Caduceus Database

The Altar is the sixth episode of the seventh chapter of Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2.

Story[]

The strike force identifies Mercer, who's hiding out in the laboratory in the depths of the plant. Heather steps forth and tries to talk Mercer out of his madness. Mercer goes to unveil his ultimate goal: All his Neo-GUILT research is so that he can find a means to revive his comatose wife. Bythos has already been maturing within Tracy's body, and Mercer injects a stimulant to attempt to bring her back to life.

Naturally, his attempt goes horribly awry, and Tracy falls into critical condition. While Derek operates to save Tracy's life, Mercer escapes further into the plant to unleash his last resort...

Conference[]

Briefing Dialogue
I will now explain the patient's condition. There are lacerations on her left lung, presumed to be caused by the Neo-GUILT, "Bythos."
It's the GUILT Ms. Fisher was infected with...!
D-Doctor... My mother has been in a coma for three years... Will she be strong enough to endure the surgery...?
Don't worry. We'll save your mother!
Doctor...! Thank you...
There are two objectives for this operation:
- Treat the lacerations on the left lung.
- Eliminate Bythos.
Please use the laser on Bythos's core, and extract the core while it is separated from the tissue. Let's do this, Doctor... for Heather's sake.
Right. We'll give it our all!
We won't let her die!

Operation[]

This is the same Bythos operation that's no different from episode 7-1. You have a vitals cap of 70, though, so you have less room for error. Use all your techniques you've learned fighting Bythos to excel at this operation.

  • No misses: 500
  • Completed with [60/90/120] left: 500

Getting XS[]

There is a drastic score difference between S and XS. Try to get as many COOLs as possible from suturing lacerations. If you have the room to do so, let Bythos attack a few more times to get extra lacerations to suture.
