Line 51:
* [[Signature Scene]]: The mission where you defuse a bomb with surgery tools in the original game. It's not widely remembered because it's fun or challenging or anything, but because it was a ridiculously big [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]].
* [[That One Achievement]]: One of the achievements in ''Trauma Team'' require you to get a Cool rating while shaving a bone in less than one second. That's incredibly fast, and you need to be accurate in a step where you can easily over or undershoot, and runs contrary to the more relaxed atmosphere of Orthopedics. You only need to do this once, but it will take plenty of practice to get the timing right.
* [[That One Boss]]:
** Aletheia in ''Under the Knife 2'' despite being a [[Final Boss]]. It's a [[Final Exam Boss|Final-Exam Boss]] due to how it summons waves of previous GUILT strains, but due to restrictions of the surgery environment, the GUILT summoned by it can behave much differently from when they were encountered in the main story. It becomes temporarily vulnerable when defeating individual GUILT bodies during a wave, but good luck getting to inject the main body while managing what's going on around it.
** Triti is infamous due to being a rather mean type of [[Puzzle Boss]]. The game gives you hints on how to do it, but they are incredibly vague. While it can be trivialized with the Healing Touch, this is guaranteed to destroy your rank, so those seeking to get a good rank will be forced to look up a guide to extract it efficiently. It's so bad that there's a tutorial video on it on [[YouTube]].
** Pempti is less well-known than Triti, but arguably worse. You start by injecting nanomachines into its core, which causes it to withdraw its tissue and then expose itself in self-defense. Now you just blast it with the laser. Simple, right? Of course not, this is an Atlus game. While you're attacking it, Pempti generates mini-cores that can cause lacerations, send up a wave of fluid that creates small tumors, or just drain the vitals directly. It's relatively simple to fight them off, but once you start taking hits, it's easy to get caught in a downward spiral, especially since taking any time to restore vitals means taking the laser off of Pempti and its mini-cores, which causes you to lose ''more'' ground. Is it any surprise an entire ''chapter'' was devoted to finding a way to kill this thing?
** The Pempti mutation in ''Under the Knife 2'' makes this much harder as you have to juggle your focus between 2 slightly weaker cores. But when one core goes down, the other literally [[Turns Red]] as it attacks much more aggressively until it is destroyed. Hope you weren't just focusing all your firepower into a singe core... The X mission then complicates this slightly by making one core take a little more punishment than the other before it goes down, ''just'' to trip up the players who figured out to spread the damage evenly.
** Paraskevi is a straightforward, if potentially tedious, [[Asteroids Monster]] of a GUILT. But the pain comes when trying to S-rank its first mission in ''Under the Knife''. The conditions include not letting ''any'' Paraskevi fragments escape to other organs, along with a completion time of under 1 minute and 30 seconds. Considering how fast the Paraskevi move and begin to escape, the fact that they are temporarily invincible after cutting (so you can't stun them immediately), and with the vital damage from the lacerations forcing you to waste time to raise vitals, achieving the S-rank here is notoriously difficult. The other Paraskevi missions at least are more lenient on your time.
** ''Second Opinion'' makes Paraskevi more easy to deal with by shortening its invincibility frames, slowing the rate at which it burrows away, and giving the player a visual warning when one of the Paraskevi threatens to burrow. But come the X-mission featuring Paraskevi, and suddenly, your patient's vitals are capped at half the usual max for an unexplained reason.
* [[That One Level]]: ''New Blood'' has a couple missions that would certainly qualify for this trope (these don't count as [[That One Boss]] because there are multiple operations in these missions).
** There are four challenge missions that involve treating a series of patients in a simulation. The final one involves one patient with that is infected with Kyriaki, Cheir, and infant Savato, and the one before that involves a simultaneous Deftera and Soma infection.
