How to Get Doomtrain in FF8

The Guardian Forces, or GFs, in "Final Fantasy VIII" are mystical creatures and deities that can be summoned forth to perform powerful magical attacks. Doomtrain, one of the many GFs in the game, is a powerful asset to have in your party. When summoned, Doomtrain will slam into your foes, causing them to be afflicted with all status ailments and greatly lowering their power levels. Doomtrain is an optional GF that you can only obtain by first unlocking the Alexander GF, and then acquiring several game items.
