Trauma Center: Under the Knife

Part 34: - Mission X-1

34 - Mission X-1

The moment you've all been waiting for. At last, welcome to the X-Missions. The first X Mission is unlocked in Challenge Mode after viewing the credits, and beating each mission unlocks the next GUILT.

They are extremely difficult. One way I've heard them described is that it is "Trauma Center with hemophiliac patients." The GUILT hit harder and faster than ever before, and keeping your patient alive long enough to figure out what to do will be a struggle. I would go so far as to estimate that only 1 in 100 players manage to finish them, perhaps even less, let alone S-Rank them. Most Trauma Center players view the X Missions as unnecessary or a bonus only crazy people would try, and something that doesn't count towards having "completed the game."

This LP is going to change that.

Or maybe cement that, I'm not sure.

The X Missions will give us some backstory into Delphi's origins. Finishing the X Missions will also grant us a (brief) Secret Ending. Finishing them in Second Opinion gives you a joke message from the development team, which I will include.

That all said...

Let's begin the operation!



"Man created swords to kill, and was, in turn, killed by swords. Don't you see? Mankind has always sought ways to achieve death."

I failed here so you could see the dialogue when you lose. I had originally intended to show my failed runs, but then I did a test run and realized there wouldn't be any. Since Kyriaki is the hardest of the X Missions and I got through without failing, you will never see that screen again.
