Swelbard

"How lucky the people who live in Swelbard are! Up there in the mountains, away from the rest of civilisation; cut off; isolated; left alone by this crazy, modern world. It sounds a lot like being in a radio station, actually! Ha, you've got to laugh..."

- Ricky Hawthorn

Swelbard is the second hospital in World 6 of Two Point Hospital, which requires the Bigfoot DLC. To unlock it, the player will need to reach Star Level in Underlook Hotel. With objectives focusing on training and research, staff recruits will only be student-level with no trained skills, as in Mitton University.

A new clinic illness, Metropolism, will make its first appearance in both its Mechanical and Reptilian forms, along with Urban Mythology, in which they can be treated.

=Career Mode= ''I'm so pleased that you decided to come to our corner of Two Point County, Thank you! I'm not sure that they've ever had so many people visiting Underlook, and they've certainly never had so many people returning home, and it's all thanks to you.''

''Helping a pillar of the region's economy was a great start, and you're beginning to gain a reputation. The benefactors of the Swelbard Research Institute have been in touch, in fact, they've asked if you'd consider converting the Institute into a hospital for the County's most remote town.n Whilst you're there, why don't you try and get their research off the ground again?''

Keep up the good work.



P.S. Bring a hat this time, too.

Swelbard Research Institute
'' ' Welcome to Swelbard, the most remote town in all of Two Point County. You've been invited to rejuvenate the Swelbard Research Institute by setting up a research hospital. As well as treating the area's ills, you'll need to complete some of the institute's outstanding research.'' ''Swelbard is an isolated place, so it may be difficult to find staff willing to come here. Any available candidates are likely to be unqualified, desperate, or unskilled townspeople that feel like pitching-in. You'll need to train your faculty if you're going to cure some mountain-people and salvage the Institute's reputation from the academic toilet. ' ''

Training and Research
In a style reminiscent of Mitton University, the staff members available for recruitment will all be level 1, with no trained skills. Each time a staff member completes a training course, the player will receive a grant of $7,500.

Each Star Objective features a research project that must be completed; the first is for the Urban Mythology room, which is succeeded, as with other such room projects, by two researchable upgrades for its machine, the Inner-City-Simulator.

The second and third are unique; like certain of the repeatable research projects, they result in a monetary payout, although in these cases, they can each be run only once.

Illnesses Encountered
Below is a list of illnesses that will appear in Swelbard, 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 with a Star Level (, or ) next to them will only appear after that Star Level has been achieved. 1 Since Headcrabedness is a rarer variant of Lightheadedness, and not its own illness, any patient, normal or VIP, may have it instead.
