🗺 See this place on the map ↗

Ashland Dome II is a large, multi-floored, dome-like structure in the Ashlands. It has two entrances and a single winding staircase in the middle leading to the upper floors, and it sits south of Ashland Dome I. Reading the Map of the Ashlands marks it on your map.

Who is inside

Rhinobot, plus seven or eight Screamer Units.

Rhinobot was a notable member of the Second Empire. His CPU carries a line that sums him up entirely:

Rhinobot just wanted to help, but he had no moral processing, and so would help with anything, even the most diabolical evil. He didn't see anything wrong with his child prisons.

He carries a Meitou Topper and wears [Specialist] armour (5% chance of [Masterwork]). He has two death items — removing them kills him instantly:

ItemQuantityAverage price
AI Core125,000 Cats
Unique CPU (CPU of Rhinobot)130,000 Cats

Screamer Units are also Second Empire remnants, and they additionally spawn as Skeleton Legion members patrolling the Ashlands. They carry a Horse Chopper, wear Ancient Samurai Armour and Ancient Samurai Legplates, have [High] armour (15% chance of [Specialist]), and sit at 72 Heavy Weapons and Blunt with 60 Toughness.

Why you would come

Ashland Dome II offers the most concentrated payout of the Ashland domes: one AI Core, one unique CPU worth more than the AI Core, and nine guaranteed high-grade pieces of gear.

The price is that it is in the Ashlands. Getting to the door needs acid-proof gear, real supplies and a squad that can beat a P4 Unit.

NoteRhinobot's AI Core and unique CPU are death items — taking them kills him. If you want him alive (to hand in, for example), leave those two slots alone.
