Doomtrain

Doomtrain is an optional GF that you will only obtain when completing a Side-Quest. You have to obtain a special items and a lot of other items before you can use Doomtrain. It is stated in-game that long-term Junctioning of Guardian Forces causes memory loss to the user, because the GF draw power from the same section of the mind that stores memories, so using them is not without risks. Doomtrain, a train of doom or a doomed train, your pick. No, I think he looks cool. Actually, I think he makes a doomed path and the enemies on it, will suffer, because he'll ride over them or through them. Doomtrain's attack is Poison based, so he's really useful against human enemies, for example the Galbadian Soldiers. Some enemies might be immune to the Poison, or even absorb it, but he'll inflict more status effects, so it can still be useful. Location You can find a ring called the Solomon Ring at Tears' Point in Esthar. Also, you will need to gather the following items: six Malboro Tentacles, six Remedy+ and six Steel Pipes. Then you can use the Ring, Doomtrain will accept the items and join your party. First available in Disc 3. Check the Side-Quest Solomon Ring for more info on getting Doomtrain. Doomtrain's Attack: Runaway Train Doomtrain's attack is Poison elementary based. The attack also attempts to cause several other abnormal status effects including Poison, Darkness, Silence, Berserk, Sleep, Doom, Curse, Petrify, Confuse and VIT 0. Sometimes it's worth casting even if the enemy is immune to or absorbs Poison damage just to inflict some of the abnormal statuses. You'll see a rail road crossing and the bars will go down, trapping the enemies between them. Then, through fire, the rail tracks appear and in the distance, Doomtrain appears and he rides right through the enemies. Useful Abilities Doomtrain has four nice abilities: Elem-Atk-J, ST-Atk-J, Elem-Defx4 and ST-Def-Jx4. These are all a bit hard to come by and to get them on a single GF is truly incredible. The Forbid Med-RF is great too, but it is difficult to get the items for it. Junk, Shop, on the other hand, is a great and more practical ability. However, it shouldn't really be a priority until Disc 3 or 4. History Doomtrain (Japanese: グラシャラボラス Gurasharaborasu (Glasya-Labolas); French: Helltrain; Italian: Kharonte) is a Summon that appears only in Final Fantasy VIII. Doomtrain resembles, and some have speculated that it may have been inspired by, the Phantom Train Boss in Final Fantasy VI. Besides the obvious similarities in name and appearance, the two also have the same power to inflict many detrimental status ailments on enemies. Its Japanese name, Glasya-Labolas refers to a demon count/president mentioned in the the 17th century Grimoire, the Lesser Key of Solomon. Note that the GF Doomtrain is obtained from the item Solomon's Ring.
