(Warning: This game features excessive cartoon violence, adult themes and potentially offensive language.)
Alan Probe is back! In the new sequel to the popular surgery simulation game that we all fell in love with back in 2008, the good people at Adult Swim have come up with something gorier, more excessive, and far more satisfying than any of us could have ever hoped for. Currently, only the first two chapters of this planned three-part installment are available; keep your eyes peeled for the final chapter in the weeks to come!
The story picks up exactly where we left off... well, ALMOST exactly. 51 years after we left off if you want to be specific, but who's counting? Although the doctor may have gotten gotten as rusty as his dubious tools over the years, the methods for performing the operations have changed little: choose the necessary tool with either the click of the mouse or pressing the corresponding number key on the keyboard, and then use your mouse to slice, zap, and knit your way through an increasingly freakish cast of patients. You're given a slew of tools to work with, mostly familiar from the original, although some of them have been slightly modified. This time around, though, the tools can be upgraded between patients, making them faster and more powerful. The game has a surprisingly enjoyable story to go along with it that ties directly into the plot of the original, and some of the tools have been updated for smoother gameplay, but the heart of the original can still be seen in every crazy operation and lunatic patient.
Alan Probe: Amateur Surgeon 2 blows the original out of the water in almost every respect. Although graphics haven't changed much, the gameplay has been given a number of tweaks to remove some of the frustrations we experienced in the first installment. In fact, the developers seem to have taken audience feedback to heart when creating the sequel, and even make a clever in-game nod to one of the more frustrating utilities of the original. Although the game can be difficult at time, there's really only one point where it can seem unreasonably difficult, and that's due to lack of instruction more than anything else (you'll know it when you see it, but remember that they mouse is not the only input source that the game recognizes). But overall, Alan Probe: Amateur Surgeon 2 stands out as the sequel fans of the original have been hoping for. A gory, over-the top game of the highest quality, the esteemed makeshift doctor's return from retirement is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
How do you beat the octopus?
What do you do with the squid?
I've had it with the typing portion. The letters scroll by way too fast, and if you miss so much as one word, you might as well give up and restart.
Squid:
shock his tonsils, then when he's stunned, chainsaw off his limbs. QUICKLY hoover up the ink, cos it saps health at an alarming rate.
Now, how do I ace the woman with crabs?
stupid wasp...
GRRRR!!
yeah i was at the wasp too when i realized i couldn't beat this game with a touchpad. but fun though.
For the squid zap the dangaly thingy in it mouth then cut off its tenticals then after all the tenticals are cut off zap it one more time. then vacum the ink then you will know what to do
I'm having trouble with one surgery...
In act 2, on Jimmy, I'm having a hard time getting the eggs out without having it suddenly burst into flames and have the moth hatch. Is there some way to avoid this? >_>;
It's really frustrating trying to do certain stages. I can NOT get anything above an F on certain surgeries. >:|
Fun game, although can be annoying at times.
For the letters with the pig ...
You can use the keyboard too.
The crabs ...
Keep you mouse away from it until its near the middle, then you can chase it back to the edge.
I'm personally stuck on the last level of Act 2. How do you beat the giant leech/worm?
"For the squid zap the dangaly thingy in it mouth then cut off its tenticals then after all the tenticals are cut off zap it one more time. then vacum the ink then you will know what to do"
...funnily enough, no i don't! what on earth do I do once I've destroyed the squid?! I've tried everything except the correct solution!
This is a fairly good game but there needs to be more indication of what you are expected to do at times
ok then if you dont know what to do then pull out the tenteculs after deystroying the squid. then patch up the cuts. after all that you should be done.
David :
Once you've destroyed the squid, make sure you've vacuumed every drop of ink and healed any cut you may have made with the chainsaw.
Then you'll be taken back outside the heart, and at this point you'll be able to remove the tentacles.
I'm also going to repeat my comment from the Link Dump : IMO the reason this game is better than the first one is that you're not required to perform your actions perfectly and extremely quickly.
More puzzles, less dexterity, makes it much more fun to me.
Hope to see a third one!
In regards to the squid, the problem might be that the ink is going off-screen, where you can't see it. Try moving the vacuum slowly around the edges of the playable area, see if that helps any.
I'm not sure what to do with the
piglet and its board.
It just gets too fast after a while!
can some please explain scoring to me?
e.g. i cannot ace scarlet, altough in my terms im doing pretty good.
Once you learn the indispensable "quick syringe trick" (keep left click down, right click, ignore the menu, point to the endpoint, left click) this game becomes very, very, very enjoyable and fun. Much more so than a "similar game series" on the Nintendo DS, in example.
I found the difficulty level jumping all over the place (the crabs were next to impossible, the beauty treatment a breeze even if it was a much more advanced stage), but the later puzzle levels in particular were great. And the clown stage is simply pure genius.
For anyone having issues finishing the squid
zap the mouth one last time after cutting all the arms and then use the chainsaw to cut along the row of stars on its head, that will finish it
@fuzzyface
It's mainly being quick, and not making mistakes. If the guy goes 'OW!', you start again :)
Get those combos rockin'!
Fuzzyface:
Scoring is based on a combo system. You get an 'awesome' for doing something correctly. You get a multiplier for doing this many times, +1 for each awesome. So 4 awesomes in a row = 10x the points (1x + 2x + 3x + 4x). If you mess up in a serious way (drop an object with the tongs, touch out of bounds with the syringe), it drops the multiplier back to zero. Also, 'fixing' any mistake you make, like a pizza cut or a chainsaw gash, does not add to your multiplier or points. Lastly, it does not appear that time adds to your score.
So the key to getting a high score and a better grade is to not make mistakes, and to do as many awesomes as you can...
Which can be 'farmed' by certain tasks that spread damage over time without your involvement, such as poison and fire burns. Let the damage spread, keep your health up, cure some for the bonus points and added multiplier, and just make sure you end the level before time and your patient expire.
@chippo
For the Dwayne level on Act 2:
After you've done the first bit, chainsaw that insect thing, and pick up the green fog with the syringe. Then when the big worm appears, apply the pizza slice to his face. While he is dazed, pick one of his eyes and give that mother an injection. Do a couple more to keep up your heart rate, and then heal the wounds. Repeat for each eye, then sew up and get the hell out of there. Simples :)
I'm stuck on Peeping Tom (the eye surgery guy) in Act 2 - I don't even know where to start...can't seem to find any clues either! :(
What do you do when you get to the lips of the 4th woman on act 2?
For Act 2, the last stage, how do you beat the worm?
Well, I believed I've finished the game, with varying scores for each of my patients. Difficult but doable on my touchpad. But there seem to be a "?" blank at the end of each act... are they some kind of secret unlockable surgery I've yet to uncover? Must I ace all the previous surgeries?
Some hints:
Pig
Use your keyboard.
Squid
Electrocute the wobbly thing in the back of it's throat (do octopuses really have those? Really?). Then saw off a tentacle. Repeat that until you've only got the head left, which you then saw at until it explodes into death. Er, yeah.
Wasps
Zap them, clean up the mess, heal the guy, and wait for more moths to appear. When they've finished (ended up white and bloated and unchanging) pick them up and put them into your surgical tray thing.
Bob Blah:
use the green injection on each half lip(4 total)
For Act 2, the last stage
Cut the worm with the pizza cutter, and then when it's busy, pop one of the three pustules on its head with your syringe.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
Thank you very much Mr. G, with this info I could already ace whole act 1.
And we learned an important lesson for medicine, you do not want to heal as fast as possible, you want to maximize dollars ... ehh points!
Any hints for the captain? I've done a perfect OP and still only get a C. Also dont see any places here where you could farm...
@fuzzyface
Zap the squid repeatly even after you sawed off its 5 arms, aka don't kill the squid too quickly, also making sure you have enough time to clean up after you're done
score for A in the captain stage:
60,000
@Acidifiers: Yes, that's exactly what you have to do.
@fuzzyface:
Each time you shock the octopus, you get another awesome combo. So at any point before you kill it, you can shock it and then wait for it to rage, then rinse and repeat. Do that until you have just enough time to kill it, remove its tentacles and close all the wounds. I kept shocking it until there was about 1 minute left.
BTW, Amateur Surgeon 2 has only 2 parts (both of which have been released now), not 3. :)
Nope,there are three -- there are two "regular episodes" and a Christmas special.
Having problems once I get to the lips on the woman (stage 4) ... Princess something. Any help would be much appreciated...
ThemePark
Thank you, after tantalizing the octopus long enough I assed him as well and got the secret end patient!
how do you do the lips on the princess im kinda stuck
The first secret mission is
Vladimir Ampire
This guy is in a perpetual state of dead, so don't worry about health for this one. Simply remove his stakes.
Here comes the gimmick for this one. You may notice that the injecion tool is full of red liquid. Simply grab the vaccuum and douse his injuries in blood. Using the pain-away on this guy will do a grand total of nothing, and constant use will break your combo.
Cut him open. Remove the garlic, one, two, use injection on poison, three four, more blood-on-injury action and finish off with a nice round of metal detector.
Now comes the hard part. You should have put the injection tool to max by the end of the second mission, so this shouldn't be too hard. Use flame tool on the head of the vampire bat, and quickly inject it three times before it gets angry and sprays you with blood. Repeat twice more, vaccuum any stray cuts or accidental burns, repeat for the exterior wound and BAM, you're finished.
Not a hard mission, by any stretch of the word. It's just one big gimmick level with an interesting mechanic. I thought it was pretty good, anyway.
"So you zap the squid's tonsils with the car battery and then use the dustbuster to clean up? Gotcha! But what do I do about the clown's intestines?"
This is by FAR the most hilariously bizarre game strategy thread I've ever seen :)
For the second secret person
Dr. Bleed
Use the tongs on his finger, and then fire on the attachment, the pink bottle on his mouth, and the blue vial on his heart, inject him with the syringe, and then frantically switch between these to keep him above forty, quickly reattach his finger when it falls off, and you should be good. This is possibly the most nerve wracking of the operations.
If you are having trouble injecting, simply right click right after inserting the syringe, and click on the goal point. Simple.
And to clarify, the "Attachment" is the stitches on the finger. I meant to put "The place where it attaches"
Hmm... I was on the guy you have to use a torch on, the one with the wasp. I killed the wasp, sucked up the poison, cauterized and cured every wound, but I didn't leave his chest... what's going on? Was it just a glitch, or did I have to do something else?
Anon:
You can also use the electrohits for another + once in a while. Its pretty easy combining all these.
i can't seem to type the word using my keyboard! nothing's coming out! and what's the word anyway? [pig level]
Evil, That place is tricky, red wounds in a red background can be hard to spot.
For the lips on princess scarla use the injection tool to increase the lip size
with the pig
no matter what I type, I never do anything! what are you even supposed to type? what's wrong with my keyboard?
I'm having the same problem as several others with the pig... I'm reading all these hints about typing something, but there's nothing to type! Please help, I have no clue what to do...
For those having problems with the pig:
Remember, a speak 'n spell in a pig is like a hoverboard on water. It can't go unless it has power...
FWIW, re: the pig, I got the keyboard to work (i.e., to accept typed inputs instead of having to mouse click keys on the screen) on IE but never on Firefox 3.6.6.
The pirate that swalloed the squid
How do I start? There are eyes on his body that keep following the cursor. I honestly don't know what to do.
Princess Starla
What do I do with her skin?
OK forget all that, what do I do with Peeping Tom?
I am completely stumped. What on earth are you supposed to do with the stiches? I "stich along the length of a cut" but nothing happens.
Okay, now I've finished with the final boss. I've killed all the bugs, sewed up all the wounds, but I can't leave his chest. What do I have to do next?
Dylan: WIth the squid,
think of the eyes as wounds. Try another tool.
Ok, what am I supposed to do with the syringe? I click and hold, and it does nothing. If I move, it hurts the guy
Finally I got full 'A's. In order to unlock bonus stages u need to get full 'A's in each act. Sadly there is no more bonus stage after getting 10 'A's.
after you zap and took off all the tentacles you shock him on "the dangly thing" you use the chainsaw and run it against the stars and he will squirt ink
Syringe: you're supposed to move your mouse over the dark green track, but you can just right click and go straight to the other end of the syringe.
I'm now occupied getting the bonus patients. Act 2 is out of the question at the moment, but in Act 1, that's a different story. The very last patient is predictably the only one which I can't achieve an A on. Any special exploits, or is it the classic "Do it as quickly as possible" fare?
@Chaotick
I believe the problem is the bee. Always handle the poison first and quickly suck them up and then either cure the small cut or use injection. The bee will land every 2nd time it shows up, so you can keep your work at hand if you know it's not the time he gonna land. After being shocked 3 times, the bee would be dead with one last poison. U can leave it there and handle it last to get some extra combo if u got enough time and health (I didnt cuz I got enough score for A).
P.S. I will use injection at the beginning of the game, keeping the health over 200. It makes your life easier in the bee stage. Use the injection fast and accurate.
Should not be hard since u beat ACT2. Good luck.
Where do I start with Peeping Tom?
For Peeping Tom:
Open up his eyelids with the tongs.
what do i do with the guy in the striped suit? i dont know what to do after i zap the green bugs and put out the fires. i have tried to syringe, cut, vacuum, and buirn the little bubbble clusters, and they dont go away
I finished this a week ago, and I've just come back and done the bonus stages.
Definitely an improvement over the original.
One possible bug I found - if you accidentally cause a burn wound on the first bonus patient, it doesn't seem possible to heal it.
Im expecting a part three or a game 3. I want MORE!
I need help! I can't beat the Mystery Boss at the end of act one. Help please----
Stargirl123
I don't know why but on the first guy in the barn on act 2 I can't get the money out properly in the second section.....I have tried multiple times but it just doesn't want to work right..Is there something I am not doing correctly..He is my last one before I get the last bonus mission.
how to beat the woman with the crabs mission please anyone tell me
so what do i do after putting the electronic eye in peeping tom?
@JIGuest:
For Peeping tom, after you implant the electronic eye, you have to set the purple spots on the left on fire, then douse it out.
Oh, great, what do I do with the massive rumbling thing in the president (The bug after the centipede)?
How do you beat the squid? I got the tentacles off, but when I zapped the thing again, it didn't die. So, how do you kill the squid itself?
For the pig,you take the car battery and zap the "Type 'n' Spell" thing. Not like your trying to electrocute anything,just two small little zaps.Then whatever words come up on the Type n Spell,you have to type on your keyboard,if you dont do it fast enough the pad catches on fire.
ok ive read all the comments for the pig one. you guys say you can use your keyboard but everytime i try to use my keyboard it doesnt work. do you have to press a button or something?
Okay so in act two on jimmy the spider im stuck. ive already killed the bugs and got rid of the fires and healed the little blisters but what do i do with the big groups of blister type things?
how to you kill the centipede in the president for act 2? i've been trying for about half an hour already... :/
how do you finish the president one on act 2 i have been struggling with it forever!!!
I have no idea how to beat alan the president which is the last stage. i keep trying and i can never do it in time.
Princess Starla: Use the syringe in her mouth
you pick up the blisters
How do you beat the worm thing in the president on act two? I CAN NOT figure it out!! OMG!!! HELP!!
how do I start on peeping tom in act 2?
For the pig-keyboard issues:
Try reloading the page and try again. I did that while playing on Google Chrome and it worked. Hope this helps
For the spider
Use the elec to zap the flies, then use the vacuum to put out the fire. After killing the flies, there will be either broken eggs or yet-to-hatch eggs. For broken eggs just remove them using the thongs. For unhatched ones, use the thongs also but lift it and take it away slowly, if not it'll hatch and them you'll have flies again. Hope this helps =)
Okay, please help me! I cannot beat the mystery boss at the end of Act 1! Come on!
Yay~! Finally cleared all with "A" ranks. =D
@Anon
What problem are you facing? The wasp? If that's the root cause, then you should try to heal all the small wounds when it flies around and then wait for it to stop for awhile to electrocute it. I think it flies around twice before it stops for a while on its 3rd time. Good Luck!
Thank you so much! i finally beat hhim!
If you get an A Rank on all of the surgeries on file 2 you get to Ressurect Dr.Bleed! pull his thumb back on Cauterize it together cough syrup his mouth holy water his heart and continuously do so, put thumb back on fast if falls off the cauterize will keep form falling below 30... also you must inject him do all this repeatedly to keep the heart rate above 30 for 30 seconds and ta-da Dr.Bleed is Zombified? maybe i odnt really know he was sorta an angel.
how do you get past the worm on act 2?
What I must do with the calculator?, when you are operating the pig...
the pig typing -
electrocute the typing thingamagig then type the words as the come along
im stuck after that?!
how do you get passed the clown i shocked the thing but im still inside his body
i don't know how to beat the bug inside the heart on the last level in act 2. am i supposed to shock it or set it on fire? i've lost that level several times because of that bug.
How do you get passed the part where princess starla... its like it show's her lips and I dont know what to do.
When I try to do the easy syringe cheat thing, two menus show up and the syringe disappears. If I move the mouse and click again it hurts the guy.
I'm using Firefox, could that be why?
To beat the worm thing in the mystery boss (president)After its all dazed, use a syringe on one of its eyes and so on and so on, then use the chainsaw on the crawlers and clean it up, then your done!
To get the bonus levels you must ace all sugerys in that act.
Hint: For the first bonus level use the vacum to heal his cuts and burns with blood.
Does anybody have any idea on what to do with the bats in the vampire dude??? please helppp!!!
I can not figure the clown out
Hey.
How do you get rid of the CRABS?
I keep dying with them.
Thanks.
OK so about the squid...dont know if anyone answered it but after you cut off its legs then zap it for the last time you use the chainsaw and cut it across its head...hope that helps
Dude, can anyone PLEASE tell me how to to the crab one. You know, for Scarlett Throbbing. Please, just tell me how. I am so confused...
Update
