[Epic Orchestral Arrangement] Trauma Center: Under the Knife 2 - Severing the Chains of Fate

Hi everyone! This is a track that was commissioned to me by Glerax, revamped with almost purely orchestral elements. It was a fun track to arrange, but also a VERY difficult one! The harmonies of it are really dense at moments, and some rhythms are really frenetic, so it was hard to transcribe those. But I'm proud of the result, and got more experienced at it! I hope you enjoy it!

If Atlus released Second Opinion 2 this would be the music for the final bossfight

[@PKM113]

They did, it's called Under The Knife 2.

[@TehhCake]

@@PKM113 Second Opinion is the subtitle of the Wii remake of Under the Knife, meaning this music would be fitting for the remake of UtK 2.

[@MemeLord-ue9dq]

I'm so glad people didn't forget about this song.

[@KravenTheKnight]

I can't believe it took me this long to find this. Thank you for making a better version of one of the best songs Trauma Center ever gave us.

[@Loptice8621]

I waited 13 years to listen to a decent version of this song on KZbin, stellar work

[@kenomacarayo5756]

I am listening to this right now while reviewing for the bar exams! I hope I pass! Thank you for this wonderful rendition of one of my favorite NDS games ever. You have my gratitude.

Holy fuck… This theme feels like your on a time limit and everyone is depending on you

[@videogamerNattie98]

I just recently beat this game and I did beat all the other games in the series, and I can say Aletheia is agreeably the best final boss in the entire series, and also the hardest. You pull more defeats in this operation alone then all the operations in all the trauma center games combined and while yes that's one hell of a claim to make its very much accurate. It isn't the most cinematic or most endearing fight in the series that would go to Trauma Team (While yes that ones surgery is not long you do have to take into consideration the amount of effort the entire team across the game has to do that manages in finally netting a actual defeat against that games main antagonist makes it a long fought, and well earned victory.) But functionally speaking this is the absolute best fight unlike the other bosses where most of them have a enduring stage 1 into a aggressive stage 2 or in Trauma Team the entire plot is overarched with it. Here though the boss utilizes all forms of enemies that you have seen across the games and summons multiple miniature versions of those enemies as such it literally is a surgery that acts like a fight where your fighting the big bad pathogen of the game much more directly then any other game while it throws every fiend it has in its arsenal in your direction all in an attempt to stop you from taking it down all the while this plays in the background.

[@gyppygirl2021]

Aletheia is the most climactic final boss, and the most difficult. That I can agree on. I think I still prefer Second Opinion Savato though. :p

[@videogamerNattie98]

@@gyppygirl2021 Narratively Savato is a simple but solid boss, functionally its solid. But he is treated more like a unique enemy then a boss with how simple his move set is and you can tell the narrative hyped up energy is carrying him when it should be him being there making that energy. Basically it feels like the game is hype manning him just because of his boss title. It also doesn't help the game he was featured in lacked polish and he was infamous in Under the Knife for being unfair. They did improve that with Second Opinion but Savato suffers from being first to the operating table functionally speaking as well. I do like Savato way more then New Bloods final boss Soma I dont hate New Blood but the narrative flow loses itself at times, and many of the surgeries feels forced because of the every episode must be a surgery principle and Soma is caught up in that paired with some of the problems Savato had but worse in some ways narratively. But I like Alethia more then Savato due to the climactic finality of it and the function of the boss being far more satisfyingly complex and more closely tied to the narrative. The boss just feels like its carrying the energy of a boss not the narrative being a hype man doing it for the sake of the title. But I still think Trauma Team's final boss is the best just because the story is peak Trauma Center, and the boss overarches the struggle in the story which makes the boss SO much more satisfying narratively to finish and is more functionally complex then Savato.

please dont ever remove this from the internet

[@pointblankvt6780]

You're telling me this work of art has existed for THREE MONTHS and I didn't know about it? I've been wanting someone to make a remix of this song for like, a *decade* and it finally happened I'm so fuckin happy

[@angelofrevelation5822]

thats okay...its been over a year and I just found it...XD

[@AnimeFan2236]

Two years for me! ;)

[@amezu3559]

This orchestration practically screams "the future of everything is in your hands, but we know you can finish off the threat for once and for all!". It sounds frantic yet triumphant, with a hint of ominous tone from the chorus. So... yeah ^^

[@ehrensto]

Oh man! Thanks a lot for covering this piece! I will definitely be playing your arrangement over a very tense DnD moment coming up soon.

[@AuroraAustralisMusic]

You're welcome!

[@yoshisarethebomb]

[@evoluder7616]

It's been 14 years since I beat UTK2 for the first time, still one of my favorite games ever. This is arrangement is incredible

[@AnimeFan2236]

This would go PERFECTLY with a refurbished port of this game! Similarly to what they did with Under the Knife 1 to Second Opinion.

[@inkroverts]

This is so cool! I was looking if there are any GUILT theme orchestral ver. but I stumbled across this gem

[@alish2001]

YOU'RE A GOD

[@Dotum]

Oh WOW I recognize this song and I haven’t played the game in over ten years this is wild! This version sounds sick!

[@Adrot]

We don't deserve this but we NEED this

[@theknightofcaduceus5248]

[@Megalith9]

HOLY SHIT this is AWESOME just in case, what kind of orchestral plugins do you use? Specially for the percussion?

[@AuroraAustralisMusic]

Hey thanks! I use mostly cinematic studio series and orchestral tools Berlin series for the main orchestral sounds, while for the more "epic" percussion I used Metropolis Ark 3, mostly

[@Megalith9]

@@AuroraAustralisMusic Thank you for your answer! Highly appreciated and I'll check em out.

[@SkippyZii]

Ok wow this is amazing

[@axcolleen]

This game is childhood! Amazing work!

This is so sick

[@The_Voice_of_the_Speaker]

if there's any way you could make an extended version of this, it would really help with my D&D campaign

[@LastMegaMan]

I do wish this was longer or extended. That or I'm stupid and can't find it

[@jediknightjameslunagazer7632]

Anyone feel like this could easily suit an Star Wars final lightsaber duel theme?

[@themasteryoshisaur]

Nice remix

[@sheep6008]

This is just, ridiculous…

[@blindhouse4744]

Did you use a midi or just by ear? Since the game files of this game are wavs

[@AuroraAustralisMusic]

Just by ear

[@reinanto4807]

0:01 when the windows XP is too strong.

[@blindhouse4744]

Cool now we have Shin Megami Tensei V

Cuando sale el FLAC

[@SpiralFlip]

Holy fuck. What choir you using?

Hey, it's Voxos from CineSamples
