*"Ah, Topless Mountain, yet another reminder of the unmatched stupidity coursing through the veins of Two Point County. Just because a mountain loses its traditional peak, through geological and meteorological wear-and-tear, does not mean that it has no top! Cretins..."*
―Sir Nigel Bickleworth

**Topless Mountain** is the Third hospital in World 7 of Two Point Hospital, which requires the Pebberley Island DLC. To unlock it, the player will need to reach Star Level  in Overgrowth. Horde Challenge Mode makes its debut here, with patients arriving in waves, rather than as a constant stream, the requisite Star Levels unlocked by completing each tenth wave.

A new clinic illness, Screwball, will make its first (and only) appearance, along with the Correcting Pool, in which it can be treated.

# Career Mode

Giles, you assured me that our research was totally comprehensive, that if this spring was on this island we would find it. So, I have decided, that if it's not here, you won't be returning with us to the mainland. It only seems fair, and I'm sure you'll understand.

Now, where was I? Ah yes. This may be your last time taking my dicatation, Giles. Savour it.

Dear esteemed colleague. I hope you're as excited for our final stop as I am. The ruins seem immensely promising. This will be it, I'm sure. As I speak - I mean write - I can positively taste the ineffable profundity of it all.

Excellent. Now why can't I taste my tea, Giles, remind me?

Topless Mountain

Welcome to Topless Mountain. The incredible natural plateaus of the area are perfect building foundations. They're just so flat. Much more suitable than those pointy Pointy mountains they have in the north. The ancient people certainly thought so, that's why they did lots of building here back in the ancient times, with their ancient tools.

The transport out here is a nightmare, as you can imagine, and tourists that make it this far tend to have gotten sick on their travels, so big groups (we're calling them 'waves') of sickly sightseers will be turning up all at once. Whilst you're treating them, Wiggy's crew will be excavating the ruins. it might be worth keeping an eye on their progress: the more they find, and restore, the more boneheads we'll get turning up at the hospital.

## Horde Challenge

Horde Challenge Mode appears in Topless Mountain for the first (but not the last) time. In prior hospitals, patients have arrived in a constant stream, with the maximum number present at any one time determined by the hospital's level and reputation. Here, patients will arrive in waves, in which all patients must be processed (treated, sent home or rage quit) before the seven-day countdown to the next wave will begin. This will require the player to strategize in a different way than normal, since income will not be a constant flow, but staff and energy costs will.

The first wave will consist of 10 patients, with a required cure rate of 55%. The number of patients will increase by 5 each wave (with the occasional larger leap), while the required cure rate will increase by 5% every tenth wave (i.e. with each new Star Level), remaining at 70% after Star Level . If the player cures ten patients in a row, the income will be increased to 150% for as long as the streak is maintained.

Wave 4 introduces the Screwball illness, and unlocks the treatment clinic Correcting Pool, along with both subsequent upgrade levels for the Autocue machine being made available for research. In addition, completing Wave 42 will grant the player the achievement 'Life, the Universe and Everything'.

Please see below for a full breakdown of each wave's requirements and when each illness will make its debut.

## Illness Waves

Below is a list of illnesses that will appear in Topless Mountain, and the rooms that will be required to treat them. Illnesses may arrive as a general admittance , on an emergency-only basis , or possibly both.

The  icon with, a number next to it, represents how many patients can be expected if this illness appears in emergencies; it may be clicked on for more information. Illnesses may appear in emergencies at any time, even before they first appear as a general admittance.

1 Since Headcrabedness is a rarer variant of Lightheadedness, and not its own illness, any patient, normal or VIP, may have it instead.

## Completion

If you had told me that we'd find the treasure we so eagerly sought, only to find that a myth largely predicated on hearsay and dusty old bits of paper wasn't totally factual or literal, I'd have assumed that I'd be disappointed, humiliated even. Instead, I confess, I'm rather tickled. I did like it there, lovely views and so on. There's a lesson to be learned, I'm sure, but I'd rather move on, immediately, to something else.

Now, Giles, let's get home and start work on that time machine.

## Eternal Youth Fountain

Throughout the first ten waves, Wiggy's team of explorers and archaeologists are working on the temple ruins in the centre of the map. As each wave completes, more of the ruins are understood, and the temple is partially reconstructed. Upon finishing Wave 10, and thus gaining Star Level , the temple is fully restored.
