Okay for some reason the above box keeps getting screwed up each update...
Pre-Disclaimer: This FAQ is intended for you to PASS missions. I am now
also including a S rank section if you want to know how to perfect missions.
Also, this game will NOT make you into a real surgeon. If you are NOT already
attending medical school, please do not consider changing your profession just
because you beat a game based on surgery.

==========================[ Part 1: Introduction ]============================
About me: This is the Second FAQ I've ever made. The first was under a
different username for the game Onimusha 2. However, I never finished that
guide because my PS2 broke down halfway through making the guide. However, I
am back with a vengance and after perfecting my Trauma Center techniques, I
will pass onto you, the reader of this FAQ, the knowledge needed to beat this
game.
About the game: Trauma Center is a surgery simulator made by Atlus for the
Nintendo DS. The gameplay may be far from realistic in some instances because
the game is set in the future, but it sure is addicting. This game is widely
considered to be very difficult. I personally would rate it among the 3
toughest games i have ever played. Be prepared for a challenge.
About the Creators: Atlus is well known for making fun games, most of which
are RPGs. Most of their games are almost never reprinted, with a large time
period between the printing sessions if they are. As of this writing, I
believe the game HAS been reprinted, so finding it may not be difficult.
About this FAQ: I do not like if people copy my work without permission.
Feel free to email me to ask permission, but chances are if your site features
work i know to be plagarized, i wont let you host it. The following sites may
host my work as of the latest version.
www.GameFAQs.com
www.CheatCC.com
www.neoseeker.com
www.Mycheats.com (Or www.1up.com)
And thats it for the introduction.
Oh wait, one more thing. I love to throw in a little joke just before and
after an operation. Mostly they're jokes involving other games. Please dont
get offended easily.
-========================= [ UPDATE HISTORY ] ===============================-
V. 1.0 - Initial GameFAQs guide release.
V 1.05 - Several typos edited, added a few parts to Operation 7 and 17 that
I left out by accident. Also made my initial ASCII Art less horrible.
V 1.11 - Added new websites to the Introduction part where i list sites that
can host my FAQ.
V 1.12 - Added S rank strategies for Operations 1-6. Also updated Affilates
a bit.
Coming Soon:
V 1.2 - You want S rank tips? You got S rank tips! Thats right, coming soon to
my guide i'll tell you how to S rank every mission. I would include videos but
i dont have a webcam, plus i'm still quite a bit slower than some of the
better board players. (That and my hands are awful twitchy. I dont play on a
solid surface like most people.)
V 1.3 - After S ranks are added, Version 1.3 may very well be main storyline
additions. Of course if they take away my X missions i'll get mad but thats
beside the point. The story is boring anyway, but i feel inclined to include
it now.
=========================[ Part 2: Game Basics ]==============================
Before I get into the walkthrough, allow me to show you what does what.
[-------------------------------------------------------------]
[A button: Scroll through text, Select options at game startup]
[B button: Go back through menus                              ]
[Start button: Pause the game                                 ]
[-------------------------------------------------------------]
Of course, none of that really matters since you can do everything, and you
WILL have to do most of the game through the touch screen.
Now, most of main game is divided into "Epsiodes". Each episode is generally
up to 12 parts long. Half of each episode is just story text, and half are
actual operations. This guide does NOT cover story text, just operations. If
you want story text, theres a guide that covers the basic story on GameFAQs.
Now, as for the screens on your DS.
=============================== { TOP SCREEN } ===============================
This shows many things that are NOT that important unless you are trying to
get a high rank. The following are found here.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Operation score: This basicly shows how precise you are as a surgeon. This
score basicly includes all the COOL, GOOD, and BAD rankings you get for simple
tasks such as suturing cuts.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Miss count: To be honest, this should never ever come into play unless you are
going for S rank. Basicly, when you screw something up, you get a miss and
includes the following.
-------------------------------
Initially scalpeling too far outside the line or lifting it off the line too
soon.
-------------------------------
Rolling a bandage the wrong way.
-------------------------------
Dropping a foreign object back into the patient
-------------------------------
Of course that only includes a few, but the rest is spoilers for now. If you
miss 20 times, you fail the mission. If you EVER miss that many times, you
probably have REALLY twitchy hands.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Time Limit: This is obvious. If you take more time than the limit, you fail
the mission.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Assistant and Text: Your lovely (most of the time) assistant will be telling
you how to do your job. Mostly its just annoying, but sometimes you will be
told how to go about the mission if its your first time doing it.
Also, i hate when she pops up with an annoying scroll text when my vitals are
at 02 or 01, when i was about to stabilize with 7-8 cuts, and that causes me
to fail. X_X
============================== { BOTTOM SCREEN } =============================
Vitals: Measured from 0-99, this tells you how "alive" the patient is. 0 is
obviously VERY bad. 99 is practicly giving them the OK to leave. You can
increase this by injecting stabilzer, or rubbing gel over NON wounded areas.
If this number ever goes BELOW 0, you fail.
Tools: Described in as much detail as i can below. Going from top left, down.
Note: These are just the most common functions. There are more, but the
game text will notify you on how to use tools for whatever purpose you need.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Laser: This nifty little tool burns off polyps, tumors, and harms parasites
called GUILT, which i wont get into until the first mission that involves it.
Obviously, holding it in one place for too long is VERY bad for the patient,
as it can cause massive bleeding, and doing so will incur a miss.
Note: On certain missions you get an upgraded laser, which never runs out.
It also cant harm the patient for some unexplained reason.
This is a point and click tool.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Gel: This heals up small cuts, and stops big cuts from bleeding. You also
need it for geling over the initial cut, and geling over the initial sutured
cut when you finish up. Other uses include protein membranes and you need it
if youre going to start up someones heart. It also heals a minor amount of
vitals.
Move the Stylus over an area to use.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Drain: Removes massive pools of blood, other various fluids, and tumor tissue.
Since this is an operating game, you would wonder why you dont need to use
this tool every 2 seconds.
To use, point at the affected area, and drag upwards along the drain until OK
shows up.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Forceps: Use these to remove foreign objects from the body, of course not
ALL foreign objects can be removed like this.
Glass/thorns: Point the stylus on the glass, then move it in the opposite
direction from its entry. Once fully removed, place on the glass tray that
appears in the lower right.
Large tumors/Certain parasites: Just move the tumor/parasite over to the
tray in the lower right. A protein membrane may appear in the lower left. If
it does, then use the forceps to place it on the bleeding area, and use gel
on it. More on the membranes later in tools.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hand: Nevemind, since this is the tool for membranes and starting up hearts.
Once a membrane has been geled, rub over it with the hand. Be sure to cover
it completely to get COOL. To start a heart, first rub jel over the blue bar
that appears in the center of the screen, then rub the dark portion when it
reaches the top or bottom
This is just point and move over the affected area with the stylus for usage.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ultrasound: You use this for locating tumors and foreign objects (parasites)
that hide under the skin. Just point and poke the bottom screen where you want
to search, and it will be done. Anything found will show up as a black shadow.
To force it to the surface, we come to the next tool, which is...
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Scalpel: Yes, as if this wasnt obvious, you use this to cut the initial
opening, as well as use it to cut out foreign bodies such as tumors and
parasites. Most of the time when its needed, a yellow square guideline
will appear. To use, trace the scalpel over the line.
Note: In the initial opening, gel the line first.
When ultrasound picks up shadowy objects, quickly run the scalpel over the
shadow before it disappears. Tumors are exempt to the disappearing quirk.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Stitches: You use these to suture cuts. Generally you'll want to do this
as fast as you can, but the game judges suturing harshly sometimes. So,
without any further delays, heres how to suture.
Point the stylus at the beginning of a cut, and draw a zig-zag pattern across
the whole length of the cut. The game judges your rating based on extra length
and how even the stitching is.
Oh, and heres a quirk once you get a fair length into the game. For large
gashes, first drain the blood, then use the forceps to pull the larger side
of the cut over. THEN you can suture it. Be quick or it'll reopen.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Syringe: If this is your first time through the game, you will likely be using
this very often. Usually you will only have access to stabilzer which is green
fluid. To use this, poke the fluid with the stylus and draw upwards. Then,
point almost anywhere on a patient's body and poke until the fluid is drained.
A full stabilzer will heal around 12 vitals. Other Syringe injection works
the same way, except the location is more specific. More on these later.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Bandages: At the end of the operation, you use these to bandage the initial
incision. To use, point at one end of the incision, then move the stylus over
to the other end, then release.
Remember to gel the incision before the bandage, otherwise you'll get a BAD.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Thats pretty much it for the game basics. Things i did NOT explain here will
be explained later in the guide as i get to certain operations.
=============================== { 3: EPISODE 1 } =============================
Pre-Episode Notes: Remember, I'm only covering OPERATION sections, not STORY
sections. Please remember, I'm not going to baby you through procedures that
you have to do repeatedly, like the initial incision.
When you're  ready, read below for operation 1.
Oh and before I forget, Some people use 2 stylus's for this game. It might be
easier that way, but if you want a real challenge, be a man and use only one
like I do. (That means I'm writing this under the impression you only use one
stylus)
----------------------------=== [ OPERATION 1 ] ===---------------------------
-------------------------=== [ STANDARD PROCEDURE ] ===-----------------------
Pre-OP notes: Um, Operation 1. This is basicly teaching you how to use certain
tools that I ALREADY explained how to use above.

[___________________________________________]
Your first operation. Excited much? You only get to use certain tools here,
but its a nice learning experience nonetheless.
Anyway, your patient starts with two lacerations and two glass shards stuck
in his arm.
You are instructed to use to suture the cuts first. Select the
stitches by touching them with your stylus, and heal the cuts by moving your
stylus in a zig zag pattern across the cut. Repeat for the other cut.
When both cuts are healed, you are instructed to remove the glass. Select
the forceps, and press the stylus against where the glass is located. Pull the
stylus on the screen in the opposite direction of entry, then place the glass
on the tray that appears. Repeat for the other glass shard.
Once both shards are removed. Select the gel to heal both cuts. You may notice
vitals increasing if rubbed on a non-wounded area. This is insignificant in
this mission, but you'll need this knowledge for later. Rub the stylus over
the cuts to gel and instantly heal them.
Now you will be instructed to open up this man's arm. Gel the line that
appears, then select your scalpel when instructed and trace the line. Dont
remove the scalpel until all the squares are traced.
Inside the arm are three glass shards. Treat these the same way you treated
the outer shards. I shouldnt have to repeat myself.
I will however state that the closer to the middle of the tray you place the
shard, the better rank you get for removing it.
After all three shard wounds are healed, you will zoom out of the patient.
Suture over the wound you made in this guy's arm, then rub gel over the
bleeding section until you get OK. Then select a bandage and roll it over the
stitched area.
Congratulations, you finished the first operation. Dont get too excited, this
mission is cakewalk compared to later.
----------------------------=== [ OPERATION 2 ] ===---------------------------
------------------------=== [ STANDARD PROCEDURE 2 ] ===----------------------
Pre-OP notes: Once again, this teaches you some other tools that i've already
mentioned how to use.

[___________________________________________]
This is your first tumor removal. Your operation starts by opening this guy's
abdomen. Gel the trace line then scalpel. You should get used to this.
You will zoom in on the patient's stomach. His vitals will immediately drop
to 60. You will be instructed to inject stabilzer into the patient. Select
the syringe, and pull up to load a full dose into the syringe. Then, touch
your stylus to the patient's stomach to inject. You wont advance until a FULL
LOAD is injected.
Once you inject, his vitals shoot to 70, then you can continue. You are
told to use the ultrasound to find the tumor. Select the ultrasound at the top
right, and touch the screen to search for the tumor. If you want to cheat, the
tumor is located at the bottom middle of the stomach.
Once located, a shadow will appear, trace over the shadow with your scalpel.
A gross looking green mass will appear when you do.
Select the drain (middle of the left tools), and touch the stylus against the
green mass (which is actually cytoplasm). Draw the stylus upwards and the
green mass will become a red fleshy mass.
Now, select your scalpel and trace around the lines. Do this before the
cytoplasm reappears.
Now that the tumor is officially excised, select your forceps and drag the
tumor to the tray on the right.
Once that is done, select your forceps again, then drag the membrane from the
bottom left tray and place it over the bleeding wound. Rub gel over it, then
select your hand (bottom left tool) and move the stylus over the membrane.
After 4-5 "sounds" from the membrane it will be in place.
After that, suture the initial incision, gel over it, and then roll the
bandage.
Operation Complete.

Pre-OP notes: First operation you have access to all tools. However, you wont
use them all. Also, that ugly nurse finally leaves.

[___________________________________________]
Multiple tumors? Oh no!
As is the usual starting method, gel the line and scalpel over it.
Whats this? Inflamed areas? Thats not good. Select your syringe and fill it
with blue fluid. then press on the white pulsing areas to remove them. It
should only take half an injection to remove one inflamed area.
Now that that's out of the way, we can remove the tumors. Use ultrasound to
find them, or you can cheat and use the section below to find them without it.
1. If you've paused your game before, its just above where the P would be.
2. Go down from the first tumor, and to the left a little to find number 2.
3. Go right. Near the bottom of the organ you'll find the final tumor.
Once you've cut them out and exposed the cytoplasm, drain one at a time.
However, do not remove the actual tumor mass until you've excised all three.
Once you have, remove them one at a time, then place the membrane over the
wounds, gel, and massage like last operation.
After you've finished all three, suture the initial cut, gel, and bandage.
Operation Complete. Say bye to Mary by the way, you wont miss her a bit.

Yay, polyp removal!
If operating on the pharynx requires utmost care, why are we treating it like
every single other operation? Anyway, gel the line and scalpel.
Hm, thats a narrow area to work with, better use the new MAGNIFIER TOOL.
To use it, select what would normally be the ultrasound, and draw a C shape.
(Dont ever draw a circle like the game says, it barely ever works)
Anyway, draw a C shape with the magnifier near the large area of blood, then
drain the blood away using the uh...drain.
Those purple dots are polyps and we're going to get rid of them! Select the
laser (top left tool), then press against the polyps for a second to remove.
Gel over the area where the polyp once was.
An operation event occurs where blood will pool back up and you will have to
drain it again. This occurs if you burn off too many polyps at once and dont
gel quick enough. Try not to let it occur too often.
Anyway, once this area is clear, unmagnify to find another blood pool. Drain
it and remove the polyps like instructed above. You will have to repeat this
procedure three more times after the second. None are any different than the
first.
After you're done, you'll automaticly zoom out of the patient. Suture, gel,
bandage and you're done.
Operation Complete.

use Ultrasound to find tumors. Ever.

Ready for more tumor removal?
Gel and line the scalpel, and get ready for an ugly sight in the intestines.
Oh my...there are 4 small inflamed areas and 3 large areas. You've dealt
with this before, use the syringe to inject blue anti-inflammitory into
the inflammed (pulsing white) areas. The large areas take around a full dose,
and the small areas take half a dose.
Want to cheat without using the ultrasound using my advice? Not going to work
this time. I wont tell you their locations because you should know how to
use ultrasound by now. Just know that there are four tumors.
You should also know how to remove them by now. Drain cytoplasm, then scalpel
the trace line. Dont remove until you've excised all four tumors though.
Remove one tumor, then place the membrane over it. If you remove all four
before placing a membrane, your vitals will drop faster than a rock. Anyway,
gel the membranes then massage them evenly for your coveted COOL rank.
After that, you'll be instructed to ultrasound for more abnormalities. Just
use the ultrasound 10 times anywhere, and then you'll zoom out of the patient
and of course theres the suture, gel, and bandage of the initial incision.
Operation Complete.

this is technicly your first heart operation.

Yes, you read starting vitals right. This is the first operation you're in
danger of losing due to vital loss. Lets do this!
I know at first you're thinking "OMG This is impossible i'm going to lose 3
seconds." His vitals wont move from 01 until you recover his pulse. Anyway rub
some gel on that bar that just appeared in the middle of the screen, then
place your hand on the darker part of the bar and follow it until you get OK.
When you do, his vitals are restored to 30. Time to clean up these wounds.
First, fix up the lacerations by suturing them and geling over the small cuts.
Then drag the glass out with forceps and place them in the try. Be careful not
to drop any on this operation, because of the lower maximum vitals. Use
stabilzer to heal as necessary.
Once you fix the outer wounds, gel the trace line and scalpel to enter...the
HEART!
Wow...theres a lot of glass shards. Remove only TWO at a time, and be sure you
dont drop ANY. His vitals drop MUCH faster here than outside. Remember to gel
over where the glass used to be, just be quick about it.
When all the glass is removed, OMG 01 VITALS! Do what you did at the beginning
of the operation and his vitals will be restored back to what they were. And
then...
Wow... a LARGE piece of glass emerges from the heart. This is MUCH bigger than
the previous pieces, but it still shouldnt be a problem. Just be extra careful
not to drop it. Also, when its placed on the tray, vitals will drop around 4
points per second, so suture the wound fast.
Just when you think its all over, suddenly a laceration the entire length of
the heart appears. You must be thinking its all over. Suddenly a star appears
to be drawn on screen and the screen will turn black and white except for the
laceration. This is the Healing Touch. It basicly slows down the game timer,
vital loss, and other various things in game while you still operate at normal
speed.
Oh by the way, your vitals just dropped to 05. It doesnt matter since you lose
vitals really slow now, so just take your time. This is a large laceration, so
if its your first time it might take you a few tries to suture correctly. Use
Stabilizer if you screw up once or twice.
Once sutured, your vitals are restored to max, and then you can suture, gel,
and bandage the incision! Congrats, you just beat Episode 1's final operation.

Pre-Episode Notes: let me state that these missions are quite a bit harder
than the previous episodes. Remember theres always challenge mode if you want
to get more practice.

Have you heard jokes about the spleen before? I have. Time to operate on it.
Gel the line and incise! Welcome to the spleen, I'm almost sure it doesnt look
like that for real. Anyway, magnify the purple organ.
See those circles moving around in the artery? Those are Thrombi, and we're
going to remove them. To remove them, ultrasound the moving circles so they
become more opaque, then use forceps, then scalpel over it. After that, use
the drain to suck up the thrombi (do so until you get OK), then gel over where
the thrombi was.
That wasnt so hard was it? Also, try not to let thrombi reach the end of the
artery where it converges. You'll incur vital loss if you do. If its your
first time through the game, i'm sure one or two will reach the end. Dont
worry, the vital loss isnt something you cant handle. Remove 5 thrombi to move
to the next phase.
Whats this? The Thrombi are suddenly moving four times faster! Derek auto
activates the Healing Touch (HT from now on). Suddenly the thrombi are now
moving even SLOWER than the first phase, so this shouldnt be much of a problem
There are seven thrombi to remove this time. If you had no problems last phase
then this shouldnt even be hard.
Once you remove all seven, suture, gel, and bandage the initial incision.
Operation Complete.

Pre-OP Notes: This isnt an Operation. Why am I writing this?

Yes, this is a for fun mission. Here you learn how to use the Healing Touch
whenever you want.
First of all, touch the hand icon twice. This turns the icon into a star. This
is what you do whenever you want to use the HT.
Anyway, start by tracing the over the star. Try to do it quickly. The star
will fade and you'll have to do it again. Then the outline will be gone.
Repeat what you just did 3 more times.
That wasnt so hard was it?
Operation Complete.
----------------------------=== [ OPERATION 9 ] ===---------------------------
-----------------------------=== [ AWAKENING ] ===----------------------------
Pre-OP notes: This is the first mission you can manually use HT. To do so,
double tap the hand tool so it becomes a star, then draw a star on the bottom
screen. The Larger, quicker, and more precise you are, the more time you spend
in HT. Of course, using HT kills your rank, so use it only if you have to.

Anumerisms...sounds like tumors! Anyway, gel then incise the line.
Look, a little red bump. Use the magnifier near it. Prevent that anumerism
from bursting! Select your syringe and fill it full of the orange sedative.
Then, trace the line with the scalpel. Now it wont burst anymore, but you
still need to remove it. Use the forceps to drag it to the tray. Oh no, now
the blood vessel is bleeding! Drain the blood using the uh...drain, then use
the forceps to drag the two pieces of vessel together, then suture them.
Wow, that was intense! Heal vitals to around max then magnify out.
Oh noes! Another Anumerism. Treat this just like the last one.
After you treat that. Two more show up. This guy clearly has health issues.
This time, when you scalpel one, dont remove it, and instead go to the other
and treat it until the vessels are connected. Then, connect the first's
vessel. Why do this? After you treat the first one, Two more anumerisms will
appear. Try to finish up both at the same time. Then treat the next two the
same way you treated these two.
If this is your first time on this mission, i suggest you get HT ready. I'll
provide instructions on both HT and non-HT. Then, FIVE ANUMERISMS APPEAR!
If you use Healing Touch, this wont be hard. Inject all five with sedatives
then scalpel them all out. then, treat one blood vessel at a time, so you dont
have around 5 blood pools at once, thus massive vital loss.
If you DONT use Healing Touch...get ready for a challenge. Magnify so you can
see all five anumerisms at once, then beginning at the top left. Inject the
sedative, the excise with the scalpel. Do the same to the bottom left. Dont
remove either yet.
At this point you should have three anumerisms still about to burst. Inject
sedative into one at a time. When you get them down to size, excise one
whenever possible unless another is about to burst. When two are left, the
process becomes much easier. When all five have been excised, treat the
end-removal process like i described in the HT version.
Once you are done with the 5 anumerisms (god i hate this word), suture, gel,
and bandage the initial incision.
Operation Complete. Anyone else reminded of the fruit candy "Gushers"?

Pre-OP Notes: This operation only has a three minute time limit. Not that it
matters, because the operation is very short.

Here's where the real fun begins, ready to operate? Gel and incise the line.
Woah, there are quite a few normal lacerations, and 3 larger ones which have
MASSIVE BLEEDING.
If you are quick, deal with the large lacerations (gashes) first which i will
describe below. If you are new, deal with the normal lacerations first. You
should know how to do these by now.
To deal with gashes, first drain the blood on them, then use forceps to pull
the LARGER skin area over to the other. The game likes to fumble and give you
misses a lot for these. Anyway, once you do that, suture it like a normal cut.
If you take too long, the gash will re-open or start bleeding again.
Once you are done with the laceration treatment, thats pretty much it for the
operation. Suture, gel, and bandage.
Operation Complete. For a high school girl, she sure is underdelop.. *is shot*
----------------------------=== [ OPERATION 11 ] ===--------------------------

Ready to kick ass and chew...oh wait this is a surgery game, sorry. Gel and
incise the line as usual.
Whoa lady, what kind of drugs have you been taking? Again, it doesnt matter
if you start on the gashes or normal lacerations first, just pump your vitals
using stabilizer to max before you finish the last one. So you can get a good
score.
Yay you're done...wait...WHAT THE HELL?!? A laceration just formed on its own.
Use the ultrasound when another laceration forms to find a moving shadow. Then
scalpel it out. EWWW A MOVING FISH THINGY!
Welcome to Kyriaki, the first strain of GUILT. These lovely sea of blood
creatures swim around your patient's organs and make many lacerations for you
to fix! Until you're told how to kill them that is. Anyway, to kill them, just
tap it with your laser! The Kyriaki will then zip across the organ. Hit it
once more and it will die.
Yay! Once either all cuts are sutured and/or vitals are above 80, the next
phase will start. ...What, you thought there was only one? That would make
this operation too easy! Two more lacerations form. Of course, the first two
dont do any actual damage. After the text ends from your assistant, the next
two will do damage. I believe the cuts do around 5-7 damage each. Anyway, from
now on when you cut one of these things out, they'll leave a laceration.
Anyway, use ultrasound to locate both and scalpel them out. At best you'll
only have to deal with 6 lacerations. Once both are dead, treat all of the
lacerations except one, the raise vitals to at least 90. Treat the last cut.
OMG. 3 large lacerations in the shape of an asterisk (*) formed. These dont
actually do any damage except from bleeding. Use ultrasound to find the
Kyriaki. This one is triple the size of the earlier ones. Anyway, laser it and
it will go back under the skin. You have to repeat this three times. If vitals
get low, rub gel on the wounds to stop bleeding and vital loss for a bit. Once
the mature Kyriaki is dead, suture all wounds. Heal vitals if you have to.
Remember, you have the HT if you're having trouble at any time during this
operation. But also remember you can only use it ONCE in an operation, so use
it wisely.
Once you finish treating all the lacerations, suture, gel, and bandage the
initial incision.
Operation Complete! Hmmm...I wonder if Kyriaki taste like manta ray.
----------------------------=== [ OPERATION 12 ] ===--------------------------

Pre-OP notes: ACTUAL HEART SURGERY! You also need to remember how to restart
a heart! Not that it matters much after this.

Poor little girl, lets make her heart all better again! Gel and Incise.
Oh, you have to gel and incise her heart too. However, before you can Incise..
OH NOES, FLATLINE...kinda. Use gel and your hand to massage her heart into
working again. This will happen randomly throughout the mission until i say
otherwise. Trying to do anything else while she's flatlining is an automatic
miss.
Anyway, now gel and incise her heart. Then magnify the blood pool. Drain the
blood and a trace line will appear on the valve. Quickly trace the first line,
then the second. Then trace around the whole valve. Usually blood will pool
again when the whole valve is excised, so quickly drain it again. Also, the
heart usually goes out of whack again here. Anyway, once all distractions are
taken care of, use the forceps to move the valve to the lower right tray, then
place the synthetic valve on the lower left tray where the old valve was. Then
suture it into place!
Yay, no more heart attacks! Anyway, zoom out and suture the heart incision.
Then the usual suture, gel, and bandage. You're done here.
Operation, and Episode Complete.
=============================== { 5: EPISODE 3 } =============================
Pre-Episode Notes: This Episode mostly revolves around learning how to treat
the first three strains of GUILT, and other various procedures. This episode
also contains the last "normal" procedure. Get ready, here we go!

Such an original operation name, eh? Gel and Incise.
5 normal lacerations and 3 gashes greet you on what LOOKS like an intestine.
Suture all the normal lacerations first, then heal the gashes like in
operations 10 and 11. Refer to those on how to heal gashes. Remember to heal
vitals to max if this is your first time.
First Kyriaki wave has two infants. Ultrasound and scalpel them out before
they cause too many lacerations. A nifty thing to point out if youre having
trouble finding them and they're cutting the patient too much, the maximum
amount of cuts they can cause before excision is nine. Two hits with the
laser kills them.
After you kill both, THREE infants show up. This might be trouble if this is
your first time. Deal with these the same way as above, but pay more attention
to your vitals. when all three are dead, suture all lacerations but one, and
heal vitals to max.
Suture that last cut and the mature kyriaki appears with its trademark 3 large
lacerations that do absolutely no damage. Its lacerations after DO cause
damage though, so deal with it as fast as possible. Remember it dives back
under after each laser hit, so you'll have to deal with 3 excise cuts.
3 hits naturally kills it. Suture all cuts to zoom out.
Suture, Gel, Bandage and you're done.
Operation Complete.

Time to save your best friend's little sister! Gel and Incise.
EWWW. WTH has she been eating! There's yellow and purple spots all over the
affected area. Oh...those are tumors. Laser them till they go away. They spawn
mini-tumors while they still live, but those dont do much damage unless there
are around 10 on screen at once.
Once all are gone, raise vitals for the few seconds you have. The next thing
that comes up reminds me of an attack from "The Guardian Legend" for NES.
Welcome to Deftera. Moving tumors! This should be more fun than stationary
tumors.
Anyway, you're going to have to wait until the red and blue tumors bump into
each other. They're cannibals, so they'll try to eat each other. This is where
you come in, and you use the drain to remove their tissue while they try to
eat each other. Of course, while they are on screen, they spawn the nasty
large tumors that spawn little ones. Remove these ASAP unless the Deftera are
fused. Drain the Deftera three times to "defeat" it. Each drain removes a bit
from its color, keep this in mind for the next part.
Once its been drained 3 times, the Deftera pulses...then dies. However, as
long as the trace line is there, it'll spawn large tumors at a relatively
fast rate. Quickly excise the Deftera and remove the tumors immediately after.
Then you treat this like a normal tumor, remove the Deftera with forceps, then
place a membrane over it, gel it in, and massage! Easy, right?
No, you still have another area you need to operate on! First close up the
first area like usual. Suture, gel, and bandage. Dont bother with vitals.
See, you get 99 to start with on the second area! Gel and Incise.
OMG, theres TWO pairs of these things now. Also, you have to be more careful
now. As there are two more conditions added to this battle.
1) Do not let two of the same color collide. Vitals will drop by around 10,
and they will automaticly spawn large tumors.
2) Dont let any color collide with a fused pair. If they do they'll break up
AND drop vitals by 10. Oh and more tumors.
And this is where your handy invention called GEL comes in. Place a circle of
it around a fused pair, and it will turn away the unfused pair for a few
seconds. Once you drain one pair, dont drain the other. The two like colors
can no longer collide. However, they can still break up fused pairs.
Just kill off tumors and drain Deftera when necessary. When one is completely
drained, excise it ASAP and kill the tumors it spawns, but dont remove it
unless the other pair isnt currently fused. Then just treat this part like
the previous part.
After you completely remove the second Deftera, suture, gel, and bandage.
Operation Complete.

The bomb has been planted. Ready to begin? Gel and I...nevermind. I'm kidding.
Anyway, to begin get out your magnifier and zoom in on the water tanks. Use
your drain when instructed to pull up some water from the RIGHT tank. Then,
push it back down into the left tank. This is the ignitor, and assuming you
are fast enough, you wont ever have to come back here again.
Now, zoom out, and zoom in on the bottom portion of the bomb. This is the
dynamite! See those yellow rods sticking out? Use your forceps to pull those
out CAREFULLY. Once you pull two out, the detonation device becomes active!
Keep the lines on the silver boxes from reaching the top, or you fail. Use
gel or stabilizer to lower the meters on the boxes.
Pull the rest of the yellow rods as fast as you can. Once all 6 are out, you
wont have to touch the water tanks again. Once done, zoom out once you feel
you're safe with the silver box lines, and zoom in on the microchip section.
Here, you are to laster the microchips that connect to the silver boxes. If
you laser a wrong chip, you instantly fail. Of course, you expect me to cheat
for you, but unlike other guides, i wont do that. Do the work yourself like I
did the first time. Just trace a silver box wire to the chips then zap the
chip until it disappears. Once a chip is gone, you wont have to worry about
its connected silver box again.
Well thats it...no wait no its not. The timer suddenly shifts to 15 seconds
until detonation! Remember how never to cut the red wire in bombs? Now you
HAVE to cut the red wire. Cut all of them in 15 seconds to complete the
mission. Of course this isnt without quirks, because if you cut a white wire,
you automaticly fail.
Anyway, once thats done...congrats, you disarmed a bomb!
Oper...er...The bomb has been defused! Counter Terrorists win!
