriaki as well. Kill the Immature first. The Mature, unlike the Immature, will dive back under the organ when you hit it with the laser, but it doesn't move far from what it dived back in, so you can quickly cut it out again. It takes three hits to kill. PATIENT 2: Laser the five yellow/blue tumors you see ASAP. Then, say hi to our NEW friend, Deftera. Deftera HP: 3 If you've played SO, you remember that this GUILT has a large amount of luck in getting the two colors to combine. Every few seconds, it will leave behind the colored tumors. Laser them immediately, or they'll spawn smaller tumors themselves. Now, to damage Deftera, wait until it combines, then use the drain on it. It sounds similar to Soma, doesn't it? This will cause Deftera to change color slightly, this will be important later on. After being drained three times, Deftera will pulse and go berserk. IMMEDIATELY cut the trace line around it, or it will spawn a TON of tumors. Once you cut it, laser the tumors as soon as you can, then take the dead Deftera out with forceps...then treat the hole left behind like you would a normal tumor. Now you must fight TWO pairs of Deftera at once. Welcome to SO Hell all over again. There are two things you do NOT want to happen. 1. Do NOT let like color Deftera collide. Otherwise, you'll take some vital damage and it will leave behind a tumor or two. 2. Do NOT let ANY color Deftera collide with a pair that is fused. Likewise, you'll suffer some vital damage. And this is VERY VERY important. NEVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES USE ANY GEL. IF DEFTERA TOUCHES IT, YOU WILL SUFFER MASSIVE (And I mean MASSIVE) VITAL LOSS. Now, you can prevent the first one by focusing on draining one pair at a time. As I said earlier, a pair's color changes slightly each time you drain it. That means that if you drain a pair once, like colors won't collide unless you drain the OTHER pair. Otherwise, barring most of hat I said above, you treat it exactly like you treat a single Deftera. Laser any tumors you see ASAP, and focus on one pair at a time. Before you know it, they'll both be gone. PATIENT 3: Once again, laser the tumors you see immediately...and then... Derek apparantly likes to torture us. Deftera HP: 3 (Each) Soma HP: 5 Yes, two Deftera pairs and Soma at once. You saw that correctly. No no, before you suicide yourself our of this mission yet, I suggest you take out the Deftera first. Soma is honestly weak. Just make sure you take care of the red tissue it leaves behind occasionally. Just treat Deftera like you did the last patient. When you're left with just Soma...well...Soma is easy. >_> PATIENT 4: Suture the lacerations you see. Then another surprise. Cheir HP: 3 Kyriaki HP: 1 These both come in three waves. The next wave comes when both Stigma and GUILT are eliminated from the current wave. Wave 1: 1 Cheir + 1 Kyriaki Wave 2: 1 Cheir + 2 Kyriaki And then the final wave. I HIGHLY suggest you activate your HT as soon as either the Cheir fuses, or the Mature Kyriaki appears...then...SURPRISE. Infant Savato HP: 1 I honestly wanted to fight the TRUE Savato...instead we get these annoying things. Laser them AS SOON AS THEY APPEAR. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. If you don't and 5 or more are present, they will combine which will first of all halve your current vitals, which will likely get you killed if the fused Cheir is still present (And DEFINITELY killed if BOTH the Mature Kyriaki and Cheir are present), and it will LOWER your Maximum vitals until it dies. There are, from my count, four waves of Savato. After they all die, if you haven't done so already, kill off the Cheir. It is a MUCH bigger threat than the Kyriaki. And thats it. Nice challenge huh? Personally, I would've liked a 20 minute challenge where you fight all 7 types of GUILT in a row. XD -----------------------------=== [ X-1 - Cheir ] ===--------------------------- Time for our Favorite Kyriaki-ish clone. XD Gel and Incise. First off, you'll notice around 6 lacerations. Quickly fix them. Remember that the difficulty level is always set to EXTREME, thus you'll suffer MUCH greater vital loss than normal operations. Cheir HP: 3 Mature Cheir HP: 4 Anyway, once you finish dealing with all lacerations, Wave 1 comes out. This isn't anything new, and you deal with them just like always. They both make lacerations. Get your vitals up before you kill the second, then comes wave two. Wave Two consists of FOUR Cheir. Two appear initially, and Two more appear after you kill off one of the initial Cheir. One of the inital two creates tumors, the other lacerations. Of the latter two, one creates lacerations, and the other dives under the skin to make large Gashes. Wave 2 is probably the trickiest to get by with the most speed. I would try to deal two damage to both of the initial Cheir of the wave before killing one of them, then quickly kill the other. Tumor damage can pile up a lot. As for the second two, if you need more chain, go for the one that makes normal lacerations first. The one that creates Gashes can wait, because it makes more injuries at a time, thus greater chain. Heal before the final Wave as a safety net. Trust me, you'll probably need it. Whatever you do, DO NOT attack the 2 Unfused Cheir before killing the Fusion. DO NOT under ANY circumstances allow the Fusion to get an attack in. This means keep lasering it and try to keep it OFF of the organ you're operating on, it can't attack if its full body isn't on the organ. If you can do that, the final wave should be easy without HT. =============================================================================== X-1 Special Score Modifiers No Healing Touch - 1.3x No Mistakes - 1.2x Finish with 1:00:00 Remaining - 1.2x MAX Chain 65+ - 1.3x -----------------------------=== [ X-2 - Soma ] ===---------------------------- Well...its Soma. What can I say? Soma HP: 6 There's no real difference from other Soma Operations here, other than faster vital drops, and the following two changes. 1. When you fully drain Soma, it splits blue tissue into a 5 point star instead of just a triangle. 2. If you don't drain a false Soma body, the tissue will split into a hexagon body. =============================================================================== X-2 Special Score Modifiers No Healing Touch - 1.3x No Mistakes - 1.2x Finish with 1:00:00 remaining - 1.2x Tissue hardened 2 times or less - 1.3x ------------------------------=== [ X-3 - Ops ] ===---------------------------- Are you ready for some super deadly Ops? Open up your patient. There's Ops, in all its glory. Ops HP: 10 Don't let the lowered HP fool you, it takes a LOT longer to take off one HP this time around. Not only that, the tumors take longer to kill off, as well as the larger red nutrients. Make ABSOLUTELY sure Ops does NOT absorb a nutrient while a tumor is present, otherwise you will take at LEAST 50 vital damage. Anyway, The main Ops body will split after taking 2 damage. The two mini bodies take 4 more damage each before dying. It is suggested, unless you care for rank to use Markus's HT after you deal 2 damage to one of the smaller Ops bodies, then quickly eliminate one body. This will make the operation much easier. =============================================================================== X-3 Special Score Modifiers No Healing Touch - 1.3x No Mistakes - 1.2x Finish with 1:00:00 remaining - 1.2x No Tumors Ruptured - 1.3x -----------------------------=== [ X-4 - Onyx ] ===---------------------------- All I can say is, prepare for hell. Gel and Incise. Onyx has improved greatly, you'll see how and why shortly. Onyx HP: 8 Ah yes, the first improvement is that It obviously takes way longer to kill... Onyx will surface if you can't find it after 8-10 seconds. Given the very large organ you have to scan...this is very likely. And then you will take 75 points of vital damage... OUCH. Two of those and you're dead. This operation requires EXTREME luck, and good eyesight, since you'll DEFINITELY need to be able to locate the real Onyx. After 4 injections, Onyx will once again summon in the blood vessels of doom... which lower vitals at an insane rate. Now you're prone to a 1 hit kill if you don't find Onyx. It is HIGHLY advisable that you start a HT if you find Onyx once among this mess. Even though you lose out on rank, you'll at least have a much higher chance of finishing the operation. It takes another 4 hits to kill it. =============================================================================== X-4 Special Score Modifiers No Healing Touch - 1.3x No Mistakes - 1.2x Finish with 3:45:00 remaining - 1.2x Onyx does not attack - 1.3x ---------------------------=== [ X-5 - Brachion ] ===-------------------------- Well, lets open the guy up... And thus you see Brachion in all of its somewhat powered up glory... Brachion HP: 5 This basicly means you have one more set of arms to take out, the strategy is still the same. Just don't let toxin's reach the ends of the grapplers, pinch as necessary, ETC. The only new arm addition is just a repeat of the first set. It isn't exactly hard, just more vital loss if you screw up somehow. =============================================================================== X-5 Special Score Modifiers No Healing Touch - 1.3x No Mistakes - 1.2x Finish with 2:00:00 remaining - 1.2x Grappler Arms do not regenerate - 1.3x ----------------------------=== [ X-6 - Cardia ] ===--------------------------- Somewhat Epic Battle MK. II. Gel and Incise. Well, at least the square membrane patterns are different... Cardia HP: 8 Now, you should be familiar with how the first part works. Prevent Cardia from reaching the red membranes, and remove ALL of the membranes while doing so. DO NOT let it touch a single red membrane. If it does, start over, as you likely won't survive the second phase. You have to go through 3 patterns again. The third pattern is the most dangerous. IMMEDIATELY excise the 4 red membrane squares in the center, otherwise Cardia might spawn on TOP of a red square, and that isn't good at all. Then, pick a whole length of membranes at one side and remove the entire thing. After that, handle it like normal. Phase two isnt much different either, but you do have to do another point of damage before Cardia enters berserk mode. Be extra careful, because it will follow up the tumor laying attack with 6+ lacerations more often, even if it already made lacerations before doing that. You can and will be extremely pressed for Vitals at points. In any case, try to remove as many tumors as possible as it lays them. After it finishes, remove tumors closest to its body first, it'll take a few seconds for the ripples to reach ones far from its body. In either case, after Berserk mode, use HT. If you're Markus, remove all tumors before lasering Cardia for the chain score. If you're Valerie, just laser Cardia immediately. =============================================================================== X-6 Special Score Modifiers No Mistakes - 1.3x MAX Chain 150+ - 1.2x Tumors Burst 1 time or less. - 1.3x Finish with 3:00:00 Remaining - 1.2x Score required for XS: 9800. =========================== { 11: STIGMA STRATEGIES } ========================= This section is here for fans of this guide to submit their own strategies.
