The Lizard trial. In order to save his son and collect another chip for his phone, Ethan is told to amputate his finger on camera. If the player chooses to proceed, Ethan will collect the necessary tools and place them on a nearby table. You can drink whisky to ease the pain, place a piece of wood between your teeth and apply disinfectant. After that, a tool must be selected and an amputation carried out.
The Decision: Are you prepared to make a sacrifice to save your son? You're well within your power to simply turn around and head back the way you came, failing the trial in the process and possible condemning your son to death.
There's no way to know whether your sacrifice wont be in vain, but it might be your only choice. If you do decide to go through with the amputation, it does prove ultimately worthwhile as Ethan gains another clue in the search for his son, but there's no way you could've known beforehand.
