Upon entering the Dome, follow the little path until you reach an area where
there is a group of people. An old man will begin talking to your party and
will be surprised that you made it through the ruins. When the old man is
finished talking to you, talk to him again to find out his name, which is
Doan. He will then tell you that there is food in the basement, but it is
guarded by security robots. Well, guess who is going down there? You guessed
it! Before you go though, head over to the Enertron to heal your party. When
you are done, head down the stairs to the left and talk to the little girl
behind the counter. You should stock up on items from her, then save your
game. When you are ready to go, head down the ladder in the center of the
area.
When you reach the room below, you will see two computer systems. Observe
either of them and Lucca will tell you that you need a password to get
through. So, climb up the ladder to the left of the computers to reacher
another area. When you enter the new area, you will be on a metal walkway that
is hanging from the ceiling. Begin by moving in a northeast direction until
you see a rat. Inspect it, to find a note attached to it. The note will warn
you that if you enter the stock room, you will be attacked. Ignore the note
for now, and follow the metal bar around until you reach the stock room, which
is north of you. When you enter, an alarm will sound causing the guard robots
to attack you.

Boss: Guardian and Bits
HP: Guardian - 1200, Bits - 200
Weakness: None
Charm: N/A
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This boss may give you a little trouble if you are not on a high enough level.
It consists of two parts, the Guardian, and the Bits. DO NOT attack the
Guardian if the Bits are still around. This causes him to counter attack
causing 70+ damage of HP to your entire party. Instead, what you want to do is
to destroy the Bits first. Once the Bits are gone, you can just pound away on
the Guardian. Beware, though, as when you kill the Bits, the Guardian will
begin a countdown from 5 to 0. When the countdown reaches 0, the Guardian
revives the Bits. So, just repeat the process until he is defeated. You will
also want to keep your party healthy, so if your HP gets to low, heal with
Tonics or Aura Whirl.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the battle is over, head north into the stock room. Upon entering, Marle
finds a dead body in the back of the room. When your party further
investigates him, they find a seed attached to a note, which they take. When
you have control of Crono, inspect the man again to find a note. The note
tells you that the rat you saw earlier knows the secrets of the Dome, so catch
it! Once you read the note, grab the Mid Ether out of the chest and head
south, back to the room where you saw the rat earlier.
When you see the rat, get ready to play a little game of cat and mouse. You
are told to chase the rat down by dashing, B Button, and catching it, A
Button. Once you catch him, the rat will tell you the password to the two
computers you saw earlier. With the password in hand, head south and go down
the ladder to reach the computer room. There, head over to the computer that
has a sparkling blue dot on it, and use the password (Hold the L and R Buttons
then press A). Doing so triggers a switch that repairs the walkway that was
once broken. After you have repaired it, cross over and enter the door into a
new section of the Dome.
Now, start by defeating the Bugger and Rats, then head north and grab the Mid
Ether out of the chest. Once you have done so, head back to where you entered
the area and take a left up the stairs. Follow the path north until you reach
a couple of Bugs. Quickly finish them and take a few steps south, where you
will be confronted by two more. When they are defeated, follow the path around
until you reach a door. Enter the door and fight the Proto 2 that will be in
front of you.
Once he is defeated, go north and up the stairs. Follow the metal platform
until you reach the other side. Exit off the stairs and go north a little ways
to encounter another Proto 2. Finish him off, then head up the stairs that
were to the left of him. Go north then east along the little platform until
you reach another door. Head inside and you will notice that there are a
couple of computers in the back. Walk north a couple of steps and Lucca will
run forward and begin working on the computer. Through her searches, she finds
that there is a gate you guys can use to get back, which is located east of
the Arris Dome. Marle then gets excited and runs to the computer and hits a
button. The button she pushes starts a visual recording of The Day of Lavos.
When the recording is over, Marle can't believe that that is how the world
will end. Your party then decides to change the future by defeating Lavos.
When your done in the room, exit it and follow the path that you did before.
Defeat any enemies in your path and make your way back to the room with the
two computers. When you finally reach the room, head south and go up the
ladder on the right. This will take you back to the area where all the people
were earlier. Upon entering, Doan will ask you if you discovered anything.
Your party will then give him the seed you found. Doan will then thank you and
give you the Bike Key, which activates the Jet Bike in Lab 32. Afterwards,
talk to everyone to see what they have to say. Also, you should head on over
to the Enertron to recover your HP/MP, then save your game. When your ready to
leave, head back to the World Map.
When you reach the World Map, head northeast until you come across Lab 32.
