Introduction
Rhinoplasty is a lair found in Monster Island where you raid a Viper Laboratory, stop White Rhino from partnering up with Dr/ Moreaus, and end Dr. Moreau's experiments. This raid rewards SCR at the reward circle.
Getting Started
Before we get started, form a group for this lair raid. Having a tank to tank two final bosses and a healer to keep everyone alive is recommended. Once that is done, head to Monster Island.

The main reason you're doing this mission, aside from getting SCR and the lair drops, is obtaining M'Ling Coins. This is the Rhinoplasty's exclusive currency that can only be obtain from the daily quest, Lairs: Rhinoplasty (Daily). Talk to the bear, M' Ling to get this quest. Once you obtain the quest, head to the lair location. I provide a route that would lead you to M'Ling and to the Lair itself.

The door way to the lair should look like this:
The Lair: Part 1
When your team enter the Lair, turn to your left and interact with the console to SKIP CUTSCENE. Players value their times and they do not want to waste a good chuck of that time with these cutscene. Your first objectives is to clear the room, rescue the UNTIL Soldiers trap in the cages, and destroy the Splicers. It would be a good idea to use those AoE powers to help clear up those trash mobs.

Your group's next objective is to defeat 30 Vipers. You will know when you get to the room as its fill with Vipers in a large room. After defeating 30 Vipers, then the first boss will appear: Viper X. In the very room you're fighting him, he will always respawn more vipers to aid him. You can pull him back to the previous hallway to make his fight much more manageable. He favors using his Power Armor attacks, a FOOM! attack which is a Sonic attack that can root you, TGM you with laser pistols, and a green wireframe AoE on the aggro's location that you should block. If you have a decent tank or a good healer, he post a little threat to your group.


After you defeat him, the room will still spawn Vipers, so get the end of the room, hide in the cubicle, and take care of any trash mobs that follows you. Do not have any summon pets on or your group cannot interact with the door that lead to the next area. Talk to the console by the door to get into the next area.
The Lair: Part 2
This is the 2nd half of the Lair. Instead of Vipers, you're now fighting Manimals. The objective is the same as always: clear the room, free NPC from their cages, and heading to the end of the lair. When you're in the final door that would lead to the boss fight, have everyone know what their roles here. A tank, or a tanky dps, should focus on aggroing White Rhino and the Chimera while the rest of the team DPS the hell out of Dr. Moreau. The tank should lure the White Rhino a the pond area as this is where the Chimera will spawn during the fight. The DPS should take care of clearing the trash mob around Dr. Moreau as more manimals are around the doc, the more defense he will have. At a certain HP threhold, Dr. Moreau will buff the White Rhino and start running through the corridor. When this happens, both the White Rhino and the Chimera will despawn and head to the next room. This will go on repeat until either Dr. Moreau is defeated or Dr. Moreau escape. Either way, you still have to deal with both the White Rhino and the Chimera to finish this quest. Both the White Rhino and the Chimera both use many Might powerset attack, but a well build tank should be able to tank all those attack. After both the White Rhino and the Chimera is defeat. collect your reward in the reward circle and turn in that daily quest to M'ling.
